Sorry, folx, as a cheap bastard free-account holder, I'm unable to create a Real Poll® but I'd appreciate if you'd provide your feedback nonetheless:
1. When a guy has bragged to me about the size of his equipment:
A) I have always blown him off as a pathetic scuzz-loser
B) on at least one occasion I have hooked up with him, either because of, or regardless of, his claims
2. When I have hooked up with a guy who has bragged to me about the size of his equipment:
A) I have invariably found him to be telling the truth
B) on at least one occasion I have found him to have noticeably overestimated the caliber of his endowment
3. When I have hooked up with a guy who has overestimated the size of his equipment:
A) by that time I no longer cared either way: I was with him because I liked him, and could forgive his initial insecurity with me
B) I have never gone with him again cuz he's superficial and a liar
C) I have bailed on him on the spot cuz he's superficial and a liar
Please take advantage of the fact that you can modify the above text in your answers, or explain in further detail, cuz you're replying manually and it isn't a Real Poll®.

3. Hmm.. if I ever were to hook up with someone who exaggerated, I would have to really, really like him to continue seeing him. If there was lots of buildup, I'd be very disappointed. Why brag, if it's not true? I mean, if we did the do, I'd find out anyway..
I've found that size does matter. Length does not necessarily matter, however.
That's about it.

Date: 2005-08-09 02:47 pm (UTC)See, this is exactly what I don't get, which prompted my fake poll in the first place. If a guy bluffs, then he either bluffs unsuccessfully or else he bluffs successfully for a little while and then his bluff inevitably gets called!
And yet research shows that guys consistently overestimate the size of the packages they are expected to deliver. In fact, I read that the reported average size of said package has decreased significantly over the last fifty years -- but only because earlier research depended on guys filling out surveys, while later researchers actually did their own measuring! As soon as they listened to their tape measures instead of "how the guy answered the question about himself", the average man lost about an inch and a half!
[Speaking of which, if I was ever a subject for such research, I'd want my measurement to be taken by a person of my own choosing, in order to optimize my results... ;P ]
