That's a good way to identify feet, feet fetish guys love this wholesome strategy
I would think foot fetish guys would care more about the aesthetics of a foot than it's size. How'd they go at it? Look at the fingers?
Like... They can look at the toes. It's not like gals are hiding them.
What about the 10 cold months of the year?
Anyway, not that it matters. This is more of a "too curious" thing.
What about it?
Are you saying that where you live girls don't get meningitis from walking in miniskirts at -15 ºC?
And they don't ditch high-heel winter boots first chance they get?
Okay, okay, maybe our hypothetical fetishist don't like these types of girls. Then your chiromancy is the way to go, I guess.
Where do you live that's cold for 10 months? In Texas, we get a cold 2 weeks, then it's shorts weather any other time.
Heh, Americans
Look at you! Never been to Illinois, I see!
Foot guy here. Everything matters: size, shape etc. Everyone has their own preferences, just like for boobs and ass.
The size of something is an intrinsic part of its aesthetics
Depends. Some like them bigger or smaller. Some like toes, some like wrinkly soles and some like soft soles.
Are we sure it’s wholesome? Somebody’s gotta be missing a foot
Well the word fetish makes it sound sexual which is good because it is
You mean, Lost Soles?
I don't believe you, can you send me a proof?
It's a good way to check if a shoe will fit without having to put it on.
Cinderella just got an horror sequel
Nope, guess I’m an orangutan
Are you from the rainforests of Borneo or Sumatra?
“damn girl are from a rainforest cuz…”
me too
You know what they say “if you break your legs, it’s hard to cook orangutan”
That checks out
Oo-bee-doo, i wanna be like yoo-ooo-oou
I wanna walk like you
You have the wrong feet.
The difference between a EU 40 and 44 is only 4 cm, while the lines on the arm indicate a point you can barely make out more precise than 2-3 cm each. That's why it's roughly the same, but not precisely
Very good for approximating size, as that's what the imperial system was designed around. 1 foot is the average size of a man's foot, an inch is one knuckle, a yard is roughly a stride
Not average size, it's the length of King Henry I's foot
and now it's, by definition, 12x2.54 cm ;)
No no you’re thinking too European. You may not like it but this is what optimal American measurements looks like.
/s
Also, if you look at the picture on the left, the bottom line is at the narrowest point of the elbow, while on the right, the foot ends 1-2 cm above that.
because anything worse than 'eyeball same' would be considered a disproportional freak and be relegated to the vultures... those dummies in the past that is. not us contemporized peoples
My arm is longer.
Nah, your feet are smaller than your arm.
He just got off on the wrong foot.
getting off on one foot would be really tough
You've got the wrong arm.
I only have the 3.....
Check again. Are you sure it was your foot?
I mean I have a couple laying around.
My forearm is way longer than my foot and I have a size 12. Now I can’t stop looking at how weirdly long my forearm is
Same.
Try the other foot!
I tried all 7
Same
Long arm gang rise up
What if it's not "long arm", but "small feet"
If my foots the length of my forearm I'd be classified as a big foot for sure
Eh. I wear a size 14 and my forearms are longer.
Long arm, average foot gang.
Neither science nor a meme, classic.
No. A lot of studies already disprove the relation between the side of any member related to any other in the human body.
Of course some parts may be of roughly the same size, but that's never a rule.
Your wingspan is the same as your height, also
wing span!?!?
I got no wings though (and no red bull either)
Not exactly. The ratio of wingspan to height is called “ape index,” and a larger one is an advantage in sports like climbing. 1 is typical, you’re right, but if you’re in a sport like climbing you’ll encounter tons of people with greater ape indexes.
This is called the ape index. A lot of people have positive ape index. I have an 6" positive ape index. I have always been a good climber.
Most of the time, yes. Some people have longer/shorter wingspans. 99% of NBA players do (Kevin McHale had a reported 8 foot wingspan at 6'10). Even I have a 6'4" wingspan at 6'1 (but small hands because if there's a god they're laughing at me)
My wingspan is about an inch longer than my height
You know what they say about long forearms… big shoes.
Yeah this is just limb tectonics. Couple tens of millions of years ago, the forearm used to be fused to the foot, but due to volcanic activity, these two extremities were slowly forced apart. You can still see the ridge that pushes them apart on the lower back right below the tailbone, with an active volcano tucked neatly at its bottom.
I'm hoping that this is just a joke I'm not getting and you're not either 1. psychotic or 2. a robot
I'm sorry for the confusion. I am neither a chatbot nor do I have any psychiatric conditions such as psychosis. While this is a joke, I can understand that text lacks the social context such as pitch and intonation that can inform listeners to the joking nature of a comment in verbal speech. Feel free to ask any more insightful questions.
Volcano buttholes are no joke.
this would be precisely my wife's response. she also struggles with interpreting text as humorous, serious, threatening, cheerful, etc.
Helpful when working on proportions as an artist. I swear I know a billion anatomy factoids thanks to art school as opposed to any science classes or media.
My feet have never felt so large and my forearms so small.
wtf .. I checked and yeah, this is true for me
Now, take a measuring tape and identify the length of your foot, one digit to the end of finger that most closely at 1” resembles the last knuckle and tip of your finger for distance, and measure your hand from wrist to longest point on a digit furthest away. You now have several visual aids to help determine distance that you know the measurement for, good for quick guesses at general length. Take your foot measurement, multiply it by 3 times and add two times your hand span, you have a large measuring device for cord/rope, just underguess by a few feet and you’ll almost always have just more than enough.
For measuring rope I always use my wingspan. I stretch my arms out and I know that's just shy of 6' always go a couple wingspans more than you think you'll need and I'm set
(Your arms spread from fingertip to fingertip is about the same as your height)
I didn’t want to assume everyone had all their arms and fingers, generally since a person will have two. I would imagine you adding them together logically, but from what you’ve added… maybe it wasn’t so apparent to conclude that adding your feet distance together (ex.12”) makes 2’, multiply that by 3 which equals 6’. Adding your hand span most likely will add 1’ generally to your measurement hence, I reminded you to discount that extra to insure proper length. This can vary person to person.
A my leg a little bit shorter, on 2-3 cm
so we could have had a "forearm" or "tibia" as a unit instead of "foot"??
Why are people only just figuring this out? How do you think cobblers made shoes before the invention of metric tape measures?! Also the distance between your little finger & thumb is the size of a mans wang! Your waste is exactly half the circumference of your neck! The distance between your outstretched arms is how tall you are!
MY BODY IS NOT FEET! #METRIC
Yes it is true
I have the same. Almost.
I'm size 44 (EU) and it works
Imma use this to draw more feet
Liefeld?
Checked ✔️
it does for me.
D'uh
I remember I mentioned this and some put there show on their arm when I said foot.
Why is my foot longer, wtf ?
Because this is only very approximately true and everyone varies.
I hate this information 😭😭
I works for me. It is also the same size of your face from the chin to the top of forehead. But don't try to compare unless you are very flexible 😁
And if you t pose, fingertip to fingertip is how tall you are
Dude... I just realized how huge my feet are. This post totally changed my view
It didn't with mine , foot was smaller
Why does the foot on the right look like a hand
If that's the case, either my arm is too long or my feet are too short....
Nope, my forearm is like 2 inches bigger
Isn't this for drawing? You don't draw down to centimeters like that.
Where's that photo of the girl with insanely long arms
My forearm is nearly two inches longer than my foot, I've always said I was built like a spider monkey
Not true
Me and bosses feet and forearms don't match up. I call bull crap.
Something else that works: put your thumb in the nook of your elbow and stretch your hand so your pinky finger touches your wrist. In French this measurement is called "empan" (hand span?)
When I do this my heel is like two inches from my elbow
Hey! Works with my wiener, too!
Neat. Works for me.
Mine's not even close.
No reason for that to be true, but it also could be true for some people. Idk if generally the proportions are usually like that, but it's definitely not always true, as there are people with short arms and big feet and vice versa
sigh there is no way...
Huh, actually it's pretty close
Worked for me
Not me. My toe goes 2cm (almost an inch) further into the palm. Edit: Shoe size 46.
This is real!!

Nope. Just no.
My foot is larger, and you know what they say about big feet??…
big shoes
So, doesn't work, clearly not science.
Fucking gross
Send pics of feet to OP so they can verify
Nah, I'd need a long af foot for tha- huh?!
Nope!
As with most things, there are exceptions, but for a lot of people, this is true. If I'm ever in a shoe store that uses uncommon sizes (euro, etc.) then I can just hold up a demo shoe to my forearm to get a rough idea if it'll fit or not before sitting down to try on a pair.
Waooo this wrinkle my brain😂
Close. But me feet are a bit short. Then again I have very small feet for my height
Yeah it comes right up to just above the joint of the elbow
Yes. Also your hand is about the size of your face and distance between your eyes most of the time is width of your eye.
People in the office are looking at me funny.
Just tried it and I’m shocked. That’s wild.
Your arm span is also about equal to your height. Humans are full of interesting ratios (though they aren't precise - Grew up with a dude who looked lanky as hell because his arm span was about 2 inches more than his height)
Nope
I'm 6'3/193cm tall, shoe size 12-12.5 (US 46), and my arm is around 3-4cm longer.
Edit> Actually not too far off the picture on the right, where the heel starts above the elbow and the toes don't reach the wrist. Diagram bad, photo good.
Yup
I know I’ve got long arms. My forearm in at least 2” longer than my foot and I wear American 12W men’s
Wenbanyama nervously sweating
When your foot is exactly 12 inches, knowing this becomes a mundane superpower
The Perfect physical formation ???
It’s the same a dick size. Crazy!
It's always fun when people discover the divine ratio in the human body.
I tried this, but the guy sitting next to me on the train got really upset for some reason?
You're supposed to compare to your own arm.
I'm in public atm but very curious to try as my feet are a little over an inch difference in size but I've never noticed/checked if my arms were
I always thought my feet and arms are kinda long for my height. I'm 5" 1, my foot size= forearm length= UK8
+- my arm is bigger than my foot.
My foot is smaller than my forearm. So not for me.
Then I'm wearing a size 12 or 13 which is what I wear
my foot is too large.
Well ill be
It's close but not perfect. Im a tall gangly person with size 15s and my forearm has a good 3 inches longer than my feet.
Ah, I see. It’s a foot long.
It’s true for me. Also:
Arms spread to the side (like a T), fingertip to finger tip is your height.
The length from nipples to navel is equal to length from naval to groin.
Have you not watched Pretty Woman? That was the main point of the movie.
This is how I pre-test for if its worth trying on a shoe/sandal
I’ve known this since I first saw Pretty Woman.
I thought everyone learned this in elementary?
Without even trying this I just know my arm is longer than my foot
Not true, at least for me it’s total bullshit.
Also correlates with dick size according to my personal study
Me ape man, long arms....small feet.
But how does it relate to pp size?
This is how I quick test new shoes.
True for me.
Can confirm I tried
No more wasted time at the shoe store
My foot is longer and my hand I wider, who messed with the sizing scale on me
You were bit by a radioactive gorilla.
I am a radioactive gorilla
Imagine just finding this out
I just did at 59 years old!.
you must be from the ministry of silly walks
Umm so?
That's about the size of my d
no. just no. stop it with the eugenic adjacent shit already
"Haha my foot is the same size as my forearm" = racist selective breeding?????
Just tried with my gf and it checks out. Cool for checking the owner of a lost foot.
