How do you feel about small hands?

brawly said:
It never really occured to me until I started working out and getting big arms, but I have small hands. Trump hands, if you will.

I'm 6'3" (190cm) and my hands are 7,4" (19cm) long.

Feels bad, man.

I don't mind, and I think with Trumpaloompa, that his hands aren't actually that small. People just laughed at it to see if it sticked ;). And it did, the man, baby as he is, couldn't deal with having people make fun of him. And well, then people will keep making that joke. Had he not cared, it would have died down ;).

The reason his hands actually look so small is also due to his oversized suits ;). The man has a terrible tailor really.

As for hands on guys, well, I guess I'll admit that semi-large hands catch my eye. There is such a thing as too big, though.

Sadly I understand your struggle :(

You just posted something that says it's below average in the UK.

Haha alright but 0.2 inches is basically nothing so I guess my point is that it's not really particularly small. Also, you'll notice that for women it says 6.77" on average which is more than half an inch smaller.
 
I've got kinda-small hands. They're not noticeably tiny or anything, but yeah, I think they're smaller than the average dude's hand in relation to my height. Never been an actual problem, though. Plus, I never mind small buttons on controllers.
 
What an odd thing to notice, OP. Did someone tell you that you have small hands? Have you noticed that your hand is regularly engulfed in other dude's mitts when you shake hands?

I wouldn't worry about it.

That said, I do recall a weird ass conversation in law school with a bunch of girls in the library who talked about how most of the guys in our class had really small hands. I hadn't noticed it until they mentioned it, but dammit...they were right! Fucked me up because I would actually hold on to their hands a little longer whenever we shook to compare.

Let it go, my friend...just let it go.
 
As someone with small hands, it's hard to have a grip on stuff without being clumsy and dropping it. Broke lots of things because stuff just slips out of my hand, had to switch from an iPhone 6 to a SE for that reason. It's also hard to hold on to weights when lunging/other physical activities.

Sure, but you said normal-to-large, not normal.

Yeah I put a case with grippy back and sides on my Iphone 7 plus for just this reason. I like the size and camera on the thing, but my hands don't really wrap around it well.

I find it annoying when bowling or playing basketball, cause my hands aren't really as good with dealing with the size of the ball even if the weight is fine.

It's kind of goofy cause I'm bigger and taller than some guys, but their hands usually dwarf mine. I have giant feet though, which is more of a pain as a woman for finding shoes that fit without being irritating or ugly.
 
According to google my hands are average length, but they're skinny and delicate lol.

Sometimes I notice women with thicker hands than mine haha.

A lot of Japanese girls used to say my hands are pretty, but my pinky is now crooked from when I broke it, so I don't even have that going for me anymore.

Fair enough, I guess mine just probably look proportionately large due to my scrawniness. Now I'm gonna be thinking about hands for the rest of the afternoon, thanks OP.

My hands are exactly the same size if it makes you feel better.
It's just like in Deadpool.
 
I'm a pretty stumpy guy only 5'8. My hand length is 7 inches which seems some what short I guess, but I've got a big palm. Weirdly I have big feet for a short guy. 12 1/2"s.

I never really put much thought into it until this thread though.

yeah a lot of controllers and small hands don't go well together. especially xbox controllers



Its always amusing to me to compare my hands to hands of guys who are just an inch or so taller. my hands are often a good inch or two shorter

wow that is small.

My hands are really small, about your size but im 5'5.
 
Is there even an average hand size for men? I'm sure there is but I've never heard it before.
 
I never knew there was a thing about measuring hands. I'm the same height and my hands are measuring 22.5cm long.
 
I'm not sure if I have small hands, but I always assumed they great if you started working out. Wouldn't it look weird if someone with small hands had big muscles?
 
Mine are probably the same length as OP except I'm 6' tall. Other factors come into play though like how proportionate the different parts are.

I think the consensus is that men prefer delicate hands that are smaller than theirs and women prefer more strong hands that are larger than theirs. I can't say my preferences differ in that regard.
 
I have small hands with thin fingers. My dad once brought home a banjo, told me I had a musician's hands and I needed to learn an instrument. I'm pretty sure he was high as fuck, though, he never mentioned that again. And I may have small hands but I have no musical talent so it didn't work out. I've also worked in media or programming or something non-physical my whole life, so my hands are soft. One time my Mexican girlfriend, who didn't speak much English, picked them up and said, "Like a woman's."

I still have a huge cock, though, as is mandatory to get a Gaf account.
 
I'm 5'3 and have 8 1/4in hands going from base of palm to tip of middle finger.

If you go from outstretched pinky to thumb it's 9 1/4in.

Then again I'm 5'3 and I have size 11 shoes.
 
I'm about 6 feet tall and have small hands, or at least I've been told, never measured them. I dunno, I never really think about it unless someone brings it up.
 
Never got the small hands meme. If they are abnormal small, ok, but then you are literally making fun of someone disabled.

Small dick? Of course everyone gets the problem here.
Short? Being tall has many advantages.

Small hands? There isn't much of an issue except maybe when you play pro basketball or so. On the other hand, you are much nimbler, which helps with other issues that are much easier to relate to for me.
 
19cm or 7.48 inches is the average hand size so I wouldn't concern yourself too much but can't find average for people around 6ft.
 
I have below average hands for my height (5'9). Thankfully I have popeye forearms, which are accentuated further by my small hands hehe.
