being annoyed with dad for commenting on DP's shoe size ?

[kisscsillag]

OK, get message from dad who lives abroad asking what DP's shoe size is. We're going over for christmas, it's muddy, and he wants to buy some wellingtons for us. I text back size 9. Dad replies "small feet !". AIBU thinking that is (a) untrue and (b) a bit rude ? Surely you don't comment on the size of any part of your daughter's DP's anatomy ??? Especially feet. Hmph.

Does your DP care?
Text back 'Small feet, big cock, suits me fine.'

Isn't 9 the average UK men's shoe size?

Is this your dad's stealth way of commenting on your DP's "manhood"?

If so, YANBU. My DH has size DH and the rest of him is all present and correct thankyouverymuch

If the only thing your dad can comment on is the size of his feet, I think that says it all really!

That's odd. Maybe he needs to know the shoe size in european sizes, which is 42 I think?

YABU

Get over it.

Sorry, my DH has size 8!

Men are a bit competitive (or openly competitive) How many times do I hear supposed friends commenting on their friend's guts or baldness

'Small feet, big cock, suits me fine.'

This

There has to be more to it than this one comment surely? Because otherwise YABU. I would think it was small too, but that's because we are all huge

If you honestly think your dad is being snide and it really bothers you for some strange reason, then send back Goblinchild's response.

On the other hand, you could just ignore it and forget about it.

I think you are reading too much into this. Size 9 is average I think so just ignore and look forward to your new wellies!

My DH has size 13 feet and I do get lots of big cock comments, and then nobody knows what to say when I answer 'not especially'

My DP doesn't know, it happened just now. Seems too petty to tell him, DP wouldn't give a shit anyway. Yes I think size 9 is the uk average !

HA HA HA goblinchild, might just do that.

jamielee, I don't know. My dad is a bit of an arse sometimes. It's quite funny because DP is almost twice my Dad's height so maybe he feels emasculated

I think everyone knows the (untrue) correlation between shoe size and uh well wogan size.

So bit random a comment from your dad!

Ah, yes. My dad is short and always used to comment on my brother's premature baldness. Luckily DB ignores him

He was probably making conversation albeit by text.

My DP has only got size 7 feet, but an enormous willy. So I think that is a bit of an old wives tale.

Haha @ not especially!

Yes, there is a bit more to it. My Dad has form for trying to wind me up, for whatever strange reasons of his own. He can be very snide.

Will ignore.

all my partners & men in family have had feet bigger than 9, but I don't know what the average is. Perhaps it is small (same size as me actually). Really it's just a funny comment & not worth getting upset over is it?

Anyway everyone knows the correlation is the length from base of palm to tip of middle finger don't they? (So I have on good authority from some previously very promiscuous gay men)

If i was a man based on the palm i would be seriously packing it (size 7 feet)

(Scratches invisible balls and wanders off)

hmm,dh size 8 and hug like a donkey.

Dh is size 8 .
I have bigger feet than him.

My husband has size 13 feet. At least with size 9 it should be easy to find wellies in the right size - finding shoes bigger than 12 is a nightmare!

Everyone knows it's girth not lenghth that's important anyway maybe you could remind your dad that and tell him your DP has fat size nine feet - I'm sure that would wipe the smirk off his face! hehe

Yuck bit of a weird thing for a father to be txting to DD. I too would be cheeky back and say something about being perfectly formed.
