You could be gay and not know it LOL!

The Legend:

"Dude, I can totally tell he's gay! Look at his fingers!"

This sounds like one of those playground urban myths that adolescent males use as an excuse to punch each other. Supposedly, comparing the size of your index and ring fingers can tell whether a guy is destined to one day make out with Sulu and Andy Dick in a poorly lit alley in Hollywood.

Yeah, right. Enough of your ignorant homophobia!

The Truth:
Incredibly, this is a real thing. It's called digit ratio theory and multiple studies have confirmed it.

Apparently if you have a longer ring finger, it means you got more testosterone as a fetus and are more likely to be hyperactive, aggressive and disgusted by anything featuring Hugh Grant.

A longer index finger, on the other hand, means more estrogen, making you more neurotic and sensitive. So if your index finger is way longer than your ring finger, you're like the gayest dude ever, right?

Actually, no. Studies found that it was when the two fingers were nearly the same length that the subjects were more likely to be gay (men and women both). Why? You'll have to ask the scientists, it's technical. What we do know is a study from Rutgers looking at finger lengths in lesbians even found a noticeable difference between the "butch" ladies who drive trucks and wear flannel and the more feminine lesbians who tend to populate your fantasies.

So... how far into this entry did you get before you stopped to look at your fingers?

OFFTOPIC WTF MOD DELETE PLZ

, I read about this awhile ago. I'm checking all hands of the dudes I date from now on.

OFFLINE

lol now I'm going to be examining everyone's hands.
Damn you Cari for bringing Scientific studies into this forum!

OFFLINE

My right hand is pretty even, but on my left my index finger is a bit longer.

Of my gay mannerisms, this one is slightly less concerning than my like of women with penises.

OFFLINE

So then if a lesbian has really fat fingers does that make her "well hung"? Just curious...

OFFLINE

This study only pertains to males.

I thought it said something about women too.

Although through my own research I have only found two possibilities why women turn gay: One being they are unattractive to men and two being most men suck in the bedroom.

OFFLINE

Hmm, didn't know that. A lot of men suck because they only care about themselves, or their women won't speak up and tell them what they like, or the guys are just really insecure.

OFFLINE

I know right!? I shouldn't have to feel like an air traffic controller!

one hand might be even, the other my ring finger is slightly longer i guess...kinda hard to tell. would explain my love of Cyndi Lauper and Lady GaGa.

OFFLINE

The hand on the right does look pretty fuckin' gay.
