Short arms = feminine

[stemm99]

Mesomorph is indeed superior strength wise over ectomorph. Lion > tiger. The issue is would you classify long limbed extreme leptosome like Brock Lesnar mesomorphic just because he has superhuman muscle mass as well besides ectomorph-like reach?

Luke Rockhold and Jon Jones are good examples of muscular ectomorphs too.

of course it has not much sense to lecture random idiot trolls on the internet who wouldnt probably be able to talk a proper sentence without stuttering in real life but are good on the keyboard and live their sneaky butthurt selves out on the world wide webz (I am not meaning any particular member ..neither do I mean OP because I think he is just trolling/joking but there are many of such individuals especially in forums like these) but since I know my shit I will tell you a few things .

shorter arms ..or medium length arms generally can generate more power . and you can also lift better with shorter arms . long arms are good when you can keep a distance to an opponent but infighting is harder . and often long armed guys look like fucking insects too and have a lanky and awkward vibe on them . not everybody is a lennox lewis or anthony joshua . in most cases a stocky medium height guy with average-short reach who is aggressive will be extremely dangerous for a spider armed guy

Rocky Marciano . undefeated heavyweight champion

height : 179cm

reach : 173cm !!!!!!






David Tua


height 178cm

reach 178cm




PRIME Mike Tyson

height : 178cm

reach : 180cm




Igor Vovchanchyn - Pioneer of MMA fighting . one of the most underrated fighters ever . he was a fucking maniac

heigjt 172cm

reach 173cm



there are many more examples

The only thing awkward about a tall guy fighting a short guy is that it looks like he's beating up a little kid. If you have muscle mass then having longer arms is just an added bonus. Why wasn't Tyson able to do shit against skilled long limbed fighters like Holyfield and Lewis?

tyson was already declining and full of problems . he often did cocaine and what not . after cus damato died he was going all downhill

beside of that holyfield and especially lewis are some of the best boxers there are . and everybody up there can lose . lewis beat 176-178cm tua just by points btw. people like tua fucked up many tall guys . there are many other examples . daniel cormier against gustafsson and many many more

Source for this? I remember reading something similar with the researchers taken by surprise. I can't find it. Most other sources on the net also take up the fallacy(as you imply).
I think you are right(again please provide the scientific paper) but for some reason there is the misconception going around.

This site seems rather undecided on the matter and I havn't the time to sort through their mess

Excuse my laziness for only reading the top part.

Those pics are based on previously held misconceptions:

For the answer, I turned to Carnegie-Mellon University, where I received my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. Laura Lund, a student there, undertook the project to determine why women were uncomfortable on their bikes. She confirmed my research about women’s body proportions — shorter legs and longer upper bodies. But she also discovered that the center of mass of women’s body is not the same as men’s.

I'm 1.78 meters tall but my armspan is only a few cm short from 2 meters. I've always been able to knock the fuck out of tall people without any issue even when they do their typical tactic when they are scared of fighting a shorter person who can punch fast: stupidly pull their heads back like a Kangaroo.



Probably not. But no one would think in any random skinny vegetarian hipster as masculine despite he has the beard of a wizard. Facial hair is considered a masculine trait.

Likewise short arms are considered feminine, even if the rest of the traits such as facial hair, musculature are not.

Bro you must look fucked up

This is veering unpleasently into Lookism territory

Well, I dunno. In the Navy we had short-arm inspection after shore leave and what they were inspecting sure wasn't feminine.

Thanks, that is the picture I was searching for

They all have the same arm length. Everyone is dam retarded here. They are even the same shoulder length. In fact they are holding hands with their arms extended down the same length. They just have different torso and leg length. Please everyone. Just kill yourselves. The autism here is too great

Note the black girl has longer legs and a shorter torso, but her arms are the longest out of the three, thus nullifying the "feminine"(emphasis added) proportions. I think the middle white girl with a very slightly longer legs would look the best/most "feminine" (emphasis on the quotation marks).

How exactly is a Lion stronger than a Tiger fam?
