What does the length of your fingers say about you?

[rollinpace4lyf]

lmfao that shit was a long ass scream in they background.. they didn't even give a shit to even look .. just kept talking lmao

[superstephanie101]

lol at 3:07 she got freeked out and she pulled up her sleeve xD

[Tookjiluke]

Hahhaha that little girl is screaming her head off in the beginning somebody better make sure shes ok. But lets not do that lets talk about fingers first hmmm..

[MDIS]

I am a guy and my RATIO is ONE / 1 ??

OMFG

[Nevoexpo]

@MDIS same :/

[MDIS]

@Nevoexpo

So , if a male has a ratio of ( ONE / 1 ) would that mean that i have more female hormones in me ?

[stuqua]

@MDIS

It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with current hormone levels, and all it really reflects is the RATIO (not the absolute amount) of testosterone to estradiol (or possibly even DHT to estradiol, or androgens to estrogens) during a certain phase of fetal (pre-birth) development. In fact, it's very likely that hormone levels during puberty also influence the ratio.

Someone save that child!

[DoubleBasschick2]

Damn! who were the girls at the beginning?! sounded like they just witnessed murder or something.

[SHOJMPR42]

science is very helpful in our daily lives i can tell you

[handresearch]

... excellent interview, though there is so much more to be told about finger length!

PS. I am glad to see that in this video Manning actually demonstrates HOW to measure the '2D:4D ratio' ... for so many sources provide faulty info about that aspect of the research!

[PersonOfBook]

The ringer finger of my left hand is longer than index, while the index finger of my right hand is longer than ring finger. What does that mean?

[Qulopuaa]

@PersonOfBook .Sorry I really dont know.

[modestosplat]

@PersonOfBook it means that the ring finger of your left hand is longer than our index while the opposite is true on the other hand.

[kcunit333]

load of bullshit

[durty1calhoun]

this is crap. I have "a white woman's" hands according to him? I'm black guy that can palm a basketball and I'm only 5-7.

[LugiaLightning]

I cant hear what the fluck he's saying though I wish to! Too many vehicles. Is there other versions or a text one for this? I want to know what he's saying.

[TheBrittBoy]

my life was perfect until i cut the tip of my finger off, with a shorter finger i no longer fit the genius rich group, instead my shortened finger put me in the dumb broke group and i had to buy a used single-wide trailer and a 79 honda, go figure!!!

[Qulopuaa]

my left ringfinger is 5mm longer than the index and its 5 mm shorter than the index on right.Now the cause of my "wierdness".

[PersonOfBook]

Same is with me. My left ring finger is longer but my right index finger is longer!

[TBAGCLAN]

lol the girl screaming in the background when the guy starts speaking

[ScrewAttackChina]

what kind of feakazoid hand is that at 1:56?? that guy has a stubby index finger...

[ScrewAttackChina]

This is so he can get grants since there's no competition in his field, and he is "breaking new ground" .. it keeps his family fed, even though he knows himself this theory is full of poo

[TheQuantinuum]

Ummm, my index fingers on both hands are longer than both ring fingers and I'm a guy. What does that mean, lol.

[RexNunc]

This sounds sorta like phlebotomy

[lukey4567]

I love how the kids are attempting to scream over the BS tht is comin out his mouth lol

[Mizzece]

It's amazing the things thats people convince themselves and others to believe! ?This is CERTIFIED BULLSHIT!!

[RioNilo09]

I running 6km in 30 minute... .93

[cl0r]

"you're probably not a very good endurance runner." 1.4km in under an hour i'm guessing is above average then. seeing as my ratio is almost exactly 1.0 =P

[cl0r]

14km of course. haha!

[usliusli1]

my.. .94

[sy1234]

Awesome. Now go measure people's skulls to determine if you should gas them or not.

[cl0r]

Yeah, let's go for eugenics!

[system0system]

YOur HOt

[MastaShayke]

my fathers middle toes is longer then his 2nd toes whats that mean?

[tortybits]

He's a duck!

[albertescamilla]

what about toes

[Soufpaw]

is there a child being slaughtered somwhere at 0:34?

[sweetlinaa]

Hahaha, I had to go back and check XD You're right.. Haha ;D

[renerdrat]

@Soufpaw HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHH­A IRL

omg almost spit up my food. Didn't even notice the screaming till you mentioned it

[syphrus23]

I'm bored so I measured. I got .97

Next game!

[aspirationsdream]

I'm confused. What does it mean if a guy has a short ring finger with a ratio more like a female?

[BedStuyBro]

It means he likes bananas more than peach. lololol

[LLCoolPass]

he's a math teacher

[PopRocksAndLove]

their are children screaming in the back ground.....

[BedStuyBro]

I've got two ring fingers on one hand. Which one should I choose?

Please help?

I can't stop laughing.

[epsben]

ive read somewhere that if your littlefinger reaches past the second joint on your ringfinger youll be a little more agressive in nature (mine is shorter)

[rocpoals]

This is bulls***.com

[AllthatIamisLove]

Greetings..This is an exercise for the mind..Choose freely people and create the life you want through choice and choice alone..Giving your power away to this concept, will put you in your mind. Just accept who and what you are..Creative energy..The typr of fingers you have has nothing to do with your power to create the existence you desire..Choose freely, for you are limitless beings regardless of your fingers, and what a scientist might tell you in order to justify his work.

[shaystamang]

i also have a ring finger longer than my index

[aspirationsdream]

You should be a violinist!

[Geronimo5577]

He doesn't say how you're going to use your middle finger...

[dominokat07]

He talks about people who have a longer ring finger than index finger? I have NEVER seen someone with a ring finger longer than their index finger. :P

[dtodadelo]

my ring finger is longer than my index finger

[dominokat07]

Oh wait wtf LOL I'm an idiot. For some reason I was thinking MIDDLE finger, not index finger. No wonder this video confused me LOL!

:P

[123duffbeerrules]

i hAVE a longer ring finger. so does my dad. i think its just genetic, like earlobes.

[dominokat07]

Yes yes I got confused when I first saw this video. I thought he was saying that some people have their ring finger longer than their MIDDLE finger, not index finger. It was late, I was tired, and an idiot. :P hi.

[RunawayRed]

My ring finger is longer than my index finger...That's extremely common.

[EngleshMajur]

Death to the short-ring-finger bastards!!  They are the bane of civilized society, DEATH, I SAY!!

[smoke489]

i'm a guy, has longuer index on the left hand and same lenght on right hand.

i'm 100 % hetero, not endurent at all and not very musculous nor very hairy ( allmost no beard at all ) wtf am i still a guy ? lol

[gigantul]

Tarot cards next?

[howbert123]

speak the fuck up!!

[dominokat07]

Lol really. I had to crank my speakers :P

[whidzee]

you can have a good guess by looking at people to see if they would be a good distance runner. also it dosnt take much skill to read someone's bodylanguage to learn that someone is left handed. intersting, but i would need more proof.

[jh112344]

fucking kid screaming there ass off in the back, fuck you, i can't hear a shit they're talking about

[bulls7123]

I'm dubious, by the way mine's different on each hand - male, a 0.96 ratio on left hand, 0.97 on the right. And what does it have to do with being left and right handed too? So many questions...

[bulls7123]

u can't even spell dumbass!

[fuckthisshiat]

huh?

[legacymonkey31]

guess what? no one likes to go just run five miles, this is possibly the most retarded study ever.

[sarcomatose]

he was patronizing that dude and used an overly outrageous example as to not hurt his feelings. i doubt his researsh is based on how many of his subjects ran 5 miles before breakfast...

[merrett]

Some people do.

[zycan]

I think the test is bullshit. Take your test and gth pal.

[Jakemmx]

The digit ratio (in all mammals studied) is influenced by Androgen exposure in the womb ... and this androgen exposure affects mental and physical development. I don't know if all the claims are true, but I don't expect of it all being bullshit.

[QuranSearchCom]

Interesting study.

[celliguy]

This is TOTAL BULL

[benny6]

Buuuuulllllllll!!!!!!!!

[gl15col]

Wow, it seems from the language being used that the middle finger will also be in play here...Why is anyone getting so irate, it's research in progress, not destiny set in stone.

[Ar7ific1al]

well put, I agree

[featuredvidssuck]

All I could hear was traffic and people yelling in the background. Get some technical skills before you try and interview in public. You fvcking idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[Pantera90210]

i dont have fingers,im a bear rawr

[discothief]

I have two index fingers and eight thumbs.

What am I?

[xAtomicTwinSkix]

My index fingers are 2 cm and my ring fingers are 2 feet. Am I a good distance runner?

[Salladsdressing]

Crap! Psudo-science!

[nonlethalbychoice]

its like "well the science realy lies in th- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!....­.. x diference in the- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" lol

[Doothe]

Needs third party confirmation.

[kman1111]

SHUT UP THOOSE SCREAMING KIDS

[crazymongrel]

it sounds like children were being killed....

[takadi]

This is VERY true. The hostility being met here shows how afraid people are of this discovery.

[murtleman224]

it's a big call saying that the hostility is caused by people being afraid of the discovery...

when a scientist says that there is a weak correlation then people are right to doubt the results..

after all its all related to testosterone levels in a foetuses at week nine...

[takadi]

You don't get it do you? There is an actual GENE that is directly linked to fetal hormone exposure. The pattern is even found in other primate species. Whatever weakness in the correlation is due to other variables.

Hormone exposure is a mosaic, not a spectrum or a dichotomy.

[murtleman224]

i get it that the higher your prenatal exposure to testosterone at around week nine the more masculine your digit ratio will be... But i dont get how you think that peoples doubting a weak correlation to anything is hostility...

[gnorville]

CaaaRRAAAPP!

[TheTallestTree]

WEAK! NOT SCIENCE!

[takadi]

How the fuck is it not science? The digit growth gene is DIRECTLY linked to hormone exposure.

Digit growth might not be causation, but there is a strong link.

[Mrmtjones]

i love how uninterested the girl looks.

[sunnyphony]

stupid indeed

[omwebb]

The point of this isn't to diagnose people. It's a pure observation, which might lead someone else to theorize about the root causes, and maybe someday lead to a more useful discovery.

[takadi]

Exactly. I bet some retards watching this video are reacting negatively because they look down at their fingers and automatically think they are predetermined for autism, homosexuality, or poor athletism.

To everyone else: This is science, not Freudian politics. If you have a problem with your own masculinity, don't make blatant value judgements on this just because it threatens yours

[Subfightr]

I got one long finger for this guy

[steelejk]

STUPID.

[hartnell114]

which is bullshit cos i have a gay friend whos fingers are the total opposite from what he says,this is a calssic example of a scientist studying something for many years and lieing about his results and squeezing a book out on only Two things,thats just licking the algie from the base of the barrel isnt it!

[superfisto]

I was strangely attracted to her -- It's as though I'd like to hold her hand.

Am I alone here?

[biologyprodigy]

Someone get this guy a gypsy outfit, a pack of tarot cards, and a crystal ball.

[muslk]

hahaha

for real

[idontbelievereligion]

did not really go into detail...

sounds like an advertisement...

[ourben]

The secret to their success doesn't lie in the length on their finger.

Thats like saying the secret to a books success might lie in an international magazines video feature on the author.

Oh no wait...

[w0r1dpeace]

I'm sorry but I can't help except look at this as complete and utter bullshit.

Please don't tell me RBI actually PAID these people.

[NoahUF]

This seems quite questionable...

[PolliFaxToaster]

What was that? Chiromancy?  April fools day is still two weeks away! Weak!!!!

[muslk]

lucky guess..they didn't show the people he guessed wrong for either...bullshit science

[Subfightr]

... why would anyone rate this a negitive comment?

Your exactly right muslk. I would think it would be hard for him to be wrong in the first place, him saying well you are probably left handed, or atleast you use your left hand, or have a left hand. WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW you have a left hand, I bet you have a left foot too! SCIENCE! BUY MY BOOK! Asshole gives science a bad name

[muslk]

totally agree with you. this is fucking stupid.

[Tyrannous]

the best place to interview some one is obviously a public park with screaming children...

[driubi]

wow, a palm reader on new scientist?

[zaohragein]

newAGE scientist.

[Subfightr]

mmmmm.. its so general. I smell psudo science! nooooooooooo

[driubi]

i know, i can think of a better way of telling if someones a man or a woman either.

[akaCharlieG]

hahahah

[Supergaxx]

he said correlates about 50 times

[ChesterCopperpot321]

you hear all those fucking kids screaming? their parents should have been there beating their asses

[Flinchie]

Whats the use of this???? Everything he says is so general, like, if you have a more masculine finger ration, you are very slightly more likely to have some disease? Why bother with this when they are finding new, very accurate screening methods, all the time.

 Eh, maybie the long distance team will hire him, pick em while there in the womb :P

[takadi]

You obviously are complete idiot if you don't get what he's saying. Just because you are PRONE to something due to your endocrine make up does not make it DEFINITIVE.

God, why the fuck is everyone so fucking stupid

[drawds]

So you measure your finger and you can tell whether you're a good distance runner or not. WOW how helpful!

If he has done so much why does he keep talking about "running"?

[andopolis]

unconvincing.
