Can the length of your ..... finger predict your running ability? Yes it can.

Almost every male has a longer ring finger than index finger, but, and I am not making this up, there is some indication that gay males are more likely to not, and perhaps testosterone in the womb is at play.

Trump was often described as a short-fingered vulgarian.

This is very old info and has probably been talked about on LR before(would you look at that. Post 5 links it). Yes a longer ring finger=more Testosterone. Most males have a longer ring than pointer finger(obviously).

Now some scientist needs to figure out if cutting your pointer finger off makes you faster. Thoughts?

the length of my pen is predicts MY running ability

I remember in some dirty magazine I read along time ago... checking the length of the ring finger compared to index finger was the best way to make sure you weren't getting played by a dude in drag. It said if their ring finger was longer then it was time to get away because it was for sure a guy. Women's ring fingers and index fingers are the same length.

This rule sucks cuz my ring finger is the longest out of anyone I know, and still had mediocre running ability (barely broke 5 in HS)

Whats worse is I also have naturally super high testosterone levels but all I have to show for it is a skinny 5’10” body.

Where’d all the testosterone go??

Curious if true. The men in my office once checked all of our finger ratios. My ring finger was the longest and I’m gay.

This has been known for some time. It's not related to adult testosterone, it's the testosterone experienced in the womb: so it's your mother's testosterone that is the decider here.

The theory is that the small boost in testosterone before birth gives children the advantage in sports early on, which carries through into later life.

Yes, it is n´t new knowledge. My sport zone therapist told me that at least 20 years ago.

She suspected - judging from the built of my body - that my ring finger was significantly longer than my index finger. And it was true: My ring finger is just over 1 cm longer.

By the way : I was an elite sporter (soccer and running primarily) from I was 10-11 to my early sixties.

Idk. You’re the one that started the thread. Maybe you tell us

For high testosterone, just look at the length of your ding finger.

Foot size correlates, as well, to..........shoe size.

Mine is barely longer so I might have side glance curiosity? :( ....Will have to keep it in check.

It's the mother's testosterone that decides this? But what about all the children of male professional athletes who end up being insane athletes. I guess the response would be there are other factors at play?

No.

Sorry to break the news, but many trans women have longer index fingers than ring fingers. I don't know if that's because of the hormone replacement therapy or they were born that way.

Yes, this is old news. But...

Check which finger is longer on both hands. On my dominant hand, the ring finger is longer. On my other hand, the index finger is longer. Same for my wife.
