It's true, look how pretty I am!

 

[smurfx]

wtf i'm sure to get cancer. my stupid finger is about 1/4 inch longer than my index finger. only lady i will be getting is lady cancer.

It's true, look how pretty I am!

The ring-index finger ratio has also proven to be a useful indicator for gauging the risk of prostate cancer, likewise tied to high levels of testosterone.

 

[Spat_triate]

My index finger on my left hand (left handed) is actually quite a bit longer than my ring finger. Apparently i'm not man enough.

 

[Dead Prince]

so you guys look at the finger when it's like that in the air or do you lay it flat on a table or something? my fingers instantly bend if i try to force it straight and it looks equal. so i have to find out the length on a flat surface.

 

[Z_Y]

I was feeling good until that blurb about prostate cancer. Fuck.

 

[hateradio]

So gay guys aren't attractive to women? That's cool.

 

[Droplet]

Ahahaha there's so many studies related to this it's not even funny. My fourth finger is like a cm shorter than my index finger and I only found out recently it's not normal.

Hopefully the science here works in reverse.

 

[AceBandage]

Huh, apparently I have girly fingers...

 

[Ferga]

about 2mm for me

2D:4D is inversely correlated with prenatal androgens. So if that's true, it sort of makes sense why women would prefer men that had higher androgen levels.

I love the wikipedia article on this, especially how it lists 30 things and switches back and forth between correlation and inverse correlation without specifying.

Hands may say more about their owners than commonly thought, especially in the case of men.

Men whose index fingers are shorter than their ring fingers may have longer penises, according to a South Korean study published in the Asian Journal of Andrology.

"According to our data ... the shorter index (second) finger than ring (fourth) finger you have, the longer stretched penile length you have," wrote Tae Beom Kim at the urology department of Gachon University Gil Hospital in Incheon, South Korea, in reply to questions from Reuters.

Previous studies have shown strong evidence that prenatal testosterone may determine finger development as well as penile length, a relationship that Kim and his colleagues launched a study to focus on.

The study involved 144 men suffering from urological problems that did not affect the length of their penis, which was measured under anesthesia.

The measurements were later compared to the difference in length between their second and fourth fingers on the right hand. Previous studies have shown that the right hand may be more sensitive to the influence of testosterone.

The so-called "digit ratio" in this study refers to the length of the index finger divided by the length of the ring finger. The lower the ratio, the study suggests, the longer the penis may be.

The findings offered "circumstantial evidence that prenatal testosterone is responsible for both traits (penile length and digit formation,)" said Denise McQuade at Skidmore College in New York, who was not involved in the study.

"Digit ratio is non-invasive and easy to measure, yet may provide clues about an individual's prenatal history. Thus, combined with other information, digit ratio offers the potential for clinical usefulness," wrote McQuade in an email reply to questions from Reuters.

Female index and ring fingers tend to be about the same length, she added.

A study last year said that men with long index fingers have a lower risk of prostate cancer.

Researchers at Britain's Warwick University and the Institute of Cancer Researcher found that men whose index finger is longer than their ring finger were one-third less likely to develop the disease than men with the opposite pattern of finger length.

[btkadams]

I wonder if SK requires a consent form for that procedure...Hell, does the US? Can surgical teams play around with my body parts while I'm under if they get bored?

 

[HAL_Laboratory]

Yep, it's true guys.

 

[Al-ibn Kermit]

This reminds me of the belief in middle/high school that the size of your outstretched hand determines your penis size. My own surveys disagreed with that though.

 

[Rocket Punch]

I'm a macho gay, apparently. Hawt.

Come at me bros!

Just saying...

 

[AbsoluteZero]

This is bullshit. My ring finger is longer than my index finger and I'm ugly as fuck.

 

[Akuun]

*looks at hand* damn.

They're about the same length.

 

[Koodo]

Doesn't hold up for me, and I'm kinda glad in a way because I wouldn't want the second last sentence to be true either.

They should try to identify signs of a girthy man though. Help me find a thick salami scientists!

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

South Korean study. LOL. Day gots small dicks.

 

[geeko]

Excellent, by this logic, women find me attractive. Excellent....

 

[overcast]

Ring finer is just barely longer. This explains my loneliness!

 

[Drewsky]

Yep, it's true guys.

You have very ladylike hands.

 

[Papercuts]

My left hand has a smaller ring finger, my right has a bigger. Wat.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Great, now I can't stop staring at my hands.

 

[Poyunch]

Ensue ugly hand discussion.

The terrible thing I discovered is my right index finger is shorter than my left's. :S

 

[antiloop]

A finger nail longer, so I am good. I like, because guys are so not my type.

[Verano]

wooo! my ring finger is longer than my index...
Im a macho muchacho compared to all you wimps!

 

[Orayn]

Hmm... Not particularly manly... Metrosexual I guess?

 

[Londa]

Is it wrong for me to want to see certain users hands now? Lol

 

[Flek]

[Bradlums]

I call BS. My ring finger is considerably longer and I'm pretty ugly.

 

[gwarm01]

Finally.. validation!

Dude, those are hideous

 

[SpacLock]

My ring finger is like half an inch longer than my index. Chicks love me.

 

[Orayn]

Dude, those are hideous

Metrosexuals, or the horrifying tentacles attached to my hand that I call "fingers?"

[RatskyWatsky]

Index finger a little longer than ring finger on both hands. What does that mean? Do I get a prize?

Spoiler

the prize is a small penis....youarealreadydead.jpg

 

[beril]

According to this I seem to be gay in one hand, but straight in the other.

You're clearly bisexual.

My fingers are about the same length, and I'm gay (and ugly) so it must be true!

 

[diddles]

you ladies ready for a real man?

Spoiler

with dirty fingernails

 

[xbhaskarx]

Your thumb looks like it's barely attached to the rest of your hand...

 

[Souldriver]

Lol, if you forget the context of this thread, it looks like you've entered some weird fetish thread.

 

[Ranger X]

Wow ok, another bogus study
I have a long ringfinger compared to my index and believe, I'm near the last guy they would want it seems. I scored an incredible ONE serious girlfriend in 32 years of existence! (still with her right now -- thank goodness)
