Last week I attended a presentation at which the speaker suggested left-handed men "think like women."
For example, (this presenter had a doctorate in educational psychology) a right-handed man would answer the question, "How was your day?" by saying "Fine." A left-handed man might say, "But first, tell me "¦ how was your day? And he'd listen with interested attentiveness.
My unmarried, urban-dwelling daughter happens to be a 'lefty'. I told her about this and she immediately text-messaged a new male acquaintance (who's about to get a master's degree in psychology) asking about his handedness — and his thoughts on this topic. |

This fellow turned out to be a right-hander (I could tell she was disappointed), but he had some fascinating observations. He said left-handedness denotes creativity and intelligence — an ability to multitask. (Even if he's not a lefty, he knew she was one ... so he still gets points).
I wanted to know more. Male left-handers (based on a Johns Hopkins University study) who have attended college are 15 percent richer throughout their lifetime — they're 26 percent richer if they graduated from college. They're notably better at many types of sports — some are quite famous. |
