K, so two posts in one day is a bad way to be on hiatus. In my defense, my computer was off, and I was not even thinking about it, was being a good little girl and... watching t.v. But hubby turned on this show called MANswers on Spike channel. Maybe you've heard of it. Among other precious little tidbits of information, I learned that the horniest animal on the planet is the pygmy bonobo(sp?) chimpanzee who can do it 50 times in an hour, LOL, and restaurant heat lamps can cure hemorrhoids.



So, anyway, here's my predicament. Apparently the number one question men want answered is 'how can you tell if a hot chick might be packing downstairs?' Apparently, a lot of transsexuals only go halfway and don't go through with the genital reconstruction, which is why some guys end up rudely surprised. Apparently an Adam's apple can be shaved off and electrolysis is so effective at removing facial hair, that it can be nearly impossible to distinguish a female from a shemale without risking getting a hand slapped.

But THIS is what they said is the "fail-proof" test. Look at fingers. Apparently, in males, the ring finger (4th finger) is longer than the index finger (2nd finger). In females, the index finger is longer. Which is an awesome nifty trick, EXCEPT... my index finger is a lot shorter than my ring finger. It's not even close. I'm a guy. So, thinking I heard them wrong, I checked on hubby. His index finger is also shorter than his ring finger. We both did this ^.^ Then, I asked him how it felt to find out he's gay after all these years, since apparently, according to the fail-proof test, I'm A GUY! That surgery must've been expensive. No wonder I'm always broke.

So, I thought, of course, Spike Tv has just got it wrong. More research was required.

Okay, my idea of research is about ten minutes worth of Google-fu... but what I did find seems to support the theory that according to my fingers, I should be a guy. Not only that, but I should be more inclined toward numbers and math than towards language.

Now, I'm fine with being the exception to every rule. LOL, but I wonder if there are any more of me out there.

So, quick poll.

Scratch that, the poll isn't working...

Just wondering... do your finger ratios peg you as male or female? Do they say you're more likely to a mathematician or a writer? (I'm thinking it's my destiny to write an epic allegorical tale about the human journey in numeric code so that it can be beamed into space and deciphered by other civilizations after we're long gone... but then I've always had delusions of grandeur.)

And the big question is... who has the pictures of Jared and Jensen's hands so we can solve the question once and for all about who the girl in that relationship is would be... ya know... if there was a relationship... *shifty eyes*

Also, as I was posting this little trivia, the Spike channel had a poll... Who gets you mored "fired up"? Molly Sims or Danneel Harris? It was a tie. LOL.

I saw that theory several months ago, and I'm not sure if it makes you feel any better, but according to it both me and my mom are guys who are good at math, and I can safely say that none of that is true.

Of course, if that theory was true it would also mean one of my brothers is a girl that is good with languages, which I can't totally argue against. *g*

Sorry I can't help with the pics, but now I want to see them too.

LOL. Y'know, so now that's three of us, just off my flist... Has a new theory... I wonder if typing makes the ring finger longer by forcing it to stretch and reach certain letters... (is grasping at straws) Cuz if you wanna get a little kinky, I also found something in my googling that suggested lesbians have longer index fingers because they... use them more... I was so not gonna ask that question. I'm going with the typing theory...

I'm apparently a boy! Which isn't surprising, I guess, since all of my friends say I'm a gay man trapped inside a woman's body.

And, obviously, I'm also more inclined toward language than math. So I'm just all screwed up.

Here's Jensen's hand. Seems to be about the same:

And Jared seems to be a girl:

OMG! Jared's index finger does look longer in that pic, cuz even bent it looks a little longer. He's more girly than I am!

As for you and me, and apparently everyone else on my flist, my theory is all this time online typing has forced our fingers to become disproportional. LOL. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I don't want to know what anyone else might be doing online to make their fingers disproportionate. <<...>>

LOL! That's interesting. I've never heard of that before, but count me in on being an exception to the rule. According to my hands, I too am supposed to be male with math skills. Ahaha, and I can safely say, considering my declining math marks the further I went, that math and I do not go well together...

From: [identity profile] tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com
Haha! We're a club! I can honestly say, math was never a problem for me, and at times, I even got a little excited over deciphering something that looked impossible at the outset, but I've never had a real passion for it. Plus, every standardized test I've ever taken has shown I'm clearly stronger in language.

My theory is that typing must change our finger proportions. I really wish I had some pictures of my hands from before I had a computer...

LOL math was never a problem until I hit Calculus... And then, I couldn't quite get how derivatives would apply to my life, and so I couldn't wrap my head around remember how to do the steps. Hahaa, which then lead to issues in Physics, but that's a whole other story...

Hmmm, that's an interesting theory about typing. I dunno though, if anything, the index finger has more to do for typing, so if you go by the "use" theory you posted above (which amused me heheh), the index should be longer for everyone... I am however convinced that the way I write has affected my right hand... So it's possible that typing would do it too.

Date: 2009-03-14 01:20 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com
Well, ya know, I was never required to take Calculus beyond Pre-Calculus, so I might very well have had the same problems with derivatives. Loved Physics, though, mostly the theory part and not the math part. Quantum physics for the win! Woohoo!

Yeah, and the index finger probably does more in typing, but I suspect most people, unless they play an instrument or type would not use their ring finger for much of anything, so maybe doing anything with the ring finger makes it lengthen out. I dunno. I think I overthink. But yeah, the use theory, I got a giggle out of that, too.

I guess I should also be a dude. My index finger is just a bit shorter then my ring finger. And math was always an easier subject for me then writing.
Interesting theory though. Now I am going to keep my eye out for people's finger length! LOL

I think it must be my faux male pheromones. I've attracted people on my flist who are all as gender confused as I am, LOL. Though, strangely none of us were confused until we found out THIS line of complete and utter crap. And keep an eye out. I wouldn't want you to accidentally go home with... what's the opposite of a drag queen? I should probably know that. *sigh*

Spike TV... always the hub of intellectual stimulation, bwahahahaha!

Actually, I was gonna have my subject line on this entry be, I CALL BS! But then my Google fu seemed to support the theory, so I had to change it, but yes. Obviously, whatever scientific research was conducted to achieve these results, it must have been conducted without any actual people involved. LOL. (Also, my theory is that all our time online and typing may have changed our finger proportions.)

So, wait. If you're a writer (and not a math person) your fingers should be?

From: [identity profile] tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com
If you're a math person, your index finger should be shorter... and if you're a language person your ring finger should be shorter. Though, I did only google for about ten minutes, but I know my handprint and Albert Einstein's were pretty darned similar. Also similar to Obama's and I have no idea if he's mathematically inclined, but he's a hell of a speaker. Again, Spike TV. Gotta love 'em.

Oh yeah, that's a much better picture. I wonder why his middle finger is crooked like that or if it's just an optical illusion due to the white on the jacket. I have strange illusions of him getting whacked with a ruler for picking his nose. Shut UP! Everyone does it, right?

I'm a guy ... wow ...

There was a documentary about John Borrowman on last year, I don't know if you know who he is but he's Captain Jack Harkness on Dr Who and in Torchwood. Anyway, he's openly and very vocally gay. He wanted to know whether it was a nature/nurture thing. Part of his research talked about hands and finger length. Because his were more like a woman's was supposed to be it predetermined him as gay (this was just one theory amongst many) - though I can't remember which finger was meant to be longer, but it was definitely those two that were mentioned.

LJ has made us all cross-gendered. LOLZ! I dunno about the nature/nurture thing either, but I know you can change your fingers with use. There was one thread I found in my "research" that suggested certain lesbians have longer index fingers because of how they "use" them. LOL. And I don't even wanna think about what all these people are doing when they're reading porn online, *twitches* This is one for Mythbusters!

I've watched MANswers a couple of times when nothing else was on. It's funny at times and disgusting others.

On the whole finger thing; my index finger is just a tad bit shorter. And if I was born a guy, I was born gay because I like dick way to much to have been a straight guy. I am better at math than English so there might be something to that part of it.

I saw a documentary at some point that talked about the ring finger length vs index finger and they said it had to do with the amount of testosterone that the baby was exposed to in utero. Some mothers have more than others apparently. The longer ring finger meant more testosterone and better in math and science.

Both my ring fingers are longer than my index fingers. On my left hand it is half an inch longer. The other one probably used to be longer but a horse broke it at the knuckle and it has never been the same.

I am really good at math, have a degree in engineering and work in a male dominated field. I guess I am a guy too.
