see if this is true...

[stephaniedoes]

i watched a show on xdressers that was very interesting.. they tried showing men how to tell if a ladie they are interested in is a man or woman. 1 way was to find out on the hands the pointer finger is shorter then the ring finger, if you are a male.... a womans ring finger is shorter then the pointer. lets see... shall we? they said most go for the adoms apple and most things we all know about like buldges and voices but who ever looks at the fingers? i didnt until this episode.. is it true? my pointer is shorter then my ring, is yours? or your wives? hmmmm.

Hmmm...never heard of that one before, but my pointer is about the same length as my ring finger.

[SherriePall]

My ring finger is shorter on my left hand and longer on my right. Now, I am really confused! Or does that just prove the point that I have a very definite female side?
Or do I have a definite male side?

Same here! Pointer definitely appears longer on left, ring finger definitely appears longer on right.

And, of course, the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain, so it is when we are feminine that we are in our right mnd.

Hi Girls, my ring finger is longer on both. I must have a mans body, darn.

Hmmm...never heard of that one before, but my pointer is about the same length as my ring finger.

Same here - on both hands. My Adam's apple is there though not as prominent as I have seen on many men.

Mine too. I'm right handed so maybe that's it. I have to stop poking people I guess

I have heard this about finger length before and have a hard time with excepting this theory. Both my index fingers are longer than my ring fingers. For what it is worth, I don't have the slightest hint of an Adam's apple either. I was born 100% male too.

Ring finger development is a well established marker of testosterone levels during adolescence - it's regularly used to spot potential top class sprinters (since the growth spurt in the teens develops the necessary musculature and bones).

It's common for the ratio to differ between your hands, as well.

IME many MTFs have ring and forefingers of relatively similar length - but if you look at women's gloves, they're all designed for hands where the ring finger is shorter..

Thanks Nicki, maybe this explains why I never came close to being a top class sprinter. Somebody always had to finish last in a race.

I looked at mine and i'm the same way i didn't even notice untill I read your post.

[Dressing Jill]

My pointer finger is longer on my right hand and shorter on my left hand. Does that mean I am both?

I have no adams apple that can be seen.



Hugs

[stephaniedoes]

well thanks gurls, im gonna throw it out there and say another myth busted

[Rachel Morley]

I can make mine appear to be longer or shorter depending on whether I look at my hands from the top or the bottom and whether I stretch open my hands as wide as they go or open them wide but keep them positioned in a relaxed way. However, if I measure them accurately with a ruler they measure exactly the same!

[rlars1]

I am a GG so this is kind of interesting. I looked at my hands and on my left hand my pointer finger is shorter than my ring finger and on my right hand my pointer finger is longer than my ring finger. So what does that make me? Hmmm. I think it is a myth.

Better check again, after all Santa checks twice!

My pointer fingers are shorter, especialy the one I smashed with a hammer back when I was a carpenter.

[Kittykitty]

Ok, too weird.
On my hands, my ring finger is a good half an inch longer.

On my wife's hands, her pointer is slightly longer.

To add a twist, she is/was a semi-butch identifying lesbian. Don't take the butch out of context, she looks 100% woman, but wears no make-up, is into women, and is the first up the ladder to clean the gutters, or mow the lawn.
Ever see Amy Winn on trading spaces? Could be her red-headed twin!

[Tracii G]

Yep I must be a guy my pointers are longer than my rings.I need to get out the dremel tool and fix that

[beenherelongtime]

my pointers are both shorter

[linnea]

my pointer finger is shorter than my ring finger, on both hands

[dilane]

My pointer fingers are both clearly longer than my ring fingers.
I have no visible Adam's apple.

I've done some reading on this, and even did an informal survey at a family party. I was the only male with longer pointer fingers, although none of the men in our family have visible Adam's apples.

At the famous and now closed Queen Mary club, I did an informal survey and about half of the T-girls there had female type finger ratios. But most of the Transsexuals had the female finger ratio.

Btw, not all women have longer pointers, it's just a predominance, in the way most men are taller than most women. Women typically have the two fingers about equal length. My mother and I both have noticably longer pointer fingers.

[Jan Michell Collins]

Yep Pointer is shorter on both hands. Is that a bad thing???

[Intertwined]

is it true? my pointer is shorter then my ring, is yours? or your wives? hmmmm.

On an OVER ALL average, yes its true, there are always exceptions to the rule.

"In women, the two fingers are usually almost equal in length, as measured from the crease nearest the palm to the fingertip. In men, the ring finger tends to be much longer than the index. "

This was one of the things that keyed my doctor in on my Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY), my index fingers are both longer than my ring finger, and my pinkie fingers curve in to my ring finger, both are possible symptoms.

Arrrrgh: my ring fingers are longer, I have manhands! If not for my skinny arms and shoulders, cute legs, girlish waist, big blue eyes and long lashes, I could never pass for a woman....
