Hi, i'm 5/6 but inches and some girls told me that i'm big and some others that i'm pretty small, just one told me that i'm average.
Many of them told me that i have a perfect sized dick: sounds like a nice way to say "sorry, i can't tell you that you're big"
I didn't feel hurt, I like my dick anyway.
Guys tend to think the penis size charts should line up perfectly with perception. In other words, if 5.75" length x 4.75" girth is the averaged penis size on a chart then guys think that should be considered a medium sized penis. However, her perception of what constitutes a medium size penis depends on her experiences, vagina size, his body size (how it looks on him). I had a gf who had been with just two previous guys and one was 8.5" long and thickish (he was very proud of it and even measured it in front of her, and ran around on her with other women. He once wrote a letter to her apoligizing for "tearing up pussy all over town") and the other was even longer than him. She said she would bleed sometimes with the 8.5"er and the other she often bled. I was 5.75" length x 4.75 girth when we went together and after we had broke up I later heard that she said I had a small penis. I knew she didn't think I was big, but had thought she at least considered me average size. Also, Another ex said I had a small penis. She had been with some guys before me, and they were all bigger except one who was smaller.
SereneBlue posted a couple or so weeks back about her perception scale not matching up with guys' who are using penis size charts to go by. I don't clearly recall her scale right off, but I think the OP's size didn't make it into the big category.
While it's likely that anything over 8" is probably going to be considered big by most women (provided it has good girth to go along with it), there are plenty of women that can handle more. If she can handle a 9"er or even longer, then in her mind he may not be all that big. For instance, a woman 5'10" may be considered tall for women (and seem tall to other women), but to a 6'1" guy she isn't really all that tall. If a 5.75" penis seems small to a woman (the ex I mentioned) who couldn't hardly take over 8", then it must surely seem smallish to the women who can. If the average woman can handle up to 8" before any pain begins then my guess would be that 25% of women can handle 9"+ before any pain begins. Their scales are not going by penis size charts.
