Why do guys have such messy handwriting?

158 viewsOther

I’m gonna say from ages 8 to 18 for the sake of fairness here. I understand girls improving faster at first, but even in high school I remember so many guys who could not write legibly all the way through high school. Why is that and is there a way thing could be countered properly? I feel like if the answer was “practice” then 10 years of writing essays in school should do the trick.

Untrue. I’m a teacher, I teach adults, mostly men (specifics of the government institution I work at), and I have seen women with handwritings I can’t even read, and guys or men of all ages with extremely intricate and nice handwritings. I have seen both in both genders, all ages, different upbringings…. It’s not about practice. It’s that some people see “pretty” as a good thing, and some don’t. It’s more about the attitude. same as what is clean to one person is messy to another, based on their attitude and priorities. Young guys don’t care about handwriting as they don’t understand that other people need to be able to read what they write if they want to communicate. To them “no cap frfr” is communication. What do you expect from such a person? And at the same time I know 23 year olds with extremely nice handwritings who also have the attitude of caring, doing their job well, etc.
