Why do MOST guys lie about their penis size? Why don't they just tell the truth?

Why do almost all guys lie about the size of their penis? This guy told me there is no such thing as a dick bigger than 7 inches and that all guys who say that lie. I bet he was just lying just because he has a small one and gets really pissed every time someone says they have a big penis. And if 7 Inches is above average.. Why do most guys say theirs is 7. Not every one can have a 7" penis. This means that most men lie? But why? Also, I only think he has a small one because he gets really pissy everytime someone says they have a large penis. I have never actually seen it. So don't even start on that. Why don't they just tell the truth? Especially if they are asking questions online? And say that their penis is 4" long. And they lie and ask a question saying "is 7" enough? Is it too small?" Wtf? Why can't they just say their real size to get the best advice? They even lie on anonymous! what the f.

  • The global average is about 5.5", but there are many guys both bigger and smaller than that (it IS possible to have a dick longer than 7-8"). The main reason why guys always post shit like "Is 8" too small?" is because even though they're NOT small, they feel like they're small because the p*rn industry always shows guys with fucking foot-longs and that has ruined our own body image.

    Yeah, that's right. Girls aren't the only ones shamed for their bodies. Just like how women are made to feel ashamed of their bodies due to magazines, TV shows, etc., guys are also being shamed too and not just with our bodies, but our dicks, jobs, assets, etc.

    Also, those with small dicks are the ones who try to start shit with guys who are bigger, saying "Oh you're such a liar, no guy is that big" and whatnot.

    • This makes me feel kind of happy. Just like women go through body shaming, I'm happy to know that men do too. Although it's kind of sad.. Because no one should be body shamed and no one should be ashamed of their body.

    • It really is dumb how even now, in 2015, people in general always degrade one another over looks. Outer beauty will fade away, but inner beauty lasts forever.

    • It's also really dumb how racism still exists in 2015. There are a lot of dumb things still going on in 2015. What are you trying to say? Lol yeah I know that.. That's what my grandmother says XP

  • No dick bigger than 7 inches? Dude needs to go watch some p*rn .

    Sadly, our penis is still our pride and joy. Our trophies. Guys don't want to be average or below in this department. We want to be studs. So in comes the lying or the insecurities.

    Me personally? I'm content with my average size. I haven't gotten complaints in the past and there's nothing I can do about it anyways.

    • That's a good way to be thinking. Sadly, most men don't think this way.

    • Actually it's the camera angle and the petite girls that makes them "look" big 90% are 6-7.5". They lie to sell more DVDs. The girl from MTV teen moms that was in porn reported the one famous male actor wasn't big at all. There aren't any foot long guys in movies. I think the biggest (2 guys) are in the 9<10" range. Here is a link that proves it.(18+) pornmeasurements. tumblr

  • Guys are naturally competitive with each other and will peacock (kinda appropriate term given the question), including putting down other guys' sizes. I knew a guy who tried to tell me that his was 7" and he posted a pic and he had the ruler under it but under the balls so the head hit the 7" mark. Guys want to be bigger, stronger, smarter than the next guy (women can be the same, I suppose), and it could go back to being more attractive to the opposite sex...

    • That's very true. Just like MOST women want to be skinnier and have a bigger but and boobs and prettier face. etc

    • Exactly... guys have penis envy. Chive has a weekly picture post on breast envy..

  • if i told you my size was 9 1/2 would you believe me? it is but since most girls dont beleive what can't be seen or dont like guys with tinyness then guys lie so they can have a chance. Im not lying but it is up to the girl to decide since she doesn't know the guy... and yea "little guys" do get mad sometimes if they are not proud of their sizes... i feel bad for them since the have to lie... thats the sadest thing to do... its not like a couple more inches will make you better in bed... its "the motion in the ocean " not the" size of the boat" as they say haha

  • 7 inches is... average?
    *sad face
    I'm below average.

    • It's okay... Not all women want something big

    • I hope you don't want one yet , cos if not I might have to go talk to Chris Hansen again.

    • I don't want anything ever until I'm 35. Don't even think I want something like that! That is just disgusting

  • Men are peer pressured from an early age to think bigger is better. So they get insecure about it, especially since they don't see other's in person only above average ones in porn.

    It is the same way with women and their weight/ breast size, women peer pressuring each other, it isn't from us guys. We love all breast, women are jealous/compare themselves to each other, just like men do (muscles/ money/penis size/cars, etc)

  • I'm packin' 4.75" of pure power and nobody has ever complained.

  • Guys that are insecure lie about that stuff. I have the exact average dick length and I'm not afraid to admit it, though mine will grow to be a bit bigger in time. I remember back in middle school all guys would say their dicks were like 8 inches which was probably impossible at that age lol. If I had a really small dick, I might lie though and I can sympathize with dudes who do, but I'm not ashamed of my size because it isn't all about the size it is more about knowing how to use it.

    • Guys shouldn't feel upset about their sizes in the first place...

  • my penis is 8" but most people think i'm lying.

    what can i do?

    • I didn't need to know that

  • Google it.. Average is around five inches..
    Me? A little above average but not enough to say it's big.. and I've never had a complaint about the size or the way it was used.

    • That's because most women aren't mean and they don't say anything.

  • I think guys lie now because if they tell the truth, people will still think they're lying.

    For example:

    Say a guy is 6 inches erect. He decides to just admit it, "hey I'm 6 inches erect". Say girls assume guys always add on an inch or two. They will suspect this guy is in fact not 6 inches erect, but only 4 or 5 inches.

    I personally don't lie about mine, but I don't bring it up in conversation or anything.

  • Yes mine is small :(

    • It's notthing to be sad about

    • I didn't need to know that. This is too graphic

  • "And if 7 Inches is above average.. Why do most guys say theirs is 7. Not every one can have a 7" penis"

    Guys with small penises tend to avoid posting their size. The only guys that post their size tend to be guys that are proud of their little dude.

    • They can post on anonymous. If they are really insecure and want to know if theirs is actually big enough. Most of them lie

    • A lot of small guys know that their dick is small, so they choose to not involve themselves with questions like this.

    • Yep no shame in my game

  • Big dicks signifies manliness.

  • Because otherwise they'd cry 96 tears

    • Just 96? No more? No less?

    • Nah that's it

  • Why do women lie and say size doesn't matter? Then were off to, why do women lie about how many sex partners they have? etc etc

    • Those are good questions... Women lie because they don't want to seem like sluts? Perhaps

    • I think the lies men and women tell in this area does favors for no one. Especially when it comes to understanding.

  • Because they watch p*rn . It's as simple as that. p*rn makes men insecure.

    • Interesting... I wonder why they seem to love it so much then

    • Because visual stimulation makes guys horny and puts out chemical in their brains like a drug. Also they usually aren't looking at the guy when they watch, but they think about it later. If the dudes young, he's bound to be insecure to from lack of real world experience.

  • because girls like you would just laugh at us.

    • I wouldn't laugh at anyone or anything!!! I'm not mean! What do you even mean by saying "girls like me" ? Wtf :S

    • with girls like you, i mean girls like you. girls are all the same. just mean, always hurting guys who, in their eyes, are too ugly to be treated normally by them.

    • No. I'm sorry you feel that way. And I'm sorry you've been treated that way by the women in your life. Most women are not like that

  • i dont have a reson to lie about mine because it is legit 8" but when men lie about there penis it is usually because its a confidence bulder... having a bigger penis is like a statement of dominace.. it makes them more confident... but it is kinda stupid

    • So they lie and say they have big one even when they don't just to make themselves feel better? By imagining that they have a big one? Lmao hahahaha

    • yeah it is pretty fucking stupid... i agree with you

  • Insecurity make them lie about size inorder to look good.

    • But they can't look good if they don't even have it in the first place

    • Just like catfishes same mentality

  • I would all but gurantee that guy is small. Generally I would say not all guys lie (I dont see a point) since if you're planning on getting with her she's going to see it anyway and if you're not planning on that no reason to embelish anyway. That being said some guys do lie, to make themselves feel better I guess if they are small? I don't know its strange. Generally 5-6 is average, 6-8 is above average and 8+ is big

    • What are you trying to say? I don't get it. Do you have a typo or something?

    • Pretty much that there's no real reason to lie since if u do it to get laid she will find out the truth. And that statsisctally avg is 5-6 etc

    • Hahahah yeah. And if she's rude she'll be dissapointed and make it known.

  • It´s a immature behavior link to the concept of virility. p*rn has promote it and it's one of the main reasons a lot of guys have lied about their size and others just brag about it. Not so long a go I use to be immature in that sense, I decide to grow up and stop focus in what really doesn´t matter.

    • Most guys should decide to grow up too. Then again, a lot of the young ones are immature

    • Time will tell.

    • What will time tell?

  • Probably because they think if people knew they were small then they would have to constantly put up with being abused about it.

    Think about it. When was the last time you saw something said/written about a small penis that was not a joke, insult or a comparison to some hate figure.
