Check What The Length Of Your Thumb Reveals About Your Love Life

Your thumb can say quite a bit about relationships and how you interact with your loved ones. If you find yourself curious about a potential mate, all you need to do is take a look at their thumbs to see if your personalities will match well.

The human thumb is an evolutionary advantage; it is opposable, unlike the other hand digits, and only has two distinct phalanges (bones that make up the fingers). All of the other fingers on the human hand have three. For centuries, palmists have used the length, flexibility, and shape of the thumb to determine how a person interacts with others.

Those who practice palmistry will say that that the length of the thumb can indicate how faithful a partner will be, how flexible or closed-minded he or she will be, and their level of generosity. As a rule, palmists maintain that the longer a person’s thumb, the more faithful they will be, and the more flexible the thumb, the more open-minded and tactful the person will be. Thumb shape plays an important role as well: more delicate thumbs denote a more sensitive personality, while a short, clubbed thumb can indicate a stronger- even brutal- personality However; there has been closer study of three distinct types of thumbs, and each type’s general personality traits.

Type A

In type A, the first part of the thumb is longer than the second one. People with this thumb type are incredibly passionate. They may also tend to become obsessed with their partners. Any person dating this type needs to be prepared for some serious devotion! If you have this thumb type, make sure that you do not become too dependent on your partner for happiness.

Type B

A “Type B” thumb has an equal top and bottom half. Those with this thumb type are balanced and calm. They do not fly off the handle, and they carefully plan out every move they make. If you have this thumb type, you may have noticed that, since you take things slowly, you come off as disinterested in a partner. If you are currently dating someone with this type of thumb and they appear aloof, never fear! They may just be taking their time to get to know you better.

Ten More Minutes.

While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a bench near a playground. “That’s my son over there,” she said, pointing to a little boy in a red sweater who was gliding down the slide. “He’s a fine looking boy” the man said. “That’s my daughter on the bike in the white dress.”

Then, looking at his watch, he called to his daughter. “What do you say we go, Melissa?” Melissa pleaded, “Just Ten more minutes, Dad. Please? Just Ten more minutes.” The man nodded and Melissa continued to ride her bike to her heart’s content. Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his daughter. “Time to go now?”

Again Melissa pleaded, “Ten more minutes, Dad. Just ten more minutes.” The man smiled and said, “OK.” “My, you certainly are a patient father,” the woman responded.

The man smiled and then said, “Her older brother Tommy was killed by a drunk driver last year while he was riding his bike near here. I never spent much time with Tommy and now I’d give anything for just ten more minutes with him. I’ve vowed not to make the same mistake with Melissa. She thinks she has ten more minutes to ride her bike. The truth is, I get Ten more minutes to watch her play.”

Moral: Life is all about making priorities, and family is one and only priority on top of all other, so spend all time you can with loved ones.
