Women's Finger Length Reveals a Secret

The length of a woman's ring finger in relation to her index finger
reveals her ability to do well--or not--at sports. Specifically, if the
ring finger is longer than the index finger, she's the one you'll want
to pick for your sports team. That's the word from a quirky study
conducted by Dr. Tim Spector, a medical doctor and professor with the
twin research and genetic epidemiology unit at St. Thomas's Hospital and
King's College London.
Britain's Independent newspaper reports that unlike men, most women have
ring fingers that are shorter or the same length as their index fingers.
A longer ring finger is actually quite unusual for females. Mind you,
the length of the finger is not important; what is important is the
ratio between the ring and index fingers. Previous research has shown
that many personality characteristics can be revealed by looking at the
finger ratio, including sexuality, fertility, intelligence,
aggressiveness and even musical talent.
Spector is no quack. He has always dismissed such claims. "I didn't
believe this stuff. Most of the studies were based on small numbers, and
the findings could easily be spurious," he told Independent health
editor Jeremy Laurance. So he decided to test it for himself using a
large database on twins that he has been developing and using for
research for 20 years. Using X-rays of the hands of 607 female twins
ages 25 to 79, Spector then compared the lengths of their index and ring
fingers. The women provided him with their highest level of achievement
in 12 sports: swimming, cycling, running, gymnastics, tennis, badminton,
squash, golf, skiing, soccer, cricket and martial arts.
The results? Those whose ring fingers were longer than their index
fingers were better at most sports and particularly excelled at sports
that involved running, especially soccer and tennis. He admits he was
surprised by the findings. Some scientists believe it is caused by a
higher level of testosterone in the womb, but Spector believes genetics
are also involved. The study findings were published in the British
Journal of Sports Medicine.

So that is why my husband keeps loosing football bets to me??? LMFAO.
Thanks for the info, it is cool.

So then if she flips me off with her largest finger than what am I to
conclude.1)She is brimming with pent up sexual energy and she wants to
get busy with me for a session of the bouncey-bounce.2)Or she hates my
guts and she thinks I am a filthy animal who should just fall of the
face of the earth.(lmao)Your call Ghost?

Or All of the above Cybear.

never herd of that fact.

It is a new one on me too. However, my ring finger is much longer than
my index finger, almost as long as the middle finger. My index fingers
tip comes about to the base of the nail of my ring finger and is
slightly longer than my little finger.

I have always excelled at sports. Swimming, water skiing, snow skiing,
baseball, tennis, golfing, vollyball, gymnastics, shooting sports and
more. I am short but have a competitive spirit that drive me to excel
at whatever I undertake. I thought it was a personality flaw. lol.

Now, I know, it is all in the ring finger... lmao too!
