For whatever it’s worth, I found your “How do I fix my computer” posts somewhat less unsettling.
I wasn’t fond of the “look at me naked” thread either.
BTW, you left off way too many details for purposes of this poll, and I think that’s what’s setting off most people’s WTF meters. I saw the thread title and thought ugh, another TMI thread. I had no idea of the sheer scope of information being requested until I scrolled down through all those options. That shifted it from “TMI requested” to “whoa, kinda creepy” for me.
Its well known that a guy can be off by an inch or two measuring his erection, depending on whether he measures on top or underneath, but women don’t have that excuse. One inch long nipples? BULLSHIT.
I’m amazed also.
And what is really weird is the “it’s none of your business” type response - well if it isn’t than don’t even pop into the thread.
Clearly the thread is intended for the group of people that don’t have a problem with it. How hard is that?
Never heard of Google’s image search feature, huh? I’ve seen 1 inch nipples on two different friends who were nursing mothers.
I am at work and don’t have the foggiest clue of the answers without checking. And I’m not gonna check when I get home, either. For one thing, my nipples don’t really get “aroused”… sometimes they get hard if it’s really cold, but that’s about it. And I’m not willing to subject the girls to extreme cold just to answer an internet poll whose answers are pretty pointless anyway. How is this information interesting?
I looked at the poll expecting there to be zero responses. But there are not zero responses. What’s going on? Are you folks actually measuring your nipples?
Who are you people who get so outraged over stuff like this? Are you calling your cable provider to complain about mild curse words and excessive tampon ads too? Lighten the heck up.
Remember the thread that had everyone stuffing their wedding ring up their nose? It’s an odd group here.
I’m not so outraged, I’m vaguely amused and slightly confused.
It is a creepy level of detail to go into about the nipples of total strangers, anonymous or not - and I know of no women who go round measuring the size of their nipples. It had never occurred to me that women might, in fact, measure their nipples in various states of arousal before now.
I’m assuming that if anyone has answered this poll seriously, they’ve had to get out a tape measure to do so - that people would go to this much effort to answer a poll on the internet sort of amuses me. Even if it is an oddly creepy level of detail to ask strangers to share with you.
Nah, I just went through and added checked all the responses that were lagging behind in their respective categories. I like things to be even.
Oh, and I also voted for “I have guy nipples, but I like to vote.” I don’t have guy nipples (I don’t think), but I do like to vote.
Get over it. There have been a handful of polls about penis size, search for them, and sexual preferences and just about every detail of our private lives. They’ve tended to be some of the most entertaining threads to be honest, TMI is kind of our bread and butter around here. Participate or not, that’s up to you, but the righteous indignation in this thread is tantamount to threadshitting and the intentionally bogus responses are actual tangible threadshitting. If you want to look askance at Fear Itself after this thread that’s your prerogative, but save the recreational outrage. Heaven forbid anyone actually make an effort to do something a little creative or off the wall around here to keep things interesting.
And for those of you saying you’d have to get out the ruler to answer these questions…um, are you really that ill acquainted with your own bodies? That’s not something I’d advertise. I’m looking at a pencap right now, I can tell you how big it is without getting out the tape measure. I have a small decorative globe sitting on my console table at home, I can also estimate how big it is without measuring it, hell I can do it without even being in the same city as it right now.
I can’t tell you the size of anything without having measured it or set out to memorize its measurements. I can’t tell you what time it is either without having looked at a clock recently.
But what if the globe was aroused?
Now you have me curious - why do you think it’s creepy?
I’m not trying to argue against your feelings, but if you think this is creepy, then I think you would be very disappointed if you ever got inside a male’s brain - you would discover this is the tip of the iceberg for most males.
Actually, both are our prerogative.
I think they’re about quarter sized, but I don’t know what that is in inches or centimeters. And I am not sure if that’s even accurate. They may be slightly larger than quarters. I don’t have a “nipple length” to measure. My nipples are flat. There isn’t a part that sticks out further than the rest unless you mean the very small hard part in the middle when I’m really cold, but that only sticks out enough to make a tiny dot on my blouse–not enough to measure in any meaningful way. They’re nipple colored. I don’t know how I’d rank the color on this poll. I never think about it. I really don’t pay much attention to my nipples. They’re useless round things on the front of my boobs. They don’t even have any nerve endings in them. If you touch them, for example, I can’t feel it. If you bite them hard I can feel it (and it hurts) but short of that I won’t even know you’re there. Nipples (for me) are useless–why would I pay enough attention to them to be able to determine their size and color and all that? And do they change size when “aroused” (like I said before, arousal does nothing to my nipples–it’s cold that does it)–how the hell would I know? I don’t spend my time in the cold examining my nipples, I spend it trying to find more layers to wear to warm up!
Not sure if any of you have ever heard of The Bob and Tom Show. They have a radio show where they have reported this type of information on the co-anchor Christy. They talked her into going in the bathroom with a tape measure and then they’ve aired the results. It was funny on the radio.
Actually, no it’s not. The latter is against board policy and belongs in the pit.
For the same reason I know the size, shape and color of the mole residing on my left love handle. I see it every day in the shower, I’ve had it my whole life. It’s useless, but it’s part of me. The amount of perverse pride, for lack of a better term, and indignation at the expectation that women would actually know these details off the top of their head is baffling to me. If there were a part of my body that I couldn’t describe in detail, save those few diametrically opposed to my eyes, I’d be pretty concerned about that. Seriously, that’s a fundamental part of being a human being. Do you also not know how tall your SO is? What color your kids eyes are? Whether your mother had dimples or not? All useless facts, but because we are people we know them instinctively.
