Do all men measure their penises??!

I was married for a million years and now divorced and trying to date. In the last week, two men I have chatted two have told me how long their penises are !!! Is this the 'thing' in this day and age??!!
Last night, one stated that he was more of a giver as his penis was only 6 inches and 'nothing spectacular"!
Maybe I'm just old !?!??!??!?

That would be an instant block and delete from me.

Grim.

SurelyNott · 15/06/2021 07:44

I’ve been OLD for years in and off and only 2 man has mentioned the actual length of his penis, and that was because it was 11 inches and an actual issue (I did get a photo it was, we didn’t...).

I think you are unlucky or need to get more picky about who you speak to!

Poorlykitten · 15/06/2021 07:44

Probably just setting you up not to be too disappointed. I think a lot of men do but probably did so when younger. There’s so much pressure to be ‘well endowed’.

SurelyNott · 15/06/2021 07:44

1 man not 2!

spotcheck · 15/06/2021 07:45

I'm old.

Every single man I've been with has known how long theirs is.

I reckon they all do it as a teen

Yes, I have spoken to every man on the planet and each one is handy with a ruler.

AttaGirrrrl · 15/06/2021 07:47

I think they all know how long it is, but I’ve never experienced anyone telling me, even on OLD.

blueroses2021 · 15/06/2021 07:48

I just find it bizarre that they feel the need to tell me prior to even meeting!
Should I be whipping out the tape measure to measure my labia?! LOL!!!

I imagine most men have measured their penises during adolescence but anything after that seems little odd.
After 2dc I have a fanny that could stage a full production of “Hamilton” but I certainly wouldn’t bring it up with a virtual stranger.
Still, poor man, he’s obviously been deeply ( or not so deeply Wink) disappointing to somebody in the past, it has made him sensitive.

VienneseWhirligig · 15/06/2021 07:51

Ugh, reminds me of my ex, who made me measure his (admittedly huge) willy after I remarked how big it was. To be fair it was the first one I had seen (only saw one other up close and personal since then) and it was a monster, but he was so taken by the idea it was huge that he needed to know exactly how huge. Narcissistic prick.

Love2cycle · 15/06/2021 07:55

I measure my boobs to keep on track of bra size etc.

abstractprojection · 15/06/2021 07:55

I’m sure every man has but as my BF says ‘what are they measuring from their balls!’

Odd to tell you though

Yes, but underpants aren't usually underwired. Grin
Ruminating2020 · 15/06/2021 08:14

I have only had one man tell me how long he thinks it is, when trying to persuade me to sleep with him.

He was a narcissistic prick.

FaceyRomford · 15/06/2021 10:13

Bloke here. Never done it in my life. Neither have any of my mates so far as I know (& it's the sort of thing that would come out over the years after a few pints).

Weedoogie · 15/06/2021 13:55

Not since I was 15....

JustAnotherOldMan · 15/06/2021 14:01

When was about 15 maybe…,

That's the funniest and most cringeworthy thing I have read for ages.
😂😂😂😂😁😁😁😁😁

Roblox01 · 15/06/2021 14:27

I expect most men know how long but can't imagine many want to share surely?

The whole thing around size is a bit confusing as average is 5-6 inches but there's so much misinformation.

A bit like blokes have an unrealistic expectation of sex due to porn it seems some women have a misunderstanding of average penis size.

kittykarate · 15/06/2021 14:31

I've whacked a boob onto the kitchen scale out of curiosity, so wouldn't be surprised if most blokes have had the tape measure out.

copperpotsalot · 15/06/2021 14:49

Of course they do!! How could anyone not?!

Talking about it as part of OLD or chat up routine is grim though

MoChridhe · 15/06/2021 14:52

They probably do. I mean most women know their bra size and if the information were required they would tell 🤷

Is this 'at rest' so to speak or 'when working'? Hmm
