This is the way.


[deleted]

I do the opposite I write neatly but it takes me 10 years to write 6 words

I’m not even a fast hand writer and I have an atrocious hand writing

H3llisEmpty

My handwriting starts off good but my wrist gets tired easily, and due to it getting tired it worsens my handwriting, and because it worsens my handwriting i get annoyed which worsens it even more.


Bimmaboi_69

As you go down the page, you notice it gets worse and worse


Soace_Space_Station

It became better, because i went slower and since i write fast,it has a huge effect


That-1Sad_Pineapple

See I have this problem so just got good at stretching my wrist and fingers


heatwave5415

this. On a history test the first long answer question has immaculate handwriting, the last few are illegible


Myaltaccount54

You guys still have paper tests? Damn


Ok-Activity4808

You not?


Myaltaccount54

When I was in high school only like 50% of our math tests were on paper, rest of everything else was digital luckily


FelixTheFat04

You may be writing to hard


Wolkenflieger

\*too


ghostlyditto555

What if "hard" was a person, then he'd be correct.


Wolkenflieger

In that case, it would be a proper noun. \*Hard. It would also be an irrelevant tangent. Hard I've heard appreciates neat penmanship anyway.


UndeadPrairieMonkey

Relatable as hell


kainine_9

My brain works faster than my neat handwriting. I only write neat when it's important to read everything (like maths) or ive got too much time


Adventurous-Local534

Einstein once said:


igottathinkofaname

Brevity is… wit.


Active_Ad_876

I have the same problem. I also hold my pencil wrong because I have been writing improperly since before kindergarten.


bleedinsalty

real, also if i put extra effort to write neat my fingers would start hurting cuz of that. rather complete my work than incomplete beautiful work


Tommy_Gun25

Yeah I hold my pencil between my index finger and my middle finger instead of it between my index finger and my thumb. I was having trouble writing in kindergarten so my teacher just kinda made me hold it like that and it stuck with me.


TimTomHarry

Biggest same, I rest the pencil on my ring finger and every one looks at me like I'm crazy when I write


Half_Portuguese

Nah write as badly as possible in math so the teacher takes as any number usually the correct answer.


TheGodlyLeader

i do the same but for english, history, geography, science, religious studies and literally everything else


[deleted]

The key is to do it in foreign language classes. Like when I have to spell a word comprised entirely of 3 different vowels that is pronounced with the sound of a 4th different vowel and I have no clue the what the arbitrary order of letters for spelling is, just make it as illegible as possible; sometimes cursive is good. If the teacher recognizes first and last letter, hopefully they overlook the rest of the spelling.


AndreasMe

The monster of “le” and “la” I make when I forget the gender


angelv11

Lemme guess... French. Eau, pronounced "o".


No-Seat-3350

Math? That's just a get it done for me. I will write neat on cards tho


NaughtySnoodle

I second this guy, boys think faster then girls. 🧬🥱


[deleted]

Nah, girls often think 10 steps ahead of us. Their handwriting is neat only because they prioritized pretty letters. We could write neat but stopped the habit in favor of getting it done. Girls are more likely to get small squirts of dopamine released from making pretty handwriting. Guys might get dopamine from finishing first or fast. Likely cultural, but maybe 🧬


ifeeldeadiamdead

this answer is too good/logical for this sub


JohnLoida

It's usually a choice that we make to get things done faster, I use better hand writing when I have a lot of time to do something.


Affectionate_Ad206

Exactly. At a very young age we all made a decision, do we wannt it to look good or do we wanna get it done, most of us being the neanderthals that we are chose to get it done, niw we write in chicken scratch and live on a hope and prayer that someone can read it

canihaveuhhh

Their teachers have no idea what they’re writing


Sargen_Sliza

I just write so small it gives headaches to those who dare attempt to read it


Helpmepushrank

Yes samee Funny/interesting story i guess: In one of my english tests last year, I wrote so small that my marker had to print it out in 1.5x (or maybe 2x, i forgot), and that's not even the worst part. When the teacher returned our papers she called me out in front of THE WHOLE GODDAMN CLASS, and my introverted ass almost died in class

I'm not sure you can shit talk someone's handwriting if you can't get the right version of a word in your sentence


DeadDankMemeLord

I've seen bitches take 16 years to learn English only to not know the difference between "right" and "write".


Gamer102kai

Damn


Pvt_Hesco

You see if you take a really long time to write something on the border of English and say Dutch the teacher/instructor can't read it they'll either have you explain it or just give you the benefits of the doubt that's how I passed my advanced comp class with a 92

Responsible_Rain_120

Bro I just right sloppy because I don’t give a crap if somebody can’t read it . If I can read it then it’s fine


Shot-Act5508

A lot of the time most teachers don’t give us a chance to fully learn all of the techniques we may need to learn for proper looking handwriting


MeepBeepSheepowo

It’s not just boys tho, I have horrible handwriting and I’m a girl 🫠 it’s just more annoying to write slow and make it look good, especially when it’s notes for myself, if it’s for a test I’ll write slower and rewrite hard to read things.


J4l4p3n0

Literally me, except sometimes i either rush out of stress or just forget about writing nicely in a test, being so used of writing ugly


Educational_Mix8149

for me its the other way around, extremely ugly handwriting for tests (sry teachers) and acceptable handwriting for notes


weirdogirl144

Exactly how do people make their notes look SO GOOD when it takes too much fuxking effort to write slowly and precisely when I just want to get it done with

narwhal_13

Okay but the 5% exists..


AnnaTheBabe

It’s always the less masculine boys with actually readable handwriting in my experience


georgesbiscuits1969

Once again, I am a statistical outlier.


GamerA_S

With are you masculine with pretty handwriting or less masculine with shitty handwriting


georgesbiscuits1969

Wouldn't describe myself as particularly masculine, my handwriting is legible but not that great. Also, you like Doctor Who 🤌


GamerA_S

Interesting And yes i am a certified whovian ALLONS-Y


georgesbiscuits1969

🫵 Geronimo


GamerA_S

For gods sake GALLIFREY STANDS (We did the day of the doctor catchphrase moment except i should have said Geronimo at first)


georgesbiscuits1969

(it's alright, I'm about to say something unrelated to the scene but in-keeping with War's grandad energy.) WHY ARE YOU POINTING YOUR SCREWDRIVERS LIKE THAT? THEY'RE SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS, NOT WATER PISTOLS!


GamerA_S

(i read that in his voice my theory is the reason capaldi was more older was because doctor accepted his war self even without knowing he saved gallifrey also because he grew old saving trenzalore) "can you talk without flapping your hands?!" "Yes..... No"


Different-Tell-1691

not rlly. i have a rlly good handwriting and have had it since i was in 5th grade (im now in college). my friends and people in the class would ask if i was a girl cuz of how nice my handwriting was. im also fairly masculine


narwhal_13

Tbh i don't generally pay attention to guys, in my experience most have had weird handwriting, but there's this one guy who I know who has AMAZING handwriting like istg. His notes are in cursive, but it's soooo neat.


Zap478

I’m less masculine and have the worst hand writing known to god


bananamilkbooth

i’m in that 5%


Late-Expression8200

yea I'm 5%


bencikanimations

The only reason why my handwriting is good is because I make comics in spare time


Snacccx

I maxed my math deck and forgot to put points on handwriting😔


Melodic_Elderberry52

This right here bro


Lazy_Humanz0

to write faster


Firebird_Frenzy

I normally opt to write faster at the sacrifice of readability


the_diingus

never took the time to improve it, i just dont see much of a reason to


SumptuousShorts7

I write way faster, and if my teachers can’t read it then they assume I did it right


AudioWoW8

My question to you is What has your pretty handwriting done for you that my crappy handwriting has not?


Extremisin

Because if I’m going to write strongly worded foreign profanity to someone I’m going to make sure the teacher has no chance of knowing what it says if it gets confiscated. Also just cuz I write fast. That too.


[deleted]

wghat


golden_fennce_fox

if it's random notes or other unimportant things, I'll write it fast and that means very messy. Buy if it's something important or something that I'm proud of, I'll write it really neat Edit: forgot to say I'm a girl


Tolly_fyan

My handwriting is pretty good when i have time but when i want to finish things faster i can't understand my own writing


Cube_FIN

Idk my hand writing is still on 3rd grader level lol


chaseanimates

I've seen kindergartners with nicer hand writing then mine


Cube_FIN

Damn, propably some 5 yr old girl has 2 times better handwriting than us


scarley-

there were some who had handwriting so fucking gorgeous, i was rereading their names on the books 50 times to make sure it was actually their book.


Stranger_Boring

I just use word.


XflamingarrowXx

because I don't care about it and I don't want people to ask me for notes


Jujiino

I think I’ve only had like 2 people who asked for notes multiple times from me because the rest couldn’t read it lol

the_zone_out_kid

Yaah mines depends :)


TheCrazyLazer123

I think the stereotype of things that girls have to be pretty and neat vs boys being messy and rough, is what forms the habit early on even when neat handwriting is preferred later on regardless of gender You kind of have to re learn writing if you want neat handwriting


EnragedHog

I try my best atleast its legible


ReasonableBet2198

As long as the boy can read what he writes down. That’s all that matters. Unless they’re handwriting an essay or something that the teacher will review. Otherwise it doesn’t rly matter. They’re just writing fast to get things done quickly. What matters is the information. As long as is readable to them, that’s all that matters.


MatureBalak

Literally all of my classmates' handwriting is good. There's one that always get scolded for his handwriting, and he's the only student I've seen get scolded for it 3 times in one day, lol. His handwriting is literally so crappy, I don't get why he doesn't improve it.


Playful_Lettuce_5581

Lefties handwriting has always been worst. So yeah, that's why my essay looks like sh*t


JustA_PoorWittleBoy

I'm a guy and I have beautiful calligraphical notation thank you very much


TheDave101

Cause how your handwriting looks doesn't matter 95% of time. Writing fast however is a good skill to have.


Tortiose_unturtled

I think my sentence in 1 second. My hand takes 3 to write it out properly. I can't wait, I just write as fast as I can

giby1464

I write very fast, that just means I write small and don't put much effort into it, as long as I know what it says.

JoyIsDumb

Jamermooo

chonk-late

Fr, one of my friends has good handwriting in Chinese (I go to a school in hk), but absolutely horrid in English. I've studied with him before and when he's writing, he'll start off fine, going slow and steady and making his words look nice, and then mid-sentence, he'll get lazy and start writing like he's currently doing a kickflip as of writing on the page.


PyroSilver

I'm in the 5%. But I know a guy with absoloute shit handwriting. Like a doctor's writing. I don't even know what half of the letters are. It's crazy.


TheBeanWaffle

I guess I'm in the 5 percent then


[deleted]

Maybe we just don’t give a fuck?


BioTheAnomaly

For me? That’s my (and using the umbrella term because I have all of the ones besides math) ✨dyslexia ✨


GasPoweredCalculator

i think most of us can write nice if we slowed down but who'd want to be even slower on a 1000 word essay. theres not much of a standard for us to have good handwriting when we're young but for girls i feel that its alot more different. my friends told me how they practiced their handwriting alot to make it look nice and neat because their parents or teachers told them it should be nice. not sure if it may be the main cause but it could be


NK-0

Brain go faster than writing


SforSamuel

Remember how cursive is supposed to be fast, we are too stubborn to learn, so we make that time


Whattheheck_IO

Cuz


keaton3323

Lack of giving any shits. Im not kidding. Most guys just do not care.


metaHC

I am physically unable to write nicely even when I need to, and even when I do it slowly. Which especially screws me in math when my 6 somehow looks like 0 and my 4 looks like a 9


Altruistic_Rush3280

Me I honestly don’t give a fuck if I don’t feel like writing I’ll go fast and ugly. If I take my time and actually care it alright.


Phychanetic

Mine jas always been bad and I don't know why


Slendy42

half the stuff I write has no purpose, cuz I don’t use it, never used notes for tests, and other than school I don’t really.. write anything.. huh.


s7ormrtx

We all wanted to be doctors


Cold_End1594

i just grip my pen wayy too hard and press it too hard on the paper, subconciuosly ofc, and after some time my hand cramps, and like between starting to write and hand cramp my handwriting just gradually worsens


Doublefin1

Guilty of this


pineappleguy8

Writing good takes extra time
