I’ve heard that the size of the fingers correlate to the size of your nostrils. Do you happen to have a long nose? 
Weight training will make your hands more vascular. The veins standing out on that back of your hands will make them look more rugged.

Yes, they still do~~by training the hands, feet, etc by punching, kicking, you’re desensitiziing them, and also with all the other ideas here, to make them look well, “manly” A small pair of hands with calluses and healed scar tissue looks as if they can handle themselves in tough times! I have women friends that say they LOVE a man’s rugged hand(s) on them. But also another man seeing them tough and hardened will think twice before messing with you. Iron palm training is still used for toughening the hands to punch thru plaster walls for example without pain, as thru a practice program, you do that regularly. You can also train the palms and fists, knuckles, etc, by placing a phone book on a table, pointing your fingers down like a spear strike, then gently at first, fold your fingers as you strike down, and strike the book. You’re toughening your hands, plus working your forearm muscles simultaniously. After awhile (weeks/months/years) , you can hit the book full force without pain. Just start slow and light, and stay focused or you can really injure yourself! Fold your fingers without putting them into a regular punch, as if you’re holding a roll of quarters or a bug inside so you don’t squish it. It’s called the soft fist and it looks like a small box with your fingers straght after folding at your lower knuckle, the fingers touching he bottom of your palm. This protects your hand/fist in a straight line and hopefully from breaking!
Try doing clean & presses with a plate-hold the plate pinch style, clean it so it’s pointing at the ceiling & keep it like that while ppressing it out. You could also do (one arm) curls with plates, try to keep them in line with your forearm (waaaay harder than it sounds because it works the wrist & fingers). If a guy (or a girl I guess) can do a 45 he’s got pretty scary hands.
Before you get any equipment, I would get John Brookfield’s “Mastery of Hand Strength” from Ironmind.com for I think $15. This guy does ridiculous stuff with his hands–bends 1/4 inch bars into designs (“scroll work”), tears phone books. In the back of the book, it tells about a feat of his where he tore a phone book, bent a bunch of nails, tore a deck of of cards and several other things…in about 30 seconds. The equipment he uses can be made at home–buckets, rope, pliers, etc.
