Is there such a thing as "women's" and "men's" handwriting?

[debbiedenise]

I was talking with some friends and they bought up the idea that men and women write differently? Is there any truth to this?

Yes

No

Many times, but not always.

To a degree, yes. Girls are certainly encouraged to have better, more legible handwriting than boys in school. And that undoubtedly influences people if you do it from a young age. But good or bad handwriting is not necessarily limited to specific sexes.

[NathanDavis]

not really, no...

I've been a tutor for many years, college aged and adults too, even seniors... and it is about the person, not the gender

however, yes... there's a slight tendency for women to be more more neat with their hand writing... and for the men's to be more like "fuck it..." lmao

I would not say though that there's enough to just be able to tell who wrote what, at least not in my experience

[TadCurious]

I believe that approximately 7 - 8 times out of 10 I can look at someone's handwriting and tell whether it's from a man or woman.

[RageBabe]

No, it's not true; I write more like my father than my mother.

[pascal_climbs]

Yes, I can see if its a female or male. More than 90% correct.

[JestAJester]

I'd say generally yes. Men's handwriting tends to be more simple whereas women's are more stylized. My sister and mom for example could do calligraphy art if they wanted, whereas mines just a step above chicken scratch

[jahaims]

On average i would say a female has better hand writing

I don't know, but my handwriting is terrible

[Jennz6]

I can definitely 💯 tell the difference
