My wife pointed out something that has bugged her for a long time but she could never put to words until recently, that I have short arms. Upper arms to be exact, my elbow reaches the bottom of my rib cage.
Now I am obsessed by the idea I do have short arms!
Dammit!
Maybe you just have a long ribcage.
Man, what is it with women and ribs?
If you don’t look like a T-Rex, don’t sweat it. My Dad has short legs. If he’s walking next to someone of the same height, his arse is a good foot lower than theirs…
I have short legs. My father used to say, “They reach from your butt tot he ground. What more do you want?” Your arms reach from your shoulders to your hands - what more do you want?

Maybe she is suggesting you pick up a check every once and a while.
Whatever you do, don’t have your wife inspect them
I have really long arms, and my elbow seems to be at or around the level of the bottom of my ribcage.
This is an easy thing to fact-check.
Stand with your arms outstretched and measure the distance from one middle fingertip to the other middle fingertip. Compare that to your height.
If your wingspan measurement is less than your height, then you do in fact have short arms.
Why would anyone care about short arms? Unless they’re being inspected, of course.
What does your wife say about the length of your…fingers?

Freak!
The easy way to do this: Stand against a blank wall, touch the wall at the top of your head, and without taking your finger off the wall, bend over and try to touch the floor with your other hand.
I have long arms; I can do this with inches to spare. And my elbows also barely reach the bottom of my ribcage.
Try this. Have her stand with her feet twelve inches apart, facing you. Now you position yourself directly in front of her, so that when you reach toward her with your left hand you can place it on her shoulder. Now, with your right hand smack her across the face.
You have effectively demonstrated that your arms are long enough.

I was amused that the article about short-arm inspection was a stub.
I have short arms and my ‘wingspan’ is more than my height. I happen to have very broad shoulders though. I don’t in general understand this concept of short arms anyway. I believe Lincoln once said a man’s arms need to be long enough to wipe his butt.
If you can jerk off and wipe your ass, you’re good to go.
Not at the same time.
I think she is worried about the length of the wrong part.
The OP is lucky. I have too-long arms and tiny hands. I look like Kermit introducing a guest whenever I walk.
