It depends on what I'm doing, how pressed for time I am, my mood, the pen, and other stuff. Ranges from fairly neat/above average to a sort of tentacled calamity given form in ink and bound to the page.

My handwriting is very legible, but pretty much everyone tells me it also looks really bad -.-.

I write like a 12 year old. It's pretty much embarrassing.

The poll results are hilarious. Mathematically speaking, we can't have 70% below average!

It's not a random sample.

And add me to the atrocious pile.
Wait, maybe I've worded that poorly...

There should be an option for exceedingly below average.

Where is the option: "totally abysmal"?
My handwritting is actually kind of ugly but I'd say only somewhat below average. However, I know tons of people who have a handwritting that you could only decipher if you have a degree in cryptography. If I ever need to copy something for my engineering studies the only chance of getting legible papers is to ask one of the few girls amongst us, since the stuff of all guys seems like they've been writting it with their left foot while trying to juggle balls with their hands.

My "proper" handwriting is very neat and legible, some of my friends say it's "girl" handwriting.

Though on the other hand, when I'm furiously jotting down my thoughts, I don't even heed the lines on the page. No one else can read it... sometimes not even me

People say I write like a type writer, I always type in all caps and small but very neat, almost OCD-like. I am always asked to write for them so that it will look good at work and such. Been writing the same way since like 4th grade.

Always get compliments on my handwriting, "esp for a guy". Then I get them in bed. It's like a one-two combo.

Mine used to be horrible chicken scratch, but during my 2nd year of college I finally got sick of looking at it. I picked a cool semi-caligraphy style font out online and forced myself to copy it until I could write it proficiently. It took about 2 weeks to get decent and after about a month I couldn't write in my old handwriting anymore.

My handwriting is very neat. Everyone that's seen my handwriting says it's 100% readable and similar to Calibri text. I hold the pencil with all my fingertips/thumb touching just below the pencil tip which make writing really accurate but I haven't seen or known anyone who writes this way...wondering who taught me to write this way xD

If I made this into a survey and walked around town asking random people, I would probably get a lot of averages, and above averages when I get girls to vote.

TL.net is full of guys who spend more time typing than writing. What can you expect from a sample like this?

My handwriting is absolutely horrid.

I don't let that bother me however, as I almost exclusively type on a keyboard. I probably pick up a pen and write maybe once a year, tops.
