Why is 'male handwriting' recognisably different from 'female handwriting'?

Question

Can you usually understand someone's gender by looking at handwriting? What are you looking for?

Answer 1

I believe is is socially reinforced that women should take care of their appearance in anything they do. If you have a man that takes care of his appearance and cares how others perceive them, then I believe their handwriting would reflect more of a female's handwriting. Making sure all lines are symetrical and legible, caring about the person who is reading it and making sure they understand. So to answer your question, no I don't believe you can tell by just looking. Because it would depend on the spectrum that they view themselves. I've met men that write like women and women that write like men. It's individual, in my opinion. :) Go MAVS.

Answer 2

Most men have less good handwritings than females ...
But - I also know men who have almost beautiful handwritings - and female who have illegible handwritings ...

You can´t determine the gender - but you can determine whether the person is a medical or not ... (ALL of them have bad handwritings)

Answer 3

I think that when little girls are growing up alot more attention is paid to detail and (of course) we write in cursive alot more when keeping diaries. Guys on the other hand just muddle through and don't pay so much attention to how something looks as opposed to the content or a finished task. The only exception I have noticed is when someone has attended drafting school or taken some architecture courses. Male and female alike.

Answer 4

Cuz men and women are different in almost all aspects. Handwrirting is a sign of personal characteristics of a human being and since we are socially and psychologically constructed, these impacts are reflected onour personality. But one cannot still claim that it is possible to distinguish the two because there are to many men, not an exception, who write neat like a woman and the other way around.

Answer 5

Women have better fine motor skills by nature, so it makes sense that their handwriting would be more legible generally. I have seen some girls' handwriting that wasn't very easy to read though, so there are fluke cases, but in general, females have better fine motor skills.

Answer 6

Males tend to grip the pencil harder and do not do the fancy loops, hearts, swirels that women often do. This is not 100% true but probably 90%. As a librarian, I have seen MANY signatures on library cards.

Answer 7

This isn't always reliably true. I taught myself to read and write before I was old enough to go to school, and I probably modeled my writing on my father's, if anyone's. To this day, people think my writing is "male". It is very sloppy and spastic. Meanwhile, my bf has such pretty writing you wouldn't believe it. But he is a complete perfectionist. So ya never know.

Answer 8

the golf eco-friendly Anaconda lady will commonly devour between the adult males that grow to be part of the mating ritual. she will have the capacity to devour him complete and alive appropriate after mating. she will have the capacity to choose foodstuff immediately after growing pregnant and the male makes a accessible first dinner after. because he's male, it truly is not that a lot of a loss besides.

Answer 9

Because men are recognizably different than women.
