According to Science! I have a reason for dancing like an electrocuted chimp. It's all my mother's hormones' fault. Men with lower index/ring finger length ratios (correlated, it is believed, with androgen exposure in the womb and presumably the more masculinizing environment) are rated better dancers by 104 women in the study. My index and ring fingers are pretty much the same length.

This will come as no surprise to [livejournal.com profile] sammywol who has remarked on a number of occasions that I score more female than her in those "how masculine/feminine are you" quizzes. I will surreptitiously measure her fingers tonight for comparative purposes.

Hmmm...my ring finger is nearly a half inch longer than my index finger, and I can't dance worth a damn.

Hmmm ... mine also appear to be the same length. And yet I don't much like dancing. And as for the "how masculine/feminine are you" quizzes, I don't think I've ever taken one, and I'm half afraid to take one, now... 8/

Don't worry. You're a boardgamer, that's more important than minor details like your gender.
