    So apparently there's a theory where if your ring finger is longer than your index finger, than you have more testosterone as a fetus... While if your index finger is longer than your ring finger means more estrogen, though...
    More testosterone means... well aggressiveness and all that stuff.
    Estrogen means more sensitive and other things...

    Now this part is where you will start looking at your hand and ask yourselves if this theory is true:
    If these two fingers are of equal/near same length, then... you are most likely to be gay

    What was your result?

    Note: Feel free to read this for your own amusement:

    It appears our fingers may have more to them than... what they already do? hehe :grin:
    My result: Err my index finger was longer... Size difference between the two fingers: Well... actually there was like 0.5 cm difference in length- Not quite sure.. :confused:

    I never heard the testosterone thing, but then again, that was in high school biology, which was a while ago. We were just told that most boys had their ring finger longer than their index finger.

    My ring fingers are definitely longer than both of my index fingers, and I'm pretty gay :slight_smile:

    I've seen this here a few times already but it's rather cool anyhow.
    I have very lesbian/guy-y fingers...
