I'm already physically stronger than most girls, and even my 26yo brother. But then, he never really exercises but I've been lifting for two years.
I would definitely like my man to have some physical strength, the normal kind we generally expect from men, if you know what I mean. However, my own physical strength won't affect how strong I would like him to be. So let's suppose generally i would want my man to have strength level 5 out of 10, for example. My own strength level won't affect that. I'd be a 2 and still prefer 5+, and I could be 7 and still prefer 5+, because I just need him to be strong enough and that necessarily doesn't mean stronger than me. Does that explain what I mean?
Plus, physical strength is nowhere as important as a man's courage when it comes to being able to give protection. I could be married with the physically strongest man on earth who kicks ass in the gym, and then the moment he is out he gets freaked out by a toy gun and he's always the first one to run away and leave me alone when we ever get attacked. 😂 Mental strength and courage takes you way ahead than physical strength.
I would never date a man physically weaker than me. Weak men are extremely unattractive. I am attracted to lean, athletic men that have the ability to easily lift and/or move heavy objects. A weak man is very likely to be a wimp that can't do the things that men are expected to do. If you're a weak man and you're reading this opinion, please do yourself a favor and hit the gym. I'm not saying you have to be built like Brock Lesnar, but tone your body and add some strength. Don't go through life being built like a 10-year-old girl.
I'm not sure. I need to know he can at least try to protect me.
If I found her attractive, sure, but I'm thinking it very unlikely if she's stronger than me in the majority of motions. I'm already over 27 BMI with pretty low body fat and reasonably strong, so if she had even more muscle mass and strength than me overall, I don't think I'd find it so attractive, and I'm not sure just pure inter/intramuscular coordination absent the mass could make a woman much lighter than me stronger.
If it's just in terms of being able to kick my ass in a fight though, I wouldn't mind. For example, I have some big doubts as to whether I could beat Lucia Rijker in a fight given that she's a trained MMA fighter, although she's a measly 140lbs. I doubt she's stronger than me overall though if we did many trials testing feats of strength, but I'm not a trained fighter that way. The thought that a girl like that could kick my ass doesn't intimidate me since even my slim and not-so-strong wife could kill me if she wanted by poisoning my food or slitting my throat when I sleep. Physical strength doesn't make us invulnerable to such things in the slightest, let alone bullets from a gun.
I love strong girl who can protect herself from any kind of harm from anyone including myself...
That doesn't mean she can disobey my request and take action on her own. I love the women can give equal respect. Also I believe in strong men can handle strong women in every possible way...

I would, I want to trust her to not use her physical advantage to hurt or intimidate me.
One of my friends, even though she's not phisically imposing or even very tall, it's very fitness oriented and I admit I was a bit taken aback when I felt her strenght while unloading our truck.
No. I wouldn't date a guy weaker than I am.
No offense, but I am in decent shape so it would look kind of bad if I dated a guy I could snap in half like a toothpick, or I could beat at arm wrestling
I'm not saying he needs to be a muscle head, just strong enough to keep up with me, is in good, physical shape, and won't cry if I beat him in wrestling 😆
I would, because I'm naturally attracted to sporty, dominant type of girls... especially if she would look like Allsion Stokke, she is the type of girl I'd like to feel on top of me ;)
I would, who ever said a woman could not be strong and feminine?
And honestly, I find that far more attractive than one who is weaker than me, I like the idea that she could pin me down and do things to me, or that she can actually put up a fight if necessary.
But of course, that is only my opinion.
No, because I'm pretty strong, and if she was to be stronger than me, she would have to really bulk up her muscles, to the point of not being attractive. I like a woman who has a toned body and has some muscles, but I don't like the look of a bulked up woman.
I like strong women historically, it made up for my lack of self worth/esteem... which was the oppressive abuse I accepted as a child. Im growing out of that, so I change, but still like strong. It wouldn't bother me. A lot of women are very strong in more than phsyical way. Try working 2 jobs, doing laundry, making dinner, dealign with teenagers. They have lot of strength...
So... define strong! Physical emotional power? Whose stronger the alpha male SEAL team member or the wimpy looking congressman who controls with words? Winston Churchill or a soldier? Women often will go for the emotional strength, the verbal one... wit has more power often than physical because they can offer protection. But depends upon her male role model.
I like physically weak guys... maybe I'm just weird lol
I don't know how to explain it... maybe it's for the same reason guys like girls being weaker than them? I think it's cute, I like the idea of wrestling a guy and being able to pin him down. Maybe it's more like a fetish? I don't know though.
I've also never found muscles attractive on guys. I remember way back in highschool me and some friends passed by some muscular guys working out. My friends were saying "ooo I wish I had one of those strong men to carry me onto the bus!" and I replied "meh, I wish I had a cute guy I could carry onto the bus!". They did not understand lmao
I copied and pasted this from one of my other posts because it was relevant lol.
Some of these comments, man! Lol. Shallowness!
I do hit the gym often, and I have been physically stronger than all my girlfriends. HOWEVER, at my gym, I have seen women who are as strong or maybe stronger than me, because they hit the gym 7 times a week.
I have met women who have stronger leg muscles than me, because they mainly focus on that area. I have met women who can also lift more than me, because that's all that focus on at the gym.
When I go to the gym, I just go for general fitness. I am not trying to get swole. Anywho... it wouldn't matter to me if I dated a girl stronger than me. All I care about is the connection. It is funny reading some of the comments, though. Let a guy say that he would not date an obese woman, and the internet will crucify him. Lol. Double standard.
Nope. I want a man, not a weakling. If we were the same in strength or he was just a little weaker, that's fine. But I'm not dating some weak man who can't protect himself. I want a man who can protect both me and our future kids.
Yeah speaking physically stronger, why not? I mean… we don't live in an era where the guy should be strong and hunt scary big and tough animals.
I can protect myself if I have to, and if I can't, I'd prefer he'd stay out of it as well and just call for reinforcements (police or w. e.). Like I wouldn't want him to get hurt cause he feels the need to protect me 'cause he is supposed to be 'stronger'.
My only turn down is a guy that is a lot stronger than me, like he could lift 150-200 kg. Yeah that's scary for me as I only weigh 50kg. I see plenty of such men/guys at the gym when I lift weights. Honestly I'm scared to go to the free weights because it is swarming with such guys. They could snap me in half at the blink of an eye probably.
I don't mind if she's great at martial arts or whatever but I wouldn't like a girl who is stronger. Partly because she'd be a very masculine and unattractive build but also because I like being the man who protects and does man jobs. If I can't now the lawn and put the bins out and move heavy stuff then I'd have to wash dishes and do laundry and I'm not into that life.
I wouldn't for the simple reasons I'm extremely weak (I can't even carry a pack of water bottle) so we'll truly be in pain when we would need to carry the grocery shopping bag.
No, because it would require her to have a body that I don't find attractive on a woman. I like petite women with a booty. If she has some muscle that's all good with me. But if she has enough muscle to actually be stronger than me, then she's likely to the point I find unappealing. Like if she looks like a girl who is roided up from Louie Simmons West Side Barbell... not interested lol. Yes, I'm sure she is stronger than me. That's not the relevant factor. Paaass
I'm not saying it would work out long-term, but I would at least try it out. Physical attributes aren't the only determining factor of a good relationship, though they certainly do help.
I am not working out but I done heavy work during summer and other jobs. All I know is that my weight comes from muscle and not fat. I weight the same as my sister but she can't even do a push up and I and do like 30 in one go. I am diffenetly not weaker than most girls around my age
I wouldn't because I feel like that would be an issue that hangs over the relationship, like ending arguments knowing that she could have kicked my ass would just be very uncomfortable.
Plus, since I'm a regular gym-goer, to actually me able to overpower me, she would need to either
A. Be on Performance-enhancing drugs (not nice!)
B. Be very experienced in a martial art (kinda intimidating)
C. Have a weapon (I guess you can never be rid of that possibility)
I’m not sure I could find a guy weaker than me and if I did I’d probably not date him tbh cuz something is not right beyond him just not being strong
A man has to be weak as shit for a woman to be stronger than him.
So to be stronger than me she would actually need to be a body builder worth some merit, unfortunately the large muscle body type does nothing for me sexually so unfortunately on that basis alone no.
That being said if somehow a woman I knew that didn’t appear super muscular ( by which I mean huge muscles, not super ripped) could overpower me at most I’d be impressed, and wouldn’t actually care at all except for being happy I’ve found a partner I can do very specific exercises with.
I would, I can't date a wimpy woman who can barely lift simple things like groceries. She needs to have some strength, but not too much. If she can overpower me, I would say that is quite sexy and I know she can defend herself. I would actually slightly prefer if she can overpower me.
