Guy is so insecure about his penis size, I think he's going to dump me.

This is a really long story but I would really appreciate any advice whatsoever.

Last night, me and the guy i'm dating were sending each other a few dirty text messages and he happened to ask whether the guy i'd previously been with had a bigger dick than him. I replied saying, 'erm it might have been about 2 inches bigger I dont know'.

He then completely changed moods and started to go mad. he removed the 3 kisses he puts at the end of his messages and sent me a couple of texts which suggested he was irate.

heres a couple of what he sent me,

'wow, way to make me feel great',

'no i'm definitely not in the mood anymore. sorry'

'no, its a part of me i've always been conscious about and being told that is depressing. i dont want comments about it, thats not what i'm looking for so dont think i am'

'thing is, i joke about having a small one to make me feel better but i'm actually very insecure about it. i hate myself! i'm not in the mood for anything anymore, i just want to lay here and feel sorry for myself!'

'it bothers me! why dont you understand that!'

'oh you just wouldnt understand'

'that doesnt mean i cant be bothered about something, insecurities arent something that just go away. i've tried to get over it but time and time again i end up in the same position. it's probably best i speak to you another time, i'm annoyed and dont feel talkative'


I then basically told him how much he meant to me/how much i liked him etc and he completely ignored the fact I said it.

'its only this topic that bothers me. nothing anyone says will make me feel better. i'm not happy with myself and i never will be. maybe because everyone else hasnt got a small dick! if you dont already understand you never will'


he then suggested I go and see my ex saying

'well maybe you should go and see him again because i'm not in the mood for anything anymore'

the last text he sent me last night was,

'this is what always lets me down. its not your fault i have insecurities, i just cant do anything anymore. if you didnt care about size you wouldnt have known or even commented about how much bigger he was than me'.

his facebook status last night was, 'insecure, annoyed and tired'

i text him back saying, 'okay so are you telling me that you dont want to see me again because of one stupid comment?', i didnt get a reply so i sent another text saying, 'your probably asleep or ignoring my text. i just want you to know that i care for you a lot and if you feel the same, you will still want me to be a part of your life'.

as yet, havent heard from him.

what do i do!? he is a great guy but this reaction from him was completely unexpected. I honestly think he's gonna end it between me and him today and I dont know what to do. I really like him.

Oh dear. 2 inches is a pretty big difference to slap him in the face with.

You did make the mistake of telling him someone else was bigger, although if he is that insecure about and knows he is "small" then he shouldn't really be asking questions about it, because he knew he probably wasn't going to like the answer. So that I don't get. He is obviously insecure about it, does he have reason to be? How "small" is he?

At least you tried to comfort him, but the problem is, all he is going to be thinking about is that now, now how much you care about him.

He's honestly not that small, 5"-6".

Have I wrecked things between us now do you think?!

The only reason a guy gets insecure because you commented on it which he obviously perceived the wrong way.

In other words, you had it.

How can he have a go at you making a comment when he asked you the question in the first place?? He brought it on himself.

Although, 2 inches does sound like a huge difference.
You could just say that if it bothered you at all, you'd have left him by now. But it really isn't that important and you're not even small!!

It's not the size that matters anyway, it's what you do with it :wink:.
Although i'm not speaking from experience, my guy's pretty big :p:.

Just tell him that you love him and what he does sexually and everybody's going to have different sized penis', so he should just get over himself.

Girth is usually more important anyway...

Why would you say that?

Never say anything even remotely negative about a guy's penis size. Lesson to be learned.

Okay so I made a mistake but do you think this is worth ruining what was set to be a relationship?

Does anyone have any idea what I should say to him?
I think you have done everything you can to fix the problem, now just give him some time and hope for the best.

My friends think I should just have lied and told him that he was the biggest. I dont believe in lying to make someone feel good about themselves though :/
Reassure him if you want, but I don't why you would want to do more if he's so insecure as to still be upset with you afterwards.

Depends how insecure he is, 5"-6" means that hes right in the norm really so he doesn't have anything to be insecure about in himself. But if my girlfriend said she had been with someone who was 2" bigger than me I wouldn't be too impressed either.

I don't think you've wrecked things between you two, but no man is going to react well to you saying something like that.

You've done all you can really, it's up to him whether or not he accepts it.

I get what you say about not wanting to lie to him, but in this case a white lie probably would have been a better option. To be fair though, he shouldn't have asked you if he didn't want to hear the answer so he's brought it on himself. And if he ends it just because of this, well then I reckon he's not worth being with anyway. It's not really a big deal (no pun intended lol).

You've done all you can, try not to worry :]

The very fact he asked suggested he was only looking for one answer. White lies are ok to do you know, if it spares someones feelings.

Cardinal rule really, you didn't even have to lie, you could of just said 'well your perfectly fine and i enjoy what you have, so it doesnt matter' very touchy subject with us knob size really.

Women probably find it hilarious, but yeah its a big thing for us. I can imagine it really knocking someones confidence if theyd been told what you told him.

It seems basically then that i've wrecked things.
