Issues with length? Hoping to full-time.

These thread titles are spooking me out.

http://www.airforums.com/forums/f314...ime-89548.html

I'm afraid to read the threads in case I get ICS. (inferiority complex syndrome).

Maybe someone can enlighten me on what exactly the issues are with length?

Dave

I am just happy to have one of the longest...
If we all lined up with our rears against the wall, I would be sticking way out there....
AND for the record... Mine is the same size right to the very tip... none of that receiver stuff up front...

Thumbs up

The longer length's just can't get into some of the really pretty spots.

Average length is very popular.

You know, in the "Most popular trailer size" thread, the men were arguing about how big they should be, while the women were insisting that smaller is better. Quite contrary to what I've heard before about length....

It's okay, it does seem that the tiniest old ones attract the most attention here.

I note that I, (and others) have now been ID'd with "SUPPORTED MEMBER" status. Has this anything to do with posting on this thread?
I know us old guys need all the support we can get.

I do know that when my Girlfriend helps me guide my rig into a tight spot, I prefer to hear...
"Stop right there, you are at the end!"
Than...
"Keep going, Honey....Keep going.... Oh, is that all the way in?"

And, by the way... calling something "Cute" is not cool in this case...

The longer ones also seem to bottom-out more frequently. I try to avoid that best I can because the noise that occurs is annoying and high pitched.

Either way, I bet he makes his riders really scream when he has got the full 31' porpoising.

I thought this thread would die out after the mods moved it.

I was wrong.

Men always know where the sex is.
