finger length and sexual orientation

Aeryn · Post by **Aeryn** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 7:04 pm

Ihave always noticed that my index finger (2D) is longer than my ring finger (4D). In most men they are either equal or the ring finger is longer than the index finger. The study at the link below has linked finger length to sexual orientation. It has to do with androgen levels in the fetus.

So my question is, how many of us have index fingers that are longer than our ring fingers? Just a curious, informal "study". :-)

The index is the pointer right? the one next to the thumb?
It is slightly shorter than my ring finger. I am heterosexual

Hi all,

My ring fingers are longer than my index fingers. Hetero, I guess.

Then again, my thumbs are longer than my pinkies.

Love,
CJ

What about GG's? My index fingers are longer than my ring fingers. What about toes? I have a very strange thing going with them ##oo##

To all digits,

The ring finger is normally longer than the index. The other is extremely rare and I don't believe it has anything to do with sex, gender, intelligence, lovability, or taste in clothes.

I think I must be digitally challenged, esp. in the toe department

My index is about 1cm. longer than my ring finger, and I'm bi. Not that I buy into this crap.

The ratio of my 2D:4D < 1.00, therefore I am a 24/7 hetero CDer. -- or is that because my 2nd toes are longer than my big toes?

I'm not sure if it's indicative of anything or not, but my right hand index finger is about a centimetre longer than the ring finger and on my left hand the index finger is about half a centmetre longer than the corresponding ring finger.

I've previously questioned the relevant people over the years about the indications this may mean regarding female v male and the opinions vary according to who you speak to in the medical science world.

Sometimes we have to be wary of these types of studies due to the small numbers of people being studied and also sometimes the people conducting the study may sometimes lean towards those results which put a positive spin on their objectives.

Here's another take on what some people think.

On both hands ring finger some what longer than my index finger so well it can't be 100% correct can it. The study that is. Gee
