Ok, as little girls we are all read fairy tale stories about the beautiful princess and the handsome prince who live happily ever after. Let me give you a little taste of what this life time time-line may look like:
Age 5 – little girl loves her Cinderella fairy story, where the handsome prince gives the beautiful Cinderella her glass slipper and they fall in love and live happily ever after. Girl starts to think: I want to marry a prince.
Age 10 – starts to have or already has experienced her first crush. She tells her best friend “i like Robbie, he is cute, he has nice brown eyes and nice hair”, her friend replies, “yeah but i like Tommy because he is taller and has blue eyes”… little girl thinks… hmmm i like nice eyes and nice hair… but she is right i want him to be taller too… Robbie is a bit too short…
Age 12 – little girls sleep over they tell each other who they have a crush on, little girls says “i like Tommy because he is tall, has nice eyes and nice hair” another friend says, “yeah but i like Matt because he is tall, has nice eyes, nice hair and he buys me a chocolate at every recess”. So the little girl thinks…. hmmm yes i do want that too…so i want a boy who is tall, has nice eyes, nice hair and buys me chocolates AND a bag of chips..just so my boy is better than Tracy’s…
Age 16 – Teenage girl has her first party to go to and she admits to her friend Lucy that she likes Alex because he is tall, has nice eyes, nice hair, buys her lunch every day at school. Lucy replies, “yeah he is nice but i like James better because he is tall, has nice eyes, nice hair, buys me lunch everyday and buys me flowers too!” so teenage girls starts to think..hmmm i am missing out here! I want that too! So she starts to list the things she wants;
Tall, nice eyes, nice hair, buys her lunch everyday, is romantic buys her flowers and drives a car and is the hottest looking guy in school, and has to cool, definitely not a dork, cant wear glasses, has to have spikey hair, oh and muscles definitely muscles, he cant have a high voice, he has to be on the basketball or football team, and smell nice, and take her to the movies, and spend lots of time with her, and take her to the graduation dance, and …
Fast forward a few years
Age 24 – Young woman admits to her girlfriends she cannot find a good man because they are all losers. Why is it so hard to find a man who:
Drives a nice car, has a great job, a doctor maybe, has great hair, great teeth, has a great body, great abs, great ass, has money, who buys her dinners, who buys her presents, who is an executive at a big company, who takes her on overseas vacations, who buys her flowers, who has a nice a voice, has a great laugh, who has good posture, who has nice hands, who has great veins, who’s toes aren’t too big, who’s toes aren’t too small, who has big hands but not too big, who has a good sense of humor, who is serious when it needs to be, who is a gentlemen and opens doors, who isn’t s exist, who is sensitive, who isn’t a wuss, who is great in bed, who has a big penis, who hasn’t got a small penis, and is kind, generous, loving, stands up for himself, who looks after her, who wont smother her, and he isn’t jealous, and he isn’t possessive, and he doesn’t drink heavily, who goes to church, who is freaky in bed, and has broad shoulders, cant have a receeding hairline, cant be hairy, and has great legs, no ugly feet, and wont cheat, who is devoted to her… etc etc etc etc
Well we are dumb aren’t we? We make lists that could circle the earth ten times over its circumference. Now to add to the stupid lists a scientific studies has brought out the following article:
Finger size link to earning power
WHAT THE !????
The length of a man’s fingers may predict his success in the City, research findings suggest.
Scientists at Cambridge University found that financial traders whose ring fingers are longer than their index fingers make the most money.
The link could be down to testosterone exposure in the womb, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences says.
This exposure may improve rapid decision-making skills and has been linked with aggression.
The same ring-to-index finger ratio, which is determined in the womb, has previously been associated with success in competitive sports.
Researcher John Coates and his team reported last year that testosterone seemed to boost short term success at finance after they found City traders with higher levels of the male hormone in the morning were more likely to make an unusually big profit that day.
Aggression hormone
Their latest findings are based on a study of 44 men working as traders in London, some of whom earned more than £4 million a year.
Over 20 months those traders with longer ring fingers made 11 times more money than those with the shortest ring fingers relative to their index fingers.
This “biological” impact on success was about equal to years of experience at the job. The most experienced traders made about nine times more than the least experienced ones.
When the researchers looked only at the experienced traders, those with longer ring fingers earned far more than those with shorter ring fingers – £838,000 compared to £154,000 on average, respectively.
The scientists believe that exposure to the “aggression” hormone testosterone in the womb may have improved the traders’ concentration and honed reflexes necessary to follow prices and make trades on extremely short notice.
This suggests that success on the financial markets is influenced by biology as much as experience, the researchers told PNAS.
Meanwhile, Belgian researchers have found men with longer ring fingers become less “socially minded” – less willing to give money to a fellow participant – after watching aggressive movies.
The reverse was also true – those with shorter ring fingers gave away the most money.
Lead researcher Kobe Millet said: “These results tell us that levels of testosterone people are exposed to before birth go on to affect their behaviour throughout their lives.”
He said studies suggested similar associations with finger length are also seen in women.
So now you know guys… now you are aware of another (stupid) little thing some women will be looking for in you when you are out on date…the size of your fingers… no longer will women just ask to have an STD (sexual transmitted disease) test they will ask your doctor to also test for this aggression hormone….
Next time you are out on a date and the woman lovingly takes your hand in hers..stroking it gently…oddly isolating your ring finger and studying it closely…. she is not thinking about marriage..she is thinking about this article… she is wondering… how much money are you able to really earn… and will that make you more attractive to her…
There is not just the ring finger theory. For decades, perhaps generations, there is also the Toe Theory. There are varying versions on the Toe Theory. Version one says that if your second toe is bigger than your big toe then you are more likely to be aggressive and dominant in relationships, version two says that if your second toe is bigger than your big toe then you are more likely to be unfaithful in relationships…hmmmmmmmmmm
So there is possibly an evolutionary and scientific excuse for cheating ??
“sorry baby, but you knew this would happen, you knew from the first time you saw my toes that i was more likely to cheat..not my fault… its the toes fault”
Im sorry men, good luck though!
This story just made me have enough! Enough! Lists why do we have them? Just so that when we meet a guy we are disappointed because they have a small penis no bigger erect than the width of our small palm??? To be disappointed because they don’t have the best job in the world!?? To be disappointed because they have more issues than Britney spears and Micheal Jackson put together!????
Sigh…
Ill breathe now…
I think ill just go back to my manbattical… its nice there….
My friend Mark works in another company. I rang him during the day to discuss a particular matter we are both dealing with. At the end of the formalities we had a bit of a chat and the conversation went like this:
“
One day I met another guy and decided not to accept Chris’ advances and decided to start dating the new guy. Chris never liked that decision and our friendship and whatever was blossoming was discontinued soon thereafter. That new guy I started dating became a 4 year nightmare unfortunately, but I was 17/18 years old at the time and we all make errors of judgement and life teaches us lessons.
