How much bigger does a guy have to be to carry a girl?

How much more athletic/tall/big does a guy have to be to carry a 5'3 130 pound girl?

Um, probably not by much. -I- can carry a 5'3", 130 pound girl pretty easily, at least a short distance, so I think most guys can. I'm fairly strong for a girl, but most guys will still be stronger than me. You also don't say anything about the manner of carrying, and that makes a huge difference. Like for example, [and I've tried this because it was funny], I couldn't pick up my DAD in my arms, but I CAN carry him piggyback, haha, and he's bigger and weighs more than me.

I don't think height or weight really has much to do with a person's strength anyway because it says nothing about their muscle mass or endurance. I'm 5'6" and weigh up around 175 pounds. By those figures, one probably wouldn't think much of my strength, haha. But I also played sports for like 10 years of my life, consistently. I've always been a chubby kid and I always will be, but you certainly wouldn't guess 175 when you look at me because a lot of that weight is muscle.

Generally, if a guy is your size or bigger, he'll be able to lift and/or carry you.

I'm 6'4" 268lbs. Gym goer. Carrying you wouldn't require much effort at all. Do you mean in arms? Over the shoulder? On the shoulders? Piggyback? Distributing weight is a key factor as carrying dead weight is much more difficult. You're not trying to hide a body or anything are you -_- ?

I agree with this guy, YaMez.

Everyone's different. Size and weight of the guy are not necessarily a factor. Just depends on strength, endurance and coordination.

i know kids 110lbs that can carry someone who is 180 on his back. height and weight doesn't matter but if he is bigger than you, he could probably lift you

I'm 5'10" and weigh about 158, do you think a guy would be able to lift me?

[Malcom_Reynolds]

How far?

Couldn't tell you numbers, but most of the guys I know could easily carry a 130 pound girl. I figure a typical guy at 5'6'' weighing 150 could, probably even one who's the same size.

lol, if the guy is not a cripple or a skinny loser he will be able to carry you on his back. if he's a hottie, he can bicep curl you lol

[Desires]

You can curl 130lbs dumbells?

[uwbadgerguy]

No, ud have to be a monster to do that. I mean barbell with 2 hands.

There is no height or weight requirement...
