My outer finger is a lot longer. But I'm not very heavily muscled or what have you.

More depression though.

Actually all this seems opposite of what I would think. Asher and I are the studs. And Pecka is not? Makes no sense.

People have ring fingers as the longest? Hmmm, mine's second by a bit - but that seems weird. No symmetry for death jabs or sternum crushing heart harpoons

pinky is generally shortest, furthest finger out from thumb
how in heaven's is your pinky longest?!

I thought it was pretty much universal arrangement to have pinky smallest, ring and index more or less the same, middle longest

My ring finger is longer than my index finger on both hands.

How does that fit your curve, AH?

On my left hand (I'm left handed), my ring finger is the longest by about 2 mm. On my right hand, my middle finger is longest, with the ring finger about 2 mm shorter.

In both cases, the ring fingers are about 6 mm longer than the index fingers, although it's hard to tell with the right index finger what it's normal length would be, since it's a bit curved due to a fracture.

Have you seen a person whose index finger is longer than the ring finger?

On my right hand my ring finger is 2nd longest, but on my left hand my index is just 2nd longest. Odd

I'm finding this whole thread a hoot - its flushed out a lot of anatomical freaks around the forum in a very sneaky way.

Proudly they come forward to reveal their deformities

nothing inherrently wrong with having a roundish face

it is just that according to some studies, round faces are not as sought after by women for lovers

well the roundish face is preferred for life partner but not rough trade if I've understood the story correctly.

I can't believe I'm so sad I'm actually posting in this thread. Anyway;

Right hand - fingers measured from the crease at the base.

Index - 81mm
Middle - 88mm
Ring - 85mm
"Pinky" - 67mm

And I still have a (nearly) full head of hair.

my hands are small: they're only about 1-3 mm longer than my gf's fingers, and i stand at least 3-6 inches taller.

but, as for finger lengths in relation to each other:

right finger is 3-4 mm shorter than middle finger but 3-4 mm longer than index finger, on both hands.
