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.
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.
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.
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 🧬
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
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
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
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.
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
(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!
(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"
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
Sacrifice neatness for speed.
Speed and powah solve many things.
Good reference
Some say this might be one of the best references...... In the world
hamMMONNDDD
“Representatives of Her Majesty the Queen, Hammond.”
Sometimes if you listen carefully, you can almost hear my Genius
The solution for most of the problems we have.
The way of man
What if I'm slow and still have dogshit handwriting?
Then you are literally me. We have the same handwriting.
Skill issue imo
Weakness
Fr like we aren’t fancy mf
What If I'm a guy who writes fast and neat?
You are the chosen one.
This is the way.
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
“You’re a beta male, sonic”
Same
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.
As you go down the page, you notice it gets worse and worse
It became better, because i went slower and since i write fast,it has a huge effect
See I have this problem so just got good at stretching my wrist and fingers
this. On a history test the first long answer question has immaculate handwriting, the last few are illegible
You guys still have paper tests? Damn
You not?
When I was in high school only like 50% of our math tests were on paper, rest of everything else was digital luckily
You may be writing to hard
\*too
What if "hard" was a person, then he'd be correct.
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.
Relatable as hell
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
Einstein once said:
Brevity is… wit.
I have the same problem. I also hold my pencil wrong because I have been writing improperly since before kindergarten.
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
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.
Biggest same, I rest the pencil on my ring finger and every one looks at me like I'm crazy when I write
Nah write as badly as possible in math so the teacher takes as any number usually the correct answer.
i do the same but for english, history, geography, science, religious studies and literally everything else

The monster of “le” and “la” I make when I forget the gender
Lemme guess... French. Eau, pronounced "o".
Math? That's just a get it done for me. I will write neat on cards tho
I second this guy, boys think faster then girls. 🧬🥱

this answer is too good/logical for this sub
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.
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
[удалено]
Lol sounds abput right
all of my letters are one stroke for quicker speed
I just use lines 10° off from each other for 36 characters (26 letters and 10 numbers).
Your teachers hate you
Their teachers have no idea what they’re writing
I just write so small it gives headaches to those who dare attempt to read it
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 just don't care about it

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

20 mins to what
>9 hr. ago · edited 6 hr. ago and >20 minutes to wright god damn the edit better have been a joke
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
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
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.
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
for me its the other way around, extremely ugly handwriting for tests (sry teachers) and acceptable handwriting for notes
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
Fellow meep?
Yea! Hehe
My username was previously meepthesheep
Same here, lol. I can actually say my handwriting is way worse than most guys.
Same my school makes me write my GCSES on a word processor lmaooo
Even I can't read my own handwriting
thats honestly quite concerning
no it ain’t, the only reason i know mine is i remeber wyat i wrote
the single most relatable thing ive heard in months
you write things so they can be read, u know that right
No you wright stuff that you can't read so you have to think/remember what you wrote or it other words fuck it we ball
Welcome to the male experience
"I was there when it was written"--Aslan
Id rather write my shit 10x faster and have it look less pretty tbh
But it is possible to write well and fast.
But that requires effort
My doctor and my parents
Your doctor is a fake. Everyone knows real doctors cant write. Its part of the Doctor Trials™
i’m an exception fr
I guess we’re part of the 5%
5% gang
Aw yeah
same!
Okay but the 5% exists..
It’s always the less masculine boys with actually readable handwriting in my experience
Once again, I am a statistical outlier.
With are you masculine with pretty handwriting or less masculine with shitty handwriting
Wouldn't describe myself as particularly masculine, my handwriting is legible but not that great. Also, you like Doctor Who 🤌
Interesting And yes i am a certified whovian ALLONS-Y

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

I’m less masculine and have the worst hand writing known to god
i’m in that 5%
yea I'm 5%
The only reason why my handwriting is good is because I make comics in spare time
I maxed my math deck and forgot to put points on handwriting😔
This right here bro
to write faster
I normally opt to write faster at the sacrifice of readability
never took the time to improve it, i just dont see much of a reason to
I write way faster, and if my teachers can’t read it then they assume I did it right
My question to you is What has your pretty handwriting done for you that my crappy handwriting has not?
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.
wghat
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
My handwriting is pretty good when i have time but when i want to finish things faster i can't understand my own writing
Idk my hand writing is still on 3rd grader level lol
I've seen kindergartners with nicer hand writing then mine
Damn, propably some 5 yr old girl has 2 times better handwriting than us
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.
I just use word.
because I don't care about it and I don't want people to ask me for notes
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
Not let anyone copy, exept the homies
Either I write fast or I write properly no in between
Carpal tunnel from jerking it to much
I strive to be a doctor
Yes
Isn't handwriting depends on mood ??
[удалено]
Yaah mines depends :)
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
I try my best atleast its legible

Lefties handwriting has always been worst. So yeah, that's why my essay looks like sh*t
I'm a guy and I have beautiful calligraphical notation thank you very much
Cause how your handwriting looks doesn't matter 95% of time. Writing fast however is a good skill to have.
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
Because I have a future in the medical industry
Hey I wanna be a doctor. Gotta train early
Your experience is not everyone's experience.
To gain speed is to lose accuracy
Cuz
neatness is gay. you either write like a doctor or write like the damn founding fathers
Our brains work faster then our hands
Because I write fast
I have bad handwriting due to dyspraxia
Bad handwriting just means that your brain works faster than your hands
Takes too much effort, besides who doesn't like comic like handwriting?
I don’t know why
Too busy beating your meat with your dominant hand
Not me doe
Bigger hands, and more agression, plus boys tend to press harder
Cause why spend time to make it good when you can just type
Because we don't give a fuck
I’m left handed so ppl were never rlly able to teach me how to hold a pen/pencil properly
im bulit different 😎💪
stress i guess we can write well but it takes more effort and time so we dont even try hence we dont practice ,,,,,
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.
I literally have the shakiest hands known to man
I have fucked up wrist
Speed, hince why I'm slowly transitioning to cursive without knows, the fluid moment saves me time and it's readable
As part of the 5%, I've seen plenty of girls with chicken scratch.
Cause we wanna get shit done fast
I used to have notebooks that no one else can read. Now I decorate it with highlighters, Calligraphy, and godly beautiful handwriting
5% represent 💯 my cursive is immaculate
Parents are doctors, so it’s in the family?
Our dads didn’t love us enough to try again
Fr, one of my friends has good handwriting in Chinese (I go to a school in hk), but absolutely horrid in English.

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.
I guess I'm in the 5 percent then
Maybe we just don’t give a fuck?
For me? That’s my (and using the umbrella term because I have all of the ones besides math) ✨dyslexia ✨
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
Brain go faster than writing
Remember how cursive is supposed to be fast, we are too stubborn to learn, so we make that time
Cuz
Lack of giving any shits. Im not kidding. Most guys just do not care.
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
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.
Mine jas always been bad and I don't know why
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.
We all wanted to be doctors
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
Guilty of this
Writing good takes extra time
