Why, when holding hands, do fellas catch from the front and girls from behind?

typically the male of the adult is the dominant one in the equasion.

example... when you reach out to a dog that you haven't met, if you're palm is up, they read that as your submission to them, your palm down and you're indicating your dominance over them.

Same goes with roylaty, the Queen would extend her hand palm down to you (if it were extended to you).

these are old embeded roles (at least to my awareness)... not saying it's right or wrong, just a take on it.

It's the leader thing. He's the alpha, girl is the beta. When you take a child's hand, you take it as the alpha and take it at the front whether your a male or female.

nicely, i think of Horny1 beat me so a good distance, yet once you seem something like your avatar... i may well be freaked out and kick you. whether, putting seems aside, i might nonetheless be freaked and fully caught off shield, which isn't inevitably a bad factor. Ha!

Its so the person behind feels more protected by the one in front...

Well that's how i think any way.

men hold from the front because its a sign of superiority, its not done intentionally, but it just happens.

oh wow i never noticed tht but tis true thnx

this is becuase the men think they rule but its actually the females that do

I AGREE WITH WHAT "BUTTONS" SAID!
