About

My Hands Look Like This is an image macro series comparing the hands of a man and a woman, captioned with a confession that the man's hands are dirty and worn in order to provide financial stability for the woman.

Origin

On August 17th, 2015, FunnyJunk[1] user professoraquard posted a photograph of a man's dirty hand next to a clean woman's hand, along with a paragraph explaining how he works hard to make his wife happy:



"I work daylight to dark. Bust my knuckles, my back and my butt. I hurt all day every day and take it to the max every second. When I feel like giving up, I just think about my wife and think about how this work is helping our household. There's not a more important person in my life than her. My hands look like this, so hers can look like that."
