Guys, would it bother you if a woman managed to beat you in a arm wrestle?

Question

Waaaaay back when I was 6 years old, I challenged my 10 year old (female) cousin to an arm wrestle. She won with little effort.
When I turned 8 and she was 12, I challenged her again, it was a draw.
When I turned 10 and she was 14, I barely managed to beat her.
When I turned 12 and she turned 16, I won with little to no effort.

Moral of the story: I took it as fun motivation to get stronger. Nowadays though, I would probably be a lot more competitive. It comes with the natural testosterone.

I would not care but only because i do work out and if you are a women and beat me? that's pretty impressive.

Not because i believe men are better on all levels but the fact that we have 3 times the amount of testosterone, essentially... a women would have to work out 3x as much as i do.

Also.. i don't arm wrestle anymore... it's a lot of torque on my elbows and i don't need them to stress anymore than what i demand of them today.

Guys only get bothered when I beat them if they have a big ego.

I've never won, so it wouldn't bother me lol, I'm used to it

polarbear20 · Answer

I'm used to it so it was kind of normal for me. In school, everyone would armwrestle all the time, it was a big thing in our class for some reason and we even had rankings for it separated by gender. Classes normally had the same amount of boys and girls so it was around 15 boys and 15 girls. I was always middle-low middle. My average ranking adding all of them up would probably be around 9th, but I was always somewhere 7th-13th. The way it worked was basically you just had to record all of your armwrestling matches, opponent, how many times you armwrestled, and the result, and then we would collaborate on new rankings each month. My peak was 7th because you could kind of manipulate the rankings depending on who you choose to armwrestle lol, and people weren't dropping from 1st to 15th, everyone kind of hovered around the same ranking because it was based on strength (since nobody knew any armwrestling techniques, no one was a pro) sometimes the rankings wouldn't change much other than a few spots. When I was 7th, I was just armwrestling the guys that were at the bottom to keep my spot. 1st-6th were stronger than me, way stronger than me even... even 6th was a guy who was always around 5th-7th while I was 9th-10th most of the time. He wasn't that much stronger than me but he was definitely stronger than me, I armwrestled him a lot because we were friends. I remember I was 8th and I fell all the way to 13th once because I lost to a girl who was ranked 7th lol... I tried to avoid armwrestling girls as much as possible but there was a rule for some months that you had to armwrestle at least 3 girls for the month. I made sure to avoid girls who were always around the top 5 loool... when I was 13th, I said screw it and armwrestled a girl who was always either 3rd or 4th. Bad idea. I think the top 5 girls were stronger than me based on my little experience armwrestling them and seeing them armwrestle other guys, but yeah... that girl beat me easily. I never armwrestled the top 2 girls who were always 1st-2nd. It didn't change my ranking much because I was already low at 13th so it was expected, I was 13th the following month as well due to this loss and being more bold since I was already ranked low and armwrestling girls who were highly ranked lol. I armwrestled the 3rd-4th girl, the 5th ranked girl who beat me and I beat a 13th-15th girl. That was the only time I got punished for losing to girls because I'd fill my quota for the month because I was cool with two girls who were always 12th-15th and then I'd just find another low ranked girl who I could beat. I'm much more familiar with the guy rankings because I armwrestled them way more. Top 5, I have no chance against, they were way stronger than me. Sometimes I could be competitive with 5th if some lower ranked guy got 5th for the month, but usually the ones that would always be 1st-5th were way stronger than me. 6th-7th were normally stronger, but I could be competitive or even win depending on the month. My best friend was always ranked right above me, or occasionally one below me. We would armwrestle all the time. I thankfully had friends who were 7th-14th usually so I think that's how I maintained an okay spot most months. I used to armwrestle my best friend all the time and we used to be really competitive with each other and no one would ever admit the other one was stronger. He was ranked above me by 1 spot most months, other than when I fell to 13th, he was above me by 3-4 spots lol... but I have to admit he was probably a little stronger than me. He did win more overall and he would also manipulate the rankings by armwrestling lower ranked girls but he had less embarrassing losses than me and his average rank was probably 8th while I would say mine was 9th. He'd really only get dominated by the top 5 guys. I saw a lot of armwrestles as well. The top 3 girls were really strong and would beat pretty much everybody, guys were scared to armwrestle them lol, including me. So I never armwrestled them. They lost to the top 2 guys and each other only. There was 1 guy who was considered the strongest in the class, he wouldn't lose to anybody, he was sometimes 2nd because the guy who was normally second had more armwrestles and better wins or armwrestled more. Everybody else, the regular top 3 girls have beat before. Any guy in my range couldn't beat them. I got beat easily by 3rd-4th so I can't even imagine what the top 2 would've done if I had armwrestled them. I know they were stronger than me because they would be guys that I would lose to all the time. 5th-9th girls were normally strong but would lose to guys in my range and lower. That's why it was a really bad loss for me when I lost to the 7th ranked girl which is why I dropped so low. It was a girl who I never talked to so I didn't really see her armwrestle much. I honestly think she targeted me because she thought she could beat me, she must have saw that I needed to armwrestle one more girl to hit the quota. I agreed to it because of that and I didn't really see her armwrestle ever. It was a good match but she was just stronger. I don't know how she was 7th because she was really strong. She just never armwrestled I guess, and they probably didn't want to put her 15th because she probably beat someone at some point, so she was in the middle. I don't know how they ranked someone who didn't really armwrestle because pretty much everyone in the class did. Maybe she did and I just didn't notice it but I feel like she was always around that spot somehow. It was considered a big deal when she beat me but a few of the girls didn't seem surprised. Another reason I feel like she targeted me is because it was kind of when no one was around. I was just by myself really and people were around but no one was near me. Normally when people are armwrestling, someone else would come and join and then more people and everyone would start armwrestling each other. If a girl would beat a guy, then she would want to armwrestle another guy, and so on, and since this girl wasn't really into it much, she just picked her moment I guess. I'm sure she must have armwrestled other girls at some point but I don't think she armwrestled guys because I never heard or saw her on any results. But anyway, 11th-15th girls were the weakest in the class, so a lot of guys in my range would armwrestle them to fill the monthly quota and avoid losing to a girl lol. It was like a free win.

I think it bothered us at a time but when you're in that setting and most guys are losing to girls regularly, the embarrassment kind of goes away. It was embarrassing at times but most of the time, girls would just be at the table with guys and they'd beat them and the guy would just armwrestle someone else immediately. No one around cared. So now I could say it doesn't bother me much, although I still don't prefer to armwrestle girls unless there's no one around lol

Alessus · Answer

Depends on the woman I suppose, I mean if she was hardcore into strenght building, then probably not really, but if it was just your average woman, then yeah probably at least somewhat, though I think I'd be curious to know how she had just strenght in her arm than moping over my wounded pride or anything.

ADFSDF1996 · Answer

Not really, arm wrestling also involves technique and leverage aside from just brute strength. If she’s smaller than me and beats me in arm wrestling I’ll assume she’s skilled and or has better leverage from longer forearms.

However, if she is built like Gabi Garcia then there is no doubt she’ll probably beat me in arm wrestling with brute strength by using her weight since she’ll be outweighing me by 104lbs

Couchy · Answer

I would actually be astonished and greatly impressed, I once did buy a lady a drink due to her exceptionally strong handshake. She was and army officer.
But then I've been mocked by my friends in the past for liking muscular ladies... :( come to think of it my comment isn't very helpful.

troychapman · Answer

yes and no yes because people will start saying ha you got beat by a girl and no because there's no shame just because they are a girl if they beat you they beat you nothing wrong with it clearly she was just stronger but thats ok she was just formidable and i can respect that it would also impress me

dropkicknj13 · Answer

It depends on the size of the girl. Like if this 7 ft tall Amazon beat me, alright I kinda expected that. But if this 5 ft 110 lbs girl beat me, yup I'd be bothered lol

Shane_B · Answer

No, but they must have some serious strength if they beat me. Or I let them win, and they think they could actually beat me 😂 So I go for a 2nd time and win in 2 seconds 😂

TripleAce · Answer

Ehh ya it would bother me like what in the fudge... lol But I'd just pretend I let her win lol and never admit it hahah

oksurething · Answer

I would think highly of her. I work out once a week, average strength, but I am slightly submissive, so I would actually like her more.

WeirdoWerdo · Answer

Not, it's not about strength but technique I've noticed what a lot people do which actually is bullshit wrong but works good as less strength is needed but puts pressure on the other person

Funerestle · Answer

Now wouldn’t bother me, I like to joke around and play fight and play wrestle. Love the challenge.

king34 · Answer

Im not saying im the strongest man in the world but no regular female can see me in arm wrestling, she'd have to some bodybuilding testosterone injecting , mma fighter or something I'd never and if i did get beat by some monster of a female i wouldn't sweat it cuz she's not a normal girl and she's in the 0.1% of females who could do that to me, now if i were beaten by average females id have to hit the gym for real and id feel like a bitch

Redstang88 · Answer

Well, yeah. I consider myself a fairly strong guy, it would suck getting beat by a girl

nodnol32 · Answer

I have lost to a friend of mine in arm wrestling. It didn't bother me one bit. I just admitted that she is stronger than me. Why get bothered and ruin friendship over an arm wrestling match?

topi_tonge · Answer

tbh , I will not think anything about the girl, but I will be more and more disappointed with my own performance after this, i will definitely not like to face the girl or her friends again

Shreyash108 · Answer

May be a bit shocked if she is a normal girl , but why bother... I have no plans of getting into a fight with her!

Anonymous · Answer

It would bother me in the same way it would if a toddler beat me in a foot race. In other words, I'm not too worried about it ever happening.
