Question for men: Is height actually correlated with genital size?

I’ve always wondered about this.

People say that taller men usually have bigger hands and feet, so does that also mean they tend to be bigger down there?

For guys who are 6 ft or taller, is there actually any truth to this, or is it just a myth? Just curious if height has any real connection to that or if they’re completely unrelated.

Should I double text after first date?

I had a fun first date couple of days ago, and I like this guy. But he doesnt text/respond quick. he hasn’t reached out at all but if i initiate the convo, he’ll respond. What should i do? He knows I like him too. Should i text him first again or wait…? I want to know if i need to move on with someone else or not.

Sociosexuality & Dating Preferences in Gay & Lesbian Adults

Hi everyone! 🌈

I'm a researcher at James Cook University in Australia studying attraction, dating preferences, and how people evaluate potential romantic partners. 

I'm currently looking for heterosexual, gay, and lesbian adults (18+) to complete an anonymous online survey.

The survey involves viewing a series of fictional dating profiles and answering questions about attraction and relationship preferences. It takes around 5–10 minutes to complete, is completely anonymous, and participation is entirely voluntary.

Although this phase of the research is limited to heterosexual, gay, and lesbian participants, it forms part of a broader research program that has included, and will continue to include, people of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.

This study forms part of my Doctor of Philosophy research at James Cook University and has received approval from the James Cook University Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC Approval No. 25H-0225).

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at kaitlyn.gregory@my.jcu.edu.au.

If you'd like to participate, you can complete the survey here:

genuine question, and if you say emotional connection or anything like that you’re dumb as a rock

In a tough spot.

I’m 26 and I feel like I’m fighting tanks with just a stick. Cut off contact with my brother who is just a dick to me because he feels that his shiny job is enough reason to treat me like shit. Parents are too old to get bothered with it and so they let it happen. Thus, I can’t attend family gatherings if my brother is there.

Family aside, everything else is shit. Single since the pandemic, became a workaholic. No dating. Finished law school while working night shifts at a disco, went from bar tende to managing 48 people. Finished law school, did two masters. Got a job in Amsterdam, then got a job in Germany. About to lose that govt job to internal rules applicable to temporary staff (I’m a replacement). Now I feel like the last three years are a blur of studying and working. Time is slipping out of my hands in the sense that I feel like I’m not doing what I’m supposed to be doing - i.e. travelling, seeing friends, hobbies. I’m just grinding day and night - I’m on a family holiday right now and after a week I feel more tired than from when I left work to come here on holiday.

I’m just working and getting by.

Do men just avoid married women or is there a problem with me?

I’m trying to get out of a marriage but it’s hard cause we’re immigrants and got kids.
Husband is already helping himself on the side from time to time and now I see men, crush or what not but they never approach or ask me out.But what could it be? They don’t want the baggage? Some bro code? Are single men repulsed by the Mombod?
I’m in Canada and it seems like men of all races avoid me.

Does it mean anything is he unblocked me after one month?

So basically my ex blocked me about a month ago on every single social media and today his username came up in my search bar when I was searching for something with the beginning of their username and I saw that he unblocked me. I would guess he unblocked me yesterday. He told me he lost feelings and was talking to another girl and then he blocked me. Does it mean anything or should I just ignore it. I will 100% not reach out. Is he like missing me or just checking if I would notice. My problem initially was that I would never stop communicating with him and I would just keep texting and having convos with him. But after the last time he blocked me which was last month. I have been stern with me not contacting him or talking to him ever again. I was afraid of him reaching out and I wished that I had blocked him first but now that I have the opportunity I just cant do it.

Hot guys of reddit, have you ever been down bad for someone less aesthetically attractive than you?

To be clear, I don’t need a pep talk. This post is purely inspired by my homegirl (don’t come at me ladies - she is a very natural Euro *beauty* just not a Instagram/Gen Z style/pop culture beauty fyi). But what she did do is manage to land her *that guy*, 6’5 social media adored, Mr Model house mate just by being her autistic ADHD self: being the smartest, most interesting person in the room, and then absolutely sledging him with brutal banter for 6 months. Dude was so down bad for her that his whole social group apparently knew about his crush before she even did - which is very on brand for her but also my favourite detail possibly ever.

We live on the Gold Coast Australia, which is A SCENE for the influencer, reality TV crowd. Which old mate does fall into. But it would appear that no matter how thin/fit/attractive you are, it’s what’s inside that counts \[*cue Mr Roger’s theme song\]*

Anyway, I love their little “how we met” story, pestered her silly for details for the last month and officially mined that well dry. But I did start wondering if it was actually that much of an anomaly, or are the Hallmark cliche’s true (e.g the suntanned popular male model actually does find the brainy/nerdy brunette who isn’t falling all over herself to get him secretly really, really attractive?)

So, resident smoke shows of Reddit, has this happened to anyone else? Talk me through the male psychology here, fellas. I am sat and fascinated (and yep - would love to repeat HG’s surprise result)
