What makes me laugh is guys that have their driving gloves.
so you don't like gloves, well in that case, sir I challenge you to a duel!
I'd never dream of wearing gloves for driving etc. (Alan Partridge) but if it's baltic outside then I have no problem putting on gloves if I'm going to be outside for a prolonged period. Seriously what's wrong with keeping your hands warm?

Because its being a softarse. You will never get used to anything if you have to wear gloves to keep your hands warm. In fact this is why a lot of ppl get illness like flu and colds so easily. A little discomfort goes a long way to helping your body develop resistance to illness.
We have ppl like Buffalo Ber going out on cold winter mornings working with probably no gloves yet 50 miles away in the cornor of some housing estate some woman is reminding her adult partner to wear his mittens in case he gets cold.
Every year in Russia there is an annual swim in temperatures that would cause sudden death in most ppl ,yet ppl do the swim and think nothing of it. How? By starting in summer and swimming daily so as temps fall the body gets more used to the colder temps. A guy forgets his gloves and his hands are freezing.
Theres a very fine line between taking a preventative measure on something and just being a softarse who will get sick the sec he forgets to wear or do something. This is why the best thing a parent could have their young child do is roll around in shit and dirt.
i could go on,

No, the reason why that's a good thing is because we are naturally evolved to be out in the shit and dirt and exposing our immune systems to that, not living in a sterile environment.
We are not naturally evolved to live in this god-forsaken shit weather. We are evolved to live in a temperate climate in Africa.
That's why even people in Russia and Alaska and Iceland all hate the cold and have to wrap up really well. Sure maybe they get used to it to an extent, but they never get totally used to it. Maybe when they're used to the cold it seems a small few degrees celsius warmer to them. However they still hate the cold, they do NOT adapt much... and a warm summer and they are back to the default. It's not natural for humans and doing that to children is in my mind child abuse.
