I waved at a female the other day and she did not wave back. I'm not sure if it was because she didn't see said wave or if she has me on ignore. I wish I knew because I have an interest in her.
I was mowing grass, not cycling. I did not have any gloves on.

No, she was inside the building, which made it more difficult for me to see.
Perhaps if I had been wearing high-visibility gloves it would have attracted more attention.
High-visibility gloves--there's a good idea.

You don't wear gloves when you mow grass? I've worn leather work gloves for decades when I do yard work, trimming hedges, etc. A proper pair of work gloves is a necessity for most jobs, from changing oil to planting a tree to handling pressure treated wood...

Yes, that is their major flaw and I was remiss in not pointing it out. Truly excellent point. This is the kind of thoughtful, hard-hitting, in depth analysis that makes this place such a bastion of intellect.

That's what proper calluses are for.

I didn't wave back because I was embarrassed about my Mavic gloves, which started falling apart right as soon as I bought them. They feel comfortable, but don't last.
