What's the reason that male and female handwriting differ so much? A female friend said girls make their handwriting neater to one-up other girls, is this true? I ask because mine used to be mistaken for a girl's by teachers.

>>21885561
>A female friend said girls make their handwriting neater to one-up other girls, is this true?
Good god, am I about to reach even deeper levels of disgust for women? I didn't think it was possible

>>21885464
for a male be a nice human = living death

>>21885561
It's intelligence. Smarter people have a hard time slowing their thoughts down enough to have neat, cute writing.
I once met a female who had an IQ of ~140 and her handwriting was atrocious, like a guy's. All Midwit women (aka women) have handwriting like in the OP pic.
Picrel is Mozart's handwriting.

The holy moly part got a good laugh out of me. It’s funny to see harmless idioms used as exclamations on this website rather than the usual profanity.

I envy your ability to stay organized. I am incapable of writing anything of substance outside of a computer because I legitimately do not understand how to organize pen and paper writing.

Also, your theyussy must be pretty tight.

that handwriting looks very neat. compare it with Brahms's

they also wrote in a cursive script.
I learned cursive when I was real young but I never took it seriously. Only some of it stuck. I would like to re-learn it now.

>>21886067
>they also wrote in a cursive script.
kurrentschrift, for the germans

>I would like to re-learn it now.
I use basically the palmer business script with a few personal alterations. Go through the exercises in the book until you're happy—they do work.

I believe op found this image on a website called reddit.com and is using it to bait replies

>>21885561
It's this>>21885597. But to go deeper it's the iq bell curve. As they said midwits have the best writing (while both low iq and high iq have worse). And on iq the bell curve women cluster much more around the average compared to men who are more spread out. So women are much likely to be midwits rather than being retarded or smart.

>>21886083
I have never seen that before, Ill have to check it out.
thanks

>>21886229
np. as with all the other subjects, the education industry little by little chipped away at the actually education of anyone in handwriting and penmanship over the last century. Palmer script strikes a good balance between modern practicality and pre-modern beauty.

>>21885464
Gay and pretentious as fuck

>>21885464
Strong "good grades and perfect attendance girl" vibes emitted here

>>21885597
In Mozart's case here, I'm pretty sure Germans were taught some abominable version of cursive which nowadays has fallen out of use. My German friends mentioned that they cannot read letters their grandparents used to write, that shit was outright illegible to them.

What did he mean by this?

>>21886369
This is how I do it. I'm not going to try to make it look any worse, or better, than it is.

And if you don't s pistol on deck to end it if you write something irredeemable, then you aren't writing on the edge

>>21886369
Correct

>>21885744
Can you give us a rundown of how this is organized?

If your writing setup doesn't look like this combined with notes scrawled on napkins and used burger wrappings then, quite frankly, I don't know if you are even trying.

While reading on a screen sounds like the most logical alternative, it makes my eyes hurt and I find it really hard to focus on the screen for extended periods of time. When using paper I don't seem to have this issue.

>>21886295
lol, my grandma sends me letters every month, and I've kept all of them, but I haven't read even a single one of them, because I can't read her handwriting. She doesn't know.

>>21889181
Cruel if true, anon

>>21886295
Forget about handwriting, Fraktur is disgusting in print too. It's like the writing you'd see in a diploma. Way too convoluted and crowded.

I have that same tiger rug

>>21889830
because moms and grannies live for things like that and you could be making her so happy and instead you're taking it for granted

>>21889843
she doesn't know that. nevermind that she's the least sentimental person I've ever met by far, she gets to send her letters, and exists in a world where I read them. She only ever asks if I got the letters if there was money in them, but she has never asked if I read them. it's not even a white lie. I don't even know if it counts as a lie of omission.

also if you're worried about her, she's more alive than I am at this point, and I visit her every month.

>>21885464
What does it mean to be a "nice" human?

>>21885464

>>21889859
you're going to read those fucking letters and respond to her in person and mention things from the letters or i'm going to twist your fucking head off

>>21889923
no

>>21890529
Anon, I'm going to join in with this anon and show up with a baseball bat if you don't read them. I'm sure there's some app out there that could easily transcribe the writing into something you can read

>>21890535
>>21889923
you both are greatly overestimating what those letters say. they obviously don't say anything important enough for her to mention it to me. I spend hours discussing everything from flowers to theology with her, in person. I don't know why the both of you are so angry about this. I appreciate the letters very much, and I'm always glad when I see one, because of the thought behind it. I just don't read them.

Why are some people obsessed with "being nice", "being kind", "just don't be an asshole!", etc.? Why do they care so much? People on 4chan aren't nice, so what? I don't see the importance of it.

>>21891878
4chan is an exception. IRL it's much more important to be nice, if only to make your own life easier.

>>21891878
that being said, people who need signs to remind them to not be assholes completely baffle me.

>>21885597
I'm high IQ and I wish I could say this applies to me, but really my handwriting is just terrible because I learned to hold my hand sideways to write at some point in elementary school and never bothered to teach myself to write correctly. My writing looks fucking offensive.

>>21885464
cute, but, at the risk of repeating the majority of the anons in this thread, I don't like overly tidy working tables

>>21886300
Nice. I like it, it's simple. I see it's a small and plain desk used for multiple things so it's hard to maintain a consistent messy state.

>>21886335
Assuming you didn't arrange the books like that, I'll say I like the mess. Still, not really usefull mess, just a collective of random piles, it seems.

>>21886340
I love this one. The notes, post its and dispersed paper sheets books look like a natural result of productivity, very practic. Looks a lot like my own, except the drink.

I swear I have met 15 girls who are almost exactly like this and I didn't get along with any of them.

>>21893993
>Depressed
sort of, some of the time, but I would never admit it to anyone in person
>writer that hasn't written more than a line a day for months
actually, I have months at a time where I get 500-3000 words or so per week, then go 2-3 months writing almost nothing, then go back over earlier drafts revising and it usually gets me writing again
>and is teetering on the brink of alcohol addiction/10
that ship has long sailed. Been a problem drinker for 15 years and a legitimate alcoholic for 12.

>>21885561
It takes longer for boys to perfect whatever it is that controls handwriting than girls. In the past this didn't mean much, especially in the upper classes as time wasn't of the essence and you had beautiful script in all letters. Now school is rushed to fuck and boys are usually left behind by the time girls are already able to experiement their own writing. It took me years to move on from chicken scratch. I'd also say it's because boys are competative as fuck and we would always race eachother to finish first making handwriting dogshit

>>21885597
That handwriting is quite good. It looks uglier than it is because you can see the writing on the back of the page filtering through.
>Smarter people have a hard time slowing their thoughts down
Every person I've met who has claimed this of themselves has had terribly poor reasoning abilities. Read Plato if you want to see an actual intelligent person put deep thought into a clear, non-spasmodic format which isn't just chaotic self-confusion.

Cringe 'satire'. I hate trannies, too, but how can you wrote such corny shit as if it's clever?

>>21891878
it creates a better space. and i think manners are important. superior social formation and all that can easily be lost or become rare. manners are definitely indicative of social and cultural excellence. however, basically everyone saying that is just trying to silence things they don't like. the opposite side of bad spaces. neither shitposty hostility nor autistic moralism (which is also extremely hostile) makes for a good space. because doing away with everything doesn't work. because repressive hierarchy and control doesn't work.
