    Naw. I hear it all the time as a bartender. I think self deprecating humor is the outward intent. (Make the lady laugh)

    But there’s another motive. Manage expectations: If they do happen to see your junk, they’ll be impressed because they assumed you weren’t lying.

    And if you don’t mind me sharing all my side thoughts, let’s be real here. A dude can make your night with three inches and a dude can ruin your night with 8. Size is only just one of many variables when it comes to sexual compatibility but it’s one of the most popular that society focuses on.

    I also don’t know why this is being coached as a gay vs straight thing because in my little bubble of anecdotal evidence, my non-straight friends/gamer friends/customers/coworkers/family focus more on size than their straight counterparts do. But they use the same fucked up humor! Honestly, they can tend towards more raunchy and uncouth humor, which I happen to love. It’s to the point where I’ve grouped many of my facebook friends into their own separate group that I’ll post to so as to not offend or traumatize some of my young and old friends and family.

    The straights are OK. At least the same as they always have been. We’re all a little fucked up, but that goes for everyone.

      These sound kinda smart TBH. I suppose there could be dumb guys who aren’t too macho to joke about having a small dick, but the dumb macho guys definitely tend to be louder.
