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!

16.6 cm .... why?

19.15cm

also why?

To keep it short but sweet: 17,8 cm

Maybe we're all getting gloves for Happy Chinese New Year day and needs to know our sizes in order to ship them on time.

16.5 cm

dum da da dee.

C'mon, we know what you're really trying to measure......

Cool! In black for me please!

20 cm. On the dot.

Yes ... glove size.

18.6 cm

Curious - how do you think your measuring rules apply to women?

Mutant Dogs just wants to know if he has small hands :rolleyes:

That is good for certain activities.

20.5 cm? is that good or bad?

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.

Like playing guitar.

Neither do I, I can confidently second that.

playing the piano

playing the piano
I get told I should play the piano all the time cause I have long fingers. It gets somewhat annoying after a bit. I prefer to point out that they are also more effective at swearing at people :D

meh ... really hand size has nothing to do with musical ability - my 16.6s have been tickling the ivories successfully for 20 years ... like I said ... it seems to correlate to nothing on the planet other than glove size.

Now ... when is the starter of this thread going to come back and save us from this horribly tense waiting game of "what if"s and "Jesus bites my fingernails"?!

A bit below 16 cm.
:(
I have itty bitty hands.

Depends how stoned I am... but seriously, "they're sooo biiiig."

19.5 cm

Nah, in that case, the bigger the better.

If he's after the info I think he is I believe its the measurement of your feet you need.

21.5 cm here.

a bit over 21cm.

Nah, in that case, the bigger the better.

Newp ... my 16.6s have been wailing on guitar for 23 years ... size not matter, only determination matter.

If he's after the info you think he, is I believe it's the measure of your penis you'd need.

Feet and hand measurements have absolutely no correlation to genetalia.

Well, fair enough. It depends on the guitar, too, I guess.

LOL! Absolutely, right on! :D

right so everyone beat it up and measure. Remember, the scientific way to do it is along the top.

I do have to wonder how long a thread asking everyone to measure their penises would last before it got locked.

Hrmmm ... what brave soul would like to try it?

Let's draw straws. *draws longest straw*

*draws longest straw*
Are you implying what I think you're implying?

LOL! Absolutely, right on! :D

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.

Size queen.

I have little hands but still play the piano and bass.

It is a disadvantage though :(

Not long, I should think.

No! You disgusting, sick, filthy minded...something.

(Really, I wasn't. But funny :D)

Well, we could get everyone to 're measure' their 'hands' :D ... Maybe not.

But long enough?

Hmmm... alright chaps, on the count of three. ;) :D

.... erm..... no what?

EDIT: I mean 4!

So your looking for "hand" measurements? Don't have cm, but 8.2 in.

BOOOOOOOOM!!!!

(See? That's what happens if you stand around waiting for somebody to count up to something. Or down. Or anything else, really. Duh.)

19.3 cm.




gotcha!

That's quite a 'hand' you have there.

my "hand" "remeasured" at 12cm

well, umm, its cold in here

*looks embaressed*

That works out as 20.83cm

4 pages!?!?!?!?!

4 pages!?!?!?!?!
This has to be the most wonderfully pointless thread ever!

Thanks for the conversion, didn't have a metric ruler. And I have been told I have big hands... All the better to :fluffle: with!

You mean finger a chick right?

Not exactly the hand I was talking about, but I have big hands also, so yes. :D

That works out as 20.83cm

damn, good effort,
but remember, "its not the size of the jandle, its how u can handle"
*handle reffering to handle as in a cars handling (how well u can control it)*

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?

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 )

hmmmmmm pie

Circumference - all the way around.

hand span then?

"hand" span, yes.

:D

"hand" span, yes.

:D

Indeed.

measuring "handspan" curcumference is hard with a plastice ruler :(
but i can do diameter

Oh dear. This thread is rapidly going off to.....

Wait a minute, did it have one?

Good point, let's stick to diameter - for 'handspans' that is.

Well, if you were to melt it slightly... although that would probably be quite painful to that "hand" of yours... :)

Three shall be the number of thy counting. No more. No less. To three shalt thou count, then stop.

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.

*This is also why it's best not to say "My thong keeps getting stuck up the crack of my arse! It's bloody annoying!" when in Oz.

*This is also why it's best not to say "My thong keeps getting stuck up the crack of my arse! It's bloody annoying!" when in Oz.

LMAO!!!

Nah, we'd get the meaning. The only time it might cause confusion is if you walked in a department store and asked where the thongs were.

Ahh... the land of Oz - Wrinkly tin and flip-flops. Except here, where they are called corrigated (sp?) iron and, yes, thongs.

In response to the orginal topic of this thread...

22.5cm

18 cm is enough? :p

My hands are 21.25 cm (8.375 in.), which I think is on the small size for someone my height (195.6 cm [6'5"]). Seems like everyone I know has bigger or as big hands than me (except my best friend, but he's 170 cm [5'7"])

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. :(

Edit: I just read the rest of the thread after I jumped here to the last page. Are we still doing 'hand' size and girth too? ;)

I thinks so, yes - incredibly.

[QUOTE=Demented Hamsters]22 cm. I've rarely met anyone with bigger 'hands' than me ;)


*stutters for a moment*

Wow!

My 'hand' size is 19 cm (7.5") by 5.4 cm wide (2.125") by 15.25 cm (6 in.) around. See, there is no correlation between hand/feet size and 'hand' size.

Who's next?

Are hand and feet size the same?

Like if you have big hands you have big feet?

18 cm exactly

20.9
and im 1m90

18 cm exactly

omfg same :eek:

Uuuukay changing the thing.

Hand size (same as first post)

Then hight in cm/m

*bump*

i take it "bigger than yours" is an appropriate response in this topic?

Hand size=21cm
Height=1.84m

Hand size = 21.25 cm (8.375")
Height =195.6 cm (6'5")

Hand size, 20.5cm
Height 185cm

I can't be bothered to read the whole thread, is there a point to this?

178cm, hands 19cm

Hand size 18.5cm
Height 172cm

Hand size is up in this discussion somewhere, but hieght is 6', sorry again, no conversion.
