How does everyone measure their girth?

[Jaronimo]

I recently ordered a vacutech pump kit and I had always measured with tailors tape but vacutech recommends measuring with a string around your cock by marking them with a pen at any given spot that the string intersects, then measuring the two points with a ruler.

Which is more accurate? surprisingly I got very different measurements with both, using tailors tape I measured about 4 3/4 and with the string and ruler I measured at about 5 1/8.

in my opinion tailors tape would be more accurate whereas the string and ruler gives u a two step process where u can mess up at either stage of the process to mess up

Vactuech probably assumes most people dont have tailor tape. FYI i have vacutwch equipment for sell in the discount section.

No they clearly state their opinion on their site being that tailors tape provides an inaccurate measurement. Whether it's true or not is unknown by you or I.

Ahh well whatever ... An opinion is like a butt hole

 

[Satyr]

...and opinions stay buttholes until they are substantiated with sound reasoning. Idk why they think measuring with a thread should be more accurate, but arguments would help to see any sense in this butthole. Superman correctly suggests that this method includes far more possibilities to involuntarily (and voluntarily) bias data while a tape indicates you directly the precise numbers.

 

[Jaronimo]

One could easily argue that you're taking the extra steps to tune in closer or more accurately. Btw I measured both ways a few times back and forth and all measurements were consistent with each other. Of course the two methods were completely different as I mentioned before. I guess I will continue to measure with both methods here as I start buckling down on my girth and air pumping, unless the cylinder I ordered is too big which would mean Vacutechs string to ruler method is no good.

 

[Satyr]

Sorry, but this is not an argument but a mere claim that doesn't make any (methodo)logical sense because from the premise of a more complicated measurement operation alone it doesn't follow necessarily a higher degree of precision. This conclusion would only apply if you could gather more data (i.e. more numbers) that would allow you to mathematically specify the coefficient you're ultimately interested in (that is girth) further. This doesn't seem to be the case here or do they win additional parameters this way which help to calculate your girth? I guess not and if it is that way (I'm totally open to valid reasoning but I can't see any until this point) then it makes absolutely no sense to put in additional steps into the process. In other words, these steps are superfluous since they don't serve a methodologically sound purpose. They only heighten the risk of measuring mistakes.

btw: I hope you don't take this personal in any sense. I just wanted to point out the argumentative incoherence of this claim (as it's presented here at least).

 

[Jaronimo]

Okay I'll clarify again that I don't agree nor disagree with either method, just trying to figure out which is more accurate, if there are mistakes to be made between one extra step then what is it? Just curious cause it was pretty simple the few times I tried it, you guys should seriously just try it then draw your conclusions.

But either way if you stick to the same method of measurement you will still be able to track your progress and gains.

I hear you, Jaronimo. But you brought up this subject and wanted to have some opinions on it so I responded

Strapping a thread in an even line around your dick and additionally marking the exact point where both ends intersect and staying erect at the same time doesn't seem easy to me. It's difficult enough (at least for me) to strap the tailor tape around your dick in a correct way (i.e. in an even line and with the right amount of force, that is: not too tight or too loose which also applies to the thread method).

Unless someone comes up with a real argument that would make an empirical test reasonable I won't spend my time with trying it because drawing conclusions from empirical data only makes sense if you have a hypothesis to verify or falsify. Then again for a hypothesis you need at least one substantial argument.
With data only there's no conclusion to be drawn except the one you've already drawn: that (at least in your case who doesn't seem to find it hard to measure that way) it is a reliable method which proves to produce the same results in multiple evaluations. So one could argue that it's not worthless because - as you correctly stated - you're able to measure progress with it. But this observation doesn't tell us anything about the validity of the data with respect to the variable we're trying to determine as precise as possible (girth). And furthermore it still is (as easy as you consider it to be) not as easy as measuring with a tape. So unless you don't have a tape I don't see any reason to track your progress with this method. ok, it may give you a psychological boost since you seem to get bigger numbers with it, but else?

@Android: yes, indeed I am. If this overall too annoying just give me a heads up. I'm just convinced that the power of the better argument should be a discussion standard in forums, too. Sometimes I might go overboard with this (considering the context), just be a bit indulgent with me then. It's some sort of occupational illness rofl

 

[Jaronimo]

You're over complicating the entire point.

 

[Satyr]

mmh, I don't think so. In fact, most things become that complicated if you look closer at them, that is if you analyze them in detail (and that's the only way to decide if a claim makes sense or not, if it is even worthwhile to test it practically or not). The claim of those guys just doesn't make sense without any argument that could make it understandable. Therefore one can measure as much as one wants, one will never know if this method produces more accurate results. That's the whole case I'm building here. You asked for opinions, I gave you mine and tried to underpin it thoroughly with good arguments. That's it.

Tailors tape measured erect, mid-shaft

 

[Jaronimo]

Anyways the tube fit great using the string method, whether or not it's more accurate or not it worked out just fine. Thanks for the input DLD good to see you back.

Thank Brother!

A string is another good way as it has the flexibility to get around the entire shaft.

I doubt if tailor tape provide inaccurate measurement. That tape is what everyone has used and still using to measure girth.
