Most people are familiar with the old wives’ tale which states
that a man’s finger size (and in particular that of his middle digit)
correlates to his male organ size. There have been numerous examples that
debunk this theory, but a recent study does suggest there may be some
correlation between a man’s finger size and his male organ health – as well as between finger size and
other characteristics.
Not
totally new.
The idea that finger size can reveal
hidden information about a man is not new. In addition to the old wives’ tale
mentioned above, the art of palmistry – or “reading” a man and his past and
future by examining his hand – has also long championed a connection between
finger size and male organ health.
Interestingly, the connection between
finger size and male organ health is not related to the middle finger, that
longest of digits. Rather, the aspect that palmistry experts and some
researchers focus on is the ratio between the second (index) finger and the
fourth (ring) finger. Known as the 2D:4D ratio, it sometimes assumes a
connection between this ratio and the size of the manhood. According to this
formula, the shorter the index finger is in relation to the ring finger, the
longer a man’s member.
Not so
true.
While there is scant scientific evidence
to back up this claim, there is evidence that this same ratio may tell one
something about the health of the tool – namely, whether it is prone to
receiving a good supply of male hormone. (It is perhaps this male hormone link
that gives rise to the male organ size myth.)
Why should the index and ring fingers
tell anything about a man’s male hormone levels? Because the formation of the
two fingers is influenced during fetal development by the relative amounts of
male hormone and estrogen to which the fetus is exposed: thus, the link.
There’s a flaw in this study, of course:
the 2D:4D ratio remains relatively constant, but a man’s male hormone levels
can fluctuate throughout life. Still, as an overall indicator of baseline male
hormone and therefore male organ health, it provides a clue.
Fingers
reveal other information as well.
Beyond male hormone information, finger
size can also be used to make generalizations about other things. For example,
overall men with a lower 2D:4D ratio are nicer in their dealings with women
(and seem to have larger families, perhaps as a result). In addition, there is
some correlation between lower ratios and ability to excel in mathematics.
(This again is supported by the idea that fetal male hormone levels are linked
to the ratio; male hormone is thought to play a role in the development of the
parts of the brain that favor mathematics.)
Finally, a lower ratio is associated
with what are traditionally considered more masculine features – another factor
that has a male hormone link.
Of course, it’s important to remember
that the above is the result of a small number of studies. The kind of
extensive studies that provide real in-depth information have not yet been
performed. And it’s also important to remember that the conclusions are
generalizations; there are plenty of “outliers,” such as men with a small ratio
who are rude toward women, who demonstrate that finger size is, at best, just a
way to make some educated guesses about a guy.
Regardless of finger size, a man can
take definite steps to improve and maintain his male organ health. One of the
most effective is to simply use a first-class male
organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) on a regular basis. This can give a
man an advantage over his rivals who are more careless about manhood care. For
example, many men unknowingly carry around an unpleasant odor that is revealed
when the member is brought forth. A crème with the mighty anti-bacterial
properties of vitamin A helps keep that odor under control, so that when a
woman swoons over a guy’s member, it’s not because of the rank odor. In
addition, the guy who utilizes a crème with the moisturizing power of Shea
butter and vitamin E will present a rod with smooth, silky skin, rather than a
dry, flaky monstrosity. And THAT wins him points.
