According to Dr. Phil, cheaters have ring fingers that are longer than their index fingers:
Dr. Phil Fingers Cheats (NY Post)
Dr. Phil McGraw thinks that you can identify a cheating man by the length of his ring finger.Having a ring finger that's longer than your index finger is just one of the traits that he believes is an indicator of a man who's prone to infidelity.The daytime host has devoted today's episode of his talk show to the many ways that it's possible to identify cheaters -- including brain scans and genetic testing.While appearing on "The Early Show" yesterday, Dr. Phil said that cheating and non-cheating brains have distinct activity patterns. A player's brain shows a lot of activity everywhere, while a monogamous man's brain activity is concentrated in the back where the cerebellum is."You find these people that have a history of cheating, you compare their brains to normal and you see it's dramatically different," he said.Other high risk factors include the presence of what some scientists call the "infidelity gene" -- Allele 334 -- and higher-than-normal levels of feel-good Oxytocin and libido-raising testosterone hormones. (Longer ring fingers are a sign of exposure to high levels of testosterone in utero.)All of this isn't to say that cheaters should get a free pass just because they were born that way. "You still have the ability to choose not to do these things," Dr. Phil said.

10 first date rules for guys
Ah, first dates. So nerve-wracking. If only you knew exactly what was going to happen, then you could plan out everything in advance. But first dates are kind of like playing the lottery. You've got to be in it to win it, but sometimes you end up empty-handed. If you're a woman, you know these sorts of situations don't always go so smoothly.
If you're a guy, here are 10 tips that can make the first date easier on all of us.
Take charge. We do not want to decide where to go. We will never tell you this, but it is true. Ask us what kind of place and/or food we like; then, pick a place like that. Do not leave it up to us to choose. You are the man. Act like one.
Smile. When we arrive, smile. Maybe you are a tough guy. Maybe you are nervous. Maybe you are paralyzed. Either way, smile. Women are strange, exotic, intuitive creatures, and we respond well to positive reinforcement. Do not glower.
Mind your body language. If your legs are crossed and your hand is over your mouth, we will unconsciously think you are hiding something. If you are sprawled out all over with your legs spread wide and your hands behind your head, we will think you are a slob or generally loose. Sit up straight, lean in closer, and keep your hands where we can see them.
Ask questions. This seems obvious, but it's surprising how many men don't do this. You know what women like? Attention. Also, kittens, flowers, and cupcakes. Nothing else. If you seem curious about the woman sitting across from you, she will like it. For sure.
Listen. You can't just ask a bunch of questions, and then not listen to the answers. They call this a "date," but, really, for women, it's more like a "test." If you e-mailed or talked on the phone beforehand, remember what the hell she told you about herself. If you forget, we will feel angry and want to leave. Then you will be sorry.
Use flattery, appropriately. If at some point during our meeting, you tell us we are "beautiful," "attractive," or "pretty," we will like you better than if you didn't. It's. Just. That. Simple.
Act confident. We really do not care if you are secretly neurotic, deeply insecure, or mildly nuts. We are interested in how you portray yourself. Act confident, interested, engaged, self-assured, ambitious, and happy. We like that. Thanks.
No pawing allowed. If you're going to score with us at some point, we will let you know. Trust. Occasional physical contact is OK -- a hand to the small of the back, a touch of the thigh, a brief holding of the arm while making a point. Do not grab anywhere in the red light zones. If we want your hands there, we will put them there.
Please pay. Feminism, shmeminism. Take care of the bill without comment. That is what we want. Wave off any offer to go dutch. We lied. We don't want to pay half.
Say goodnight. Don't meander off into the night. Do something. What -- that is up to you: a handshake, a hug, a kiss. Do it right, and you might get a second date
