Ideally, if they're the same height and weight as myself, then around the same as myself, so they could help me out, if we trained together, but otherwise, slightly weaker.
I'm quite into weight training and I think naturally, men are supposed to be stronger, so I'd prefer to be the stronger one, pound for pound anyway, but if they can lift more weight easily, because they weight more than me, then that's fine too.
Either way, I wouldn't be fussed, because if I'm stronger, then yay, but if they're stronger, then cool, I could learn a thing or too and they could be a great spotter, if we train together.
I like a girl to be relatively strong. Absolute strength isn't so interesting to me. There are two types of strength:
1) Resisting your own body (pull-ups, e. g.). 2) Resisting weights external to your body (deadlifts, e. g.).
My idealistic image of a human being, both males and females, excel more at the former than the latter. I do admire strongmen who can lift cars, but I find faults there when they can only do 5 chest-to-bar pull-ups. So I like a more versatile human being: the time who can sprint fast, leap high, climb, somersault, swim, etc.
So if I'm going to be impressed by a girl, and find it attractive, it's going to be more like from her doing double back-flips in ways I can't (relative strength), not from her being able to lift a truck while I can't (absolute strength).
I didn't quite know how to vote as a result. My idealistic image of a female physique is relatively stronger than me in terms of resisting her own body. I find that quality most admirable. But the absolute type of strength isn't so interesting. For a start, I think a much smaller percentage of women are stronger than me this way who train for it, but the type of proportions that tends to lend -- like bulky, heavy on one side, unable to run so fast, climb, etc, was never so appealing to me. Appealing to me with people, but especially women, is relative as I see it:
... or lifting something heavy for her. If one person has to be more like a "strong bear", and the other a "graceful feline", then I prefer I'm the bear in that scenario.
I don't care how strong she is or isn't, but if she's got defined muscles anything remotely like your pictures, I find it masculine and have zero interest. in my opinion, women (when not actively working out or being physical) should have a soft, smooth look.
Maybe a hint of muscle definition is okay for me, but anything more and I'm out.
Stronger than me, I train as a warrior, but the idea of being with a woman who is stronger than me and who desires to protect me is very appealing to me personally.
But I prefer a woman who is naturally strong, who has a healthy amount of bodyfat, but has a good bit of muscle on her, a naturally strong body, where she is more muscular than most women, but where she has a feminine shape, the build I like on a woman would be something like that of a female lumberjack who uses an axe and carries heavy logs, natural, but where she is very strong, and muscular in a good, healthy and attractive way.
The ones in the picture are very unattractive, unhealthy, and they often take steroids, not to mention they usually have V shapes...
If you're strong enough to be able to do things like breathe (sorry Polio patients) then you're strong enough for me. I'm not voting, though, because I don't specifically want someone to be weak. I just don't value physical strength very much in general.
I must say I do feel bad for the 10 guys who want to have a woman be their to protect him when he should be protecting her... anyway, I would wanna be stronger because that is just how nature intended it to be and it would be very unsexy if my wife could have a chance against me in an arm wrestle or GOD FORBID BEAT ME.
@Jaybird19 bro, you can choose how you wanna live your life, if you wanna live as a bata male and be protected (although in my opinion i'm disgusted by it) you can do that. But thats not how you were born, you are allowed to change how you act and you can become an alfa male and be the protector and provider in the family but it takes work. men giving the role of leadership to a women in the house and not being the man of the house is disgusting to God because he intended for you to be the man of the house but instead you are giving that role to a woman.
@Jaybird19 lol fuck you then. According to evolution, homosexuality shouldn't exist so you are intentionally choosing to suck a dick. If your sucking a dick doesn't that mean you are being submissive? what a cuck boy
The weakest teenaged boy is stronger than 99.9999% of grown women so this question is pretty out there. But I guess there are guys who pretend to be weak just like there are women who pretend to be retards (bimbos) to get sucker men to do things for them.
Ae you the same girl that keeps asking this same thing over and over and over?
Your fitness will always be WAY more important to YOU than ANYONE else. Period.
Guys are interested in your level of attraction and desire for THEM. Your muscles hardly even register. And for some it's a turn off, cuz the more a woman tries to be like a man the less desirable she is to them.
I don't really care how strong my partner is... she could have the strength to lift a moutain for all I care and I'd like the fact that she can protect herself and all. But if she looks like a hulking monster like in those examples, it's an absolute turnoff.
I'm sorry, but I couldn't date a female body builder. That's not attractive to me. They look like dudes. No offense. I respect them, but they turn me off sexually.
But I don't mind at all if my wife is strong. In fact, I would encourage her to work out at least occasionally, and it would be good for her to take self-defense classes as well. Because I can't be with her every second of every day, and I would never want anything to happen to her.
Bad poll options for me, I am 260 and hella strong! I want my partner to be fit, but in no way would I expect her to. be as strong as I am. Also though I want girl that feels good about herself and has some muscle tone, the word thicc comes to mind...
I prefer my woman to be about 70% as strong as me physically and 90% as strong as me spiritually. I'm old fashioned and still prefer to be the leader in the relationship and my woman to follow me but I'd teach her in accordance and never take advantage of her. Women deserve to have a man who loves her as Christ loved the Church.
Gross! Women with bodies like that turn me off. They look like men. I don't want to be with a man. I've never met a woman stronger than me, so it's not an issue.
I'll bring the hardware. I want her to bring the software.
I don't really mind. As long as she isn't scary ripped that every time she takes her clothes off I just see mountains of muscle. That's not too attractive...
So... I'm not voting because all your options are bad. You should have simply said "weaker than me," but you ruined it with adding the unnecessary and untrue nonsense that you tied to that option. No vote. Try again.
I don't specifically care whether she is stronger or weaker than me, but I do care what she looks like. Since I am 6'3" and 220 lbs I don't think I would be physically attracted to a woman stringer than me.
As long as she is feminine where it counts, I'm ok with her strength. Physical strength is not the only strength, and most people would agree, I'm the strongest there is.
None of these apply to me, I want her to be as strong as she wants to be. If she's happy with having no muscle, that's fine with me. If she wants to lift heavy that's cool too.
I voted 2 but it's hard to compare men and women. We have serious advantages upon women on that side. So, I love women who are as strong as me in proportion. If she were as strong as me it would be feeling weird.
Sorry I didn't see the poll. But i didn't vote because it doesn't matter if she's stronger or weaker, just that she's not so strong that she looks like a "healthfreak" or work-out addict.
Come on people... If any guy voting first option that must be just for fun. There's no man born who would deliberately choose girl physically stronger. .
