What's up with guys lying about their dick size?

[902369]

So, like most gay and bisexual men in the United States (and probably elsewhere), I'm a bottom and a size queen. I like big dicks. Hence, my account on this site. Sometimes I'll post on Craigslist looking for hung guys that are at least 8 inches and I'll always get responses from guys that don't measure up. They'll send over pictures of their dicks and (again me being the size queen, or "king" if you will) I can tell that their penises are not 8 inches. I'm also petty and like to mess with people so instead of ignoring their emails, I'll promptly email them back to let them know that I'm specifically seeking at least 8 inches and that their pictures only look 5, 6 or maybe 7 inches at best. They'll usually respond back offended saying that it's 8, but I know it's not .

Anyway, what do you guys do when you're looking for hung and extraordinary but only get average? Do you hook up or jerk off and go to sleep? Why do men feel the need to lie when there are people out there who like average sized?

I have learned to believe very little with a new connection! Normally off by about 1/3

I hear you but they'll be off by at least an inch! Like dude, I'm a gay man. I know a big one when I see one!

often a lot more!

I think some people are genuinely slightly confused about their measurement. Not many though.

Some think it couldn't really matter all that much to an intelligent person.

Others just play a kind of averages game / scattergun approach. If you keep trying with as many people as possible, one or two are bound to stick ...

Others think it's only if you have a very large penis yourself, that you should be insisting on that in your partner.

Anyway. It sounds like something you've seen a lot? You surely have developed a method of dealing with it?

Don't let it upset you. You're in a world where most men have average penises. And where we nevertheless appear to face some psychological pressures to appear bigger than we are. Superheroes, underwear models etc. So - yes. There are some lies.

I'd like to think LPSG can be a positive force toward real openness and honesty ...

There are people out there that play the numbers game. They just ask everyone as often as they can over and over, hoping to catch that person in a weak moment when they will say yes.

When I was single, I'd always arrange meeting people on grindr in a public place first.

All too often, they are nothing like their pics. Some were so different, I'd just turn around and walk away. Yes, that's rude but not nearly as rude as wasting my time blatantly pretending to be someone they're not.

I'm a top so I care much less about how well my bottoms are hung (although it is fun to fuck a guy and suck his dick at the same time). But many guys genuinely don't know how dicks are measured, and asking for a specific minimum as measured in "inches" isn't going to cut it. Why not twist your description to relate to something else in the size you want. You could photograph your dildo next to a common object (like two empty toilet paper rolls stacked atop each other) to specifically show what you'd most enjoy. That would bypass all of the measurement standards and drama.

By the way, the porn industry does not help guys judge what 8" really looks like. My studio never measured me. While my cock is just under 7" in length (5 1/2" in circumference), the studio describes my endowment as 8". They also "endowed" my height with an extra 3 inches!

I'm a top so I don't care as much how well my bottoms are hung (although it is fun to suck an above average cock while I am fucking them). I agree with Exbiker that many guys genuinely don't know how to correctly measure their penis. Instead of playing the 'inches' game, why not describe the size of your preferred cock in terms of a common household object. In your Craigslist photos, include one that shows your favorite dildo beside, say , two empty toilet paper rolls stacked atop each other. This would be an excellent reference and bypass the whole 'inches' discussion, proper measurement process and debate (as well as avoid any size humiliation, which never ends well).

By the way, the porn industry doesn't help guys understand what 8 "inches" really looks like. My studio never measured me - they just took some photos. My cock is just under 7" in length (5 1/2" in circumference), which is a nice endowment that no one has complained about. But in my studio's profile of me, they give me an 8" cock. They also 'endow' me with an extra two inches in height (I'd take that in a heartbeat!).

Good luck, and I regret that I wouldn't measure up for you!

I said that for laughs but you know it's true! 10 bottoms to 1 top lol.

Well dudes are horny, they will do and say anything to get laid. Even if a guy does not properly measure himself, he should not be off by more than an inch or so. Many dude also like to believe they are bigger than what they are. Somehow, 6" is not good enough. 6" and 8"; it's all kinda the same to me, but then again I'm not a size queen! Also...it's the internet. Dudes LIE! They will lie their dicks off. They're like Pinocchio, expect they think their dicks will grow larger and not their noses.

Guys lie about their dicksize because they're indoctrinated to believe that if it isn't a certain length (usually about 8") nobody'll want them. So the ones who feel insecure about their size inflate the measurements they give out, because they think it's the only way they can get someone to agree to have sex with them, figuring that when the pants drop, it'll be too late and the other party will either not notice or 'settle.'

Frankly, we could well do with much better sex education in the U.S, but that's unlikely to happen anytime soon.

Until then, so long as we keep the "Bigger is automatically better" mentality, we'll continue to see guys lying about their dicksize. And the more insecure they are, the more they'll lie about it.

Lmao I've done that, but I was talking to a guy with no picture at the time. So he was sitting in his car in a public space on my university campus, I walked past his car and glanced at him...let's just say he wasn't my type! I just kept on walking.

nellon, you sound like a real winner

Let me ask you this, do you get out a measuring tape and get the exact figure for every guy you have ever been with? Because if you do, then you are unlike everyone I have ever met for sex. You don't do that, because it would be weird...so I guarantee you that cocks below 8" have fucked you, even when you thought they were 8". At least you acknowledge that you are petty. Let me ask you another question: Might it be the case that people like you are part of the REASON that guys who are 7" (well above average!) feel compelled to say they are 8"? Maybe you are self-fulfilling your own prophecy. There actually really AREN'T that many guys who are 8", so you narrow the pool to an almost unusable number when you put that out there. Thus, guys who have big dicks, between 7-8, email you and say they have 8 because they know it is the only way to get in your pants.

If you want to get fucked only by an 8" cock, then the only way you will know that you get an 8" cock is if someone sends you a pic that seems to be real with a ruler or measuring tape next to their dick and it shows that they are 8". Some guys really take crappy photos and therefore their 7.5 looks like a 6 to you, some guys are skilled at taking over-emphasizing photos so their 7.5 looks like a 9 to you. Take a cock of any size on a guy of average height and build. That cock looks bigger on a short guy and smaller on a tall guy, bigger on a thin guy and larger on a fat guy. Uncut looks longer than cut. Thicker looks bigger than thinner.

I think pwrdick and exbiker are right as well, some guys can't measure well, and we are conditioned by the porn industry to think a certain cock size is 8" when it really isn't, so those are two more reasons people "lie" - because they haven't got the correct information themselves.

Of course bigger is always better, I totally agree but I'm never particularly looking for "hung and extraordinary" - if that happens it's great, but I'm more of a top so I care a bit less and when I suck dick all sizes are fine (bigger is always better though). I hear so many times about people meeting and the guy doesn't look anything like the picture but that hasn't really happened to me that I can recall, honest, at least not to the extent where I would have left. I've had two specific experiences where the guy either wasn't truthful about what he was into or in reality didn't really know what he was into but had told me some things; those experiences sucked and ended quickly.

But there's really no reason to call people out about their cock shots; it's just rude. Just say no thanks and move on, or just don't respond to them once they send the pic. idk just my $0.02
