Surprising correlation of the day: apparently, male attractiveness can be gauged by looking at the length of a guy’s … fingers. Seriously! A new study by researchers at the University of Geneva in Switzerland found that the ratio between the length of a man’s right index and ring fingers is linked to facial attractiveness.
The ratio is being called 2D:4D (for second digit: fourth digit), and is determined by the amount of testosterone hormones a man is exposed to in utero. Levels of testosterone exposure in the first trimester contribute to facial development, which is why a greater, more “masculine” 2D:4D ratio can predict sexiness.
So in addition to checking for a ring, you now have another reason to ogle a guy’s ring finger —the longer it is than his index, the hotter he probably is. But you should check his face too, just to be sure.
