    I'm a gay man, and none of the ones I can actually check (never had a brain scan and I can't see which way my hair whorl grows) fit the statistics. Ring and index fingers almost the same length, good spatial reasoning, right-handed, no older brothers.

    But that doesn't surprise me - as with all studies like this, they're useful for drawing scientific conclusions (i.e: genetics are involved in sexual orientation in some way) but not for drawing conclusions about people. The statistical margins only emerge when you look at a huge volume of people.

    Straight match ups:

    I have a shorter index finger. That matches the "lesbian and straight man"

    I'm right handed. But I do know quite a few ambidextrous and left handed homosexuals.

    It's honestly hard to tell, but I think I have a clockwise hair whorl.

    Gay match ups:
    I have 2 older brothers. 66% chance of being gay.


    I've always been a more masculine type of person. Right when I found out I was gay, I went to see what makes someone gay. The more older brothers thing was the first thing I learned. I made me pissed too, as I thought it was a choice up until that point.

    That finger thing is wrong for me.

    Unless I'm a straight woman :redface:

    That's exactly what I thought when I read them for me.. even though some of them fit, a majority of them didn't at ALL :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
