Calling 8' by 6" average size shows a lack of respect.

[Pegasus]

Funny enough this style of thing comes up a fair bit . Girl tells guy his 8 by is average, she has seen several bigger, even though she has had only a couple of lovers etc. Of course this is terribly umlikely and I thought it may be a deliberate ploy to knock the guy down by showing disrespect for his penis . Two things were then suggested, firstly that calling an 8 by 6 average, is not disrespectfull and second that the girl might not know it isn't average. The first point would make the second moot, so here i am polling it .
We now have a third suggestion from Tjt ,that top 1% might right fully be regarded as average, so for instance a 6' 6" guy might rightly be regarded as average height.

When did I suggest that??... I think many girls just don`t care enough about to notice if a dick is big. My ex was like that, she didn`t care about size at all, she had had many partners before me, but didn`t notice anything special before others pointed it out to here. Then she agreed, but didn`t really see what the big deal was
The girl after that, was with her for a year and still have sex, DID make a big deal out of it from the very first time she saw it. But she had already heard about it I think. Girls are different, some notice or care, some don`t. By my experiences I would say that most don`really care that much if it`s not about extremes. I actually have had way more comments from guys who has just seen me flaccid.

How would you define what is overweight, underweight, pretty, handsome, etc? The average is nowhere near 8"x6", so to call it average would be telling the world you don't know what the hell you are talking about. Besides, if a dude told me that was the average, I would tell him to drop his pants right now and show me how big he was - a very, very good chance he would be less than that. On the other hand, a small guy who "thinks" 8"x6" is average simply needs to be educated. I don't see where disrespect comes in at all unless you directly insulted someone by telling him his cock looked like shit.

What is regarded as overweight or underweight ot tall or short is usually delt with via percentile. So if your bmi is in the top whatever % you are regarded as overweight and if it is in the top X% you are obese..
As stated at the start I am not interested in if they are ignorant of the truth.

I would think that calling an 8" by 6" penis average shows a lack of respect , but it has been suggested this is not so.
Note this does not deal with if it is a deliberate, just if you feel it shows a lack of respect.
So for instance this may be the first penis she has ever seen, ( lived with Nuns) and she didn't know better.
Understandable and all, but not the question . The question deals only with how you feel about the assertion

This would become a question iof if the disrespect is deliberate . I am asking about how the assertion makes you feel.

Again tjt ignorance by them that they have shown disrespect, or indeed indifference to it ,is not the point. The only point is if you feel they have shown disrespect intensional or not, indifferent or not.

When you say this .

And what is considered big or small is individual from person to person.

The suggestion appears to be that each person can decide what is considered average without reference to usual percentile norms.

In reality it will never be average and thats a fact. For some women it will be more than they have ever experienced. To others it may very well be all they have experienced ( those women are more likely to have had very few penises maybe even just 1) and to the women who have had several partners they will have experienced a variety they will truly know the difference even if they dont know the size. Then there are the ones that think 6x5 is 8x6 and dont know any better and they screw the entire picture up. I was face to face talking to a girl in my neighborhood the other night and asked her flat out what do you consider a "Large Penis" she said my ex had 12" and I really didn't like it. I said what do you think about 8" and she said thats probrably a good size. I kinda doubt he had 12" but I didn't say anything and dont think she really knew what 8" was either. Anyway it is what it is and peoples life experiences and opinions will always vary.

I thought the question was simple and clearly worded, yet guys keep going off on tangents.

Ignorance could be an issue here.
Now, if someone is 8x6 and is called average, that is an insult. Because if you actually have that size you are NOT average.
If someone is under that and told that 8x6 is average it is either ignorance or being disrespectful.
It would be something like telling your girl that a DD is average when she is not.

I am going to answer it how I am taking the fact that men and or women will say that an 8 x 6 is average.
In the cases where many men here say it is average or that the average is bigger than studys show, I find that it is indeed very disrespectfull. Most men are no where nere that size as an average and the men who have worked so hard to get there no this is a fact. It insinuates that all the hard work they have put in is a lie and that is disrespectfull in my opinion.
As far as women saying it is average or that you are less of a man because you are say, 7.25 x 6 is also disrespectfull and usuall meant to slam on a guys manhood, again very disrespectfull.
The only case of non disrespect would be for the totally ignorant ones who know no better. that may not be disrespectfull but it is ignorance.
I am going to have to choose yes, its disrespectfull.

This is a hard question to answer. If you lined 10 men up 9 being average and 1 being 8x6 and then let women comment Im sure the 8x6 would walk away with the top prize. In the real world peoples experiences vary just as thier opinions do. In the end I would love to get comment on my penis but I usually dont and as much as I may want it I dont feel any penis Deserves respect its the man who deserves respect. A total asshole with a 7.5" cock who thinks women should respect him for it deserves to be enlightened on real life. A man with a 5" cock that treats his woman like she should be deserves respect.
