Are my hands normal? please compare with me.

80% Normal
15 Comments

I have small and thin hands (7.5 inches from wrist to tip of middle finger) and my middle finger is only 3.2 inches (8.2 cm). I'm a 5'8.5 male and I'm 22 years old. I'm from Central America. I am seeing a psychiatrist and have been diagnosed with Body Dismorphic Disorder and Clinical Depression because of this. I have been under medication for a month now. Here is a picture of my hand. Please be honest with me and let me know what you think. Is this a turn off for girls? My ex has the same hand size but longer fingers, she is 5'7 tall. When we were dating she said I had cute hands but I certainly don't feel that way. Here is the picture:

    I'm a female, and your hands look like my boyfriend's hands. They aren't too masculine, hairy, or rough. Some girls prefer the soft and appropriately sized hands. You should be flaunting those puppies! Not hiding them, they are good hands. :)

    Your hands look EXACTLY like mine, and I have never heard anything but positive comments about them. My aunt even said I should be a hand model. Take pride in your hands!

      Thank you for your comment. You're a girl and I'm a guy so I think that makes a difference. Thanks anyway :)

    I thought your hands were really nice - mine are super bony.

    But, how often do you put your hands out flat?

    I don't mean to be mean to you but surely you have bigger problems to worry about than this.
    I am 5' tall and my mother once said to me, "It's a pity you're so small." She is an idiot but WTF am I supposed to do about my height? She does the Christianity bit every so often so I said, "Oh well, this is the way God made me." That shut her up!!

    I watched a programme on Stalin the other night and he had a normal hand and a tiny one. That would be worse for you.

      What do you mean by how often do I put my hands out flat? You mean how often do I check or stare at my hands? I would say, a lot. I'm try to do it less though. I'm currently working on the problems that you're mentioning, I'm seeing a Psyquiatrist.

        I meant how often do you lay them out flat for other people to look at or criticise. Usually, we do things with our hands - hold a pen / drink, put them in our pockets, wave them about when talking, etc. The fingers are normally curled up slightly.

        Honestly, there is no point in worrying about things that you cannot change. What can you do about it?

        You and your hands, me and my height!
        If people don't like your hands - they don't need to look at them but I think they look fine!

        To be honest, I used to work in a bar and I go to one every weekend and I can tell you that I have never ever noticed any man's hands in my whole life!! I don't even think if you showed me a photo of my husband's hands I would know they were his. Our hands are always too busy to be inspected by others - don't worry so much.

          Yeah, I almost never do that. I think no one has ever comment on my hands, only my ex girlfriend but that's understandable. I don't normally show people my hands and I try to avoid doing it. I'm assuming you're a girl, being a short girl is a plus for many men. I find small girls really cute.

    Your hands look fine to me. At least you don't have wonky pinky fingers, like I do.

    LOL.

    I am 5'4 and my hands are 6 inches long. My husband is 5'10 and his hands are 6.5 inches long. We share the same ring size, for fuck's sake.

    This is totally normal. Don't worry about it. I don't know too many women that come back from a first date saying things like "OMG he has beautiful eyes and was very kind but what really got me what HIS BIG BEAUTIFUL HANDS" or "I'm not calling him. He had small hands." Just so long as they function. The length that we worry about is in an area a little further south... not gonna lie, folks. Doesn't have to be the titanic, but the average ship has an easier time crossing the ocean than a dingy...
