Can girls even judge the size?

There are various comments on this site relevant to the length of male genitals saying "Well I know that the average is around 6 inches so I would say that I would like a 7 or 8 inches long the most!" Do these girls even KNOW what they are talking about? I mean, I really doubt they went up to the guy and asked "hey, can I measure your erect rod with a ruler before intercourse? I'm really interested in how long it is." I really doubt they can tell based on eyesight how big it could be. Technically, it doesn't seem likely that they could have objective and certain information on sizes and lengths like that. What do you think? In short: Girls always say they like way above average male parts. I don't think they can tell the exact size. Can they really? Because I don't think so.

  • I agree that women have no clue beyond "this seems big/regular/small". And frankly, many of them might thing that some normal penises are big too (but those might be borderline medium/large. six and change and such).

    Penis size has so little variation in most people. Given that humans sort of suck at depth perception as a species and its very rare that you have something horizontally oriented next to a penis to compare its size to, you just sort of guess at its size without a real sense of it. But the fact of the matter is that 5.5 is average. anything over 7 is "large" and anything under 5 is "small". With something like 75% of all guys falling between 5.0 and 6.9 inches. and 50% of them falling between 5.5 and 6.0. Well, I guess my point is that nearly everyone falls within a two inch range, with the plurality falling within 1/2 an inch of each other. Two inches is a really tiny difference. and since even one inch more than that is "porn star length" I think all these people claiming to have seen 7, 8 and 9 inchers have no clue how long 7 8 or 9 inches are since they are all quite rare. (though there are plenty out there since penis size is hugely centered on one size, but the total variance from biggest to smallest is huge with every size up to 13.5" represented by at least a few people)

  • There is no way to tell the exct size apart from the aforementioned ruler, although there are certain characteristics that hint at the size of a mans member, for example;

    -Height is often a good indicator but is not always reliable.

    -The length of a mans hand (the nook of the thumb to the tip of the index finger when in an "L" shape) tends to be roughly the same length as a mans penis, hence the saying "you know what they say about men with big hands"

    -build can also be a good indicator, men with larger penises tend to have greater levels of testosterone and due to several other hormones they tend to put on muscle fast.

    - I've also heard that the size of the feet can also be an indicator, not sure though.

    Regardless of this, a girl won't really care about your size as long as it's not laughably small, although they will fantasise about riding a large one, it's only natural.

    • I've read that height is no indication. One study showed that the the person with the biggest member was actually fairly short while the taller guys were a tad smaller. As far as the build goes, my guy is pretty skinny and has a hard time putting on muscle. I'm pretty sure I'm fairly accurate with his measurement...as I held my hand up next to it, then measured my hand later, and I got 7 inches (bottom of palm to the tip of my middle finger) with a good size girth.

    • ...Honestly I don't think there is an accurate way to tell other than ripping his pants off and looking for yourself. lol

  • As far as girls ALL preferring above average guys- we're all different, so one size may be good for one girl and might not be so good for the next. As far as measuring goes- I either go by what the guy tells me, or, I mean.. I know what six inches is, so I can add or subtract a couple inches and have a pretty good guess of how big the guy is. But your right, I don't carry a tape measure with me to the bedroom so I never know exactly! :o)

  • There is no way to tell unless you get a ruler to your man, as I have done. HA.

    but women can usually tell like mandy said, small, average, or above.

  • Girls can tell 3 differant sizes. Small, Average, and Big. We don't know sh*t about measurments.

  • I don't care what size it is...I DO care if he gets me off and how well.

  • No...but same with guys and guessing bra cup,guys know nothing about it

    • ***and neither do girls

    • If a guy understands how bra sizing works (thats a big if) they can identify bra size by sight as long as you're not wearing 3 or more layers and/or a sweater. I know my friends personally laugh about how funny it is that girls try to make their bra size some big secret since we've all been able to identify pretty much any girls size with close to 100% accuracy since we were 15. the differences in consecutive cups and bands are so large that its pretty blatantly obvious.

    • I wouldn't say its that obvioius. No one believes me when I tell them my size, they always over guess. Though looking at my bras, I own 3 different cup sizes, all of which fit. Depends on the company/ style.

  • Yeah, I think they exaggerate. The average penis size is between 5 and 6 inches, but if you listen to the guys and girls on this site, the average is 7 or so. Most of the guys claim to be above average, and most of the girls claim that their boyfriends are above average. I highly doubt a girl measures her guy's d*** with a ruler.

  • to Mandy's comment...

    they might not know measurements but when its big they know it!

  • lol I asked the same question about a month ago. I think they exaggerate or they get the information from their boyfriends and they were exaggerating.
