Christ guys
I don’t want to be malcontented about this, but this is one of the more aggravating threads I’ve read in awhile. Unless everyone was being completely sarcastic, I just read three people’s opinions of measurements here, and all three of them were different opinions on what was “small”, “average”, and “large” and so on. Now either everyone has their own table in mind, or they got them from other sources, which ought to be telling everyone how much of an inexact science “average size” really is.
Who cares? You do…for you. So worry about your goals and not what everyone else considers small, medium and large. The one useful thing here though, was Krowax’s thing about the study measurements being bone pressed. Now that I had no idea of. I always though those things were done non-bone pressed, in which case I just became a lot happier, since my bone pressed measurements add a nice amount to my size.
True size is a fickle thing, whether it’s because you’re on the honor system, like the Kimsey thing, or whether men without confidence run away when they see a female nurse with gloves on, you’re not going to get a perfectly accurate average. If you’re over 5”, you’re starting off fine, and I don’t recall seeing anyone’s measurements in here that were less than that.
Stop worrying so much about what other men are packing, and worry about packing your own heat.
