Title: Can homosexual tendencies be seen in the hand?
Post by: Nicky Oelofse on 10/04/2011 13:30:03

Nicky Oelofse  asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Hullo Chris.

Interesting talk on what the hands can show.

Is it true that one can see homosexual tendencies in the hand ?

If a man's middle finger and ring finger are the same length then he is very likely to be effeminate (homosexual). A man's middle finger should always be longer than his ring finger ?

If a woman's middle finger is longer than her ring finger, then she will likely have male traits (lesbian). A woman's ring finger should be the same length as her middle finger ?

Is the above true or a fallacy ?

Best Regards

Nicky Oelofse (Mr).

PS: A homosexual is made in the womb ?

What do you think?

My middle finger is longer than all my other fingers and I am in no way shape or form a lesbian or masculine in any way shape or form, physically or mentally.. I would say that sounds like a load of poo, or a wives tale to put it mildly..,, Then again That's just my own opinion...

Demonstrating signs of effeminacy in a bloke and masculinity in a girly does not conclude that they are gay !

Personally, I think we're all gay !  [;D]

Depends on whose lap your hand is observed.
