na in some instances you really need gloves. i never ever needed gloves before this year, i hate them too but i use them now because of my dry skin. i have incredibly dry skin and dry hands so my hands turn chalky by themselves and my callouses get so bad they tend to crack at the edges...crack very deep into the skin. so now i use them, but only in the winter time and only for days where heavy grip is needed(ie. arms, back)

you know what i hate, is those people who worry so much about everyone else in the gym. who cares if someone is wearing gloves? it has nothing to do with you or the weights you are lifting so just get over it and lift

So true! It may not be as bad as the posers I've seen wearing their rock-climbing harnesses at the 7-Eleven convenience store outside Great Falls park (we're talking FOUR MILES from the rocks, people) so everyone will know they're into rock climbing. 
I keep things skin-to-iron until the caluses start to interfere with my sex life, Ha ha ha ha

I've always worn gloves and used straps. I used to use chalk but then I got out of it. Now that I've been completely seduced by the Dark Side and become a powerlifter, it's chalk all the way. Sure I can deadlift more using straps, but they are not legal in competition. And if I ever want to compete someday, I want to be trained and ready for it.

You know what? Some gyms, like mine, do not allow chalk. And that's a good thing, considering what slobs a lot of the guys are when it comes to putting away their equipment, unracking their plates . . .
Pay attention to what you're doing. Who cares who wears gloves? It's not hurting you, and it's none of your business.

One of my long-dormant synapses just fired... Come to think of it, there were at least three guys in my high school who used to wear their lifting gloves all day. What a bunch of whack, "Look at me, I'm taking weightlifting" douchbags, HA HA HA HA. I wonder if that ever worked to their benefit?

Imma chalk-to-iron kinda guy myself. I use wrist straps when I do work that involves more grip strength then I have. Its not that bad to wear to straps if it'l give u more weight to lift.
I have only used gloves for 1 week when I tore a calis off each hand and I wanted them to heal.

i need gloves since i hit deadlifts for back. The bars at my gym are like brand new and have a very rough texture for grip. When i'm done with a set, my hands have white spots and they sting horribly

Example of when it's not rediculous to be wearing gloves. Try to have barely over 6 inch wrists and deadlifting 3-rep sets. I can't do it, I lose the grip at the top.
Also, I do use gloves when im benching, Because I cant take the chance of it slipping and me losing concentration.
You can call me a pussy or anything you'd like, but I love my gloves.

I only use gloves on my arm days, but that's because my hands are torn to hell, and bleed on the bars if i dont. I'll stop wearing them once my hands heal up though... in HS football we were told that gloves were for pussies, something that i still agree with; but for now i'm a pussy so that i can grip the bar.

Hmm, arm-day gloves? I see some of the guys that are aout 42, skinny as hell, bad form, bad routine, and they wear them to do every exercise. I had a neighbor, till I moved (still keep in touch with the guy, good friend of mine) and he wanted soft hands, wore gloves doing every exercise, said the roughness was really unnatractive to him, so each his own.

if you are worried about what other people in your gym are doing you need to get over yourself and get back to lifting, I don't even talk to anyone when I'm in the gym, no reason to I'm there to lift, just play my music and get my workout done, its a gym not a social club

I do wanna get a pair of these Harbinger Big Grip wrist strap gloves. These are suppose to be top of the line and the best Weightlifting glove on the market. Very sweet. 
I own 2 pairs of these Harbinger Training Grip wristwraps and they are excellent. They are one notch below the Big Grip listed above, but they are very good gloves. Very paded, and comfortable and well made. I can't train without them, we can't use chalk at my gym, plus the texture of some of the bars will really get your hands tore up. I don't care what anybody thinks, I am lifting more weight than 75% of the People at my gym, if they don't like my gloves oh well!! Tough titty. They will get over it. I am not there to impress anybody and the gym is the last place I would even care. It's all about you at the gym, not what the next guy is wearing.
