man hands

Unfeminine finger appendages

Man hands are noticeably large, thick, or rough hands on a woman—hands that look like they belong to a man.

The term gained currency from a 1990s *Seinfeld* episode where a character's masculine hands become a dating dealbreaker.

It's typically used disparagingly: She's gorgeous, but she's got man hands.
