So, you guys know how they say if your ring finger is longer than your index finger your gay.

Does this apply to you?

It does to me :P Both of my ring fingers are longer than both of my index fingers! haha!

LornTehViking · 24th Mar 2009, 05:35 PM

Mine are longer.

However I thought was index longer for guys, ring longer for girls.
As in ring finger long = more testosterone, and vice versa.

I could be wrong though.

Cheria · 24th Mar 2009, 05:35 PM

Mine certainly are.

2D:4D is sexually dimorphic: in men, the second digit tends to be shorter than the fourth, and in females the second tends to be the same size or slightly longer than the fourth. This trait may be better described as 'sexually differentiated' rather than 'sexually dimorphic' in recognition of the fact that the effect size is fairly small (2D:4D distributions of the two sexes overlap to a great degree), especially as compared to other sexually dimorphic traits such as height.

My ring finger is longer than my pointer.
I must be a gay!

**Maddy** · 24th Mar 2009, 06:38 PM

My ring finger and pointer finger are pretty much exactly the same, I can't tell a difference.

RainbowJay · 24th Mar 2009, 07:18 PM

it's weird...
on one hand, the ring finger is longer than the index, on the other hand, it's the complete opposite

ahhh, my fingers are disproportional to the corresponding fingers

KatzInHatz · 24th Mar 2009, 07:21 PM

My ring finger is longer then my index finger~!~! ^.^

epiphanies · 24th Mar 2009, 07:25 PM

My ring fingers are longer!

thebikelady · 24th Mar 2009, 08:18 PM

My ring fingers are quite a bit longer.

otc877 · 24th Mar 2009, 08:30 PM

In men, if your ring finger is longer than your index(pointer) finger, than you're normal. In women, if your ring and pointer fingers are equal length, then you're normal.

If it's the opposite that's when it starts to predict being gay.

In gay women, it's said that their ring finger is longer than their pointer, and in gay men they're supposed to have equal length fingers.

It has something to do with testosterone in the womb. In that if there is more testosterone (normal in male pregnancies) than the ring finger will be longer.

techie01 · 24th Mar 2009, 08:43 PM

littleninja · 24th Mar 2009, 10:24 PM

Ring finger is longer on the left hand, and equal on the right.

Though technically I am bisexual (don't tell my mom, it will give her hope).

I'll have to consult my palmistry bible.

Greggers · 24th Mar 2009, 10:38 PM

Mine are EXACTLLY the same (maybe slightly off, but not to the naked eye)
