Girls, Do you dislike guys picking you up because you're scared they might not be able to lift you?

I've known some girls that don't think a guy would be able to lift them up and they get shy to sit on a guys lap or even lift them up. How do you feel?

  • So i am 5'6 and weigh around 220 ish lbs. When i wasbt in a relationship i was really scared and my one guy friend offered me a piggy back ride. The fact that he was able to lift me and carry me across the gym was so exhilarating and scary. (We were about the same weight ans he was an inch or two taller) Another friend if mine was also able to give me a piggy back ride. Im not sure hiw heavy he is but he is significantly taller than i am. I had dated a really skinny boy and i was too afraid to let him try to pick me up or sit on his lap. It was scary and he didn't have much upper body strength as well as me being twice his weight. It woukd have been super embarrassing. Buy i could pick him up easily 😧. Now, my current boyfriend likes to pick me up and he's done it a few times with my legs wrapped around his waist but it wasn't for too long. It scares me because what if he drops me? Or what if his arms give out or he can't do it next time. Its always on my mind and i feel super selr conscious about it.

  • I definitely feel like that. Like if the guy couldn't lift me it'd be really embarrassing, so that's why I don't (usually) let them do it. Like my guy friend offerd to help me up onto some bleachers(they were pull-out bleachers, but they weren't pulled out and we aren't suposed to mess with them) and I was just like, " *laughing* not gonna happen". Even though he would have just been giving me a boost(cause I'm too short to get up there alone) I just don't think he's strong enough to do that. lol

  • Yeah, definitely true.

    I mean, I've been picked up by guys before - and not particularly big, or strong looking guys - and they never seemed to have any trouble; but still - every time it happens I always get nervous about it. I mean, it would be really embarrassing if I were too heavy for a guy to lift ... so yeah - it's a bit uncomfortable for me.

  • Not a female (I can read) but I used to pick up female friends on occasion and they usually allowed me to..even though other guys HAD dropped them...but.. when a girl was willing to sit on my lap...I generally took that as a sign that she might (*Just Might*) be willing to have sex...it seemed to work!?

  • Yes. To all of that lol.

  • yea, that is how I feel, I try not to sit on their lap because I don't want to hurt his legs hahaha and I wouldn't want a guy to pick up because I would be afraid he wouldn't be able to lift me up, or would quickly put me back down.

  • I hate being picked up or sitting on a guys lap, it makes me feel like a heffa.

    Or that if they pick me up they're just gonna drop me right back down because I'm too heavy..

    Soooo uncomfortable

  • Yeah that's exactly how it makes me feel! I may not be considered big or whatever, but I get scared that a guy will struggle under my weight. It makes me really uncomfortable. But once I notice that he can, I'd love for him to do it again ;)

  • YES! Haha. I'm not fat at all, but I'm tall, so people forget that I'll be heavier. I hate being picked up, for that reason. I'm so afraid that they'll feel less masculine or something lol.

  • Yep and yep. It just makes me uncomfortable. Even when I was sssuuuuuper skinny I didn't like it. I'm 5'10" and it's just awkward. I remember a friend of mine who is like 6'5" picked me up easily and I relished the moment he put me back on the ground. I don't like it at all.

  • I did have a problem letting guys pick me up before cause I would think that I was heavy or something and have been drop before but then I got with my current boyfriend and in the begining told him I don't like being picked up, but he's stubborn and does it ALL the time! lol but I guess I like it now cause I trust him :)

  • i'm afraid of this

    my old boyfriend and I were going up the stairs to my room one day and he decided to pick me up and then I guess he was off balance and I was a bit heavier then he expected and then he dropped me onto the hard concrete floor in rez. it hurt so muchhh

  • I used to think I was heavy..

    UNTIL my boyfriend picked me up.

    When I get lifted, I actually feel light.

    My boyfriend loves picking me up; he does it all the time, and in many different ways (Over his shoulder, with one arm.) and it makes me feel tiny. :3

  • I'm 103lbs. Unless the guy is a p****, he should be able to pick me up. I hate being picked up because they always marvel over how tiny I am. Then do stupid things like throwing me in the air.

    • A guy is a p**** if he can't life you up? huh? O_o

    • lift*

    • Yeah. :p I'm very light!

  • I dislike it very much.. I'm afraid that I might be heavy to him..

  • Oh my god yes that is so true a lot of boys are like I can pick you up in my mind I'm like yes I want you to but I play it cool because I think I am to heavy

    • That question wasn't for you lol you're just 40kg ;p,

    • Oh OK if that's how you about it Lol

  • nahh its fun i dont have a problem with it and if a guy can't lift you then its embarassing for him not me...i know im not heavy

  • Yes makes me feel heavey, I'm not but its still possible he won't be able to lift me sooo

  • Yurp. I'd never want a guy to be like... "wow, she's heavier than that girl over there was. GROSS!"

  • I know that most guys could lift me up but it's more the fear of if for some reason they struggle or can't, or if they say something, even though this has never happened to me personally. I'm 5'10 tall and therefore weight more than the average girl (140) so this is more a self-conscious issue of mine. I've had several guys lift me, though, with no issues. One even carried me next door when I got too drunk at a party in college haha

  • Well yeah it tough because its so hot to think about a guy holding you had having total power, but most guys justt don't seem strong enough! And I'm not fat but it's just like haging a guy holding an entire person isn't easy and I don't think many people can do it easily and if they can't then we feel fat... And sitting on their lap is kinda the same thing, I just don't want to hurt them becUse I have a boney butt...

    But if a guy is strong enough to easily hold a girl it's super hot!

  • A couple guys have picked me up to sit on their lap while making out, and I liked it. :D It made me feel cute and small. (I'm like, 5'5 and 120 so I'm pretty much completely average haha.) If they weren't able to pick me up though, I would have felt kind of bad...

    But I mean, they were all able to do it, and they weren't exactly the athletic type, lol. It depends on the guy though. I've liked some really skinny guys and I would feel weird sitting on their lap...

  • I love it! <3 that's the one good thing I get for being small I'm 4'7 and 104 punds. And since most guys are taller than me its esayer to pick me up than to scruntch down. :) plus it gives me an excuse to stratle him.
