How to Tell the Size of a Guy’s Package (And Why Most Signs Don’t Work)
Hands, feet, height, nose — none of them predict it, and the research says so. What the myths get wrong, and why it matters less than you think.
The honest answer, before anything else: you cannot reliably tell. Not from his hands, not from his feet, not from his height, and certainly not from his nose.
Every one of those has been studied, and none of them holds up well enough to be worth acting on. The one thing researchers have found a measurable correlation with is the ratio between the index and ring fingers — and even that is a weak statistical tendency across large populations, not something you can apply to the man sitting opposite you.
So why does this article exist? Because the question is a reasonable one, the internet is full of confident nonsense about it, and there are a couple of things genuinely worth knowing — starting with the fact that what you can see tells you very little about what you will get.
For reference: the average erect penis is about 5.1 inches (13 cm) long, which is considerably smaller than most people assume. The gap between that number and what people guess is itself most of the problem here.
“Growers” Vs “Showers”
Before we begin, I want to get one thing straight – there is no 100 percent certain way to figure out a man’s penis size without actually seeing it.
Your assessment will be off more or less.
The main reason is that penises fall into two groups:
Growers, who seem unimpressive at first glance, but when erect, show their true size.
And Showers, where you get what you see.
Now, all penises grow a certain amount when they get aroused, so you won’t be able to know the exact measures until you get him in your bed.
You can, however, get the general idea on what he’s packing through several methods.
Each is based on something different, so pick the one you find most reliable and doable.
What Doesn’t Count
There are some old tales about what other male features reveal a big penis size.
Receding hairlines, extra hair on his arms and legs, and the old “the size of his feet” adage.
And while we’re at it, basing your assumption on the size of his nose is pointless.
Why?
Because the myth dates back to the 18thcentury.
Recall all the guys you’ve been with before and see if there’s a correlation between any of these features and their package.
My bet – there’s none.
Approach With Caution
I feel the need to put in a good word for guys of all sizes here.
To make a disclaimer, of sorts.
We have to take it easy on men, as penis size, while a competition for them, is also a source of stress.
They know it can be important to us, to some extent, and they want to be able to deliver.
So, when you try these methods, please, ensure he doesn’t catch you sizing him up.
It’s a huge damper on the mood.
With that said, let’s get down to business.
Observe Other Body Parts
According to Korean research conducted on 144 men, those with index fingers shorter than their ring fingers are more likely to have larger penises.
It sounds far-fetched, but before you completely dismiss the claim, consider this:
As they develop in the womb, male fetuses are exposed to testosterone that affects both finger and penis length.
Another method you can try is to observe the length of his leg from his knee to his hip.
It too is regarded as the most commonly used and viable method.
What’s In His Walk?
Normally, men who sport bigger resting penises have difficulty walking without some kind of saunter.
They also feel and act more confident (but not braggy!), which reflects in their walk.
To be really sure, choose a shorter walk in the park, beach, or downtown.
Glance down every once in a while, and make sure you don’t get caught!
Be Wary – Appearance Isn’t Everything!
He sits across you, and man is he a sight for sore eyes.
Muscular, broad-shouldered, it’s clear he hits the gym often.
So naturally, he’s got to be well endowed.
Wrong.
A man can bulk up his muscles, but his penis will remain the same size.
Not to mention that gym rats who use steroids are known to be prone to a decrease in size and functionality.
My advice would be to withhold your excitement until you see some “before” pictures.
Steal A Casual Glance
During the dating phase, take a casual look southward every once in a while.
Depending on the type of pants he wears, you’ll be able to see an outline, or a hint of where the tip of the penis is.
Funny enough, the fabled grey sweatpants reveal more than guys think.
You can hit the gym together, or the beach, as those are just some of the good date opportunities where he’d wear either sweatpants or a bathing suit of some kind.
The latter will be a dead giveaway with a 100 percent success rate.
“Still Water Runs Deep” – Can I Say Pun Intended?
Believe it or not, even temperament can be a dead giveaway on the size of his “number”.
Men who have larger penises and know how to use it are usually down to earth.
They don’t feel the need to overcompensate for anything, nor to impress you by selling themselves with bragging and blown-up anecdotes.
He is confident that you’ll be impressed and satisfied when the time comes.
Get Frisky
Last but not least, the grinding method.
If you tried all the prior ones, and you’re still frustratingly unable to figure out the size, then the gloves come off.
Figuratively, of course.
Take him out dancing, get him a little “worked up”, then either grind against him as you dance, or “accidentally” touch him with your hand.
Even a moment’s contact will be enough to give you a solid idea of the size and even girth.
Is That It?
I hear you ask and luckily, no!
Try to discuss it with your girlfriends, or even guy friends, if you have them!
When it comes to unlocking male secrets, a touch of male perspective is sometimes all we need to save us the headache of trial and error.
And even if you don’t figure it out, who cares?
Dating is supposed to unravel him to you slowly, and where’s the fun in finding all out much earlier?
BUT!
There is one more way of really finding out.
This might be a bit hard to pull off but worth trying.
Guys, sometimes easily turned on when they hear some dirty talking in the right tonation and the right timing.
Yes, yes I know it’s a long shot but you’d be surprised to know that it works!
Think of it for a second, the moment you manage to get him to think dirty and flow with your words that’s where you hooked him.
It’s not easy at all.
Simply because of the risk that there is that you might say the WRONG words in a bad timing or in a bad tonation.
This might do the complete opposite…
Don’t worry, this is why I wrote all about dirty talking secrets. It’s my best-seller book that helped so many women out there of getting what they desire.
By using the strongest weapon humanity has – Language.
Beyond making you a stronger woman, you will learn how to become a puppetmaster and get him to follow your flow.
The moment you learn how to speak your desires, consciousness, ideas, etc… you will become a woman he will not be able to resist – that might give him a boner and you can take a quick look 😉
Frequently asked questions
Can you really tell a man’s size from his hands or feet? No. Hand size, foot size, shoe size and height have all been looked at, and none of them predicts size well enough to be useful. The finger-length ratio shows a weak correlation across large groups, but it tells you nothing reliable about one individual.
What is the average size? About 5.1 inches (13 cm) erect, and roughly 4.6 inches (11.7 cm) in circumference. Most people guess considerably higher, which is why so many men believe they are below average when they are not.
Is 7 inches common? No. It sits well above average — a small minority of men. Pornography and locker-room arithmetic have made it seem like a normal figure, and it is not.
Does flaccid size predict erect size? Not reliably. Some men gain a great deal between soft and hard (“growers”) and some very little (“showers”), so what you can see through clothing is close to meaningless as a prediction.
Does size actually determine good sex? For most women, no. Girth tends to matter more than length, and both matter far less than whether he pays attention to what you want. Nerve endings are concentrated in the outer third of the vagina and in the clitoris, which is why technique consistently outranks dimensions.
How do I bring it up without being rude? If you are at the point of sleeping together, you are at the point of being able to talk about sex generally. Ask about what he likes rather than about measurements — the useful information is what he does, not what he has.
