1- You would lie because having a large penis is part of the fantasies of a HUGE part of the male population, as is evident here by the large number of straight men who use this site as a way of exploring this side of their sexuality which is otherwise pretty much closed to them. Because a large penis is idolized in porn, because size is a taboo and we secretly make it out to be what women "really" want. Because of the attention, which you certainly seem to be curious about. Because you wish you had a much larger penis.
2- There IS evidence that you are lying. The evidence is exactly what has prompted a great number of people on this thread alone to tell you that certainly, the size you give here is absolutely no where NEAR what the picture is showing. The evidence is that, when asked to prove your wild and obviously exaggerated claims, you provide us with pictures from impossibly misleading angles. Just for numbers, 12 people have left a reply in this thread to point out that you are full of it.
3- It is this "clearly at the base". The short answer is no, it is not clearly at the base. The long answer is this: if you take a picture from an angle that only shows the end of the tape, which happens to be roughly what you claim (and all that with a camera which could have been placed at a much more natural angle showing all of the tape), then we have absolutely no reason to believe that you are being honest, if 12 people out here have come out and said you were lying. The pictures show that you are using a tape, and that the tape ends at the measure you gave us previously. That's all it does. It does not prove that your penis is that length, only that the tape appears to end there.
Do you see now?
Could it be that (.......) you are lying?
Yes.
You aren't 8.5 inches, you're 8 inches if I'm being very generous. Now am I going to go on and on and on, citing other jackasses to try to prove something that's unprovable? No, because I have a life.
P.S. You can see that my finger is either at the base, or further up my shaft (which would make a smaller not a larger measurement)
P.S. It's a natural shot. If you measure base to tip, you want to get a shot of the tip so that the measurement is visible. I have a tape measure, if I took a bird's eye shot of it you couldn't see what the final measurement is. I'm not sure how it's misleading when the beginning and end are seeable.
Number of jealous jackasses agreeing doesn't prove anything, heck if 12 people agreeing meant something then I guess Bush blew up the Twin Towers, and Obama's from Kenya, and the US gov created AIDS to kill Blacks. Your logic is weak.
BTW: I posted the same pics on a German forum I use (because they're actually inventive), the result? The claimed I was lying, but not about my size! They say I've stolen someone American's pics off the internet, because of the size of my cock in the pics. But whatever, jealous egomaniacs will be jealous egomaniacs. The difference is, one is because I'm claiming to be an American on a German site, which is unusual and makes sense to cause distrust. The other is because your egos can't deal with well endowed Teens.
