sweaty palms or extremely dry hands - whats worse? #1

argh why cant i have normal hands all day everyday

having sweaty palms makes it hard for me to work since everything gets sticky and i have to wash my hands clean constantly

but super dry hands are also awful. stuff just slides out of my palm, or in the case of my mouse, my hands slide offa it. it also makes me feel restless for some reason

whats worse / which would you rather have?

I'd rather have dry hands and keep lotion handy.

I know what you mean about dry hands and stuff sliding off... especially when wiping.

In the winter I have extremely dry hands. The back of my hands start to crack if I don't put moisturizer on it. Only in the winter though.

But its better than sweaty greasy palms. I hate touching the remotes in my house because they are always so god damn slippery. It's disgusting. I also remember passing an XBox controller to my friend so he could have a turn. When it got back to me it was like it was covered in lube.

I constantly have to wipe sweat off my laptop. All my gfs have commented on my sweaty hands when we hold hands. Also have to keep my controllers clean because of the dry sweat that builds up.

Extremely dry hands. I'll take a little moisture over having my skin crack and bleed if I don't have them slathered in lotion 24/7. Shit is so gross and uncomfortable.

ah man i totally know that feeling. sometimes id be embarassed to hold hands with my ex since my palms got really sweaty, and i know it grossed her out

for some reason, when my palms are sweaty, it improves my game. everytime i have a crazy run on MW3 or any other online game, the controller looks like it just went through a monsoon. anything less and i perform awfully :(

My hands sweat too much just like many people in my family, so I'm used to it.

Extremely dry hands are... well, they don't sound comfortable.

Sweaty hands. May cause an issue holding a controller, getting shit wet. But I get dry hands all the time which is really annoying too. Thank god for lotion.

Rather have dry hands. Putting on lotion is no big deal and is much better than having sticky, sweaty hands >_< I always cringe at couples during the summer who hold hands on days where it's just too hot.
Of course I don't prefer extremely dry hands though, that seems painful and uncomfortable :(

Dry hands

Pro-tip: Put a little bit of antiperspirant on your palms and rub it together. I have to do that about once every 9 months and it takes care of my sweaty palms.

Yep that's me. Winter sucked, my hands looked like they were zombifiied.

There's only one thing worse than sweaty controllers: controllers caked in Cheetos dust. So disgusting.

I never knew such a condition (sweaty palms) existed until one day this lady on the train was holding onto the bar, her palms were sweating and a few drops went onto the book I was reading lol. I felt bad because she seemed embarrassed, I didn't care though. But it reminded me of that guy in X-Men 2 who turned into water and melted away.

My palms have sweat before but only under extreme heat or sickness/feeling like I was going to throw up. I didn't know some people just normally sweat there during day to day actions.

Oh god I am so fucking anal about shit on my controllers dude. No one is allowed to eat while playing games at my house on my consoles. If we eat something the game goes on pause, we eat, then we was our hands with soap and water. I'm a greasy controller Nazi! Der Sixaxiz!!!

Well damn... Hope to hell this works. I have to wipe my damn hands on my jeans before shaking anyone's hand, and it still isn't enough.

If we're talking really dry, then that's worse. Sometimes when I'm camping in really dry places my hands start to crack and bleed. That's miserable.

But overall I have regular-to-dry hands, and it's fine since lotion can offset any issues. I can see how sweaty hands would be less desirable on a regular basis.
