Girls would it bother you if your boyfriend was physically weaker then you?

[drice_321]

How would you feel if you were stronger then your boyfriend/husband. Would it feel the same if he was stronger? Would you feel less protected?

[evo220]

I'll make 3 points here, 2 of which you'll like.

1. as long as you're confident in who you are, and don't see your lack of physical strength as a limitation, then women (and people in general) will like you. we don't live in a time where muscle-bound bullies are cool anymore. go to any city and check the bars, 90% of the guys will be modern/trendy/with tattoos/and SKINNY.

2. there's a theory that says women are attracted to a personality type that opposes, or completes, theirs. in other words, opposites attract. if a woman is indeed really physically strong, then she is especially likely to like a skinnier/sensitive guy who expresses himself and his feelings.

3. go to the gym, get a pair of dumbells and look up workouts on youtube or something

[drice_321]

Thank you for your answer!

[AlexEfron]

I don't know why this question popped up on my feed after one year 😂 but this definitely deserved MHO. 🤣 the third one 🤣

[Anonymous]

This thread is disgusting. Anyone who is a guy like me, who is in to women being stronger, is screwed in life. It just seems like there will never be a single woman in this world who would be attracted to a guy they can dominate. Speaking of which, how often is it that you hear of a woman who enjoys dominating? Very rarely. There are far more dudes who like the woman being stronger than there are women who like the man being weaker. Weak males like me are destined for extinction.

[angelwithin]

My ex was in fact a lot weaker than me.. physically and emotionally. I didn't mind the physically part, but I think that effected him emotionally as well. He would always want reassurance "you still like me though I'm shorter/smaller than you right?" .. well let's just say.. It was like I was the man and he was the woman.. I need a man, girls can't be strong 24/7.. and if I ever broke down (which I do from time to time when everything goes wrong..) He could never handle it and comfort me.. it's ridiculous. As long as the guy is OK with being physically weaker and that doesn't impair him, I'm totally fine with it. But chances are, he will always be worried about it in the back of his mind and it will effect how he acts towards the relationship.

[DarthGameRuler]

How big are you?

[Hidden_P]

No - I could pick my mum up for instance. My ex isn't muscles, but he's very very slender, but can pick a fair weight up. (More than me now since I broke my wrist) but before, I was maybe stronger.

It didn't bother me no - his actions were protective, and he wanted to protect me emotionally more than anything. I have a lot of people act inappropiately at work, but I used to be physically and verbally bullied by my mother and by people at school. He knows that's the words effected me more than the physical pain. It's not like he'd lose a fight with a twig, but I was never into muscles, and I appreciated everything he did for me. I liked to make him feel manly by giving him jars to open though! (plus I'm rubbish and opening jars ha) :)

[Randomzzgirl]

I wouldn't mind what so ever, in fact I am stronger than my boyfriend and he doesn't mind either. At first he was the one that was bothered and felt like he wasn't the guy, but then I explained that I liked him for him and he wasn't fazed after that. He suffered with Anorexia so I can't blame him :) It wouldn't matter though I am always the strongest because my dad is a body builder and he trains me :) it's all good... But if you want to go to the gym then go ahead and strengthen up, it's all about what gets you in a good mood, good luck :)

[drice_321]

Thank you for your answer Randomzzgirl, You are probably definitely stronger then me. Yes, I should work out as I am a little bit too weak.

[Randomzzgirl]

It doesn't take much :) just start with some laps before the weights they build strength and endurance you'll be stronger in no time. Good luck. Oh and your diet is important as well lots of lean protein and veggies :)

[drice_321]

Thanks for the advise! I will take it slow and do what I want.

[DarthGameRuler]

How big are you?

[provokeesmokee]

Yeah. Maybe?
I've been stronger than every boyfriend I've had. Strangely it was my ex girlfriend who was the first person stronger than me.

That was legit super fun.

But tbh, it was a bit of an ego boost knowing I was stronger than my bfs. I worked hard for that, lifted heavy and trained frequently. Whereas they were lazy and unmotivated weaklings.

So, I don't know. I don't like it, but fortunately my dating pool is becoming more and more active as I limit my matches to people who do similar activities to me.

[toulouse]

im quite strong, I have always been that way. I rarely need help with anything strenuous, & I typically, get the job done. Him being weaker would not signify he is incompetent. I am very thin so people assume I am weak.- tho that's just a retarded assumption on their part.

As far as me thinking he's a guy so its just improper bla bla bla.. I'm used to being able to beat my guy friends wrestling.. So no. it would not bother me, in any sense.

[Murdoch]

That's awesome! How tall and strong are you? I'm 5'7" 137.

[DarthGameRuler]

How big are you?

[libsaretards]

One of the girls I dated in high school was amazing. In terms of raw strength, I was stronger than her.

However, she practiced martial arts since she was a little child and I was new to martial arts when we met. This gave her a huge advantage when it came to fighting. I could hold my own against bullies pretty well, but she could beat those same bullies faster and more efficiently than me. When we sparred with each other, she would win 80% of the time.

However, we were capable of protecting each other and enjoyed that fact very much. We would have continued dating, but her dad left the military and they moved halfway through my 9th grade year. We still talk from time to time, but she now has a family to tend to.

[defiantly_beautiful]

to be honest, it really is a turn off, buuuut I'm a very strong person grew up with older brother and all his friends and no dad so I learned to take care of myself and never have a problem with anyone. so I personally prefer that the guy I'm interested in is stronger than me or at least evenly strong.

[drice_321]

Defiantly Beautiful, thanks for your answer, I am going to try to get into better shape by going in to a gym, you are probably stronger then me overall.

[defiantly_beautiful]

my thing about it is that I prefer to NOT be the pant wearer in the relationship, which is why I prefer for my guy to be stronger. depends on who you're going for.

[drice_321]

Yes, I agree with that, I am trying to get stronger.

[sunshine8052]

I think the irony is a turn on. But it wouldn't bother me one way or the other.

[madmisskelly]

It would.

I don't need a huge buffed out guy, but I need a guy stronger than I am.

I don't have the ability to lift heavy things around the house and fix things, and I really don't want to have to hire someone for every little thing, so yeah, Id like my man to be stronger than me.

[drice_321]

Thank you MadMissKelly, Good to know. I think I need to get stronger overall.

[madmisskelly]

It certainly can't hurt. Do it for you though! :)

[drice_321]

I will be doing it for me, and it certainly can't hurt that is for sure.

[InMyHeart]

yeah, it would. I'm not strong at all so it would be weierd that a guy would be weaker than me, specially since guys are naturally stronger than women. but I wouldn't bee so shallow and not date him because he's weaker than me. I would still like him despite his strength.

[drice_321]

Thank you for your answer - It seems to be pretty consistent.

[xzinax2]

i wouldn't mind,i'm not looking for a bodyguard,i'm looking for someone to love

[drice_321]

Thank you Zina!

[moloz]

I doubt you really wouldn't mind 100%.

[xzinax2]

i really wouldn't...i've beaten my crush in basketball,am taller than him,and can pick him up-i still like him

[moloz]

Interesting. I guess your situation is a little bit different, because while you don't mind he is weaker than YOU, he isn't generally weak.

[xzinax2]

actually he kinda is :3 I'm not very strong or tall,he's just very short and isn't the most athletic guy you know,but it's not an issue,i've seen him get his ass kicked,and have seen him get made fun of-but it doesn't really matter to me,i don't see potential partners as protectors

[moloz]

I thought this kind of mentality was and still is impossible. I don't fully believe it. Unless you like being a little in control (or like fighting for it - think of it like a sexual game) or have a real thing for weaker guys or even being tired of the regular stock jock, I guess it's just plain impossible.

[xzinax2]

lol noo I'm no dominatrix,it just doesn't really matter to me,i don't like controlling,or being controlled

[moloz]

Don't take this as a cheap compliment, but you seem like a diamond in a sea of dull rocks.

[xzinax2]

thanks,for that...expensive compliment? well I'm glad that you see it as a good thing,since most guys think in that good ol' ''me man and strong,you woman and weak'' way and think that that's the only acceptable relationship

[moloz]

I see it a good thing because you're looking for someone to love and you're on your way to find it, not limiting your options as other people, guys and girls, do.

I understand the stereotype, I do feel a little odd in the presence of a stronger female (taller and physically better built) but I'm not going to not love her because of that.

[Anonymous]

i doubt I'd date a guy who was physically weaker than me. it would be a turn off, I want a man that is strong and the opposite of me. as a woman, I'm physically weaker than most men so what would I look like dating some shrimpy weak guy? yeah I would feel less protected and I'd feel less attracted too.

[drice_321]

Anonymous, It looks like most women agree that they would want their guy to be stronger. I am going to try to get stronger.

[cuteLiLbunny]

i don't need a super strong boyfriend or anything, but I don't really think there is anyone weaker then me. but I'd still like him even if he was.

[drice_321]

I don't know if I am weaker then you, but I am not strong for a guy.

[cuteLiLbunny]

thats OK :) you don't really need to show strength to make a girl feel safe around you

[drice_321]

Thank you CuteLilBunny

[TwistedLogic]

"You don't really need to show strength to make a girl feel safe around you" These words are made of gold. I am a strong guy myself (well, not SUPER strong), but I don't remember me using my strength around my girlfriend or any other girl to impress them or make them feel "safe". Thumbs Up :D

[ManaX]

Yeah it would, but it's not a matter of feeling protected, it's more of the fact that if he was weaker than me then he would probably look like he was wasting away.

[drice_321]

Thank you ManaX, My girlfriend called me weak and it bothers her that she is stronger then me, she said it is embarrassing that she is stronger. I guess I need to hit the gym.

[Megan1407]

In a sense, I don't think it would be a problem but protection wise..there may a minor issue. Not a biggy :)

[drice_321]

Thank you for your answer Megan

[vmw2008]

Yes it would bother me. Mostly because I'm already small so he'd have to be teeny to be weaker than me. I'd feel less attracted to him.

[drice_321]

Thank you vmw2008. I think that is what is happening with my girlfriend. Seems like she is less attracted.

[vmw2008]

Well were you always weaker than her? I can't imagine she's all that repulsed by the idea if she's dating you to begin with.

[drice_321]

Yes, always been weaker then her, but now I am weaker then when I started dating her. so now there is quite a strength difference.

[vmw2008]

That probably plays a part in it then. Not that love shouldn't overcome it, but it's similar to a woman gaining a lot of weight after she's in a relationship. Part of that initial attraction is gone. I suppose you can either get back to where you were before or find someone else.

[drice_321]

I should probably hit the gym, as I am not very strong. My arm muscles are a little small. She can beat me at arm wrestling.

[Jazzy54]

For me, that would be impossible. I’m 4’8 and I stay between 110-115 lbs. If I met a man who was less than that, I would think he’s extremely ill and underweight.

[Billlewis]

I love it when the woman I'm dating is stronger than me, especially if she enjoys beating my bare bottom as hard as she can.

[DoubleAgentBlue]

Yes, I would. He wouldn't be able to piggy-bank ride me and do all the fun things I'd want us to do together. ;]

[sunshine8052]

Oh, but you ca give him a piggy back ride.

[Anonymous]

First of all, how is it possible that she's stronger than you, are you anorexic or something related like that?

If you have problems with testosterone just go to the doctor and especially you should go to the gym actively.

[defiantly_beautiful]

are you speaking in just this case or in all cases? because there are plenty of instances in which a guy is weaker than a girl.

[Opinion Owner]

Mainly on this but then again it applies to everyone.

But I can't really know how else a girl can be physically stronger than a man unless she takes testosterone .. huh

[KarKingJack]

Some girls work out and stuff, a girl who works out is gonna be stronger than a guy who doesn't, right?

[Opinion Owner]

Not at all, huh?

You guys are having some sort of testosterone deficiency or something, even most of teenage boys who aren't anorexic get better results in gym alone than adult women who've been going to gym for years (not counting the ones that take testosterone).

[-StillWater-]

Yes. It would really bother me. And I wouldn't feel like the girl in the relationship.

[drice_321]

Thank you StillWater, Good to know.

[sourpatchchik2]

If he was weaker than ME, with these noodle arms...we'd probably have a problem. Lol.

[MissBoogus]

Yes it would bother me. I absolutely love having a boyfriend that overpowers me

[bel42]

most probably I would be bothered by it. I want a guy that is stronger than me.

[drice_321]

Thank you for your answer Bel42
