If you were around St. Paul, I'd take you my barber and it'd be a whole new experience that would put you at ease. Saturdays are PARTY TIME!!! It's a lively social scene, in the neighborhood I call home (not where I presently live). There's usually 8-10 guys waiting at the door at 8 AM when the joint opens. By 8:01, there's 10 guys sitting around with beers in their hands. The jokes and the gossip and the bullshit are flying hot and heavy. I get a great haircut and get caught up on all the important goings-on. It's a hoot. The cops don't bug us, because it's where they all get their haircuts and we'll typically see 2 or 3 of them there on a Saturday.

Same here....slightly over 8", and 4.5" wide. I trained for years with a world champion armwrestler, and we did a lot of grip and forearm work.

So my hands are thick as well. And from using different diameter bars in the gym, training with him, etc.....my grip is very strong.

Even my Aikido instructers have commented about it. If I get my hands on you....more than likely they aren't coming off unless I pull them away.

And they don't tire. I cam do "Farmers Walks" around the gym forever without really fatiguing them.

I wrestled in high school, and strong hands are a major asset. We did a lot of grip and wrist work.

I can remember in high school going to have a new bowling ball drilled, and the pro shop guy looks at my hand and nearly spit his dentures out. Gloves never fit me worth shit; in an XL the palm is nice and snug but I've got 1" of floppy emptiness hanging off each finger.

I also worked outside all winter long for 20 years in Minnesota, handling lots of cold lumber and steel. I don't have a lot of feeling left in my hands. People are always shocked at how I can handle hot things off the stove or out of the oven.

I'm only 5'7" and 180 pounds, with a 31" waist. I wore a size 13 wedding ring. Size 11 or 11-1/2 shoes (46-47 European). I come from a long line of burly and thirsty Irishmen. The big feet help us stay upright after several pints.

Lol.....same here! I'm about 5'7" on a good day, and usually stay around the 200lb Mark. Waist is 30"-31" but I have to get jeans in a 34" waist to get my legs into. Size 11 shoes as well.

It's hard to buy clothes off the rack that fit well as I like to keep covered up, but that usually means something that looks too baggy on me. I can't stand tight clothing. Plus I always am conscious of my posture trying not to look like a douche bag.

Seen a guy in the grocery store yesterday who was wearing clothes to accent the fact that he worked out, but his stomach was the biggest thing about him. You could spot him across the store as he had imaginary lat syndrome going on.....looked like he was carrying suitcases.

I just don't get it.

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot. Are you joking? I truly thought you had your Prancercise credentials in order. This CANNOT stand. I don't even know who you are any longer. What must we do to correct this egregious omission?

Many thanks for exposing this scandalous omission. We must share Prancersize to all and allow it to spread like the Corona Virus.

I don't know where to put this so I'll put it here.

I pulled into a parking lot yesterday behind a 340 M sport. It was a really nice color blue, clean and and shiny. As I head towards my perfect end spot, I see the driver is doing the same. I park behind him. As we both exit our vehicles, I say "Love the color, what is it?" He looks at me like I have two heads and says Blue. No shit. I started to ask the name of the color but knew it was useless. The car gave me the impression he was an enthusiast. Are the demographics of the BMW driver changing or do we here the minority?

About the same sizes as you guys to the tee. 8" hands, not sure where to measure on the palm, 3 3/4" knuckle to knuckle, 4.5" from the diagonal. 11-11.5 shoes. Y'all have some years on my so I'm sure my palms will thicken up. My father instilled in all of us at a young age that a firm handshake will take you far in life, I've always prided myself on a pretty wicked handshake lol.

I feel you on the clothes, it's a damb struggle. 5' 10", 190-200 depends on the week. Probably a 32" waist and need to buy 36" for my legs. Always have bunches around my waist since I gotta pull my belt tight to keep everything up. My fiance is always buying shirts an shit for me. Whenever I try them on I say the same thing, too tight around my back/shoulders/arms. She says they fit nice, but I just hate that feeling. Would rather wear a baggy shirt.

There's probably 3 guys in my gym that look exactly as you described.

I've encountered this many times. I'm both a BMW enthusiast and a Jeep enthusiast (I also own a '98 Wrangler). Nothing like complementing someone on their car, or asking what lift their Jeep has only to be greeted with a blank stare like I'm a psycho. I'm convinced most people know nothing about cars, and if it is modded, was probably built by someone else and they bought it because they thought it looked cool.

We are the minority. Most never know any of the specs about their car. I could tell you any option or features of any car I've owned, and can usually spot them on other people's rides with just a glance.

But most just see it as a way to get from point A to B. I want to enjoy my ride as you spend a lot of your time in a vehicle. I kind of look at it as my sanctuary as I've tried to condition myself that this is where I turn work off everyday as I'm leaving the parking lot!

I was in the grocery store a few days ago and saw a lady with a similar hair style to prancer lady and immediately felt a little nauseous. All I could think about was DAMMIT MK.

To him, it's a BMW (aka a status symbol) and nothing more. I like to think the enthusiasts have all made their way to the watering hole that is BimmerPost. The cool kid enthusiasts made their way to the OT section.
