Due to a pituitary issue when I was younger I have maybe a bizarre world record of the smallest feet and hands on a fully grown man. My feet and hands are normal looking but very small. They were tiny as a baby and just never grew that big. Thought you all would find it interesting - I know it makes for good chat at parties!

Don't worry, variation in a population is expected. Even if you're an outlier, that doesn't make you weird!

[-] shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago

Uhh.. so who's going to ask..?

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

OK, I will:

OP, how big are your nipples?

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 10 points 6 months ago

Pretty average bro

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Nice. Me and you bud, in the average nipple club.

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

PENIS.

Penis penis penis penis penis.

Penis.

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 2 points 6 months ago

I could be in the average penis club as well. Luckily I have ridiculously small hands so by comparison I'm Ron Jeremy.

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 4 points 6 months ago

For international readers, that's a size 2 in UK/Australia, and approximately a size 33.5 - 34 European.

Apparently it's also roughly a 210 - 215 mondopoint length.

[-] brb@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

34? That's child sized feet?

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 months ago

Also a body height of 1.85m, to make the conversion of units complete

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 1 points 6 months ago

Thanks for the conversion guys.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Well.....you know what they say about tall guys with tiny feet, right?

.....that they're sick of the penis size jokes.

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 2 points 6 months ago

Haha why is this so true? Luckily whatever made my hands and feet lilliputian didn't affect any other part of my body.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Ypu're lucky! I once hook up with a huge guy, handsome, big in every way... but the penis. He had a micro penis that looked like a kids penis. I felt so bad for him. Just hook up anyway because he was good with his hands.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Handsome man who’s good in bed and gets laid… maybe your pity is misplaced

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I'm sorry but if you have any problems they are not mine. In no place did I pity him. We actually went out other times and he was super smart. I feel bad because I know people that would be mean to him but Pity is very different. I'm not a prostitute that would have sex with someone for pity

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I felt so bad for him

That read as pity to me, but good, I’m glad it isn’t. I don’t even have a penis, so no problems here, lol.

[-] Jumi@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

That is indeed mildly interesting

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 1 points 6 months ago

I thought you might think so!

[-] Nutteman@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Im 6'1 and size 14. I hate buying shoes lol.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

You want some of mine? I’m a size 12 and it’s hard to find shoes in 12. Most places carry a smaller selection, so I can usually find shoes, just not shoes I want.

[-] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I’m always yelling out “who are these men with tiny feet!?” In frustration while shopping. I’m 5,11” but wear size 12. The worst part is I didn’t realize I was a comfortable 12 until well into adulthood. I used to buy 11 and thought they were supposed to be snug, my feet hurt a lot. I bought a pair of 12 high top adidas and my feet feel so much better

[-] 58008@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Do your smaller-than-average feet have any appreciable effect on your mobility? If not, I have to wonder why we need these clown-ass feet at all. Waste of meat and leather.

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 1 points 6 months ago

No not significantly. Obviously I've always secretly wondered this as well. I could not imagine walking around in size 7s...let alone size 10s or size 13s! That just seems like so much foot to me. I feel like I'd be stubbing my toes all over the place and they'd be so heavy as well. Saying this, I know that no one could possibly understand this as I'm the odd one out here...but yeah, to me everyone has absolutely (too?) massive feet.

[-] GiantChickDicks@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

My partner has size 15-16 feet, depending on the shoe manufacturer. Can confirm, he smacks his toes and feet into things all the time.

[-] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

JAAAAAMES Baxter!

[-] HowAbt2morrow@futurology.today 1 points 6 months ago

Real question: any issues standing up and keeping your balance?

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 1 points 6 months ago

My calf muscles and foot muscles have grown larger I think to compensate and keep me relatively balanced, but I'm still a klutz and trip all the time. Can easily lose my footing if I'm shoved in a crowd for example. But yeah for the most part can walk and run fine.

[-] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Op does this cause issues like foot pain or anything like that?

[-] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

How big is your penis.

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Well... OP...?

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 0 points 6 months ago

About 6" so pretty normal I think

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

That's a fairly standard girth, how about length?

[-] Doombot1@lemmy.one 0 points 6 months ago

Size 3 US? That’s tiny!

Read through the comments because I just assumed this was some sizing scale I wasn't familiar with, but nope. US size 3! That's wild. I'm 6'3, size 13 wide. I never really got to wear kids shoes, so I was always jealous of the other kids who had wheelies and stuff.

Dude, for me, get a pair of wheelies. Live my dream for a day, alright?

Also, you mention your hands are also small. Does that cause any issues for you? Youve answered a million questions about your feet, but I'm curious if your smaller hands cause you pain when carrying things, do they make it harder to type? Any advantages? Are Pringles cans much more enjoyable for you?

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 3 points 6 months ago

Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I'll definitely wear some wheelies for you bro. Have to admit I'm pretty jealous of your size 13 wides...I wish I could get a decent pair of adult running shoes like you could I'm sure. So with my hands I've found playing some instruments quite difficult - especially guitar where I've struggled to play some chords and needed to get a 3/4 size guitar. Hand shakes are also awkward - both men's and women's hands can kind of dwarf my own. But yes, I guess the benefit is that my hands are much more nimble - I can easily reach things under the fridge and am pretty handy despite my handlets.

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 0 points 6 months ago

How do you find shoes? I imagine there's not a whole lot of selection of adult shoes at that size.

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 3 points 6 months ago

Mostly online. Women's sizes are all too big so can only wear kid's sizes. The trick is finding something without Velcro and superheroes all over it (though I have a cool pair of Optimus Prime sandals just because I can). Converse and Vans are reliable.

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Running shoes and dress shoes are particularly frustrating though. Sneakers in a size 3 are not designed for the wear and tear a 6'1" man is going to put them through so I'm buying a new pair every few months. Dress shoes as well are hard to find in designs that don't look like clunky Communion shoes.

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 1 points 6 months ago

Thanks for sharing! Have you ever considered getting some sort of custom shoes made?

[-] Eldest_Malk@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

As a 6’3” guy with size 16 feet, I have arrived at the same conclusion over here at the opposite end of the bell curve. Love my Converse and Vans.

[-] Khanzarate@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Where are you getting converse that size? I'm size 15 and the website doesn't seem to offer it, never seen it in stores.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
