If your a Left-handed dominant male, Get in here if you want to be mind-blown.

[oGSwepT]

All these statements are based off studies that are significantly correlated with being left-handed.

- Roughly 10% of the world's population is left-handed.
- Males are twice as likely to be left handed than females
- Left-handed males on average have more testosterone than right handed males (figure is around 10-20%)
- Areas with the most homicide rates have a higher concentration of Left-hand males
- This is due to several suggested hypothesises by researchers. (below is explained)
- Left-handed males have more testosterone on average thus partake in risker activities.

- Left-handed males are more impulsive and hesitant due to their brain being right hemisphere dominant opposed to Left side dominant like males. (testosterone plays a role as well)

(These two below are suggested hypothesis, it may or may not be true) (mike tyson is a lefty)
- Left-handed males have a higher advantage in combat due to Left hand dominant use which is unnatural for a right-handed male.
- Considering these acknowledgments, left-handed male would successfully win more fights, giving them self-confidence even if they consciously didn't know it was due to their left-hand. This leads to increased risk-taking.

Other facts...

- Left-handed males that complete at least one year of college earn roughly 12% more than their counterparts.
- Left-handed males that complete at least 4 years of college earn roughly 20% more than their counterparts.
- Left-handed males are more likely to work in professional jobs, opposed to more right-handed males working less in that field comparatively.

(interesting)
- Left-handed males are more correlated to have higher intelligence, genius intelligence, and gifted on average than right-handed males. Even though most studies try to debunk this as a myth, the results are obvious. (explained below)

- Left-handed males are dominant in the right side of their brain(hemisphere) and this side is known to control spatial reasoning, visuospatial reasoning, and creativity.
- This allows us to form quick judgements and process information based on past experiences more efficiently than right-handers. (we see the bigger picture quicker and actively seek new information)
- Last 7 U.S presidents have been left-handers.
- Mensa, the most intelligent society in the world, 20% of it's members are left-handed people. This is amazing considering the fact only 10% of the world's population is left-handed.
- 3 out of 4 of macintosh inventors were left-handed.
- Left-handed people are more likely to be a entrepeneaur than work routine jobs.


DOWN-SIDES OF BEING LEFT-HANDED DOMINANT

- Even though left-handed males have on average more testosterone than right-handers due to several reasons suggest reasons, left-handers are more prone to disorders and diseases.

- Left-handed males are more prone to have ADHD, Dyslexia, and Schizophrenia ( i have mild ADD )
- Left-handed people tend to live shorter lives (i have researched several reasons for this)
- Left-handed people are more prone to Autism (excess testosterone causes autistic traits) Men are 4 times more likely to have Autism than girls.
- Left-handed people are more likely to have divorce

This is a highly accepted hypothesis on why left-handed males are wired the way they are and why their is a mysterious reason of why their so small in numbers. The link read is extremely long and takes a lot of mental focus due to attract and origin words being used.

CLIFFS of link

- Left-handed people are wired slightly genetically different due to environmental change and adaptation that caused different genetic mechanisms for survival.

- Left-handers in primitive times were: The right hemisphere dominant male, cerebrally optimised by ‘Natural-Recombinatory Selection” at periodic, isolative and multi-generational cerebral
speciation events. The left-handed male evolved to recombine the maternal
genome with the paternal genome.

Right-Handers in primitive times were: The left hemisphere dominant male, cerebrally and physically optimised
by Natural and sexual selection within specie life. The right-handed male, being
the specie trait male could not cerebrally speciate towards greater genetic
recombinatory complexity. The right-handed male remained tied to the
mutational origins of DNA.

Wow. I was born lefty, my parents tried to force me to be a right handed (Chinese upbringing - has to do with calligraphy), but I resisted. Ive never met another left handed Chinese person, besides my brother.

I get a huge thrill from control, in every aspect of life. I study engineering at a highly selective university, and I am diagnosed with ADHD.

But I do question the effectiveness of a study of such a general trait, and the implied causation vs. correlation.

[racketteer]

what If I only massage the sausage with my left hand but I'm righty in most other aspects?

edit: the boxing thing is mostly due to expectations of where shots should be coming from. southpaws even have trouble defending against southpaws because all of the mechanics change, especially when it's a southpaw v. conventional fight.

[kwah22]

I'm a baseball players. Kinda wish I was left handed.

[Questions1111]

Good read.

inb4 thread is inundated with left hand ass wiping jokes.

[Rhythm825]

Lefty checking in.

Feelsgoodman until I got to the downsides.

Left handed brah checking in

[santideva]

born lefty, switched or was forced to switch to righty. still counts, eh?

[Latic]

Left hand master race reporting in.

[QuasiMoFoo]

lefty brah checking in, I can do complicated math in a matter of seconds. Brahs will usually be righting it down or trying to figure it out and I'm done with the problem all in my head. Always score high on tests but i'm lazy.

[NOVA888]

Left handed woman.

I'm Left-hand dominant fully... I also have ADD. I am from Eastern Europe and was exposed to high amounts of testosterone. I am extremely creative and have amazing spatial reasoning ( i can interpret what people think so quick it's amazing ) but my ADD doesn't allow me to use my potential to it's best through language.

Also people of South Asian, Eastern European, Southeast Asian descent are more left-handed than any other ethnic groups in the world, while people of Western European, Northern European, and African descent are less left-handed..

Lefties in baseball, boxing, fencing, and tennis are extremely dominant and have upper advantages.

[tubeman]

Lefty checking in.

[SkyGuardian]

Lefty here. Stupid teachers in elementary forced me to write with my right hand because I kept bumping into people.

[racketteer]

Lefties in baseball, boxing, fencing, and tennis are extremely dominant and have upper advantages.

read my edit of post 3. this is really only due to changes in mechanics and expecations of other fighters/players.

also, the spatial reasoning thing is quite odd because i think the opposite applies to me. I'm gay and one of the most accepted theories currently has to do with brain structure and there being no right or left side dominance. I've been tested on spatial skills and did horrendously yet when i was tested on verbal and linguistic skills I tested off the charts and I have always been able to understand things much better through verbal cues and "sound" instead of visualisation.

Yes, being lazy is common for left-handed people, being lazy is what hinders lefties performance in school most of the time. Since many lefties are highly intelligent, they aren't truly noticed because of certain disadvantages.

[McKlown]

southpaw checkin in. one other downside i've heard is that lefties are more prone to addictions- something like 30% more likely to become alcoholics i think. these stats on left handedness are always interesting.

[hzx]

born lefty, switched or was forced to switch to righty. still counts, eh?

nope, how can someone force you to be right handed?

[CrazySlasher]

Lefty checking in.

Also, that feel when you have to always make sure you're seated properly at a dinner table.

[Mr.Serpent]

Left hander checking in.

Making orthodox fighters look silly since 2008 (semi-srs)

[monsterBEN]

Lefty checking in with self diagnosed mild ADD.

I do everything better left handed except throwing a frisbee and dunking (left footed jumper explains that)




I'll add more downsides:

Hard as fuk to find left handed golf gloves and baseball gloves sometimes. Also golf clubs.

Your are right-hand dominant if your write and pick up most things and use most things with your right hand.
About your latter question, the reason why southpaw is so advantageous is because 90% of the time, a person will fight you one style. It's obvious why lefties have such a advantage. Like i also said, Lefties usually have better visuospatial reasoning, they can anticipate your hits and movement quicker than you on average.

Yet, you use "righting" for "writing." You can't do simple sentences in a matter of seconds, eh?

[santideva]

nope, how can someone force you to be right handed?

school system, brah. right-handed desks and scissors, etc

[AuroraPsycho28]

- Mensa, the most intelligent society in the world, 20% of it's members are left-handed people. This is amazing considering the fact only 10% of the world's population is left-handed.

So 1/5th of the most intelligent society in the world is left handed?

Your posts are always so fukking stupid. I wish you'd just stop.

[oGSwepT]

Left handed woman.

That's extremely rare. Only around 1-3% of the world's population is left-handed women. What are you majoring or what is your job occupation if you don't mind me asking?
