I'm going to agree with stud hunter here. I don't think the average woman is thinking 'penis size' when she meets a man.
Most are looking for the person. It also depends on the situation.
Is this a woman who is looking for sex, with no commitment? Well then yes, if you are looking for sex only, size might matter, but just because he's big doesn't mean he knows or cares how to use it.
My husband at a little over 8" is more than enough. I had no idea how big he was and that was the last thing on my mind.
He is a confident man, but he is also a very attractive man, he has accomplished a lot in his life, he has reason to be confident.
If he were impotent, I would still love him and stay with him. There is a lot more to him than his penis, you do the best with what you have.
In my job I see only women, and because I am a part of their life for close to nine months I get to know them fairly well.
I am sure there are women who will tell you size is very important to them, but from all the women I've known, including friends and family, I don't get the impression that they care about penis size.
I do think it is more important to men. I know my husband and his brother were very active sexually before I met him. Being twins they are the same size and my BIL is still not married.
He got close last year but it was her jealousness that broke them up. He is a good looking man and he does turn women's heads, but I know for a fact that has never cheated on her. They are both very honorable, and honor means a lot to them, it is how they were raised. They are also very close and if he had cheated, my hubby would know.
But the the stress of always having to verify where you are, who you called and why you are at the office later than usually was getting to him. He is at our house a lot. Too many times I've had to get on the phone and tell her that yes, he IS here. She did not trust my husband because she felt he would lie for him(BIL)
So he is back to being single and I've overheard he and my husband talking and yes, size does come up.
If he see's someone new, there is the "so, was she impressed"?
They'll make comments on a pair of jeans being "just tight enough".
I don't think most women realize how important the penis is to men. I'm not sure I did either. I knew it was important, I just don't think I realized how important it was until I began reading this site.
This might explain why men feel women would think it is important.
I'm sure there are women that do, but I also think that far more are not thinking of his penis when they meet him. If they do, it has more to do with sex and not size.
Most of us are still- hopeless romantics. If you're a good guy, chances are we'll love you just as you are.
Maybe that's not such a bad thing after all.
