Why is everyone on Grindr claiming to be 8X6

They want to attract size queens and hope their cute face and sparkling personality will overcome their shortcomings.

it is an american crisis. it is also confirmation that the actual median length of a penis in the united states of cock is slightly under 6 inches. Science!

R2 good point. Anything under 7 inches is tinymeat and is anathema to good sex.

Gross.

I knew a guy who said he was 8X6 but he was six LONG and eight AROUND. EW

Because people who lie like that are too stupid to think of the consequences. How many times have you read about guys connecting on hookup sites and one claiming he's 25, 6'2", 195 lbs. and muscular, but when the hookup arrives he's more like 50, 5'8", & 275 lbs. Some people are simply incapable of worrying about the consequences of their actions.

Isn’t the thought that once they’re in the room, the hookup will go ahead anyway, despite the cognitive dissonance, since reality always differs from expectation?

People lie. Welcome to reality.

Anything over 7 inches is a pain in the ass and a TMJ trigger.

This was discussed in the early 90's and we decided nothing could be done more than looking at pics. By now, everyone should be quite good at evaluating the real size of a dick based on a pic. People could send fake dick pics but that just humanity. At least a pic is 1 extra step. If you don't get a dick pic, and size is important, you can decline in front of the small cock, or just don't make the date.

I'm not a size queen at all, BUT, don't fucking lie. I've had several guys before who took very strategically-angled pictures, and claimed "7 inches" then they show up and it's 3. Perhaps they meant 7 cm?

That is almost a given these days.

OP = unsatisfied bottom

How do you even measure the length of your penis? Is there some sort of international convention?

You measure from the top. Factoring in if there is a big bend.

Damn, that’s a total killer. If you seriously hope to get laid - underestimate, don’t overestimate. A guy should be pleasantly surprised, impressed you were on the up and up. Laying out that you’re just a liar on something easily disproved puts everything you’ve claimed in question.

If a guy tells me he has a perfect, tight smooth bottom and what shows up is huge, hair and flaps like shanty irish curtains in a March wind - I’m not fucking him. I’m also not seeing him again. He’s a liar. If I lied about my cock, my waist, my age, my hair - hey, I’d expect the same

Agreed.
