Is Digit Ratio actual scientific thing or more pseudoscience nonsense?

Look at the referenced papers anon, then find out how many times they've been cited and what journals the papers are in. That's usually a good basis if a topic is credible or not.

the first i ever heard of this was a girl trying to find out if i was gay in middle school. she said she read it on cosmopolitan. what a major invasion of my privacy if it was real very disrespectful of her. i knew right away it was bs and she was dumb for believing in it. i think it was 8th grade.

>> No.12247014

>>12246946
Well anon, are you gay? Yeah, digit ratio is real, but just looking at someone's hand isn't an invasion of privacy. Trust me, it's been well backed many times, and the NFL even uses digit ratio to measure player prospects.

God those nails are fucking disgusting.
>Other studies have disputed this; some have shown that the digit ratio in homosexual men is similar to,[56][134][135][136][142] or lower than,[131][126][133][138] that of heterosexual men. One study concluded that differences are dependent on geographical variation, with gay men having lower or similar ratios to straight men in Europe, but higher or similar in the United States.[143] But this finding has been questioned in a meta-analysis including 18 studies, which suggested that ethnicity, rather than geography, explained the differences previously found in men of different sexual orientations.

It's pretty clear that digit ratio doesn't have much to do with being gay.

but thats the entire practicality to the entire concept - a novel way to identify homosexuals. if its a racial thing then it doesnt mean anything new to what we know: some races have higher testosterone than others.

No, no it is not. The interest in using digit ratio to identify homosexuals is nil at best, a passing interest for fun at worst, don't let some roasty who took some test out of a cosmopolitan magazine tell you otherwise. God you sound like a faggot, I bet you could find oppression in a ham sandwich.

My index and ring fingers are exactly the same length, and come only slightly passed the last joint on my middle finger. Both relative and absolute length are the same. I'm heterosexual. I checked a number of women and found they had the more masculine variant, longer ring finger, interestingly.

>> No.12247245

>>12247229
Yeah i also think is bs (contradicting studies), but i am barely literate so who knows

i read that te guys with 1 : 1 ratio, tend to be closeted gays (n = 50000 across multiple studies), you should look into that

>>12247229
Also, I don't really get the metric here, though I didn't read carefully to find the thresholds either. Mine would 1, or 1:1. Is this high or low? I've scarcely seen anyone with a longer index, therefore I figure the bulk of the stuff listed on the wiki as low(er) ratio is <1, ie, any case where the ring is longer.

Some of the correlations noted are accurate, like the schizo and psychopathic tendencies, improved literacy and verbals tuff, paranormal experiences, etc, monogamous core tendencies (though variable). A lot of this is just as well, or better, described by early childhood trauma and conditioning towards doublethink, fantasy, reframing for control, magical thinking, and ultimately in a higher level sense (not a core defense) paranoia and the urge to simply destroy all threats. Perhaps the digit ratios play a role though, in baising or modifying the genetic predispositions for certain responses to environmental demand. The narcissistic (God-like) and schizotypal branches.

Interesting regardless. I'm masculine overall, but don't really see myself as being a gender. I don't think about it like that, or at all, really.

Yes, that was my introduction to this topic. Not gay though.

i made that up, didn't read anything about 1:1
charts don't apply if you are a 1, it says only for high/low

btw bit of advice how not to be gay, stop writing walls of text and obsessing about this
then try gay sex, if you don't like it, you are not gay
