I've heard something about this...

correct me if I'm wrong, but published in a medical journal, people whose ring finger and index are the same length are more likely to be gay...

mine are different...
 
almost exactly the same for me.

edit: doing a little polling to see how much/little testosterone we were exposed to in utero?

edit 2: would have been helpful to have a "same" option in the mix of your poll. <shrugs>
 
Well this is random, but mine are nearly the same size. my index is like 1/4" longer.
PS I am straight as far as I know.
 
On my left hand, my ring finger is longer than my pinkie. On my right hand, it's the opposite.

My left hand has slightly longer fingers than my right hand. (it's from the years of violin)
You should see my friend's hand.. she's played the cello for ~13 years, and her left hand is about 1/2 cm longer! It's a little creepy.. :p

Don't know about the 'gay' thing, sounds like an urban legend. I ask because I'm told it's to do with hormone levels.

Anyway, I posted it as a poll so the answers could be anonymous. So please vote.

care to explain or expand on the hormone idea?

higher levels of testosterone in utero = longer ring finger

My ring finger is longer than my pointer. Does that mean more testosterone? Because I'm kind of a tomboy. ..And I am a lesbian.

Interesting, my ring finger is longer, so I guess I'm just better looking than the rest of the population. or something like that :confused: :D

off topic, but I liked your old 'tar better ;)

Same here. We're ring finger twins. :D

the poll misses an "Equal length" option and fails to specify which hand to use.
 
My ring finger is over 1/2" longer than my index finger. It's almost as long as my middle finger. (less than 1/4" shorter)

Which one? Daria or Bubble Tea?

This one is just kind of temporary anyway. It's just my crabby attempt at humour. ;)

Daria!!! I thought it gave you a great personality, could always pic you out, thought your posts were above average on the interesting meter. now I've got to look out for an otter...:p

By the way, I am the lone male with shorter index finger than ring finger... I feel like a celebrity
 
I hope no one takes these tests seriously, like I said before, there's been nothing definate on the studies of such, its mostly urban legend that it has something to do with gender or sexual orientation or even hormonal levels.

I'm a chick and my ring finger's shorter. I'm also bi, femme and not to mention trans. So I guess I ****ed that one up good. :)
