Probably not true in every instance, but why is it that the fairer sex tends to have much prettier handwriting (and, for that matter, doodle-ability) than us grunts?

to compensate for their bad math skills

The real answer is that those who pay more attention to detail will likely have better penmanship. My reasoning is that we had penmanship class when I went to catholic school (up to 4th grade). It has never left me... and I'm pretty anal about a lot of things.

We get right to the point. For males it's what the words are meant to do. Females like to decorate their handwriting beacuse they care more about how their handwriting looks.

guys-don't care how they look at home/other places sometimes
girls-want to look pretty, put on makeup, do their hair, perfume, etc.
:cool:

But you might agree that handwritten stuff is better to look at than typed stuff. In time and effort/hard work context.:)

on the same note, seeing a girl with poor handwriting is sort of strange...

The question is ... do women have better "writing skills" if they're holding the pen? :Q

I have more important things to do than focus on something as trivial as the quality of my handwriting

Yeah, it's because in general, girls develop their fine motor skills at a much earlier age than boys. My daughter at 4 has better fine motor skills than my 8 year old son. It's just biology in action.

So now genes tell us how to write. We have brains + hands and imagination to handwrite, you know.;)
Writing doesn't start when you are 1 month old. It takes practice and hard work and that's where girls get their nice handriting from.:roll:
