Poll: Does anybody here measure?

[Something Amyss]

I honestly thought this thread was going to be about cooking/baking.

I must be getting old.

"How big is your saucepan, lads?"

"Let's pull 'em out and measure!"

I'd say the topic was treated with an appropriate level of maturity.

Maybe it's because I have the mind of a six year old, but yeah. This thread seems to have got the exact maturity level it merited.

 

[Zen Bard]

Yep. I'm ten inches. Just like everyone else on this thread.

Or did you mean when fully erect?

 

[Branindain]

The upside is, everyone sabotaged it the same way, so you can easily read the graph of people genuinely answering the poll alongside the outliars.

Looks like a relatively standard bell curve (as it would be) with the vast majority in the 6-7 inch centre. Not as wide a distribution as the world of innuendo would have us believe.

Interestingly enough, in statistics it's not uncommon for the survey/poll options at both extremes to be discarded.
The reason being, anyone who wants to sabotage a survey/poll will vote for one of the extreme options at either end.

In fact, most legitimate surveys and polls that are conducted in seriousness, have deliberately exaggerated poll options at both extremes.
That way, when the votes for those options are discarded, minimal 'real' data is lost.

It says so much about humanity that scientific researchers have had to master the art of smartass neutralisation.

Another piece of data is this: around 60% of responses seem to be genuine but around 90% of the actual posts are taking the piss. There's a message about personality types in there somewhere.

honest

Welp, this thread went out the window before it even had a chance. But allow me to throw you a bone, buddy. Instead of feigning size, feign confidence instead. You'll find you'll be "plagued" for the next X(xx) decades to .... come. Good god I hate myself for these puns.

 

[Wintermute_v1legacy]

I have my results. A very respectable 7,654 kilos.

 

[Caiphus]

Some nonsense about rulers

Hopefully it doesn't bend like them. That could be awkward.

We used to have sword fights with them in school and yeah, it was always awkward when someone brought a bendy one.

And I'm not talking about rulers.

 

[Sassafrass]

About 68980 millimetres.
On a good day.
With a very powerful magnifying glass and fantastic lighting.

You aren't selling your title very well! If you want PMs for n00dz, you're gonna have to tell people it's 2 metres long!


Or dress it up as a clown. Then it won't hurt so much when people laugh at it

Well, 68980 millimetres is about 69 metres, so...ladies.
Or gentlemen, I don't discriminate.

 

[Arakasi]

Of course I put 10+. It's strange that we should care about our anonymity at all but willingly honestly put such private information online.

What is private to one man is not necessarily so to another. I'd rather someone know the size of my penis than say, actually see it.

Interesting that when people make polls about something related to sex, people immediately sabotage it. Really mature there internet.

"Let's pull 'em out and measure!"

I'd rather not. I was just making the point that there are different levels of privacy, that they differ between people, and that my penis size isn't the highest thing on my 'keep private' list.

I'd say the topic was treated with an appropriate level of maturity.

Because honestly wanting to know about a sexual organ is deserving of mockery?

 

[TheRookie8]

4-5 would be my guess, perhaps even longer if "ahem" we're factoring in room for improvement.

Judging from the results, though, it looks like I'm part of a "shrinking" minority.

Little bit.

Because why do you even WANT to know? I don't see how the contents of anyone's pants besides our own is relevant to our day to day lives. Are you worried it's smaller than average? Well, if it is, having it confirmed won't help. Do you think it's bigger? Well, have fun getting an ego boost at the expense of other. You just want to know the information? Google motherf*cker. How seriously would you take this question if it was women measuring vagina sizes?
I can't think of a single mature reason you'd want to know about the state of someone else's genitalia unless you had a vested interest IN said genitalia.
You can take it seriously all you want, bro, just don't expect everyone else to.

I don't care myself, but I don't think its right to sabotage the guy's thread just because you don't. 'You shouldn't care about this' has never been a good argument.

We've had threads on here asking about people's height, and no one was immature about that, saying people shouldn't care, why is this subject any different?

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

I'm >= 254*10^9 pm roughly speaking give or take a few hundred femtometres. Although, I'm quite pleased with where this poll has gone.

Because this subject has been historically inaccurate outside of controlled environments which an internet is probably the furthest thing from a controlled environment. Averages on "normal" internet discussions of this tend be 7 inches which is just not the case as far as the controlled tests go. Then you also have people rounding up when they shouldn't and no standardised places to measure.

This is like trying to investigate the relationship between force, mass and acceleration while the force provided is just you pushing a toy car and saying "Eh that was about a 5 Newton push". While the car is actually a brick, with no wheels.

 

[Jodan]

16cm thats right i think metric makes it sound better

 

[Alcamonic]

About the size of my feet. That's how far it reaches anyway.

Of course, that's not even its final form!

 

[FrostyChick]

All of the above.

All kept in a box under my bed.

And all clean and ready to use.

That is what we're talking about?

Yeah, I know I don't have anything to say here, just being the inevitable snarky lesbian posting in a dick thread.

That may be an apt analysis, were this trying to be a scientific study. Again, height measurement analogy. People who are short may not want to report, etc, etc.

As someone who's 6'4" I always figured mine was average because porn. then I met a couple people who did porn in person and realized that everyone was a lot shorter than me and I'm pretty big just by virtue of being proportional.

Anyways what I'm getting at is before I could measure I fell dickfirst into a dry blender that was running on the floor and it got ground up and what I'm left with is this deformed piece of flesh that resembles a curly fry.
