Thread: Are you left handed?

I'd like to hear (and see in the poll) how many lefties we have here at SRP. Drop by and we'll all see if there are enough southpaws to stage a mass attack on those dern right-handers!

you do realize that all civilized people are left-handed... it is the barbarian horde that blasphemes and uses the right hand!

Left handed people are always in their right mind...

How about those that are ambidextrous? Comes in handy when shaving....

even those who are ambidextrous still favor one hand over the other...
I can start IV's give injections, and do a number of other difficult tasks with both hands equally well, but I will always favor my left.

I favor different hands depending upon the task and for some tasks don't really favor either hand. For example I write left handed, throw right handed, shoot pool either way, solder either way, shave either way, use utensils either way...etc..etc.

I'm a freak:

Left-handed: write, use a fork, brush my teeth, shoot a rifle/shotgun
Right-handed: throw, swing a golf club/tennis racket/baseball bat, shoot a handgun, kick (right-footed)

Most importantly, I shave with both hands, and I don't prefer one over the other. I've been equally comfortable with both since day one.

Eagle, I do a lot of things with my right hand as well, but I find the predominant side of my body is the left. Also, most of the power and control from a kick comes from the plant foot, not the swinging foot. Just FWIW on that.

As to the question of ambidexterity, let's just go with your predominate hand. If you favor them both absolutely evenly, I don't know what to tell you .

I think a lot of us lefties are ambidextrous to an extent. This way we can yield two weapons at once when in battle against those wingnut-righties But anyway, I am considered a lefty to satisfy your curiousity.

Even though I'm ambidexterous, I tend to favor my right hand for some of the finer tasks. (i.e. I can write with both hands, but writing with my right hand is a more fluid process with improved legibility over the left hand).
