Tell your single lady friends to measure the berries before committing to the twig.

Holy cow. What I would give to have been a researcher for this study...get paid to measure balls all day? Pssshh...I got this under control, no problem! LOL. The shit they come out with.

I saw this, but have to disagree(from personal experience, which is totes more accurate than science!) Also if you read articles about trying to find a man who will make good breeding material, they say to look for large balls because it's a sign of higher testosterone. So confusing! So you breed with big balls guy, but then leave him for some small balls to raise the child?

Well, I think the assumption is higher Testosterone often equals higher fertility, but also higher desire to go procreate elsewhere rather than care for the kids he's got?

These sorts of correlations are often rather... silly. Like, you could have a statistically significant correlation that is still fairly meaningless when dealing with individuals in the real world.

I don't know. My husband seriously has some giant balls and he is awesome with all kids and always has been, but has also been proved to be a good breeder. His might be large from gravity though, he's a giant. I have seen enough balls to be able to compare. Want society needs- ball cleavage pants so us women know what we are getting. VOM.

Ah. See, in this study they corrected for height. So he may actually have proportionately average sized balls.

No no.  I read somewhere that the average human poops like hundreds of pounds of poop a year.  I thought "Who's measuring the poop?  I don't wanna be that person."

Um, don't you have to deal with poop in your line of work?

That is the last job I'd want - measuring balls. Ew.

You know men would be so happy to measure boobs for a study, but it's not the same when women get a measure balls. Is there some strange society out there what has celebrated and found balls attractive? Had like ball festivals where men display them?

LaurelBee

I'd rather measure bewbs too

Ewww.

I do agree the job wouldn't be as glamorous as measuring boobs per se, but man, it would be amusing.
