HOCD finger thing

Postby Ahay » Sun Nov 22, 2015 9:20 pm

Ok so this may sound really stupid but I was doing ok until I found this thing about finger ratio and sexuality. It says that if my ring finger is longer than my index finger than I am a lesbian. My ring finger is longer than my index finger.... Does this mean anything because I am totally scared to death. Is it real?

The finger thing means absolutely 0 nothing at all in relation to sexuality or preferences. Most results I ever saw on that were all saying that it was confirmed quack.

Do you have a link to the article pst or whatever it was, that made this suggestion? As jdd said, it means nothing.

In fact, it was done at like a circus type thing wasn't it? And in San Fran no less.

Thanks for the link Ahay. It does say at the end...

"You have to be careful," he says. "You can't look at someone's fingers and make a determination about whether they are heterosexual or lesbian, just as you can't decide whether they're neurotic. The [sexuality indicators] are most certainly there, but they're not strong enough to allow us to make predictions."


But believe me, I know that OCD fear can override that. It's happened to me a million times. I hope you feel a bit better now.

Obviously it would be nice if they actually could find more about its origins or if its really truly as set concrete as it seems but its unlikely to happen in our lifetime since well you know why. Not saying its a bad thing or not normal, just that it leaving it at "impossible" seems like a cop-out especially since we're not in the freudian times anymore.
