That's some Sherlock Holmes stuff right there, to me at least.
- soneca 7y agoI assumed the whole photo would show the woman holding the bag in the right hand
- tempestn 7y agoYou can tell something is being held in the right hand from just this part.
- amelius 7y agoWhy does that make a person right-handed? Holding something in your non-dominant hand keeps your dominant hand free for things that require more dexterity.
- tempestn 7y agoAgreed. I don't think it does demonstrate right-handedness.
- ricardobeat 7y agoUnless you're carrying rocks in it, holding a purse will not pull your shoulder down. They are saying the slump indicates the dominant side and not the effect of weight.
- tempestn 7y agoAre you sure that's accurate? I think carrying an average weight purse would cause some amount of droop on that side.
- mohn 7y agoI assume that conclusion is drawn because of how much lower the right shoulder is. A physical therapist told me that the shoulder of the dominant hand tends to be a bit lower. It's probably not common knowledge, but patternmakers and tailors would come across it in their line of work.
