"If your ring finger is longer than your index finger, you’re more likely to be gay."

 

Mine is!

Mine is too and gay I am!!!!!! More important my penis is longer then my ring finger and index finger combined. That means I am a happy gay.

Let the buyer beware; seems to me like they confused causation for correlation... Just my $0.02

Mine is!

 

That's interesting. The ratio of ring to index finger length is correlated with testosterone levels.

Those with more X are more likely to be Y describes correlation.

My ring finger is longer! I will no longer be confused about my sexuality. I have scientific evidence that I am gay. YAY!

OMG! I never looked at them before, but my ring finger IS noticeably longer than my index finger. That must mean......

[BasketBaller]

Hmm, my index finger and ring finger are the same length. I've been sexually active with both men and women.

 

Coincidence?

Very interesting! Left hand - ring finger longer; right hand - ring finger shorter.

[+ Reisr30]

Ring finger in both hands is slightly longer than index finger for me. Guess that makes sense...

[+ Charlie]

Very interesting! Left hand - ring finger longer; right hand - ring finger shorter.

I guess that makes you bi-sexual.

So does this mean we need to insist on providers to send five finger selfie with so we can dertermine if gay or straight?

Also to figure out how testosterone-laden and manly he is.

There used to be a show called "Love American Style". It was PG. I remember one segment a woman heard that you could tell the size of a man's penis by looking at his toes. She tried without success to get him barefoot. Ultimately she realized one could tell by looking at his fingers.

[TruthBTold]

I based it on the fact that I really love to suck cock, fuck other men's butt, and kiss men. I thought this was pretty good scientific evidence.

[+ tassojunior]

+1 here too. Proof enough.

This is not a new observation. Several years ago some studies established that 65% to 70% of self-identified gay males had index fingers the same length as their ring fingers (as do straight women). Most straight men have shorter index fingers (as do most lesbians).

 

If I recall the articles correctly, the structural differences between male and female brains appear in the fetal brain are around weeks 10-12 which, by amazing coincidence, is also the time at which the relative finger length is set.

 

At that time there were a number of guesses as to what might account for all this but not much in the way of clear evidence.

 

ps My index finger is of the long variety too.
