I must have short arms, because every single long-sleeved shirt or sweater that I buy has sleeves much longer than my fingertips. Either that or clothing manufacturers suck.
I buy a lot of 3/4 sleeve garments.
From my understanding, if your measurement from middle fingertip to middle fingertip with arms extended (along your shoulders) is the same as your height, you are of the average norm as far as arm length… 
Edit: My wingspan, last measured was one inch greater than my height.
Get over it. You could have Short Arm Syndrome which is much more serious than having short arms.
if you can scratch your nuts they are long enough. if you can’t then try ambidextrous bowling with a heavy ball. hey there’s two of them.
Are you secretly a musician and judge on a popular musical talent show? Damn. Yeah, you got some short-ass arms, Cee Lo.
Heh.
Thanks for the tip - I have suspected for a while that I have long, monkey arms, and this confirms it.
That’s just what I was thinking - what more do you need?
Hey, speaking of body tips, your forearm should be the same length as your foot. Mine is - of course, I have disproportionately long feet, too (my husband calls them Skis - I don’t know who he thinks he is to talk, though, with those stumpy little things he totters around on).
My forearm is nearly two inches longer than my foot.
Sorry - apparently you have short feet. 
Your arms are too short to box with God.
Yet, it’s always the short armed men with the hot babes!?
They keep me upright. Size 14.
Where your elbows hit on your torso has nothing to do with the length of your arms. That’s entirely about the length of your torso. Many men do have a longer torso and shorter legs, compared to women (it’s rare for even guys over 6’ to need longer than a 33" inseam), which may create the illusion of short arms.
People often tell me I have ‘long arms’, because my elbows hit at the top of my hips - because I am extremely short-waisted, only have a 1" space between the bottom of my ribcage and my pelvis. My armspan is the same as my height, 5’5", making my arms of completely average length. I do have longer than average legs for my height, which contributes to my lanky look.
Like** Johnny Bravo** said, your armspan should equal your height exactly. If it does, there is absolutely nothing short about your arms. It’s very rare for men (more common for women) to have an armspan shorter than their height; plenty have longer.
And like Cat Whisperer said, forearm length usually corresponds exactly with foot length. Very easy to test.
Okay, really long monkey arms then.
Alright, this is gonna drive me crazy.
I can HEAR a guy singing this, something like Bob Dylan. Definitely not recent, not a rap song, but it’s driving me NUTS because I can’t place it.
It is recognized as being from a poem circa 1927, but I’ve heard it in a song that I am quite familiar with but cannot place. Any help?
nm, Wikipedia helped!! I’m a Cherry Poppin’ Daddies fan, it’s from Drunk Daddy
You definitely need to have a short arm inspection.
My forearm is about 1" longer than my size 8 foot (I’m female).
