I understand that big dicks are perceived as desirable, but why would you purposefully lie about your size? Not only just lie, but post measuring pics as "proof" using angles/tools that clearly show you giving yourself at least an extra inch that's not really there.

What do you gain from this? Is it strictly an ego thing where you sorely need to delude yourself into believing you're more well-endowed than you actually are? Are you trying to attract more hookups? If the latter, how does it feel when your hookup calls you out on the false advertisement?

I ask because I'm genuinely curious. I have always wished I was bigger, but have never felt the desire to claim extra inches that I don't have. In fact, I briefly dated a guy years ago who firmly insisted I was at least 8 inches, though I never claim more than 6. He was at least an inch shorter than me, maybe 2. I insisted I was 6, but he also insisted he was 6. Clearly one of our rulers was lying, and I'm 100% certain it wasn't mine. We were only together for about a month due to reasons completely unrelated to penis size, so I never pressed him on the subject. I was also much more timid about such topics at the time.

Curious to hear your thoughts.

I use bone pressed measurements ; pressing the ruler above the penis .

Hope that’s not cheating… it gives me a half inch because I have a fat pad now that I’m older.

In my early 20s I had no fat pad so my bone pressed and non bone pressed measurements were the same.

I do it because I like the bigger measurement … and it’s more useful as well.

Most people don't know how to properly measure so they think whatever angle is the same so I think it's not an ego thing perse and more of a kind of misinformation, some even after learning about it prefer to stick to the old measurements because they think it's something that defines them. Also people are really bad at estimating sizes, and since a lot of guys are straight they can lie more easily since girls don't really have a framing point. Some of course do it to ego boost as well but I think the vast majority is just not knowing how to do it

1 word - acceptance
They are looking for validation of their manhood and to cope with Insecurities.

it’s easier to just go be a man- build your body and mind and the rest will just fall Into place.
Sure - im blessed in many ways and grateful- but I don’t need a measuring device to prove that.

I have so many guys exaggerate their size. Even when they send pics, the size can be deceptive, clever angles, ultra closeups, no other frame of reference all go to deceive the eye.
But, why? As soon as they meet someone and start something, they'll be found out as a liar.

I think they are either:
A) deceived themselves, particularly if they haven’t seen many other hard dicks (remember most guys I blow are straight and married)
B) working on the assumption that you’re not gonna say “hey, that’s nowhere near the 7.5 inches you said it would be!”. And actually that’s right, I’ve never dissed a guy on the size of his dick.
C) hoping that they are not gonna be asked to get dressed again and leave. Which is also true… I would mostly just suck them off as quickly as possible, and never invite them back again.

@GayLadsUK Do you actively seek out guys with bigger dicks? If a guy sends/posts an honest-looking pic of a smaller-than-average dick, does that disqualify him if he otherwise meets your selection criteria? No judgement... again, just curious.

How is it more useful? Where is that extra half inch getting you in that you were forbidden before?

What you describe is basically the ratio of every pic. Everyone try to get a better angle
Think about people on Instagram, expecially girls. I guess dick pics fall in the same rule lol.

Thanks for the great question! I do actively seek out ‘larger than average’ when sucking. I particularly enjoy the feel of more length and girth in my mouth. I am willing to make occasional exceptions, for example if the guy is a big pre-cummer or a heavy cummer. It’s a combination of things really. Interestingly enough, if a guy is a smoker, that pretty much disqualifies him irrespective of size. I’ve tried several times, but I just can’t do it.

Hope that kinda answers. :)

That definitely answers my question, thanks! It also confirms my guess that some people lie to attract more hookups, assuming they won't be called out. The guy probably also gets an ego boost if they successfully hook up with someone who stated they were seeking big dicks.

saying I own a 7.75 NBPEL incher vs 8.25BPEL incher is a significant difference.

Why should I not claim what I rightly own anyway?

Especially when, like most guys claiming to have 7.75 - 8.25, you likely really are sporting something closer to 6.25 - 6.75. :)

I know nothing about gay dating so I don’t know what those men say.

But my length and size I say …., is my actual size…

It’s actually changing too because I consistently do PE every single week .
