Girls, do you prefer strong or weak guys?

Question

Guys prefer physically weak girls because it's more attractive and feminine so I'm guessing a majority of females prefer strong guys because the guy can 'protect' them and it appears more masculine

Is there anyone out there who prefers weak instead of strong?

I mean, I like skinny guys, so I can't complain if they're weak...but I know guys tend to have some amount of strength anyhow

I'm in pretty good shape but as far as strength goes am probably on the weaker side. The interesting dynamic is that it I'm a tall/slender girl, 5'11 and around 138 lbs so I've been with taller and shorter guys. The last two shorter guys I've been with have been able to make up for the lack of height and were quite stronger and able to handle me when we would wrestle around...and the taller ones have all been skinny and pretty weak.

As far as what I prefer, physical strength doesn't really play a factor. You always hear about wanting to feel protected but I've yet to be in a situation where I've needed to be protected in a physical manner by my boyfriend. Last I checked it's 2013 AD lol

Meh, doesn't matter too much to me. If your strong, than you could play the rougher sports with me, which I like. Such as football, basketball, waterpolo. But if your weak that doesn't cancel you out in my book, doesn't mean your not just as fun to throw a frisbee with!

But since I do happen to be a strong girl (not like, muscular, just strong), I'd actually like a weak guy. Not like, a limpy mess of nothing, I like to have fun, rain or shine. As long as your willing to have fun, I don't care if your strong!

Strong men for sure,  I'm a very feminine lady.  But I don't consider myself as week at all.  My man actually likes that I'm strong,  And I believe the opposite men likes girlie girls but with a strong character.  I;m sorry as I'm tyoing I'm reading what you asked again,  You're talking about physically.  I still believe the opposite that men like a feminine look but with a toned body,  It doesn't have to be over muscular.  But a womanly body but fit.  That's what I am

well I would prefer a girl with equal strength, at least :)

i like physical stuff like play wrestling... it is always more fun if she is good challenge :)

i also like lift and carry stuff, my girl should be able to pick me up as well, as I can pick her up :) it is a nice foreplay for me :))

but I m not a little guy, I am 6'0 so unfortunatelly there are not many girls who are strong enough to pick me up :P well even the strong ones usually don't prefer to show that... I don't know why but most girls are shy about that..

girls: is it really wrong if you were stronger that the guy you like?

This desire goes back to caveman days.  I find it really interesting all of this gender evolutionary stuff (look it up if you have no clue what that is lol).  Bascially you're right with the woman wanting protection and feeling safe.  The evolutionary reason for why guys like shorter women is that they tend to have a more feminine look to them.  I feel like it's just a correlation between short women and the fact that they just look more girly.  However I am no expert,  if you have more questions ask away.

I don't know, I kind of like my boyfriend's scrawny arms, haha. I think we're kind of backwards because I'm a lot stronger than he is and I actually enjoy helping him carrying heavy stuff and such.

I wouldn't change him, I don't think I have a preference.

I'm attracted to both at times.

It's really weird but watching films where there are weak, vulnerable guys I start to find them attractive, like I want to look after them, particularly if they are wrongly bullied.

Real-life guys with square shoulders and who are able to pick me up are quite attractive initially, but then I don't like seeing HUGE muscles; the guy looks self-obsessed and almost not human.

The guys I have actually had long-term crushes on develop after a while of knowing them, no matter what they look like or how strong they are. I would never end a relationship based on strength anyway.

i don't want a weak woman who can't do anything  because that would just annoy me if I have to do everything. But I would like a woman is weaker than ME and smaller than me. I'm a bit of a protector sorta guy so I wanna hold her in my arms and keep her safe and let her know that I'm hers and she's mine ;)

Skinny guys ftw. I would prefer if they could lift the boxes my puny little body can't handle, but I couldn't care less about how physically strong a guy was.

I like strong guys because I play water polo and if I date a weak guy, I'd probably be stronger than him..awkward haha

Hi

Well, my 12 year old, 112lb brother is stronger than my 30 yo 160 lb boyfriend...and we've been dating for roughly 2 years. it doesn't really bother me. I'm curious of what other females would think of a boyfriend like that. But it doesn't bother me, because there are other ways he could defend me.

What could anyone possibly tind attractive about weakness, in either sex? My fiance is a very strong woman, which I find appealing. After all, what fun would it be to dominate a weakling?

calialltheway1993 · Answer

Strong guys... you kidding? @update: I doubt any girl wants a guy that is weaker than her.

AmbiBambi · Answer

It Doesn't Matter To Much To Me. If Its A Guy I Like And I Find Him Attractive Than Id Go For It. For Me Its More Abbout Personality But I Guess I Wouldn't Aproch A Guy Unless I Found Him Attractive. But I Like Skinny Guys And Other Guys I Guess Its Just Whoever Catches My Eye. :)

Personally I'm strong in the out side but I'm still human and have feelings. I noticed that a lot of girls like the feeling of being needed. You can be strong and protect them from other people but you have to be gentle and caring about there problems. You also need to be weak and talk to the about how you feel and how ther are important to you.

LonelyandInTheDark · Answer

strong guys are quite attractive, not necessarily in appearance (well kinda), but in his demeanor and yeah, other things...

pr3ttybr0wn · Answer

A guy HAS to be masculine and strong for me. If he's skinny then he has to be manly with it

Malcom_Reynolds · Answer

Personally I prefer athletic girls.  Not like really muscled girls, but toned, and that usually makes them more physically strong.

Well I've seen one girl at the gym who was just an average girl pushing more weight than her skinny boyfriend... Lol so yea there are some I suppose
