Hey, a relationship is all about balance. So, put your right hand out there and grab a leftie and make him your boyfriend.
1. They Have Hotter relationships
Does right vs. left matter? Oh, you bet. According to a recent survey,
86 percent of left-handed people reported they were “Extremely
Satisfied” with their partners. Only 15 percent of righties could say
the same. That’s a chance everyone should take.
2. They’re Leaders
Your lefty lover is in good hands. Four of the last seven presidents
were left-handed: President Obama, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and
Gerald Ford. And the original designers of the Mac? Four out of five
were lefties. And left-handed ladies are in great company, too. Marilyn
Monroe, the original s*x symbol, was a lefty. Yes, we’re giving you have
permission to compare your significant other to Obama or Marilyn.
3. They’re Geniuses
They’re not just smart in the bedroom. In fact, 20 percent of all Mensa
members are left-handed. The theory is that lefties are forced to use
both sides of their brain more often. Some brilliant left-handers you
may know? Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin. A St.
Lawrence University study found that more left-handed people had IQs
over 140 than their right-handed counterparts.
4. They’re Rare
Only 10-15 percent of the world is left-handed, so you’re getting a
one-of-a-kind. While they are the minority, it doesn’t mean these gems
are going extinct anytime soon. In fact, University of Montpellier
researcher Charlotte Faurie explains that lefties are champs when it
comes to survival of the fittest, “The fact that left-handers are less
common means they have a surprise effect.” And good news for single gals
looking for a lefty to love, males are twice as likely to be
left-handed than females. Go get ’em. (This club is a good place to
start)
5. They Can Support Themselves
No, money can’t buy you love, but — cha-ching! — lefties aren’t doing so
bad out there. Left-handed fellas are 15 percent more likely to be
richer than a right-handed man. And for those who went to college —
they’re 26 percent richer. A man or woman who can support themselves?
Priceless.
6. They Can Actually Multitask
As I write this, I’m listening to music, watching a video in the corner
of my screen on mute, chatting on Skype and sipping coffee. However, I’m
a righty, so this is a complete disaster. We all try to multitask but
that doesn’t mean we’re all good at it. Lefties, on the other hand
(literally), are amazing at doing several things at once. The theory?
Being left-handed forces your brain to think more quickly. So they have
an easier time sorting through unorganized information. Another study
proved that because lefties could handle large amounts of stimuli,
they’re better at playing video games. Years down the road when you’re
juggling children, a full-time job and trying to get dinner on the
table, your partner has no excuses not to lend a helping hand — or go
head-to-head with you for a video game challenge.
7. They’re Creative
Left-handers aren’t just brainiacs, they’re artistic, innovative
thinkers too. Since lefties rely on the right side of their brains more,
which is used for activities needing imagination, emotions and
creativity, they’re said to be better at music, art and language.
Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo? Both left-handed dudes.
And, according to research published in the American Journal of
Psychology, left-handed people are divergent thinkers, meaning they
generate ideas that explore many possible solutions. Their talents don’t
only exist within their jobs. Chances are, your creative guy or gal
will bring some of their imagination into the relationship too.
