Good luck finding your mate only 1 out of 10 Americans are lefties.

I found some interesting facts about lefties:

Around ten percent of Americans are left-handed, and of those, there are twice as many lefty males as females. Cats and parrots have general tendencies toward their left paws and claw; rats and monkeys tend to be right-pawed. A study of ultrasound pictures of 270 fetuses (from 1 month to 9 months) revealed that 92% sucked their right thumb while in the womb.

What does left-handedness mean, practically speaking? Medical literature reports that lefties more accident prone, are more likely to have their fingers amputated by power-tools, suffer more wrist fractures. Lefties are more susceptible to allergies, auto-immune diseases, bed-wetting, depression, drug abuse, epilepsy, hypnotism, low birth weight, schizophrenia, sleeping disorders, suicide attempts, and certain learning disabilities. Lefties are six times likelier to die in an accident, and four times to likelier to die while driving.

oh no!! so not only are less then 10% of men left handed, but then he's gotta evade that whole list of problems, including not committing suicide, dying in a freak accident or in a car accident!! im never gonna find my lefty... in fact its a wonder there are any left-handed men left on this earth!! lol jk :-D

My mama was one of those lefties who was forced to become right-handed in school, with the attending problems. So, when I started showing signs of being left-handed before I was one year old, she started switching me then. I'm considered right-handed, but I do a LOT of things left-handed, such as play softball and most other sports (I was going to say soccer, but I'm left-legged in that). I'm ambi-dextrious for the most part, but in a way, I'm glad I was switched. It's a right-handed world.
