anyone here ambidextrous?

I can type with both hands.
in highschool i slowly taught myself to write with my left hand in my blow off classes just to do it.Quote:

I tried becoming ambidextrous but didn't get far.
I'm all righty.
My off hand is purely for reloading
I can shoot a paintball gun amhidexterously. Theoretically I could swing a golf club, too.
In short: not in any useful way, no
I'm primarily a left handed fapper, can hit things pretty well with my left hand, and swing a baseball bat pretty well left handed.
Other than that, I'm a righty.
I play sports right handedly, but in every other way am left handed. Reading my right hand's handwriting is like looking at the scrawled requests for help from a Downs Syndrome child.
I jerk off with my left, but apart from that, and typing I'm right handed.
I thought I was the only one wolford! lol
I broke my right shoulder not long ago though so I did have to use my left for most things for a while so I guess I'm slightly better with my left than most.
I'm ambidextrous when using a knife and fork, but i'm sure that's probably the least interesting form.
I'm pretty much 100% right-handed, and when I try to throw with my left hand I seriously feel worthless.
I do certain odd things the left hand way naturally, such as tying knots, dealing cards and (most notably) smoking. Also shoot left handed with certain weapons.
I suppose I am more ambidextrous than most.
not me...Quote:

It is times like these where I start to have self-esteem.
I use my left hand for everything except writing.
I don't you think you know what "ambidextrous" means. Or you are at least not using the word in the same context of this thread.Quote:

I don't think anyone in this thread knows what ambidextrous means
"Ambidexterity is the state of being equally adept in the use of both right and left appendages (such as the hands). It is one of the most famous varieties of cross-dominance. People that are born ambidextrous are extremely rare."
I guess everyone in this thread is RARE!:dint:Quote:

i pretty much just wanna become ambidextrous to play lacrosse, cus using only one hand is a bitch in lacrosse
Who can't shoot a paintball gun with both hands? You kinda have to.Quote:

Kt I think the posts you have made in this thread have been some of the best posts you have ever made.
As for myself, I am thoroughly right handed in every aspect unless we go by Mr. E's standards.

Ambidexterity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I use to sometimes use the mouse with my right hand, but now I use it exclusively with my left hand.
Almost all lefties have to develop some degree of ambidexterity, since there are many things that are just made to be used in the right hand or many social customs that require use of the right hand, as this surgeon has rightfully stated.
For example, in India, when you eat with your hands you have to eat with your right hand exclusively and not have your left hand even touch your food. For this reason I can use my right hand alone to eat Indian food, but I still have to use my left hand when eating with a fork or chopsticks.
Another more mundane example cited in the Wikipedia article is can openers. I have to use my right hand with those. Likewise, with many pieces of equipment I use in my lab, the knobs are all jutting out to the right, requiring me to use my right hand to make rather fine adjustments.
Fine....

am⋅bi⋅dex⋅trous
/ˌæmbɪˈdɛkstrəs/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [am-bi-dek-struhs] Show IPA Pronunciation
–adjective
1. able to use both hands equally well: an ambidextrous surgeon.
Either way, the official definition says EQUALLY well, of course, my first source was Wikipedia, which is probably not the best source. I think to some people it has become acceptable to use the word ambidextrous for people who have one or more skills on their secondary hand, like a left handed person batting right handed in baseball.
This is NOT ambidextrous, ambidextrous is EQUAL in both hands, which is extremely rare. Alot of people are primary on one side and can do some things with the other hand.
Fun Fact: The word "ambilevous" is the literal opposite of "ambidextrous"

Somewhat. I have a cousin that can write with both hands simultaneously. It would be cool if she could write something different with both hands. It only proved to be useful writing lines in school.
Most players keep their right hand on the trigger and left hand on the grip. This is good if you're playing out of the right side of the bunker. If you play the left side, it's best to switch hands. Most amateurs either cannot do this, or cannot do it equivalently. I shoot 18 bps right handed and 16 bps lefthanded and I can snapshoot with both. I guess I cheat a little because I put my right hand on the feedneck when shooting lefty, but that's because it takes more weight off the trigger hand.Quote:

Can I be ambidextrous now?

I can, but not for very long. I have a condition that makes my equilibrium eternally fucked up (something to do with a permanent misalignment of grains of something in my inner ear, I don't really know), and while I've learned to live with it I'll never have perfect balance :(Quote:

For your edification regarding this phenomena, I have attached samples of my work.

I'm an ambidextrous smoker. I smoke left handed while driving, and right handed when I'm not. Isn't that interesting?
But do you smoke equally as well left and right handedly?
So you get the same amount of nicotine, do you mutate as many lung cells with the carcinogens etc etc and so on?
As a matter of fact, I do.Quote:

Back in the days of magazine pornography, I was right handed, but with the invention of the Internet came a new era of left handed fapping.
I smoke lefty as well, guess that's from passing to the left.Quote:

Haven't tried it since it healed though.
This thread might as well be titled things you can do with either hand but one hand sucks at it. An alternative title would be things any retard can do with either hand.

Left handed, but I play guitar, use the mouse and jerk off with my right hand. That count?
I have a pleasured a woman with my left hand. I punched her guts.
I am completely ambidextrous. My writing is neater with my left hand but I write quicker with my right hand so usually do that. I use cutlery in the left handed way. I play guitar right handed though. I fap with the left too. I can't think of anything else which would answer the question.
My left arm basically exists to fill my jacket's sleeve. I can't do anything with it. :(
this thread fucking sucks
I use my left-hand for a good deal, but I'm a righty when it comes down to it.
