      Yeah, they did.

      Their hypothesis was that men who were dissatisfied with the size of their penises were more likely to own guns. The opposite ended up being the case.

        i didn’t read it, but what was the methodology? did they do a survey of dudes who own 50 guns and ask “do you think your penis is big enough?” and did they expect those dudes in particular to be honest?

        doubt

          Boy, if only there was a way you could get that information. Wouldn’t it be convenient if there was a link to the paper’s abstract so you wouldn’t have to talk out of your ass?

                  I didn’t know it was possible to say “I’m a jackass” without saying “I’m a jackass”. TIL.

    We find that men who are more dissatisfied with the size of their penises are less likely to personally own guns across outcomes, including any gun ownership, military-style rifle ownership, and total number of guns owned. The inverse association between penis size dissatisfaction and gun ownership is linear; however, the association is weakest among men ages 60 and older.

    Presumably because them small dick motherfuckers spent all their money on giant trucks instead

    Ok, that is funny. However, this little nugget will help me sleep at night:

    we failed to observe any differences in personal gun ownership between men who have and have not attempted penis enlargement

      Yeah there’s the rub . . . uh, so to speak. They qualified “men dissatisfied with their penis size” as “men who have tried penis enlargement”

      That’s just too much of a reach.

    I’m liberal, have a larger than average dick, and have never worried for a second about its size. Also, have had at least 50+ lovers.

    And I own shitloads of guns.
