I have beautiful handwriting. Every time some girl asks me for help with problem x of class y, she comments "Wow, you have really good hand writing!" :cool:

EDIT: But then again, I have been confused for a female many times and have even wondered if I was born intersexed.

We need a pic NOW.

girls are smarter, especially when younger, and are much easier to educate. They can focus on these type of tasks and tend to develop coordination much faster than boys.

while the girls are furiously practicing their "a's," we're sitting across the table taking bets on who will eat the paste.

You do realize of course that you have just contributed to this thread being 200 posts long now. :(

thats the thing, book learning is good for an average i guess.
but there are less bill gates and steve jobs from that kind of compliance...which is probably why there is a gender gap. where it is just a matter of grinding through a set curriculum like medicine, women are taking over...and why prisons are filled with dudes.

I know my penmanship is a combination of genetics, the way I hold a pen, and being lefthanded. I can't help but drag my hand through everything I write.

My handwriting sucks (I'm a girl). It might be the equivalent of neatish handwriting for guys. My best friend called it chicken scratch. Don't give a fuck, though.

The sad thing about my penmanship is you'd think I'd make up for my being a better typist but honestly I'm pretty shitty at that too.

I have both hands just a genetic disposition to write like I'm afflicted with some kind of palsy

because handwriting skill is inversely proportional to intelligence

JK, it is because most guys are lazy fucks who don't care about their appearance and are probably too illiterate to write often

Have you guys seen women with just awful handwriting? It's weird. It's off-putting in a way too. It's like seeing a girl who doesn't shave her armpits.

True, they only suck at misogynist male mathematics. At feminine math they excel. The author of a reading sample in my SAT knows this.

Man Math Example: " i need to save money before i can buy that new thing i want"

Woman Math: Credit card = infinite monies = shoes and other crap. o_O

Shouldn't the effect of a fatty finger of great girth better encapsulate any writing utensil with added cushioned control?
