Why do girls have such tiny hands and feet?

Question

Honestly my pinky is bigger than most girls' middle finger and their shoes can fit inside mine.

The idea is that the human skeleton has evolved for maximum efficiency. Smaller hands means the user can do finer detail and are more nimble, and women were generally gatherers in the past and made tools, which required gentle and small handling. And I guess feet are the same way, think of how small cats’ feet are, and how light and quick they are. Same thing with women having smaller appendages. It obviously also depends on height, like my feet are just a size or so under my boyfriend, but my hands are still much smaller, which is why I like to put my pinkie over his thumb so he can see how tiny it is.

I don't know, but my man always asks me why mine are so small 😂 probably because biologically men are supposed to be bigger and stronger than women. Big feet gives more stability. Big hands can help with hunting and protecting families back in those days

Because the size of your hands and your feet should be proportional to your height. And since most girls are shorter than most guys, their hands and their feet are also small when compared to guys.

Biological fact.  Men are supposed to be bigger, stronger than women because they were the hunters in the past while women were gatherers.

one of my friends recently commented on that. i never thought my feet were that small, but i guess they are compared to a man. i guess it goes with the whole difference in stature.

Either you have giantic hands and feet, or the women around you are midgets, because such small hands and feet are unusual. @.@
