The Ring Finger – Index Finger “Gay” Test / Safety Dance!

Does anyone remember this myth? I remember first hearing it in high school…

(Wait…wasn’t Macho Man a big Village People single and a gay club culture anthem?)

I’ll bet that you looked at your hands right now, didn’t you? I’ll bet everybody looked at their hands. And when that happens, you know what it’s time for: Safety Dance!

  • Well, it's not a *complete* myth, anyway... there is evidence that there's a correlation between the ring finger to index finger length ration and testerone level. That's why, typically, women's index fingers are longer than their ring fingers, and vice-versa for men. Where this breaks down, though, is that there doesn't seem to be any correlation between homosexuality and testosterone.

  • On my left hand the difference is only slight, like in the macho man picture above but on my right hand there is a very big difference between ring finger and index. Looks like you kids with hands like the ring finger like the macho man above are just tom boy kids. I'm the daddy! Muhaha.

    Now off to get my manicure...

  • P.S. That "life is a TV show" quote on your left column is deep, deep on many levels. If my ring finger wasn't so large and my willy so small I might have been gay, and if was gay your ass would look fine in that comment.

  • Actually, scientific studies contradict this (kind of). Having a longer ring finger does mean you have more prenatal testosterone exposure, but this means you are actually more likely to be gay.

  • this is not completly true.. I'm gay and my index finger is shorter (1/2 inch) than my ring finger (I'm 6'2")

  • hmmm, my indexfinger and ringfiger is very close to to being equal, with the ringfinger being marginally bigger....and i enjoy the company of both men and women!
