How big is your neck?

[Elta]

My Mom is getting me a suit for something (she won't tell me what it is yet). And wanted to know what my neck size is, I measured it and it's 18.

I heard the salesmen over the phone say "damn, that's a big ass neck" Which made me

Seeing as house most of the guys I roll with have necks likes cinder blocks. Maybe it is just a trait a lot of fighters have, then again I don't really pay much attention to a guys neck unless I am trying to choke them out.


So I decided to see what was a "normal" neck size. Apparently I am just right in the XX large category.

I was going to include options for women on here, but apparently neck size is not relevant for designers when it come to women and the other category I saw listed was bust, I was going to throw that in too, but apparently breast are a lot more complicated than I though.

Wait for the poll


P.S. If you use CM - just type in for example 46 cm in inches : http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...:official&q=46+cm+in+inches&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g-m1

Google will take care of the conversion for you.

Use your neck and thinnest part of torso to calculate your body fat according to the *U.S. military.

* Every DoD department uses this now, so don't jump all over me non marine military guys.

Go up to where it says calculators and click on body fat.

I didn't have a measuring tape, so I used a string and a ruler.

It tells me I have 118% body fat?

Dude, 18 inch neck is huuuuuge... You must have like 50% body fat, and it's all in your neck.

Sorry about that.

There is no fat on my neck, I don't even have a double chin.


You have seen my pictures no?

I am over weight, yeah, but there isn't any fat on my neck.



P.S. In other news, I was just feeling my neck to see if there was any fat on it and if I touch the tips of my thumbs together and wrap my hands around my neck my middle fingers can just barley touch on the other side.

I wonder if other people have have hands that can just barley wrap around their necks.

CFC investigate!

If I wrap my hands around my neck, I still have enough space to hold a coffee cup!

Might have something to do with my hands being abnormally large, not my neck being smaller than normal.

Mine is about 33 cm, or 13 inches in your barbaric measurement system.

Oh yeah, the whole guitar playing thing


Side note: You know how your hands grew larger because of the constant guitar playing while your hand were growing?

It happens with feet to apparently, if you are over weight when you are young your feet get larger. I read that some where, and it has occurred to me that, that is why my feet are size 12 and not 10. My dad has size 10 feet, other than feet I am pretty much a perfect body double of him.

Hey, you didn't get some girl pregnant, and mom is planning a shotgun wedding with the girl's family right?




I very highly doubt it since I've never done "it" without a condom, but still I think my heart stopped for a few seconds.

You know it just occurred to me that maybe my neck is so large from all of that neck wrestling I did in Muay Thai.

I can't believe I hadn't thought of that

Actually, having a large neck decreases your percentage of body fat according to the army body fat formula.

And I wear a 20 inch neck size in my dress shirts. Like I have said before, I am built like a 6 foot tall dwarf.

 

[holy king]

pics or it didnt happen.

 

[MagisterCultuum]

My neck is slightly more than sixteen and a half inches around.

If I wrap my hands around my neck have about an inch to spare.

This flies against everything evolutionary theory stands for.
