Smallest ring size ever! 2.5

I'll bet Trump has a size 2!

This whole topic is mind boggling to me. None of the hands in the pictures look tiny, but they have to be. And it made me think back to my early 20’s when I was anorexic. I’m 5”5’ , and back then, weighed 100 pounds and was a dress size 0 or 00.. Literally, everyone thought I was teensy tiny. Even in pics I look back on, I look suuupeeerr tiny. When I’m healthy, I’m about 125-140 pounds and wear a dress size ~6-8. I normally wear a size 7 ring, and it got a little loose at this unhealthy time in my life, and I had it resized to 6.5. But, any smaller than 6.5 was way too tight. So, I just can’t seem to wrap my head around a size 2.5 ring finger! It’s sounds ridiculous to say, but back when I was suffering severely from my anorexia disease, I was basically just skin and bones. And I mean that literally! In general, I’m a petite person, never someone who you would call “big boned”. I have small wrists, small feet, etc.., and my hands have never looked out of proportion no matter what weight. So how can the literal bone on my ring finger be twice the size of the fingers of people who have posted!

( I mean my lack of understanding in a very hyperbolic way. I do understand that people have fingers that small. I just find it fascinating/ confusing how proportional logic seems to not exit for ring sizes!)

*Personal anecdote relating to weight, height, dress size, ring size, and so on, was factual though, not hyperbole, just to be clear.

I don’t think the size difference is double from a 2.5 to a 5. I believe I have read the difference between rings sizes is in millimeters.
Here’s an example


@maryjane04 and @monarch64 I think @t_trove may be not humorously referencing the Seinfeld episode where Jerry dates a lady with “man hands.” She failed at humor here.

Agree with others that 6.5 and 7 are completely normal ring sizes for women.

The "man hands" in Seinfeld, IIRC, and I can picture it, referred to the shape of the hands and not the finger size. I recall them tearing a hard roll, for example -- muscled, manual-labor type hands.

For what it's worth, as a man I probably have "woman hands" -- overly-long fingers. If the weather's right and the stars align, I can palm a basketball -- but not indefinitely! Clients who watch me type ask if I play piano (Answer: "For three weeks when I was eight -- how did you know?!"). Not the best body for all those size 10 men's rings. OTOH, I can rock a baller pinkie ring almost anywhere.
