Guys, why do you lie about your penis size?

i often see questions on here that ask guys what the size of their penis is. and most guys swear that their penis is 7+ plus inches. but I read that the majority of the population is about 5 inches and only 2% of the population is above that size. so why does it seem like every guy in that 2% is on this website? when ever a guy tells his penis size I automatically subtract two inches from what he says because I heard that most guys add two inches to their real size.

  • I never lie about my penis size..only young or immature guys do that. Real men admit what their penis size is and work with what they have. Yes the average is 5 3/4 inches but nowadays it seems that more guys are a little above average. It could do with a lot of factors Just like how most youngs girls are a lot more developed than they were 10 years ago.

    I am an above average guy. I'm not going to say that I'm 11 inches or something crazy like that. I actually participated in a study on penis size a few years ago. I was measured at around 8 inches. But sometimes girls might prefer an average size penis.

  • I'm 7"... But I wasn't at your age. 7" isn't that unusual. Just under 6" is average. Some guys at much bigger.

    I think some guys are lying but a big part of it is who answers. When someone asked about size, above average guys don't hesitate to answer.

    You will see this even more extremely if you ask how long people have sex for.

    Guys who lie in real life are nuts. If I thought I was actually gonna get somewhere I would at most say 'above average but not huge'.

    If you lie you're setting up for disappointment.

  • They're insecure about their size and need reassurance.

    The sad thing is, you don't ever know if someone is telling the truth or not. They may be...or may not be, but I've come to not believe anyone who says they 7+ on here.

    • I don't need reassurance, I know I'm small. Studies show I'm average, but I do not feel average at all.

  • I've never lied to anyone about the size of my penis, I am 4.5" flaccid and 6.0" erect which is pretty much average. I'm 100% happy with my size so I see no reason to lie about it.

    I've never known guys to exaggerate to the extent of adding a couple of inches to their size but it is perfectly feasible that there is some degree of exaggeration going on.

  • My Length of my Erect (natural) Penis, Heart, Hands, Feet (foot/feet tip of big toe to ankle)=7.4in.
    18.667cm/ 7.349in./2 handbreadths "tefachs"/palms length (six sevens)"

    My Height= 176.3cm/ 67.835in./ 5-7.835ft.&in. 3.77 cubits/ 17 handbreadths "tefachs"/palmslength (one seven) 6+1=7
    my 1 handbreadth "tefach"/palms= 9.938cm/ 3.700in.
    7.349=7.4in. my Length of whole foot/feet (tip of big toe toe to end of heel) 26.17cm length 10.370in.

  • Well I can see why a man would feel totally secure lying about his size on here, it's not as if someone is going to measure him, however I've always wondered about why they do it to women in real life, knowing if their plan works the woman is going to find out he was lying and be disappointed. I always let on like I have a 3 inch penis, so that when they get to it they are surprised!

  • No... lies are for insecurities.

  • This is because most guys give out their penis size when fully erect. Fully erect, a 7 inch penis is great but nothing infinitely extraordinary. You probably see penises that are not fully erect or worse yet, not hard at all. Aside from this, the only thing I can think is that these guys may believe the lie attracts women to check out their dick, or to make up for the emasculated feeling of having a small penis. However, I sincerely believe that most guys just give the fully erected measurement, but because they can't always presented it as such at the drop of a dime, or under pressure in general, they often get labeled as liars.

  • most guys do

    and that ruins what girls think of penis size

    they think 8 is average because guys show them their 6 inch and say yeah baby its totally 8

    this is a problem for me because mine is 7.5 which is pretty big actually, but girls go oh so its not 8? 8 is big yours isnt

  • Well, the answer is obvious. Most men want to be attractive to the opposite sex, as do most women. Hence, women often lie about their dress sizes or their breast sizes.

  • Why do women lie about the number of men they've slept with? Women do all women think and say they have the smallest vagina on the planet? People want to be what other people want.

    • i've never heard any girls lie about how many men they've slept with. maybe that's cause I'm in high school and most people are still virgins. and I honestly don't know what you mean by "small vagina". if you mean tight I wouldn't have to lie about that because imma virgin so I highly doubt if I'm "loose"

    • Your vaginal capacity has nothing to do with the number of people you've slept with. It's genetic, just like penis size is to men. Again, the premise is that people lie to make themselves look better in the eyes of others. This doesn't have to stop at physical attributes.

  • I don't lie. 6.25" is nothing to brag about, but it's nothing to cry about. Guys lie about it or deliberately mismeasure to make themselves feel good.

  • i have length = 8 inches diameter=2.3 inch

  • Guys have body issues too. Why open yourself up to the abuse and ridicule that can happen when you admit to stuff like that.

    If it can never be proved wrong, then why wouldn't you lie.

  • I don't lie about it. It's honestly a lie most guys will say. Very few guys are actually as big as they advertise, though it does happen. I would guess 95 percent of them are lying if they say they are above 7 inches.

  • Honestly I have a 6.2 inch long erect circumcised Penis 🙂👍

  • I've noticed a lot of guys lie I feel like I'm the only one that is content and doesn't lie about my actual size

  • I'm a skinny 5.2 maybe 5.3 on a good warm day. It's small but at least it's not micro.
