Finger length is influenced by Testosterone exposure while in the mother’s womb, according to scientists - specifically, the ratio between the length of your index finger vs. your ring finger (second vs fourth finger).
Higher levels of testosterone in the womb lead to a shorter index finger in comparison with the length of the ring finger. That is, your index finger is smaller than your ring finger. The reverse is true - lower than normal concentrations of testosterone in the womb lead to longer index fingers.
Individuals whose index finger is as long, or longer, than their ring finger, tend to hard sciences (math, physics, chemistry…). Individuals whose index finger is shorter than their ring finger tend to social sciences and sports.
Researchers noticed male scientists tended to have not only index fingers which were equal/longer in comparison to their ring fingers - a trait usually atributed mostly to females - but their estrogen and testosterone levels often mirrored those found in their female counterparts as well.
Individuals with shorter index fingers vs their ring fingers tend to be boisterous and more agressive.
A mention was also made to the significantly lower likelihood of males with longer index fingers to produce offspring. Newton, for example was a perfect example - at old age he bragged he was still a virgin.
Lower testosterone levels in the womb apparently allow for better development of the right side of the brain which is involved in math. This lends the individual to a higher aptitude for the hard sciences which the individual tends to follow.
I looked at my hands and obviously was very happy to see my index finger was so much shorter than my ring finger. Then I read again, and realized the ring finger is the 4th, not the 3rd finger.
My index is longer than my ring finger.
Does this bother me? Fuck no.
At 208 lbs and 9.5% body fat I can hardly be called a wimp.
It needs to be noted, this is a correlation relationship - not a causation one.
A last question, and I think a very good one is:
If you take the estrogenic compounds found in seemingly every food, plastic containers, and possibly even the very air you breathe (due to pesticides and sevreal air pollutants), should we be concerned not just with the effect these will have on you in the short and long term - but most importantly what effect these will have on your offspring as they develop in an over-abundance of estrogen while in the womb?
Articles can be found online, and the issue has been reported on Fox News, so you can look up both.

Actually, the the length of your wang has nothing to do with the correlation between the index and ring finger. The length can be correlated by the length of the middle finger from tip to wrist.
The longer the length - the bigger your wang. No shit…

No but unless you post a picture with a valid id beside it we are not going to believe it.
I’d be happy to do so, except for two things. First, a vast majority of the people who read this thread would go “OH MY GOD, I DIDN’t need to see THAT!” Second, the mods wouldn’t let it through anyway.
Also, I’m sure there are bigger guys here than me. I’m not huge.
Finally, not matter what, it really IS how you use it that counts. A well-hung clutz isn’t going to blow a woman’s mind like a slightly under-sized guy who knows how to take a woman to Nirvana repeatedly.
I always thought everyone had ring fingers the same length as their middle finger… Till I stumbled over an advert in a magazine of some guys hand. I read around, and saw a report (Ring Finger - Catalyst) that said
‘So a difference of 81 millimetres to 69 millimetres this is a phenomenal difference. Indicating high testosterone before birth. Low oestrogen is what this hand is saying. Well you find that kind of ratio quite commonly in football players.’
So I measured mine, and I have a difference of 20mm… Also something strange about my fingers, my middle finger (both hands) are sort of twisted at the end - if you look straight down them they both veer quite drastically away from my thumb. Always thought it was because of writing, but its the other hand too meh

So, when a woman meets a guy who is both ‘big’ and knows how to use it, a) she’s in heaven, b) there’s nothing she can say.
Would it be awful if jerks had both and it explained why they get all the action??? I guess not, but they do seem to have that ‘punch the right instinctual buttons’ instinct which probably covers any, pardon the pun, shortcomings.
