     Hello miss, I’m sure YOU know, because your feminine eyes recognize your sisters’ handiwork but I’d like to point out here, for the somewhat…..eclectic boys in the treehouse that this card was not made by male hands, but is likely a false flag of her own creation.

     At MOST that little note scrawl appears somewhat male in writing, but the front cover doesn’t have the hallmarks of a man’s writing or style at all. At most this is something she got from a very effeminate emo boy in 2005 (high school) and she added some cutesy decor to really “improve” the bit

     This isn’t male, if it was a guy he’s very estrogeneous and borderline gay. When men do block type they have very poor spacing, the ‘pace’ is consistent and even in the first word or two but as they approach the right margin they get scrunched because they don’t plan it out

     the smaller text is feminine, the rounded, bubbly/bouncy nature and the way the strokes connect is decidedly non-male. Guys don’t make their D’s that way, they optimize stroke count to be efficient over legible and cute

     The interior I can believe, the writing looks more male, the contents seem less silly, but this cover doesn’t pass muster to me unless the guy is heinously gay and no older than 23 yo

     kind of. It’s a combo of psychology, impatience, fine motor control, musculature, etc. That’s why guys tend to have similar stuff though. Graphology is “debunked” but some elements hold true

     Nah. Good male handwriting looks like the constitution/DoI. But no guy puts hearts in his handwriting.

     See, I couldn’t zoom enough to see that. Boys do one-stroke hearts, girls do two so theirs are more symmetrical and ‘hearty’. Guys are often vertical and oblong in comparison.

     A lot of it just comes down to the patient, vertical, rounded arcs girls use in writing. Those just don’t come naturally. Look at a guy test a pen to see if it works, non-artisans will quickly do sawteeth, while girls will do leisurely loops like clouds

     depends on how much training they got, but that’s one of those habits they train out of you when you work w/ illustration, drafting, etc. You do ‘stretches’ or pen exercises before you start working to get your muscles ready for work. They break you out of your habits and proclivities.

     Also nerds who work with writing utensils, you tend to develop habits around your tools, so guys accustomed to using crappy stuff that’s really stingy on ink flow probably end up being the types that leave tears in the paper or something, if I guessed.

     I won’t tell you much off of that, the lines have blurred a LOT since the olden days when “men were men and women were women”. That’s why I’ve been saying the above could be the work of a broken, estrogeneous ‘man’.

     It is a little bit of personality, a little bit of how good your fine motor control is. I’ve noticed some kids are just developmentally “off”, and when they have a hard time cleaning up their writing strokes they have some funky nerve thing or were born a month or two premature. Only asked a couple times but hearing “yeah, how’d you know” is a little noteworthy.

     If you want to write like a girl you need to think about style, layout, put the way others will perceive your writing above all else. That’s why they’ll spend extra time putting the hearts over a lowercase ‘i’ and waste 3 strokes to make a small ‘w’ - they want others to look at it and think “oh cute”

     Guys are a world in their own mind, we don’t think about how it’ll look, we want to finish writing down the info as fast as we can so we can get back to doing whatever we were before we had to write.

     they help a lot when you’re trying to break out of your routine. Then again I only did my stuff in physical media, IDK what’s up w/ digital, I don’t think any of it really applies all that much

     I care a lot about style, but for purely autistic reasons. I am a typography snob and refuse to have anything to do with colored text. I refuse to use unlined paper and always pre-ruke it.

     You’re missing out. I’ve always liked pure, unlined paper. It’s a challenge, you have to keep things straight and neat all on your own, with nothing to impede the additions of sketches & diagrams. It’s a good feeling when you finish a good, clean, handsome page on standard copy paper
