Hands - Do you size up a man by them?

Girls, when you first look at a man, do you size him up by how his hands look? How much do hands matter to you? Do you immediately make a connection between hand size and his size downstairs?

As a man, I ask this because my hands (and feet) are parts that I am insecure about. Mine are quite small as my wrists and ankles come to a taper compared to my upper arms and legs. I'm 5'9" and my member is a normal size: 6-6.5 on a good day, 5.5 on a bad day, and good days are much more frequent than bad days. But I'm worried that girls look at me and assume because I'm not tall and I have tiny hands that I am seriously lacking down in Man World, and they immediately view me as not being sexy.

Only a really shallow girl would worry about such a thing! Iri

LOL...there was a similar debate on a different board about this. Women know there is no correlation between hand (or foot) size and what is what downstairs. That is like a man assuming that a woman with bigger breasts would be a better lover.

Glad to know that you have more good days than bad days! lol (just teasing)

I won't lie to you and tell you that women don't have certain preferences off the bat, just like men have. Some women do prefer tall men, hairy men, hairless men, thin men, stocky men, curly hair, straight hair, no hair, six-pack abs, some love-handles to hold onto...etc. That is where your sparkling personality comes in. Look, I am hardly a dog, however I am not going to appeal to a man that prefers the long-legged, dark-haired, exotic beauty type.

However, as far as what you are talking about -- no. Most women aren't giving the size of you penis a second thought when they are first meeting you. Not to say that they aren't wondering what kind of lover you would be -- but that is a totally different topic.

Just have confidence in yourself. My former bother-in-law used to be insecure about his wrists and ankles. He felt that they were too long and thin -- he would go out of his way to hide them...long sleeves, double socks...etc.

The irony here was that all the women I knew were so hot for him -- yet he focused on his so-called flaws (as he perceived them). Boy, did he let some prime opportunities pass him by -- if you know what I mean.

To paraphrase Forest Gump -- Sexy is as Sexy does. In a world that worships youth, I feel sexier today at 44 than I did at 29. Just do your best to feel comfortable in your skin. good luck.

Are you good looking? Well groomed? Have a job? Have a pleasant personality?

These are the things to be concerned about, not your hands. Other than, of course, clean well-groomed fingernails.

I don't think most MATURE women size a man up by his hands. The love of my life is only 2 inches taller than me and has almost the same size hands, naturally they're rougher and weathered like a man's hands sometimes are. But, this is no reflection on his "member". A better rule I follow in guessing his size is how over weight the guy is. I have heard and it proves true in my experience, that for every 10 lbs over weight you are you lose an inch of length. This obviously isn't true for everyone but that's my experience. My little handed man is no reflection of his size. And FYI- size matters only a little, more depends on the chemistry and technique.

Wow I was surprised that a man would worry about that but in my experience it's not an issue. My husband is about 5'8" and lean but it is no reflection on penis size. He's got everything he needs and knows what to do with it. I think woman might joke occasionally about that subject but no one takes it seriously. There are many things that woman find sexy humor- intelligence - attentiveness - confidence - smells nice (no hygenically challenged men please) etc. You may want to spend some time checking out the boards where woman post their concerns. It seems we all worry too much about the externals.

I don't believe any woman who has had any experience at all would correlate hand size with penis size.

Seeing as how I'm "blessed" with modestly sized hands and feet,
could you tell me more about these "shallow" women I keep
reading about and where I might meet one?

I don't and not many women I know do either. Question: do you size up a woman's potential in bed by her big her breasts are?
