redrobbo   10 #37 Posted April 28, 2009 •Sexuality. Research from Canada reveals this interesting quality of left-handed people: they’re more likely to be homosexual.  My partner and I are both homosexuals, but we are both right-handed. However, we are not Canadians. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
callippo   10 #38 Posted April 28, 2009 left-handed. It's the hand I write with.  bat right, bowl left.  not sure what 'eating right handed' means. If it means I use a fork in my left hand and a knife in my right, then I eat right handed.  when I eat with chopsticks, I use my left hand.

kipper   10 #39 Posted April 28, 2009 Im left handed to write, paint and play cricket and golf. I was taught to shoot right handed as there are no left handed rifles.  My metalwork teacher at school just had to shake his head when I used a hand drill as the orientation blew his mind.

Plain Talker   11 #42 Posted April 28, 2009 My partner and I are both homosexuals, but we are both right-handed. However, we are not Canadians.  It could just be an exclusive trait to Canadian Left-handers and Gay folk, Red...?  When I married the former Mr PT, the wedding ceremony was an interesting one, with regards to Left-handedness:-  Of the main players in the ceremony, I and my hubby were the only right-handers. The vicar who married us was a southpaw. Mum-in law is a southpaw, as is the brother-in-law, who was hub's best-man. My Maid-of-honour (I didn't have a bridesmaid, as such) is also a southpaw. We felt a bit outnumbered!!  My eldest Granddaughter is dolly-handed, too.  I'm right-side-dominant, but I can do a few things ambidextrous; some folk would give their right arms to be ambidextrous.

Joraffe   10 #44 Posted April 28, 2009 I use both. Apparently, when I was younger, my dad used to make me write with my right hand instead of left, because it was 'odd' to be left handed (i think my dad was the odd one!) so can't use my left hand at all for writing.  I kick a ball with my left foot, playing any sports like cricket/rounders/badminton/tennis, I hold the bat/raquet in my left hand, but I throw a ball with my right hand.  I also could never work out why I couldn't use potato peelers, until someone pointed out last year that it was because I was using it in my left hand, and it was made for righties.

callippo   10 #45 Posted April 28, 2009 left handers often seem to suffer from this delusion that they are ambidextrous, just because living in a right-handed world means that they are better able to perform tasks with their 'other' hand than right-handers usually are.  but true ambidexterity - where one is equally comfortable in using both hands - is really exceptionally rare. It's different to somebody that has just learned to use their 'other' hand better than average. Most of us will go through our entire lives without meeting a single one.

epiphany   10 #46 Posted April 28, 2009 Left handed people annoy me.  They're so.... left handed.  "Ooh look at me, I do things with my LEFT HAND, aren't I brilliant"  It's like yeh, we get it, YOU'RE LEFT HANDED! Stop going on about it. Nobody thinks you're "special".  Grow up, left handed people. Your little protest towards society was cute at first, but now it's just pathetic.  Bloody cackers!  :rant: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
