It takes no time at all to find bigger. Thus I think she had just as likely, though with only a handful prior, came across bigger. And that is fine, but just tell me and be honest. Despite her being my wife, I just don’t beleive it. I KNOW there are bigger a plenty so why not. Just lime averages and stats, I just don’t get how and why this wouldn’t matter to women.
An analogy I just thought of is if you had some piece of shit looking crapper car, but it was fast as hell. Say 13sec qtr mile. Then there is a clean ass nice Porche that is loaded and nice as could be inside and out. It too does the 13sec time. Which one would most everyone pick? The better looking one. Regardless that both get from a-b at same rate, why not go for the Porche because then you also have the bragging rights of "I have a Porche" leading to the instant "let me see it, can I ride in it". Do you see what I’m saying? Or did I go too far off there?
BDD is body dysmorphic disorder. Body dysmorphic disorder - Wikipedia
Your question illustrates what I’m talking about. You are trying to reinforce your (mistaken) belief that all these bigger dicks are prevalent when in fact they are not, so you undermine the validity of evidence brought to your attention that would discredit that belief. For example, saying all the studies are old or too small a sample, which isn’t true. And then you elevate to a totally unwarranted level of credibility, the oddball and anomalous evidence like internet porn, and second and third-hand anecdotal information.
Do you see how this behavior functions now? I mean, do you actually realize that this is what you are doing?
I think that overcoming this obstacle is the most critical part of being able to think more rationally about sizes and averages. Start with reading Invisible’s thread on average penis size, look at all the links, read the comments and questions made in the thread, and his answers. You aren’t the only one suffering from this problem.
And your car analogy to me makes sense: you’re saying that the concept that bigger is better must be a truth with women, because of the visual appeal? I mean, there’s probably some truth to it, but it doesn’t translate into some kind of automatic preference. Besides most women hook up with a guy not knowing what size dick he’s got. And most women only marry men they’ve already hooked up with so they are clearly accepting of whatever size the guy has.
Let me be frank: If you really have a reason to believe your wife is lying to you, if you’ve asked her if she had bigger, then it should be because of something other than your insistence upon that likelihood or probability being a virtual *certainty*, rather than the statistically slim chance that it really is. Do you see what I’m saying? You don’t have a good reason to suspect she is lying to you. In your post above you provided some rationalizations that are to you quite convincing of what you *want* to believe, but they aren’t actually "valid". Does that make any sense?
I think we all feel your pain. Many of us either are or have been, in your shoes. (Of course with the exception of being your size. Not many of us are that big.)
