How come people don't use cue sleeves instead of gloves

I was at the pool hall yesterday. Dude comes up and asks if I want to play. I said sure. He asked who else I was playing with, because he saw all my cues. I said I was just taking pictures, I collect, I don't really play anymore.

So he begins unpacking his equipment while saying "so you like wood"...?

"I have an old Meucci with a red dot..." He says...waiting for my reaction...but I had none.

He has with him a CF playing cue, and a CF break cue...and some kind of glove with a logo I don't recognize. He had a bunch of other gear too, bobbles for propping up his cues, some kind of chalk holder...and some other bits I mostly ignored.

He was wearing short sleeves and so was I, no sleeves involved.

So he has a look at several Joss cues including my block letter. They are wood...and I have no glove. I think he thought I was some kind of strange animal.

So, 11 racks later I lost 2. Notice I didn't say he won 2.

I have a notion he thinks there is something wrong with his glove as he seemed a bit disappointed with it.

The Crazy Redhead did show up but did not participate in the jousting. She provided background decoration and got me a Bacardi and Coke.

She did not wear a glove and was also sleeveless.

Iam not sure about sleeves and gloves. I admit I remain relatively ignorant.
