Any Lefties?

DJMK4 · 9 Jan 2012 at 06:33

My right handed handwriting is terrible, I blame the invention of the keyboard and the end of the pen and paper in my life

I have to buy two birthday cards at a time as I know the first one will end up in the bin most times.

I have a younger brother who's a lefty and I was quite surprised to see how awkward certain things can be.

Am I only the person that writes cursive? I don't know anyone who does it except me

I write cursive naturally, I avoid doing it for some things though.

Quite a few years ago a couple of gay mates said that most gay men were left handed and I told them not to talk daft.
They said that if I didn't believe them go and watch some gay films.
That was the most awful 6 months of my life watching that stuff 4 hours a night to see they were right.

How did "go watch some gay films" translate to a 6 months gay films marathon?

More importantly, what was the result of this investigation? You must have watched over 700 gay films by then, if each were 2 hours long, twice a night for 6 months.

Does anyone have the ability to use both left and right side with equal precision and power?

I can write with either hand but I'm selective on what I do with either hand. I can use a hammer in my right but prefer to use my left. With scissors it's the other way around.

I'm the same, can write with either hand but prefer my left. But then its different for different things, using a hammer or a saw I'd use my right hand, brushing my teeth, my left etc.
Only problem I had was the usual one of banging elbows sitting on the right side of a right handed person at school (so being able to switch hands was useful...)

I'm a lefty :cool:

TommyV · 9 Jan 2012 at 09:37

Left handed here.

The amount of ink I've smudged into the back of my hand when writing is phenomenal.

Naffa · 9 Jan 2012 at 09:43

Me and President Obama are left handed. But I play the guitar right handed, weird! :eek:

Yes, it's awkward, but one adapts.

Although I've found I'm ambisinister so it doesn't matter which hand I try and use.

Surprised nobody has mentioned this yet, but if you dont abusively force a lefty to become a righty, they will grow up to have a pretty poor choice of gaming mice! Wont somebody please think of the children!!

It's not a normal thing to do that's for sure :/

Why dont they like lefties ? Also how long for and how long in the day? I call shinanigans

Only recently has it become anything but the norm. Society as a whole didn't like lefties for a long time.

Other than writing, yes I can. Writing I'm just crap at.

Nah. But I've noticed lefties are good at Art

I'm left handed at writing, tennis and kick with the left foot.

But right handed at darts and golf, lifting pints, throwing balls etc. :confused:

I'm rubbish at art really rubbish...

I use my right hand for mouse/gaming (perhaps why I'm also rubbish at that as well hehe)

Also 3 out of 5 in my family were lefties and 4 out of 8 in my wife's family were lefties.

My wife and son are right handed freaks.

Would have been easier just to make a poll on a gay forum.

wouldn't it have been easier to visit a gay website and ask for a poll?

I'm a leftie, but can use either hand for mousing due to many years of kb/m gaming.
