Belly Buttons May Signal a Woman's Vigor

livescience.com — Many mammals have virtually no noticeable belly button. We humans, however, are left with an umbilical scar that is not only obvious but which varies dramatically. Some are seen as beautiful. Others are deemed ugly. Aki Sinkkonen at the University of Helsinki in Finland thinks the belly button, aka the umbilicus, serves a greater purpose.

    "Eh, sure, I guess...
    HEY! That's not my belly button."
    "That's not my finger."
  • trentrezn0r, on 02/04/2009, -4/+63WTF is with these articles about womens hands, belly buttons, chins, etc that you can use to judge to tell if she's a bitch, will cheat on you, how good in bed she is, etc.?

    This *****'s on Digg every day, just a different article. It's a frikkin' Mad Lib. Just change the body part and personality characteristic.

    Bury me down now.
    Thanks.
  • jrattner1, on 02/03/2009, -0/+52And this whole time I thought it was boobs I was attracted too.....
  • inactive, on 02/04/2009, -2/+40Yes it does, mine stores lint.
  • sjbdallas, on 02/04/2009, -4/+40Outies creep me out. I don't care how hot the chick is, if she's got an outie i'm having second thoughts.
  • Gauthic, on 02/04/2009, -2/+32What do you know when a blonde has bruises around her bellybutton?



    she has a blonde boyfriend ;)
  • BarlowBRob, on 02/03/2009, -1/+19Dugg for Navel Gazing
  • Taiyoryu, on 02/04/2009, -1/+17I'm taking a wild guess here, but perhaps the reason why most belly buttons aren't visible in other mammals is that it's hidden under a layer of fur.
  • inactive, on 02/04/2009, -0/+15so does the camel toe. it's a fact.
  • purseonality, on 02/04/2009, -1/+14If you think women might actually have plastic surgery to change their belly buttons, you would be right. They already do. It's articles like this that piss me off. And they are almost ALWAYS about women's body parts, not men's.

    If you really want good sex, tell your girlfriend/wife/partner that you adore every square inch of her just the way it is.
  • Jektal, on 02/04/2009, -1/+12*sigh*

    If I had a dollar for every time that's been screamed at me...
  • Specializedone, on 02/04/2009, -0/+10Just that your "girlfriend" was made of plastic. Bellybuttons are considered a waste in that application and putting them on could raise the price of blowup dolls.
  • saddino, on 02/04/2009, -0/+10The image caption reads: "Tests suggests this belly button would rate pretty well, being oval, vertical, slightly hooded, and indented but not too cavernous."

    Belly buttons are signaling something all right, but I don't think it's vigor.
  • wedges, on 02/04/2009, -1/+11the part that gets tied up (more commonly it's clamped) deteriorates and falls off. outies and innies are not caused by your doctor.
  • nicksorrells, on 02/03/2009, -2/+12I think this requires more experimental evidence...
  • awtripp, on 02/04/2009, -0/+9Big Red Racing reference?

    "that ain't my belly button!"
    "well that ain't my finger neither!"

    That game was rad.
  • Jektal, on 02/04/2009, -2/+11Jesus. Will you guys ever learn? Never insult the slutty ones. That doesn't help anybody.
  • agentinfinite, on 02/03/2009, -4/+12I don't know if I've ever really cared about the belly button, but when a girl has nice abs, that's hot.
  • Alli3388, on 02/04/2009, -2/+10If "perfect" means ***** your brother and being insane about having all the kids you possibly can, then yes, Angelina is perfect.

    Also, men have belly buttons too... This scientist seems not to have noticed that small detail - what does it mean for them??? I would say this scientist ought to have better things to research!!
  • richgustavson, on 02/04/2009, -0/+8I've never played that game, but that quote was rad!
  • Specializedone, on 02/04/2009, -2/+92th?
  • TheSpook, on 02/04/2009, -0/+7Only if the outie looks like a small penis. My friend dated a girl in college who had that.
  • Namco, on 02/04/2009, -0/+6This thread was rad.
  • EmperorOfCheese, on 02/04/2009, -0/+6Natural.
  • heinzfischer, on 02/04/2009, -1/+72rd?
  • trafficlight, on 02/04/2009, -1/+7That's just the mold injection point on your Real Doll.
  • trafficlight, on 02/04/2009, -0/+6That game WAS rad.
  • Alli3388, on 02/04/2009, -0/+6Maybe you should start cleaning your bellybutton.
  • Brassbud, on 02/04/2009, -0/+6Most mammals do, they just aren't that prominent.
  • SLYK, on 02/04/2009, -2/+8did you give it a good whiff?

    ....that's always fun.
  • XeRoX2k2, on 02/04/2009, -0/+6awesome racing game,it was far more fun to drive off the track looking for ramps and jumps.

    it's the ONLY game that you can race dump trucks too,oddly enough they used that in their promotions for the game
  • Kazakaz, on 02/04/2009, -1/+7Body Shots!
  • Trav1289, on 02/04/2009, -3/+8I dugg you. Only because you had 63 words in your rant. GOOD DAY SIR!
  • sillymeganlee, on 02/04/2009, -1/+6Hey, I'm fertile!
    STAY AWAY FROM MY UTERUS.
  • dlm85, on 02/04/2009, -0/+5This made me think of the old grade school joke.
    Johnny: "Hey Susie, can I put my finger in your belly button?"
    Susie: "Sure....Johnny, that's not my belly button."
    Johnny: "That's not my finger either."
  • havek23, on 02/04/2009, -4/+9tldr
    this was obviously written for women cause it's not just a chart/list lol i wanted a list of all the possible types of bellybuttons and what they all mean and that's that.
  • StuartGibson, on 06/14/2009, -0/+4o_O
  • orp2000, on 02/04/2009, -1/+5So Doofus here likes belly buttons, and he likes to pretend there is something profound in his work - and there simply isn't. He's just a guy who likes belly buttons - big deal, join the club, but this pseudo-science is ridiculous.
  • StuartGibson, on 06/14/2009, -0/+4Hey, I've never even heard of the game. Something I read god knows how many years ago. No idea of the original source.
  • Sornos, on 02/04/2009, -0/+4I've always wondered if belly buttons are natural among humans or rather our current way of tying the umbilical cord into a knot.
  • davidg11, on 02/04/2009, -3/+7"LASS COME OVER HERE AND LOOK AT MY BELLY!"
  • s0nicfreak, on 02/04/2009, -0/+4Dogs have bellybuttons too
  • eclaires, on 02/04/2009, -0/+4A girl I knew in elementary school told me she didn't have a belly button... I never got to see proof, but I still wonder if she really didn't have one...
  • jbird32275, on 02/04/2009, -2/+6I was kind of curious about men's.

    But, if I really want good sex, I'll tell someone else's girlfriend/wife/daughter that I adore every square inch of her just the way it is.

    After a while you just gotta tell your own girl the facts. It's called honesty and it is the first step toward self improvement.
  • SLYK, on 02/04/2009, -0/+3...I'm a man.
  • RealmDown, on 02/04/2009, -0/+32th ? 2TH?! YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE 2TH !

  • sjbdallas, on 02/04/2009, -0/+3I prefer to "Navel Target"
  • atomheartmother, on 02/04/2009, -0/+3This looks like naval warfare.
  • ASSASSYN360, on 02/04/2009, -0/+3I feel sorry for you all with an outy. I have an inny.
  • Brassbud, on 02/04/2009, -0/+3You might not want to metion that in the halls of Digg.
