While this means wristcels can presumably find women with small wrists to mate with assortatively (if this is their only major flaw), it does indicate that seemingly petty and minute factors such as wrist size play a role in determining people's mate choices. | While this means wristcels can presumably find women with small wrists to mate with assortatively (if this is their only major flaw), it does indicate that seemingly petty and minute factors such as wrist size play a role in determining people's mate choices. | ||

==Why wrist circumference is important== | |||
As noted above, wrist circumference is considered essential by some [[Framecel|framecels]] because it is generally a bone thickness measure. Bone thickness determines how much muscle your frame can support. It is also important regarding strength potential, with wrist circumference (on its own) being moderately correlated with grip strength, which is itself generally an excellent measure of overall upper-body strength.<ref>https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/b6d7/a751aebf172793c382c72fb6ea1b1794174c.pdf</ref> So it's not the wrists themselves that are important, but the fact that they serve as a reliable indicator of the robustness of one's [[frame]], which is strongly associated with one's physical strength and capacity to build muscle. | |||
Note that being a wristcel is the second-to-worst thing aside from being a neckcel, as both indicate that no amount of muscle mass will free you from being a [[framecel|framelet]], and even if you take large amounts of [[Anabolic steroid|steroids]], packing an unnatural quantity of muscle on a tiny frame often results in a comical looking, disproportionate physique. | Note that being a wristcel is the second-to-worst thing aside from being a neckcel, as both indicate that no amount of muscle mass will free you from being a [[framecel|framelet]], and even if you take large amounts of [[Anabolic steroid|steroids]], packing an unnatural quantity of muscle on a tiny frame often results in a comical looking, disproportionate physique. | ||
