I know there’s no correlation. My ex wore a 6 1/2 or 7, and was not below-average elsewhere.

Well, **I** wear a size 16EEE shoe.

Draw your own conclusions.

Does this mean that the average gay guy has bigger feet than the average straight guy?

Well, of course, penis size corresponds to foot size! In general, all the measurements of the body correspond to each other. A taller man would, **on the average** , have:[ol][li]a bigger nose[/li][li]a larger waist[/li][li]bigger feet[/li][li]bigger biceps[/li][li]a longer index finger[/li][li]a bigger penis[/li][/ol]than a shorter man. Everything is proportional.

I don’t want to hear about individual cases–we’re talking statistics here.

If you’ve “noticed” that the average penis length is 6.2", then have you “noticed” that you have to wear size 12+, just to be considered average?
