What an interesting question. Which of these two hypothetical people is you and which is your friend? ---

By the time I’m seeing his penis, his height has already been in the picture for quite a while. ---

Guys want big dicks for their own reasons. Whether the woman wants it is kind of irrelevant. I highly doubt that even if women preferred small dicks and made that preference well known, that guys would start being jealous of smaller ones. ---

Just lay it all on the table from the get go, so to speak. The ones that don’t run away screaming or reach for the nearest half-brick are keepers. Sort of by default. ---

I highly doubt that even if women preferred small dicks and made that preference well known, that guys would start being jealous of smaller ones. A bigger one just looks better. Gives us a lot more confidence to pick up a girl from a bar ---

I believe penis height matters more to women than penis size. ---

> [@shocky2002](#): > > But, you may be disappointed with 4 inches… Are you actually reading the thread? The consensus of the actual women in the thread appears to be that penis length is among the least of their concerns - and they’re more worried about it being too long than too short. > [@shocky2002](#): > > A bigger one just looks better. Gives us a lot more confidence to pick up a girl from a bar Ah, that’s why I’m not on the same page with you. I don’t pick up women from bars. And also penises, like toes, just look weird at _any_ size. I can’t imagine any size of them looking better. If course as a straight man I’m not really the guy to ask for esthetic opinions about penises anyway. ---

Heterosexual male ---- I would rather be 4 inches taller. But then again I am old and that may play into my answer. ---

You’re telling me that, shortly after meeting a woman, you just unzip your pants and take out your penis?! 😕 ---

By the time a woman finds out how big your penis is, she’s already made her decision about you. ---

> [@Jasmine](#): > > You’re telling me that, shortly after meeting a woman, you just unzip your pants and take out your penis?! 😕 I’m certain that he was being entirely serious and was not joking even in the slightest. But on the subject of leading with your dick, isn’t that what surprise dick picks basically are? (And we know that _those_ are ever-so-beloved by women.) ---
