Size me up: Is bigger better?
I managed to drag this guy to a chick flick this weekend to see the film Love and Other Drugs. It actually more nudity than your average romantic comedy/love story, so he didn’t complain much!
One of the funnier scenes in the film was when one of the male characters worried how he measured up to his brother in terms of “package” size.
I suppose it is one of the few things men obsess about, almost as much as women worry about their breast size or any other random body part we want to improve.
Although some of us devote some time thinking about it, do you think that bigger really is better?
How much difference do you think it makes when you are trying attract someone?
I am always shocked when men can even guess a bra size. I doubt they rule women out altogether based on that alone, though.
Do you think “size” could be a deal breaker?

Good Morning All,
No size is not a deal breaker..height yes..but man parts size…nawww..that is not a deal breaker. A fellow could have all the equipment in the world and have no clue how to use it..and there are some fellow who are equipment challenged and they are aware of just what it takes to get that jump start.

A nice combination of the two is ideal…long and skinny just won’t do.

Good Morning Everyone! I just want to get my two cents in. Size doesn’t matter but when it comes to overweight men it does. The more overweight a man is the smaller the wee wee is. You can’t do anything with it but make out but even that gets boring. I will never date another overweight man again. Also I like my meat cut. No more extra baggage!!! Going back to lurking now…

@Delight – for the record size matters in both directions – ^5, length and width, thi sis why i cant quite compute Simple’s question lmao….3-330? yeah sounds about right, cant seem to sleep lately lol

Women are sooo funny when it comes to this!!!!I my whole life..I have only known one dude that obsessed be cause he was under-deveolped…But the funny thing is he dated and married the Finest, most desirable chick out of our group!!! Now they were together for nearly 10 years!!! They are divorced now and she looks for every chance she can find to point out his “short” comings….LOL

Ok, so I have been lurking on here for a while, but rarely chime in. So, hey everyone. Not too long ago I met this guy. Nice guy…thought he was going to be around much longer than he was. Anyway, he is BLESSED!!! I was thinking, “All my dreams are coming true.” Guess what? It’s broken. I don’t know what’s going on medically but it would not perform. He was so embarassed. I just kept thinkin’ this beautiful thing is broken??? LOL.

g’morning….
here’s what struck me: “How much difference do you think it makes when you are trying attract someone?”
Can a female hide her breasts? So if she’s top heavy, or lacking, a guy will notice that right off the bat..he either likes what you have, or he doesn’t ….”us”, on the other hand……guess ya gotta wait and see!

I’m sooo glad to never have had that experience..so glad. I’ve been with a short man and it was umm different. He had mad foreplay skillz and knew of other ways to satisfy but I still didn’t feel full afterwards.

The size will be in her mind….you can “break a back” on any woman..but your one trick will wear thin…she will need more down the road…I mean even when i was in my alternative lifestyles..i would hear some of the ladies say…i have to work up to such and such he is too big or i still need my insides..etc etc…so i guess size matter in that setting..but its different for every woman..but no matter the size if you have the emotional connection then the body will follow

Saying just because a man has a larger package in his pants automatically makes him a good lover is the same misconception and immature way of thinking like saying every woman with a pretty face and nice body has good sex and will treat a man right; or every larger figured person can sing; or every skinny person is healthy; or all short men have a complex; or all nice men usually finish last(< – - that is true is one area but that’s not what the topic is about); and on and on and on.
I mean really over the age of thirty (25 is more realistic but…) a woman should be pass thinking all a man needs in his pants to make his a good lover and worth her time is the inability to wear regular sized condoms.
His average 7in length inserted in her average 5in depth is a perfect fit.
As long as the fit is snug, his stroke is right and the pressure points are on the mark all is good.
If a man is not patient, accommodating, attentive and knowledgeable the size of his member is irrelevant. Just because you can get it up to get it is does not a good lover make. Without the right start the finish will be quite unfulfilling for the woman.

I don’t many know woman that are looking for a meaningful relationship that are going around sizing men up anyway. For me before I even got to see what a man was working with I was already well into liking him. I, I guess fortunately, never found myself in a position where I liked the guy enough to even go there with him just for him to drop his pants and send me running for the hills. I don’t really know a woman that has done that.
I have one friend that told me the guy bragged about his size before they got together physically and was not what he said he was but that didn’t stop her from dating and being intimate with him. He still had a working member despite his non-truth.

@ Sassy- you’re right about the shorties. Their skills in other areas are amazing! They know their shortcomings. Apparently this “dead tree” knew of his inability to perform because he was extremely gifted in other areas as well.
I will say this, I would rather have average. I hate short, it makes me angry. Too large has its downfalls also–bladder infection anyone. Average with skills is the best by far!

hey,what’s up? lurking a lil bit but attentive.
On topic.
I think it matters if everything is well proportioned..not too big and not too small.
I don’t luv those beluga breasts tho!
and they better be firm, if u still childless.
Like 2Can said,with us dudes,chics have to guess and assume the package is str8 untill such time he takes a wiggle.
Happy Monday!

Rell, I agree. Having my cervix rammed with a blunt object is not how I like to spend my evening being‘loved’. In fact that has a very negative effect on my ability to stay aroused.

Raqi…..that “beat-down” you speak of…..now, that does have it’s place; for me, it’s usually after a night out with the fellas, and the testoterone level is off the charts….
you call her while enroute, and let her know….”gal, when I get home, get ready, cause it’s on!” Not only are you ready, but she’s looking forward to it…..

My husband is a breast guy but when he saw the Jill Scott Butterfly on morning on the Today Show (I think) he said that is an example of too much of a good thing. He said he ain’t trying to get smothered. LOL
That’s the same way I feel about a man shoving his “foot” up in me. No thank you.

so lets see, no shifting of internal parts, no cervix ramming, no stitches or ice packs… i think you can wrap it up by saying (unless you have one of those chicks who likes it rough) if she says “Oww!” somethings amiss, lol
