    There is evidence that a long ring finger may indicate that a woman was exposed to high levels of certain hormones in the womb, which may influence things like her sexual orientation or even her abilities in sports. However, not all scientists agree that you can figure out that much about someone based on their finger length—especially when there are so many other factors involved!

    Community Answer
    This means that you have many friends. Though this may seem like a good thing, sometimes it can lead to a more stressful and complicated life. If your middle finger is flexible it may mean that too many friends will have a negative impact on your overall life quality. However, if you have a stiff finger it shows that you will have a more positive impact on your mental well being. Look to Jupiter for guidance.
  • Question
    What do all the little lines mean on my fingers?
    Community Answer
    Rough and thick skinned fingers will not have lines on their fingers. Only thin and normal fingers can have these lines. Too many lines on phalanges (divisions of fingers) are also not good. One or two vertical lines on any phalange add to the quality of the phalange. Top part mind, middle one practical and last one attached to the hand are materialistic indications. When the hands are thin or delicate, these lines may be more significant. Sometimes extreme weakness of the person also produces these lines. First check the constitution and health of the person, next think of the results as said in the steps above.
  • Question
    What do V shaped lines mean on the top portion of my fingers? What do parallel lines mean on the center of my index finger?
    Community Answer
    First of all, your fingers may be narrow and thin. You may be very delicate and a little hypersensitive in nature. This causes the V shaped lines on the first phalanges of the fingers. If you work out to improve your health and overcome those hypersensitive qualities, those v shaped lines will disappear. Parallel lines means horizontal lines on middle part of index finger. Middle part of index finger represents practicality in managerial ideas. You may be getting opposition in this aspect or your ideas may be considered as not practicable and face rejections. Horizontal lines are a negative significance anywhere.
