@gusgreeper I play most sports right-handed as well. Except for golf, which feels equally strange in either hand.

seriously interesting political left handed info there. that was awesome. thank you.

i am left handed and enjoy being left handed, but do regularly bitch about living in a right handed world the smudging, the scissors oh how i hear you. my mother was the first of her line not to be a forced right hander born 1950. i know that because my grandmother was forced so she thankfully refused to force my mother.

i eat and write and drink from mugs left handed. the mugs bit actually really pisses me off that i never get the good picture!! bastards!! i play most but NOT all sports right handed. like say i was a javelin thrower i’d through left but in baseball i’d pitch right.

i find everything about left handedness fascinating i think i’ll add that to my 50 to 75 list… im left handed made 1 through 25. heh

I don’t think anyone’s ever been interested in my left-handedness. I feel I’ve been missing out. Where are all the men to find me mysterious and captivating?!

Like Marianne, I’m also a right hander who has a fascination with lefties. And, like filmgoerjuan, I play sports (baseball, hockey, golf) left despite being mostly right handed (I write and throw with my right hand) – filmgoerjuan, being a player who throws right and bats left isn’t that uncommon. And I’m willing to bet that you are right eye dominant (which makes it easier to bat left and seems to be the main reason that people bat differently than they throw)

Ooh I think that is interesting. Actually I have always had a thing for lefties, is that weird!? They often seem to be artistic and introspective, dark & mysterious, and intelligent. Am I just making this up?! I’m right-handed so too bad for me, but my bf is left-handed and he kinda fits the bill. Heheh. Actually now that I think about it, he’s a Rhodes Scholar like Bill Clinton and many other politicians. Maybe it *does* translate to politics! Lefties are more captivating? Well, I always assumed it had to do with right-brain/left-brain.

I’m right-handed, but I bat left in baseball. This is considered somewhat freakish, although it’s rather satisfying to have the entire field of player shift positions when you go up to the plate.
