Is it just me

Or do a lot of members here jam the ruler 1+ inch in their fat pads to make it seem like they are bigger than they actually are? I always thought bone pressed was supposed to be barely touching your bone not stabbing it to add another .5 inches. Although I have to admit I’m kind of skinny so I have only .5 inches of fat pad so I don’t know enlighten me fellas.. I remember looking at the guy with the mushroom in his avatar (sorry I forgot your name but you have a big unit) but it only measures 7.75 and people were going crazy because they thought it was like 8.5+ but he said he measures the right way. Isn’t this how we should all start measuring?

Measure - ruler on top, barely pressed into your fat pad standing/sitting but keep measurement pics the same and understand sitting makes it a little bigger.

The reason why I posted this is because I see a lot of pictures of guys claiming 8+ inches but they JAM the ruler to the side of the dick while sitting which we all know can add 1+ inches. An 8 BPEL cock that way can actually measure a TRUE 6.5 BPEL so I’m fucking confused on why some guys want to trick themselves into thinking they have a ‘huge’ unit. Lie to us but not yourselves fellas cmon.

Eh, hard to say. I don’t think people are lying to themselves just because the measuring metric is unclear. The most important part is just measuring the same each time to track growth. If you’re jamming it as far as it goes, it’s fairly accurate measurement to measurement.

Even your way of ‘barely pressed into’ can give quite a bit of variance.

I agree. I’ve seen some member pics and its clear that their sitting and moving the ruler further up into their pubic region claijming that they’ve gained an inch. But the stupid thing is that they took the “before” picture in a different position than the “after” picture. My advice would be take before and after pics in the EXACT SAME position so you won’t be lying to yourself because in every different position, your penis appears longer or shorter depending on how you are positioned. Sexual positions justifies that statement. The right way to measure is standing up pressing the ruler as far as it can go on the top of your penis to the pubic bone.

Well I’m not debating on measuring the same way each time I’m just saying of all the people that claim 8 inch cocks 1/10 of them actually have a true 8 inch cock. It seems these forums are more of a show off / race place than actual results. I mean 8 inches is fucking HUGE if you ‘measure’ yourself 8 inches but it’s not big then you are not 8 inches bottom line. Not trying to be mean here but trying to slap some fucking sense of reality into some of the guys here.

True…That’s why I measure mostly NBP (well I meaasre both ways so….). My fatpad doesn’t vary much so when I see gains in my NBP I consider them legit. (For the PE stats page, I measure BP).

I would think that if you were pushing in at the same place on your pubic bone each time, you can’t push ‘too’ hard. You are pushing into bone, how is bone going to give? If you barely press then that isn’t really bone pressed. I just press fairly hard, same every time. I’m sure that some people do play camera tricks and different ruler positions, but as far as bone pressing, who’s to say what’s too hard or soft? And if done correctly it shouldn’t make much difference should it?

Oh that’s where you are totally wrong. You can press hard enough to where the ruler bends, press in different locations etc etc the list goes on too many variables to give people a false sense of having a large dick. I have a 5.7 girth when comparing it to other people with the same girth I look like I’m 7 inches around. Am I the only one measuring right what the fuck is going on?

Blackfuryy has the right thinking here. Bone does not give. No side measure but dead center.

Press until you hit the bone and it wont go any further; hence the name “bone pressed”

ChiefDante, why worry about it? It’s true some people are delusional but it does no harm, except maybe take up space. I’m mostly obsessed with my own progress so I don’t give other people’s fake gains second thought.

I’m not going to stop you comparing your dick pics with other people’s but maybe it’s not worth it since they’re all fake? You’re probably not going to be changing their behavior anyway. If they’ve managed to delude themselves, nothing will change that.

Dude, live your life. Fake length fucks no pussy, so let them be and mind your business, ya know? They know the truth, and even if they can’t admit it to themselves, their women know it for sure.

Jamming the ruler as hard as possible is wrong? Disagree. I also disagree that all are doing it to make their dick look bigger or to up their measurement. The very good reason to jam that sucker all the way (until it won’t go any more) is because then, and only then have you established a non-arbitrary “zero” for your future measurements. That said, I agree that it IS important to make sure that you’re stabbing the ruler into the same spot on the fat pad every time. you are correct to say that tweaking the placement of the ruler into the fat pad can yield an erroneous measurement.

I agree with the others, why worry? Bones not going to give and measuring in the same spot over and over helps monitor growth.

Must just be you dude, as I don’t see bone giving any… Measure the same spot in BP and I don’t see a fault.

For measuring I use an architect’s ruler with graduations adjusted for the 5/16” blank space at the bottom. Seems to work best for me and doesn’t bend.

Everyone’s not gonna measure the same way, we can try to teach everyone the ‘standard’ way that is accepted around here. Alot of people might not know the correct way while some may be trying to be deceptive.

Well I don’t know I guess I’m just upset that every time I look in members pics people are congratulating a certain dick size that claims to be very large when in reality we all know it’s not even close. I just don’t see the point in being overly nice.. I’m not saying be negative but I don’t like being lied especially in a place like this when we are all supposed to be honest and work together.. Kind of like group therapy if you will lol. I know many members here actually agree with me because I see an occasional ‘are you sure?’ or ‘maybe you should add a ruler to that’ which is never proven or when it is proven is all fucked up and pressed to the side etc etc. I lost count of how many posts there were of a guy claiming a certain size that went unproven even though repeated requests were given. I don’t know whatever I was just hoping people would get a reality check because I get a lot of motivation from these forums but it seems to be lacking a lot of ‘moral fiber’ as of late.
