Size doesn’t matter…

…it turns out, it depends what gender you are. Men’s preoccupation with the size of their member may actually be because their eyes are further apart than women’s eyes. And women always thinking that they are too fat may be because their eyes are too close to each other.

An interesting study shows that the further your eyes are from each other the smaller you perceive things to be, and the closer they are together, the bigger things appear to be. So when women say that penis size is not that big a deal, it is in part because women see their partners’ penises as bigger than how their partners perceive themselves. And when women see themselves in the mirror, they actually do look bigger (to themselves).

I wonder if the eyes of many anorexics are statistically closer than the average. And you know those big muscle men whom are just never satisfied with the size of their muscles – maybe their eyes are statistically wider than the average guy. Of course, it’s not all in the eyes, but it could be a contributing factor.
Girls, the next time you think you look fat, your eyes may be fooling you.
