it works

I have pretty hands what can I say.

[unnecessary drama]

that being said your hands are pretty solid for a man

I'll give the prettiness a 7.5 out of 10

they don't look like abnormally large hands like the measurement suggests but I just can't tell...I don't have anything to compare it to.

That combine picture of Tom Brady with his shirt off looks pretty much how I look with a ****ing shirt off...I just can't throw a football 65 yards on a rope with precision accuracy.

Just because they are great QB's doesn't mean they have to have superhuman hands...they are still human beings

I'm not saying having superhuman hands. But it's extremely weird that guys averaging 6'2 to 6'7 have roughly the same size as me (5'10) if we're talking about hand span.

This makes sense to me. I'm 5'9" and have fairly short fingers, with my middle finger being less than 3.5 inches long, but I can palm a basketball because I've got a hand span of 9.75 inches.

[unnecessary drama]

we use the same ball every week at flag football and my buddy is the only one who throws it and it's hilarious...he grips the **** out of the ball because there are too imprinted thumb prints on each end...

dude has just a flat out cannon...he was one of those guys that really didn't develop 100% physically until he was about 19...throws a baseball 85 MPH and he just lights up the flag football field

we haven't lost a game in 4 straight sessions...and we're the only team that doesn't call plays or wear those gay ass wrist bands like a bunch of homos...

we just ****ing school yard it and pwn everyone...the black teams don't like losing to 27 year old white kids

My hands are weird, they are pretty much the only feature on my entire body that actually looks the proper age. It's like I have portrait hanging in my attic with perfect young hands but the rest is gruesome and haggard.

Is Hootie, in some Rex Ryan type way, attracted to my hands?

[unnecessary drama]

I try and convince 19 year old girls at the bars that I'm a hand model and I model women's jewelry (I have no hair on my hands and they really are quite feminine) and when they give me a hard time I berate them and ask them "you really wouldn't buy a ring off of these hands?!" AT THE VERY WORST IT'S A GOOD ICE BREAKER...AT THE VERY BEST THEY THINK I'M GAY.

I like a man that has girly hands...no hair, pretty hands...guys with great circulation you know? I can appreciate a good, hairless hand just like the next guy.

Hamas!

Ruling?

It's kinda/pretty stretched out but not totally...???

Thanks to this thread, I now have an idea of exactly HOW SMALL Tyler Wilson's hands are.

I have, at least what I think, are VERY SMALL hands. I just measured mine and pinky to thumb, I'm right at 8" pretty much.

His hands aren't much bigger than mine.

I have pretty feminine hands save for the summer months, when I get golf callouses. It's a byproduct of avoiding manual labor for most of my life.

[unnecessary drama]

well I'm just saying your hand is pretty stretched out naturally when gripping a football to throw it meaning the thumb to pinky measurement absolutely makes sense for QB's

I think that is what it has to be for me as well...someone handed me a wrench one time and I was like "what the **** do you want me to do with this?"
