Why don't penis size correlation myths die off?

Dear PE Friends:

I reget to inform you that I am forced to end my course of PE. I have decided that it will be too expensive for me to have to buy new shoes, gloves, pants, rings, etc, once my penis reaches humongous size. It has been a pleasure meeting all of you, but given the current financial climate, I am afraid that I will not be able to afford the other bodily changes that will undoubtedly accompany PE success.

STOP!!

Once you hit your goals you’ll be able to afford it because you won’t have to drive a big truck/suv or a fast car to compensate for inadequacies below stairs. You can sell the big stuff, buy small and then re-wardrobe.

I’m happily driving a Protege in an Italian silk suit.

Yup! I’m already looking to sell my Porsche and Ferrari as they soon won’t be needed anymore. :chuckle:

Once I saw something on some “news” show and they brought up all sorts of new results about all sorts of topics, one was that the only (!) connection they found in a big survey was the index finger. This still seems strange to me since people with long index fingers don’t have very short other fingers, they are all big or all small so it doesn’t make a lot of sence. However they said if the ring fingers of both your hands differ a lot you might have bad sperm, many men with sperm quality problems had different fingers on their hands.

Guys,

Some place here on the forum is a shit load of information about this type of stuff. If I remember correctly (occasionally I do, not often though) all of this hand, foot , nose stuff is bullshit. A very, very slight correlation with height, if I remember correctly.

The definitive answer, I’d say, is confirmation bias — which, incidentally, lies behind a HUGE amount of bad cognition, here and elsewhere!

P.S. Thunder, to answer your question on the other thread, I’ve been trying to limit myself to lurking this month, since I’ve had a ton of deadlines. Posting can get addictive once one starts :) .

I can make it so PG. If that will help, let me know.

I think this is right. It’s sort of what I was trying to get at with what I said about people and how they notice things like new cars once they have it themselves. If they already think there is a relationship between something, they will look for confirmation and will disregard any evidence against the correlation.

Yeah I remember the thing on the Discovery Channel about the ring finger.

Basically what I understood was that it’s a difference between the length of the ring finger and the index finger on the same hand.

What I saw was a scientist pick the winner of a sprint race (track and field style) before the race even started and he got it RIGHT!.

What he did was he measured the ring and index finger of each runner (not sure if he used both hands or just the left or right), and his theory was that the longer the ring finger in comparison to the index finger meant more testosterine while in the womb. And also if the index finger were longer that meant more estrogen was present in the womb during development.

I got that if the ring finger is longer = more testosterine

index finger = more estrogen

I hope I explained this well enough.

One more thing………

What I meant to say in the last post is that maybe if some guy has a longer RING finger than INDEX, that could be a sign of a bigger penis.

The trick is to get in and out so fast she never has a chance to judge your size because she’ll be too busy complaining about your 2 minute brother status.

needgirtha - my indexes are both very slightly longer than my ring fingers. Just goes to show that no matter what kinds of corellations or ideas are out there which relate penis size to body parts is never ever going to be anywhere near accurate.

understand that any correlations that exist are so weak that it could not possibly be used to predict anything except for a very very very slight chance ot it being one way or another. Then again, it would not be impossible to have a little jockey man with tiny little fingers etc packing serious meat. Moral of the story - don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

And mine are slightly shorter. SecJay is right. What does it prove?

People want to think there are correlations because men don’t walk around naked all the time and there’s no other way of knowing besides seeing them naked.

I think the main reason the correlation doesn’t die is because there’s too many variables mentioned: hands, feet, nose, ears. If a girl is with a guy who has an 8-inch dick and size 15 shoes, her impression is going to be that he has as big dick because he has big feet. It really wouldn’t matter if he had a button nose and small hands. The correlation has already been made in her mind. On the other hand, if the same guy had a 5-inch penis, it would be because he had small hands.

So, we have these variables that we group together, but then also treat them separately to try and prove the correlation.
