Why is it that gains can't be recognized immediately?

I am beginning to think that this happens for the same reason that we could not see ourselves steadily growing when we were children… Every day, a friend or relative would say “Oh, look how tall you are growing”, and you look in the mirror and you HONESTLY do not see yourself as any taller. But at the height we are now, we KNOW that we grew taller… Could gains from PE be like this too??? Because we see our dicks every day, LITTLE gains are almost invisible? I mean, I know my dick feels heavier (thats for sure) but when you look down, it doesn’t look like it’s longer. Damn, taking a picture before I started PE would have been the best bet…Oh well…

I dont believe that is the case, nearly all men pull out the ruler and measure their penis. This gives a definite figure and it is something to go by. If you didnt measure it then that could be the case.

I am a very slow gainer and don’t whip out the ruler unless I think I have gained something. That works better for me. Measuring your dick every week ” week 24, still no change”, would be very depressing and counter productive. And yes, I know what you meen. I expect that the fast gainers feel like some Sci Fi experiment, and are very aware of the changes.

Every now and then I will realize that I dangle and flash back to when my willie was smaller when soft. Also, I haven’t gained a lot, just starting to close in on the +1” mark.

Hey,

I’m totally in tune with imaru, I am a slow gainer and only measure in 3 months intervals. Still, I think of days when my tallywacker was a lot smaller flaccid. Sometimes thats hard to do depending on how you feel though. This past week I have had a minor fever and haven’t been eating right and my little friend has shrunk up, which kind of gets me down, but oh well, I try to stay positive ‘cause all I really want is another inch, which I figure I can get within 6 months.

With me I can tell, it’s obvious I’m bigger even though it is only a tad so.

Inches are miles in this system.

No…I know about doing that..I measure consistently WITH a ruler…But I am saying that gains are kind of like gaining height…Your doctor can keep on telling you that you are getting taller after he takes measurements, but when you look at yourself, you dont SEE any difference…

Alrdybig, you are 100% right my friend.

I can relate EXACTLY to what you are saying - you ARE growing, but at a rate that is slow, just like how one would grow in height, not noticeable to you as you see the old pecker every day but very noticeable to other people (hehe).

Sometimes I look at my dick and it looks as if it hasn’t changed since day 1, but when I get out the ruler this is by no means the case at all !!!
