Why are women so bad at estimating penis size?

Women have no perception of penis size. Just lol @ some posts of threads on the internet about "What's the biggest penis you've ever had" and girls saying things like "OMG he was at least 10inches", "my boyfriend is 11 inches", etc... Like 1% of the population or less is bigger than 8.25 inches. Tell them your 6.5 inch penis is 8 and they believe you. Are women that bad at math?

  • Because we have no reason to be good at it, seeing as how the only people who ask are creeps online.

    Also, the issue about the dick's of men online being in the upper 1% of penile lengths across the globe would mean that men are just as bad, if not worse, at estimating their own dick size. I mean, have you not seen the number of posts made by guys on GaG where they complain about their small 10 inchers?

  • Oh, I think the whole bragging about size thing is so prevalent that even THEY don't really know. I think men are about as bad, so I am not going to blame it on women.

    I had documentation he was 13 inches before I even met him the first time, and sure enough, it was, because a big thing for him was to get measured, on film, and well, I saw the measuring tape live and in person.

    • I think you are right. But the guy with 13 inches? What does he do with all the leftover when he bottoms out?

    • @Red_Arrow He showed it off in porn mostly. rarely had sex that wasn't on camera really. I'm not sure if he ever had very satisfying sex. He had a lot of trouble keeping hard erections, and he didn't orgasm often that I saw, but that may have been the drugs and alcohol too.

  • Yeah, I can't speak for every woman, but I've certainly noticed this in myself. I have terrible measurement perception in general, and I often don't know the size of something given its measurements until I find a ruler or have something to compare it to or something. Not sure why that is.

  • I think that many women are pretty bad at estimating/measuring anything tbh. We don’t seem to have the spatial awareness that men do, driving, parking, guessing a piece of furniture will fit in a space.
    That and we don’t have dicks to give an educated guess on a size just by looking

  • The average female hand width is 2.91" so two hands high plus the head equals a little over 7". There you go ladies, measure him while you are giving him a slow, loving blow job.

  • I can't vote, cause I don't think it's either. I think it's the same as men, who lie about their penis size to seem dominant. Women kinda do the same about their man to show off. Or they truly don't know what 11 or 12 inches look like.

    My boyfriend didn't like, he's 6 1/3 inches. He told me and then measure in front of me lmao Plus, some people are just dumb when it comes to numbers :D

    • Are you dating an engineer?

  • I have never measured a penis in my life, so I literally suck at it. Although I think I might be underestimating rather than over estimating, because people seem to be surprised how "small" I think is normal.

    • Well lucky you.

    • How small do you think normal is? I still dont know whats average lol

  • It's really hard, because it's dark, guys lie to you, we don't generally take rulers to bed and for an Australian like myself, we use the metric system. The thing I go off for reference now are sex toys.

    • You can reference against the toys, but also against your hand. When you grip it you can see how much longer it is than the width of your hand. really not hard to estimate fairly closely.

    • @Red_Arrow Sure thing. To be honest I don't know why people care or really worry about it during sex.

    • That is very true. So many people hung up on size instead of how it is used.

  • We lie to brag or we lie to make our man feel better

  • Why are fishermen so bad at estimating fish size?

  • Because women have been lied to do much over the years in regards to how big an inch is.

  • They are probably bad at estimating it if they are saying 10 or 11, but I also think guys who have bigger dicks hookup with more girls on average which is why most girls have probably been with a guy who was 7 or 8 inches.

  • I know my facts on yours

  • Don’t be salty

  • I’m actually pretty good at estimating

    • How big am I then?

    • I can’t answer without seeing a dick pic you idiot

    • Exactly, not so good at estimating are you?

    • Show All
  • I have never had the need to measure my penis

  • Pretty sure I'm a expert by now. I get tons of dick pics weekly lmfao 😂

  • I can't even tell them I'm 6.5 inches ;(

  • Dunno

  • Women are bad at estimating anything

  • Most are bad at estimating a guys size because most guys lie about size.

  • Women are bad at estimating penis size

  • they're just trying to make us all feel even worse about our 2 inchers

  • Who can do math while all the blood is flowing downward?

    I did measure once, though. He was the biggest I’ve had and was just under 8 inches. I also disbelief all the 9-10 inch claims.

    • I don’t agree with that “ideal size chart” either. 6-6.5 is perfect for me.

    • There are some that are huge. But other than porn, what good are they? whether orally or vaginally, they will bottom out. But probably 80-90% of them are exaggerating.

    • Well, I shouldn’t have said all, of course. But when 10 chicks on one post are raving about 10 inch cocks, I know they are inexperienced. Most of us, like you point out, can’t fit that much in without difficulty.
