An expert has finally debunked the myth that if you want to know what a man is packing downstairs, you need to look at his feet, and revealed the even more visible body part that gives it away.
Dr. Rena Malik, a renowned urologist and health educator, broke down the telltale sign that gives away the size of a man’s penis on Dragon Den star Steven Bartlett’s podcast, Diary of a CEO.
According to the medical expert, a large nose is a sign of a large penis.
She said on the podcast, "There’s one study - it’s a Japanese study where they looked at only Japanese men so there are some limitations - but they measured all these body parts and penile length and they found that nose length was correlated with penile length, not hand length or foot," she explained.
Citing the study that examined the measurements of over 100 men, Dr. Malik explained that researchers found a "significant correlation" between the size of a man’s nose and his "stretched penile length."
"The study found that men with larger noses had a longer penile length," Dr. Malik noted.
According to the data, men with noses measuring around 2.2 inches (5.5 cm) typically boasted an average length of 5.3 inches downstairs.
Those with smaller noses - around 1.8 inches (4.5 cm) had an average 4.1-inch penis.
Dr. Malik points out that this isn’t just a coincidence; the link probably begins in the womb.
Reportedly, the same surge of testosterone that forms a male fetus's genitals is also responsible for the development of facial features.
However, the expert does note that the correlation is statistically interesting, it isn’t a perfect science.
A "prominent" nose doesn’t automatically mean a man has a significantly big penis, and a button nose doesn't necessarily mean he has a micro penis.
As with almost all other human physical features, genetics, ethnicity, and health all contribute.
Still, Dr. Malik’s revelation confirms that while you can’t judge a book by its cover, you definitely shouldn’t judge a man by his shoe size.
