It's a strange thing, when people ask me about female gaming (or when I artificially insert myself into the conversation), having to mock up what most women probably like. However, if I can draw these parallels, why can't guys do the same? My ring finger is longer than my index, too, fellas.

Also: Pretty cool. More dopamine = more empathy!

Oooh, mine is, too. Makes it easier to roll dice, I guess.

Excellent, select for the trait and create a race of DICE-ROLLING SUPARMEN!

SUPARWYMIN, rather.

U TRYIN 2 STEP??!1

...I'm sorry, I don't even know what it means.

Shit, man. My ring finger is a full-on 3/8ths shorter than my index finger. I can read maps quite well, but my spacial understanding is limited to flat panes of space. WHAT CAN THIS ALL MEAN?

Secondary Thought: When both of your pinky fingers aren't straight does that mean you are more likely to get cookies on Tuesdays? If so, this is science I can get behind.

Oooh, you have the pinky finger thing, too? People have asked me if mine were ever broken! I'll let you know if I get ant cookies today.

Mine are kind of wiggly too.

My ring finger is a full-on 3/8ths shorter than my index finger.

Yay! I'm not the only gurly girl in this thread. I read maps well also, but parking, not so great at. But compared to my husband, I feel like a WINNAH!

I'm not sure I approve of this "gurly girl". I'm going to curl my lower lip and bravely try not to cry at my new attribute.

My ring and index fingers are exactly the same length; I'm no good at parallel parking at all (probably because my visual depth perception isn't great); I do not pick fights in bars every night for amusement; but I have copious facial and body hair, raging male pattern baldness, and I've always been better than the average person at spatial visualization, at least according to most of the games, puzzles and whatnot that purport to test this. So I defy anyone to figure out what my magic testosterone level is.

It's FIVE!

Oh, hey. I'm a hard-drinking lady after all. I... uh. I was looking at the wrong finger.

I'm sure one day the public shame will be prove useful when I discover a bomb that can only be disarmed by index finger knowledge.

Hey, you've already passed the test of not having your fingers lopped off by an operating snowblower. This is fundamentally a win.

LAaaame correlation analysis. It's like correlating SAT scores to ear lobe length.

Well, I kind of presume that the BBC hasn't really reported all the pertinent science. But, only 40 people? Not much of a sample.

I'm sure that they're under the impression that us double-X types lack the gray matter to figure out that their sample was less then sufficient.

WHITE MATTER IS SO MUCH COOLER

Doesn't too much dopamine = schizophrenia? Hrm.... interesting correlation.

Well, it's not like I'm innocent of oversimplification either.

Seems my ring finger is a bit longer than my index finger, too. Unreal Tournament 2k4, anyone?

YOU PEOPLE ARE ALL FREAKS

oh, I was confusing "index finger" with "middle finger". I thought you were all aye-ayes.

My ring finger is longer than my index, and I STILL don't like gaming. I am a freak in every direction.

Well, you're probably using your spatial relations Mad Skilz in other arenas. Kerri949494 could probably whip my ass at any given FPS, f'rinstance, because my reflexes are crap. This has nothing to do with ANYTHING!
