Why guys care about penis size

[Anonymous]

Here's the real explaination why guys care so much.

Girls dont understand what penis size means to guys.

If your comparing guys asking about their penis size to girls asking about their vagina or boobs you dont understand it, your comparing the way "girls" look at their vaginas or boobs with the way "guys" look at their penis. Its not the same.

I know society, advertisements, etc. are the reason girls are concerned with ,"Do I look fat?", "Does this dress make look fat?", "Why do guys like skinny model-like, or anorexic like girls over curvier girls?",(They usually don't by the way and even though there are guys who like it, its usually preferred to have some meat on the girl.), "If dont wear a lot of makeup will guys think i dont care about how i look or present myself and be offputted by me?", etc.

Those insecurities you have or if you don't have them, what girls usually have, how important those body image and beauty standards are to you and how they affect you personally, is how guys feel about penis size. It defines us as guys whether girls understand it or not. When you tell a guy his penis is small, its the same as if a girl was feeling insecure about her body at the moment and asked her man "Do i look fat?, or does this dress make me look fat?" And he said, "Yes you look fat, or no its not the dress its you that makes you look fat" and if she was hurt by it, and he was like "What is she complaining about she asked and knew the answer?".

That guy who appears clueless about why she'd react that way is the same as a girl who doesn't understand why guys worry about their penis size and would be emotionally and pychologically hurt if someone straight told them it was small. You see why they worry about it, thats exactly how it feels, and guys who dont measure up well might have the same self esteem issues that fat and ugly girls might have due to the beauty standards girls are "supposed" to live up to, according to the societies upbringing. So thats the reason why guys care about their penis size so much.

Okay, I get it, blame society...
But you'd think guys would have more common sense than to think that size and size only is what matters when it comes to sex.
A lot of guys on GAG think like this:
Penis 7 inches and above = automatically good sex
Penis below 7 inches = automatically bad sex
It's like nothing else matters... -_- THAT IS A FUCKED UP WAY OF THINKING AND JUST SHOWS HOW UNEDUCATED CERTAIN PEOPLE CAN BE. Like wtf. Get some common sense. A guy will get nowhere in life if he thinks the size of the dick is the only thing that matters when it comes to sex. It's understandable to care about dick size, but you should care and think about other things too then, if you won't, sex will be bad no matter how big or small your wiener is.

I couldnt of said it better than that :D ha

[Anno_Domini]

I would place the blame on pornography. Entire generations of people are growing up being exposed to porn on the internet, warping their views on what is "normal."

[CrimsonKing]

@Anno_Domini Yeah but to be honest pornstars aren't even that big. The saying that the camera makes you look bigger than you are is true. I've only seen a one pornstar with a dick bigger than 9 inches. I'm bigger than probably 95% of them.

[Rpf1918]

You totally missed the point. Some guys are insecure about it, just like some women are insecure about their weight. If you don't think both of these things are culturally reinforced, then I don't know what to tell you. Common sense has nothing to do with it. If all it took was for people to shake theIr head and use "common sense", then nobody would ever be insecure, because when you look at it critically, there is no reason to be. Yet people still are.

[Anonymous]

I dont know. The balls are so much more important.

[myTake Owner]

Hahahaha

[fondue]

tl;dr
I just wanted to know - is that a picture of a bouquet of flowers in a mug of beer? What is that?

[myTake Owner]

Its the most sensitive manly drink you can have.

[crazybi]

I agree with this my take and many of the comments.

There are females that would perpetuate the ideal that bigger is better, but its all just preferences. The only problem being when they have to be mean just to get their preferences across. I don't care for those kind of people.

Size doesn't matter, big, small, whatever as long as it makes it pop, size is not gonna matter once you orgasm anyway.

[DeltsBrah]

Most girls are straight not bisexual

[aithe4ngel]

@DeltsBrah. But certainly not all ^.^

[crazybi]

@DeltsBrah Yes, just like every male is not gay, I wasn't factoring that in. People are people and each has different preferences.

[DodgersGM]

It's shocking to me how many people think that their manhood--for better or worse--is dependent on their penis.

This also seems to be more of a GaG phenomenon than a real life one. I've literally NEVER talked to anyone about my penis size.

[myTake Owner]

This was meant to explain why there's guys who are insecure about their size. not all of them are but there's guys that are.

[myTake Owner]

And if they were insecure about it they probably wouldn't talk to their friends about it.

[myTake Owner]

It also explains why guys brag about their dicks.

[myTake Owner]

*for the ones that do brag

[BertMacklinFBI]

statement of fact? or highly opinionated?

[TJ-Laser]

"It defines us as guys whether girls understand it or not" - speak for yourself.

i personally couldnt care less what others think about the size of my dick.

[myTake Owner]

Not all guys size matters to them, but what would happen if you lost your dick? Your telling me you wouldn't feel any less of a man?

[TJ-Laser]

i personally know men, friends who have lost legs due to IED's in afghan. you think they get away with their balls/dicks intact? doesn't make them any less of a man.

[myTake Owner]

Im not saying it does, insecurity wise it could make you feel that way whether or not it makes you less of a man, but how would you feel if that happened?

[TJ-Laser]

yeah, i see what you mean, but you're talking about 2 different things and getting off topic. feeling insecure due to having no dick because of medical reasons etc. is not the same as feeling insecure about the size of the dick you have been given. IM totally happy with the size of mine and couldnt care less what others thought of it. however, if it were to suddenly fall off, yes i would obviously have an issue with it, but not because i think it defines me as a man, more so because of the life changing implications it would have. I just think there is more to being a man than having a massive foot long. which is why i disagree with your statement

[myTake Owner]

Its okay you disagree with it, what im saying is that its generally looked at as an important body part to most guys, like if you made a poll and asked guys which would you rather lose, your non dominant arm or your penis, most actually picked non dominant arm, or an even harder decision, would you rather lose your penis or eyesight, for most it would be a hard decision. But not all, there's guys that would easily pick keeping eyesight over penis. You kind of see what i mean? Im not saying all guys care about size but the ones that do , care because its an important feature they have and their masculinity is associated with it or for whatever reason. But like you said you dont care, and other guys dont as well, but im talking about the ones that do. You see what i mean, or did i go on a different topic again? im not so good at explaining things

[myTake Owner]

And there's other characteristics of masculinity as well, i agree with you :)

[TJ-Laser]

i guess im kind of lucky as I've never had to feel like that and im only average sized at best lol. But yes i totally agree, there are men who do feel the way you describe, and i do agree that it must be similar to how women feel less feminine if they dont match the publicly perceived image of perfection. I guess my original point is that it shouldn't influence how people feel about themselves. no one is perfect and you only need to look at raw photos of celebrities to see that.

[hamlet]

Eh, I don't really care so much about it but I guess everyone is different.

[TripleAce]

I didn't read all that but objectively penis size CAN only matter given the feedback men get from females - if the world was filled with men, no would care

Meaning as long as men feel insecure about it, its implied that women are the cause of that insecurity (most of the times). Regardless if one person says it doesn't matter.

Solution - for women to not care ( but thats not going to happen)

[LorcaNovena]

You're generalizing here man.

I'm a guy and I don't care about my penis size. I am average sized guy, I guarantee any woman I sleep with who has been sexually active will have had sex with a guy that has a larger penis than mine and I just don't care about it.

I am more than just my reproductive organs, I am the eyes, the ears and the toes too. My masculinity isn't driven by the size of my penis. It's driven by my determination to succeed against all odds, it's my ability to lead and to work hard to accomplish my personal goals. It's the beard that covers half my face.

A woman saying I have a small penis isn't an issue to me because I know it's smaller than a lot of other guys, but it's still capable of doing the job, plus I have a tongue and fingers to help where necessary

Guys should stop worrying about their penis size and their height and women should stop worrying about their breasts and their buttocks. Love yourself and someone else will love you.

[myTake Owner]

I didn't mean to generalize, im posting why the guys that DO care , care about thier size.

[Gvanca]

Great! It would be good if guys thought like this..

[LorcaNovena]

@Gvanca It has taken along time to get here but I am confident most men arrive at this destination at some point in their lives.

[bubble_tea]

Ah... I just remembered that I didn't reply to that comment of yours that became this take. Would you rather I reply here or there? lol

[myTake Owner]

There lol

[bubble_tea]

Done lol!

[26ukdude]

I'm perfectly content with mine thanks

[RedThread]

I think it's a little selfish how much guys think about their dicks.. There's so much more to sex than that. All that time worrying about dicks could go to pleasing their partner.

[Browser101]

I can make a girl cum hard, shaking and hollering with just two fingers with or without even using a tongue. That’s with my pants on. Yes most girls love being mounted and penetrated and dominated by a big guy but the attention and care that you show to her in and out of bed is 95% of The equation. Big heart and big passion means much more than big penis. If your penis is at least the size of your little finger, it can give her pleasure. If not use your finger and she will be happy. If you or your partner is focused on your penis size there is a much larger problem with confidence/insecurity/maturity.

[Unit1]

Aaaand I don't care about penis size. I'm just glad, that I own my own :).

[jwhit]

I'm content with my size.

[RichardTheFrog]

I like mine because of the girls that have liked it, but not gonna lie, there are some size queens out there that want a bigger one...

But my stamina is unmatched...

Plus I'm about to be a millionaire with a Rolls Royce... So that should help...

[DeenaGupro]

because you're small, maybe.

[26ukdude]

yes i think that too when guys start asking those q's

[Anonymous]

I can understand why females (and some guys) are tired of hearing about guys complaining about their penis size. I can also understand why males (and some females) are tired of hearing about females complaining about their boobs, vagina, shape, fat, etc.

We all get insecure sometimes. I think it's hilarious watching guys and girls take the high road and act as though they have never been insecure before. "I've never told anyone about my penis size." Yeah but you've been insecure before. If you haven't you're lying. Self doubt is just like breathing it happens. If it doesn't your nervous system isn't working properly.

That said I usually don't bring up my penis size either. I do feel like in some ways it can give my an advantage but in other ways it can't. Either way I feel I'm a man regardless.

One thing I've noticed though is how differently people treat male height to penis size. Typically the guys who try to blow off penis size think a tall male is better than males of other height.

Not to get off track, but yeah sex is more than just penis size. Penis size is just one factor.
