Hiddleston, Cumberbatch, and Quinto?

[dana_cz]

Last one looks like Jim Parsons, actually.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think that's a very well-established correlation. The ring finger might indicate more testosterone in the womb, which might indicate a larger penis.

[(Anonymous)]

psuedo-science bullshit.

[(Anonymous)]

+1

Pretty sure I read this is a debunked popular myth in a science magazine recently.

[(Anonymous)]

What does the same thing mean in women then? Still a higher level of testosterone?

This study sounds very dumb.

[(Anonymous)]

isn't this is an old theory, like i thought most people have heard of it/dismissed it

not that i object to imagining cumberbatch has a big dick

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a woman and my ring fingers are longer than my indexes (which I just noticed now that I read your secret). Thoughts, OP? xD

(On a serious note, I do have PCOS, which as far as I know is linked to higher than average levels of some hormones like testosterone. Interesting, huh.)

[othellia]

Is there really that huge of a length difference between ring and index finger for anyone though? It sounds like one of those horoscope things that lead people to think "omg that totally fits me" because its just vague and open enough to be applied to anyone.

[(Anonymous)]

The other thing it tends to indicate is a likelihood of homosexuality. A gay friend was telling me about this study and his own fascination with men's hands as indicators.

How do you know

[(Anonymous)]

that you haven't been disappointed? Have you seen all their penises? If so, measurements, photos or drawings in Paint, please.

if we are talking about BC's package.....

[(Anonymous)]

I saw him fully nude in Frankenstein (the London play). I, um, sat quite close to the stage and...got quite a few eyeful, given the angle.

Even allowing for the fact that it was an air-conditioned theater, and he was playing before a full house, I still can only site another review's wording: "baby carrot."

I hadn't heard of this study and I'm interested enough to look it up. Thanks for the citation.

I do have a huge thing for hands though, so the pics were nice. There is something about the grace them that captivates me. I don't consider it a sexual thing, I just admire people who have nice hands.

Larger penis size

[(Anonymous)]

Isn't the same thing as "large penis." I'm sure it just means they won their particular genetic lotto, and got a larger penis than they would have gotten otherwise, or something.

That said, I remember the study you're referring to, and I'm pretty sure it was never accepted by the actual scientific field.

[forgottenjester]

It sounds like bullshit to me. :/ Sorry OP.

But hey, it's your fantasy.

[(Anonymous)]

I love everyone in this thread calling "bullshit" and "pseudoscience"

The citation is right there in the post you dumb fucks, look up the study and feel free to submit your well-researched counterargument to the journal

[(Anonymous)]

Also, if your index and middle fingers are the same length, you might be a werewolf.

[(Anonymous)]

Thumb out. THUMB. OUT. IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT DO IT RIGHT. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)

[(Anonymous)]

Weird. I heard that a longer ring finger than index or middle meant there was a higher chance that the person was gay, but nothing about penis size.

The study in question

[(Anonymous)]

http://www.nature.com/aja/journal/v13/n5/full/aja201175a.html

The study linked:

144 men, all Korean, so it's hardly a diverse or random sample. Then, look at table 3, and look at those r values. The ring finger vs index finger measurements that OP is talking about are in the "digit ratio" column. R values come between 1 and -1, and those values are about -0.2 for both flaccid and stretched penis length. That's hardly a significant correlation by any statistics standard, regardless of what conclusions the scientists draw at the end. All the p value says is they're reasonably certain that their correlation coefficient is right.

Also, quoted directly from the study itself:

"Among these three variables (height, BMI and digit ratio), only height was a significant predictive factor for flaccid penile length (r=0.172, P=0.038) in the multivariate analysis using a linear regression model."

Considering OP is seeing flaccid penises here, the study says exactly the opposite of what they think it does; height matters more.

If you need more proof, look at figure 1. The line plotted is their line assuming a correlation, and the points plotted are the actual data. It's clear there's no major correlation.

[(Anonymous)]

This whole thread is making me lol. Let OP enjoy some Cumbercock people, jeez

[chaos_dragonfly]

Thanks so much, OP. Like I needed another reason to stare at the hands of hot blokes I love you

Nerd Alert

[(Anonymous)]

Dear OP,

I adore you so very much for including the citation with the secret. It warms my researcher heart!

[(Anonymous)]

Jim Parsons! *salivates*
