Get a ruler/measuring tape/whatever.

Turn hand over so you are looking at palm.

Find the last crease in your wrist before the palm starts.

Measure from there to the very tip of your middle finger.

Post your results (cm).

Congratulations.

ps. pleeeeeeeeeeease!

I have small hands for a man. I'm 6'4" (that's 1.93m for you self-righteous nerdlings) and, well, my hand length is as in post #2.

It does not seem to have any direct correlation to any other measurement on the planet except glove size ... so I'm not sure where you dirty minded individuals are going with it.

Feet and hand measurements have absolutely no correlation to genetalia.

That, and one must also consider that 1/2 of the shaft of the penis is internal. Hence, if you measure your penis and it comes out to, say, 6 inches ... it's actually 12.

Well, it's more important how the 'hand' is used than it's size, right? Come to think of it, we should be inlcuding the girth of the ...ah ... 'hand' also. ;)

Would that girth be straight across, or all the way around?
Possibland

Try both.

(If you were to put the measuring tape all the way around for as long as it would fit, you could calculate the girth and the length by performing some simple calculations involving pi... :D )

22 cm. I've rarely met anyone with bigger 'hands' than me ;)

Out of interest, your hand span is meant to be the length of your face from the hairline to the chin. Doesn't work too well for baldys though this one.
Also the length of your forearm is meant to be equal to the length of your foot. It's pretty accurate.

As for big hands, surely the more important issue is finding a woman with very small hands. Everything looks big then! :p

A 'jandal' in New Zealand is called a flip-flop every else, btw ('cept Oz where they're called thongs*). So best not to use this wee ditty if you ever head over to those shores. You'd be bound to get some odd looks.

I'm a baldy, and my hairline WAS past the length of my hand (I also have a kind of long head). My feet are 28 cm (11") but my forearms are 33 cm (13"). Guess I'm some sort of stretched out mutant. :(
