Perception of Tall Men

I do not understand why people think that tall guys have huge penises. Earlier today I was out for a walk with my headphones on but had not selected a song yet. Some guy assumed that I could not hear what he was saying and said to his friend (who was a hot girl), “That guy must have a gigantic penis.” It is extremely discouraging when people assume that I have a large penis just because I am 6’5. The reality could not be further from the truth as I measure in at average or slightly below average. It is the worst thing in the world to be overestimated and then see the look on a girl’s face when she realizes I’m only average. Anyone else have a similar experience? It has gotten to the point where I no longer want to hook up with random girls for fear that they will be laugh at my size. I am so paranoid that I try and get with less attractive and shy girls in hope that they will be less judgmental about my size. How can I get over this size obsession/fear that I have?

Well when I see a guy standing a foot over my head and is big boned I can’t help but think damn his cock has got to make mine look tiny. I have been overestimated at other things in life and it really is a horrible feeling when you know you can’t live up to what people have in their heads.

Slib, I hear you — I think many tall men and Black men (or, probably worst of all, tall Black men!) fear contending with the GIGANTIC COCK stereotype. Even such men with legitimately larger than average penises sometimes are concerned that their partners expect them to have John Holmes or Mandingo equipment. All I can say is that I really think most women with even minimal experience or worldly knowledge tend not to believe such stereotypes as much as you may imagine they do. If you look around at women’s penis-size discussions, even on other web forums, one of the most repeated things they say is “you can never tell what they’re going to be packing.” There’s a frequent refrain about how they’ve been with tall guys with tiny ones, short guys with huge ones, etc.

It doesn’t take a psychologist to figure out that that guy has penis issues :)

Maybe not penis issues but maybe found Slib attractive and was telling his female friend oh I bet he has a big cock? lol

You’re right, if he was into guys that’s probably all it was. If he’s straight, though, it’s more the fact that he said it to his “attractive female friend” than the fact he thought it that I think is suspect :)

Ummm, this is my life story. I am 6’5” too and my whole life up through college I had numerous girls tell me to my face that they bet I have a big dick, when in actuality it is average (or slightly above average depending on what you think average is). Anyway, I like you, avoided lots of potential hook-ups b/c I was self-conscious.

Now that I’m out of college and a little bit older I kick myself for passing up those opportunities. You didn’t state your size, but unless you are well below average I would try not to worry about it. Yes, some girls might be disappointed. Don’t sweat the small stuff (no pun intended) and go out and enjoy yourself!

My GF, who’s seemingly seen a lot of cock, swears up and down that penis size is linked to height and that tall men have bigger cocks than their shorter counter parts. Just goes to show that for a woman its all relative to her individual experience and related sample size and of course the infamous luck of the the drawer.

I have come to the conclusion that in general, larger men have on average a larger penis, volume wise, not necessarily length. But even so, being tall does not guarantee anything.

baywatch, some studies do support a correlation between height and dick size. The problem is that the correlation isn’t strong enough to give much predictive power at all for an individual case, and that’s why it seems that most experienced women say that they’ve given up on trying to guess a guy’s penis size.

Slib - just be happy you get to the stage where she’s looking at your cock! Being only 5’4” I’m often not even on the menu for many women. Just look at any classified ads and you see many women post minimum height, even when they themselves have cow dimensions.. :p

But the upside is that when they do finally “give in” to being with someone shorter than they are they are usually shocked to find more down below than they were expecting.

hmm, also a tall person (6’6) here, also average penis size… (see signature)
All of the girls that I’ve been with couldn’t care less about penis size, they were too busy rolling they’re eyes with pleasure…. It doesn’t matter at all if you ask me, just like having abs doesn’t really matter if you want to get a girl, it’s all about your self esteem, and if you need some magical abs or a bigger penis to get self esteem, you either get over it or start training accordingly, as simple as that.

Para, maybe this girls not as experienced as I think she is. You make a good point.

I’m somewhat relieved at this posting just being that it is possible that the taller man may not have a gigantic penis. I say this coming from the other end of the spectrum, I am 5’9” and my size is in my sig which i’m confident in, but would like to be bigger, and I totally rock my gf’s world everytime we have sex. It has always worried me slightly though because her last bf was 6’8” and thought wow, he must have a hell of a pecker. I know this post doesnt mean that he definatly doesnt have a small dick, but it just allows me to think, it’s possible he was average or even below average. But I still know it is possible that he has a monster also.

Or she’s so experienced that she has accurately detected the small correlation by observing a huge sample ;) All I meant to say is that the idea that taller guys are bigger, on average, may not be a myth — it’s just silly and damaging to apply it to individual cases.

There might be some truth to hand size and penis size. Actually it’s the size of the ring finger in relation to the index finger. If your ring finger is longer then your index finger, it has been proven that the fetus was exposed to more testosterone during pregnancy which might result in a bigger penis and balls. My ring finger is longer, but I’m 6.5in

Maybe the problem is that when we say big penis we automatically think of a size that makes most women bug-eyed. Maybe 6.5 is the big but it’s not big enough! Lol
