Title: Testosterone and Fingers
Post by: Sandman on April 19, 2006, 11:12:59 AM
I was reading this BBC article (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4921690.stm) about how attractive women can make men indecisive and there was a line in it that caught my attention because it just sounds like bull****.

The men's testosterone levels were also tested - by comparing the length of the men's index finger compared to their ring finger.

If the ring finger is longest, it indicates a high testosterone level.

The researchers found that men in the study who had the highest levels performed worst in the test, and suggest that is because they are particularly sensitive to sexual images.


So... I did a quick google for "ring index finger testosterone" (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ring+index+finger+testosterone) and found 236,000 results.

My ring finger is 13% longer then my index finger.  The top soccer player from the last link has a 17% longer finger.

I'm willing to bet that Natty measured and is afraid to show his results.

I personally don't really care, I just had a metric ruler handy.

Not really - they are the exact same length and yet I'm aggressive in the sports I play (basketball and hockey).

Hmm, so it is.  Only 2 or 3 mm's, but it is definately longer.

Mine is a good half inch longer.  That explains my huge noodle and hairy back.

I read about this before but at the time it related to women, as in women whose ring fingers are longer than their index finger are more likely to be lesbian, presumably because they had been exposed to more testosterone in the womb. I know at least one butch lesbian who qualifies. She's a motorcycle cop too.  Take a look at your wife or girlfriend's fingers if you dare!

Looking at my hands, palms facing away my ring fingers look longer but with the palms facing in, both seem the same length. Anyone else notice that? But when I get the measuring tape out my left hand the index finger is slightly longer. On the other hand the ring finger is longer?

Does that mean I'm well balanced:lol

Testosterone doesn't affect sexual orientation, it does however affect sex drive. If your woman never seems to want to make bacon, it could be that she has a testosterone deficiency.

My girlfriend thinks that long fingers on a man mean a long.... member.. Fortunately I have long fingers and she has had a lot of men with, apparently.... small.... members.  

She is mexican and has small hands also.... allways get a girlfriend with small hands... it makes you look... larger..

Now she will see this study... unbelievably..... my ring fingers are quite long even for my hands.

I think that the study is correct about (real) men not being able to make decisions around women...  That is why men up until recently knew that women should not be on ships or vote or fight in wars.  

This was before all you metrosexuals took over of course.
