Women with long index fingers on their left hands are more likely to have affairs, a study has shown.

The findings have surprised scientists as having a longer index finger is associated with having more typical female characteristics.

The longer index finger and shorter ring finger have been linked to being exposed to higher levels of female sex hormones in the womb.

It was assumed that women who were 'more feminised' would be more likely to be satisfied with their romantic relationships, and to be less impulsive.

Women with long index fingers on their left hands are more likely to have affairs, a study has shown. The findings have surprised scientists as having a longer index finger is associated with having more typical female characteristics

Being more exposed to the sex hormone oestrogen in the womb leads to women's index fingers growing longer than their ring finger.

By contrast, being exposed to more of the male sex hormone testosterone in the womb has a more 'masculinising' effect - and results in a longer ring finger and a shorter index finger.

Men with longer ring fingers than index fingers have been found to be better sportsmen.

Eiluned Pearce of Oxford University carried out the research which has been published in a Royal Society Journal.

She took measurements of the finger lengths of 274 female volunteers and also sampled their DNA.

They also completed psychological tests on their relationship quality.

She found that 'women with higher (more feminine) left hand digit ratios are more impulsive and rate their romantic relationships less favourably.' She added that the finding is 'intriguing, because the opposite might be expected'.

In the research paper, she speculates that women with the higher index finger to ring finger ration are likely to be 'more feminized' and more highly sought after by males.

Because they know they have a lot of options, 'this might be associated with dissatisfaction with current partners' and this might lead to flings - or as the scientists call it 'opportunistic mating' and 'impulsive' mating with men who are not their husband or partner.

The two main strategies in sex are 'opportunistic mating' - in other words having lots of flings - and a strategy 'focusing on long-term commitment'.

She writes that 'If females with more feminised morphology [body shape] have higher 'mate value', this might be associated with dissatisfaction with current partners, leading to impulsive extra-pair matings and seeking alternative mates.' 

The researchers also looked at the ratio of index finger to ring finger lengths in males, but did not find any connection with relationship quality.

HOW CAN YOU MEASURE YOUR 2D:4D RATIO?

To measure your finger straighten it and look at the palm of your hand. 

At the base of your index and ring fingers there are likely to be creases. Your index finger is likely to have one crease, the ring finger is a band of creases. 

Select the crease closest to the palm and choose a point on the crease midway across the base of the finger. 

Mark it with a pen. Measure it from the mark to the tip of the finger.

Last month research found that women whose ring fingers are longer than their index digits more likely to be lesbian.

Researchers at Essex University looked at sets of identical twins where one of the siblings was heterosexual.

They found that the homosexual twin tended to have a greater difference between the length of their index and ring finger, with the difference most pronounced among women.

Previous research has indicated that exposure to the male hormone testosterone in the womb could be linked to differences in finger length and also to sexuality.

Women's index and ring fingers are typically of similar length while in men there is a greater difference.

Both men and women are exposed to the 'male' hormone testosterone in the womb.

The study observed that in 18 sets of female twins, the lesbian twin had more 'male-typical' hands than her straight sister.

In 14 sets of male twins the gay twin had slightly more 'male-typical' hands than their straight brother but the difference between the two was not viewed as significant.

A chart indicated that the index finger of non-straight women was typically around 90 to 100 per cent as long as the ring finger. 

WHAT HAVE STUDIES ON FINGER LENGTH SHOWN?

AFFAIRS - Women with long index fingers are more likely to have affairs

New research has shown women with long index fingers on their left hands are more likely to have affairs, a study has shown.

The findings have surprised scientists as having a longer index finger is associated with having more typical female characteristics.

The longer index finger and shorter ring finger have been linked to being exposed to higher levels of female sex hormones in the womb.

It was assumed that women who were ‘more feminised’ would be more likely to be satisfied with their romantic relationships, and to be less impulsive.

VOICE - Babies are more likely to have squeaky voices if the index finger is longer than their ring finger

Earlier this year scientists found there could be a link between the length of a child's fingers and the pitch of their voice.

A baby is more likely to grow to have a squeaky voice if the index finger on their right hands is longer than the ring finger, the research suggested.

Similarly, scientists said the connection is probably the result of a lack of testosterone in the womb.

Testosterone is known to be key to early body growth and plays an important role in how vocal pitch develops during puberty.

JOB - Women with long ring fingers are more likely to have a traditionally female job

A woman’s choice of career is linked to the length of her fingers, according to a study.

Women whose index finger was short compared to their ring finger were more likely to have what was regarded as a traditionally male job, such as a lawyer or a manager in industry, the researchers found.

And those whose index finger was longer than their ring finger were more likely to be employed in a stereotypically female career, such as nursing or primary school teaching.

For the study, researchers from the National Research University in Russia analysed data from 1,500 men and women whose fingers were measured using digital callipers.

They found that significant differences in the 2D:4D differences were observed only for women and mostly for the left hand.

SHARING - Children with longer ring fingers are less likely to share 

Children who have index fingers shorter than their ring fingers are less likely to share their toys, research suggests.

Evidence already exists to show they are more aggressive - but the new study shows they are also more selfish - and won't even share with friends.

It is known those who have an index finger that is shorter than their ring finger are exposed to greater amounts of testosterone in the womb because the hormone affects the development of finger length.

Anthropologists argue that higher levels of the hormone during pregnancy leads to a 'masculinisation effect' in both boys and girls. Testosterone levels remain high as children age.

Austrian experts observed the habits of dozens of boys and girls given the choice of who gets glittery stickers to make the conclusion.
