Guys would you care if your girlfriend was stronger than you?

[AlongCameCindy]

Yes

No

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

I could intellectualise about how "she doesn't care that I'm physically weaker than her", but it would always be an unanswered question as to whether she secretly is less attracted to me as a result. In nature, women are the selectors, and men are the selected (or not), so we're extra-sensitive to any factors that may tilt the odds of being selected against our favour. It's not that I want her to be "more weak" than me, per se. I just don't want to be viewed as "less strong" within her own perceptual framework. And I'm not convinced there's any sweet little words she could whisper in my ear to make that uneasy feeling go away. If something goes bump in the night, it would feel wrong to me if she's the one going "babe I'm stronger than you, so I'm gonna go downstairs with the baseball bat to see who's in our house". Of course she wouldn't literally say it like that, but that's the implication. The man should be the protector, and women select men who can optimally play that role. I'm not saying women CAN'T be stronger than men, or even that they SHOULDN'T. But let's be honest here, no woman ever got her panties wet thinking about how much physically weaker her man is compared to herself.

Funny ending 😂😂😂

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

If I knew for a fact that a girl could beat me up or manhandle me anytime she wanted I would not be able to go on a date with her.
It's a dice roll if that person can be trusted or not and I prefer to know that I can defend myself in things get ugly. Adn honestly since usually girls aren't as strong as guys I think that the ones that are like to show that strength. I saw it happen to new guys everytime they stepped in martial arts practise. So I have a time trusting strong girls right away.

However if a girl I was dating for a long time, that I had 100% trust one started doing mma or powerlifting and got stronger than me, no big deal. I can trust her and know she won't hurt me just because. I can keep a relationship with her no mattr how stronger than me she is.

@alongcamecindy I would like to know your prespective on what I said.

[AlongCameCindy]

I mean I get a guy not wanting it from a masculinity point of view but not really in terms he’d worry she’d hurt him lol

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

I know I have a slightly different point of view xD

[WowwGirl]

Perfect view

[LEETSBEREAL]

Dominate/aggressive type men the ones that always need to be in control no. They are hardwired to protect so it wouldn't work you have actually removed thier purpose. Any man I've beaten who have been all sweet talk and flirty in the beginning abruptly change thier mind by the time I am finished with them. They don't want to know me after that.

[Elsa_Schneider]

Would you really want to date a guy you could beat? Think about it before you answer. Think real hard on it.

[LEETSBEREAL]

Think hard on what? Clearly your the one who needs to do the hard thinking. Coz it's not that hard. I am a protector it means I don't need looking after. I do the looking after. My ability to beat him may make him less of a man in your eyes because you have limited thinking. Physical strength is not all that makes up a man and believe me me there is more to life then who can win in a fight. It doesn't bother me that I can beat him. There will be things that he can do that I can't.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

@LEETSBEREAL as long as he is a good man you wouldn't mind if he could beat you right?

[LEETSBEREAL]

@ThisIsMyOpinion tbh what your describing sounds to me like an opponent because the two just don't mix. It's either one or the other. There isn't room for both.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

So that is a no.

[LEETSBEREAL]

Let me put it simply I cannot be with another fighter I am far to competitive and it will interfere with the relationship. I have a feminine look which I can't do anything about but a lot of masculine traits. This is not what most men want in women which is why most men don't date women like me. They want to at first but when they realize what I am they change their mind. The same way I would change my mind if I was in thier position.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

Nothing wrong with wanting a more submissive partner.
I know some men dream about dominant woman.

[Elsa_Schneider]

Lmao, when I looked back at what I wrote "Think about it before you answer. Think real hard on it.". I just realized I sounded like an asshole.

Believe it or not I was thinking calmly about those words but looking at it on text makes it sound like I was being a jerk lol.

[TheCloud2]

Well, no woman can be stronger than a man.

[LEETSBEREAL]

@ThisIsMyOpinion - Ha ha ha so I've been told! What can I say I take no prisoners.

[LEETSBEREAL]

@Elsa_Scneider Oh! that's the thing about text can come across differently. Don't worry about it

[LEETSBEREAL]

@TheCloud2 - Your right a woman isn't stronger then a man and I never said that I was. Esp one of my size. But I in fact don't use strength to take down men double my size and it didn't happen over night. It took years of training and mastering techniques. You have to get it right. You see many men think this way she is so much smaller then me, weaker then me I have nothing to worry about. It's a mans biggest weakness and already I have been given me the upper hand by being underestimated coz he doesn't see me coming. Wants to go easy on me coz he thinks like you. Well I am used to it by now and its only made me stronger coz Its given me more practice. Not everything is about strength. I just hope your arrogance doesn't cost you injury one day.

[TheCloud2]

Doesn't cost me injury well haha you have to be more than a master technique to take me down honey, if you think you're good just because you took 1 or 2 men down because they underestimated you, well, be careful not become the one who underestimates his opponents.

[LEETSBEREAL]

@TheCloud2 😂😂😂😂 It's been a lot more then 1 or 2 men did you read anything I wrote? Or are you to caught up in your egotistical self? Don't worry me having to be 'more then a master technique to take you down'. I hear that line or something like it all the fucking time 💤 Why do you think I am victorious? Maybe it's to much work for your brain to do. Let me help you. It's because I don't underestimate my opponents. Never. I take everything into consideration. I even give them the floor to begin with just to see what I am working with. Keep judging me if it makes you feel better about yourself. Its alright I am only stating facts but you carry on.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

@TheCloud2 she is not saying she is invencible. She lost to men who don't underestimated her. She is saying many guys did and lost and that she can't have a relationship with a guy that can beat her.

[LEETSBEREAL]

@ThisIsMyOpinion - Oh wow that was ages ago. I don't waste time I already re-matched 2 and beaten them both but they are still assisting with my training coz there is always room for improvement. I will re match them again after lock down. No I am not invincible nobody is as I have stated I will only get better. I am training every day. Even now everything is shut down.

[TheCloud2]

@LEETSBEREAL Oh yeah? Well
1. Who said that I underestimate my opponents?
2. And what is it that you train in? Boxing? MMA?

[LEETSBEREAL]

@TheCloud2

1. Clearly your underestimating me if your using my gender as leverage so if you do it to someone you don't know chances are you do it elsewhere.

2. Both those and Muay Thai +Judo for now that's it.

[BusyLizzie321]

My ex cared, but my current partner doesn't. I can lift my SO up which he thinks is hilarious, but he is also pretty strong just far lighter 😅

[Cleverbot99]

So do you care?

Who wins at arm wrestling?

[Reaperbot666]

mostly depends on the aspect of her strength. there are many situations where having a strong woman. who is physically by your side would be a good thing same with mentally strong.

but even stronger then the guy she is with might be helpful.

however if she is totally stronger then the guy. she would most likely not be with him for long. sense many women prefer a guy to be equally as strong if not stronger then they are. because they often believe him to be a weak man.

[Finchie40]

Yes I would care , cuz if she knew she could kick my ass then she would consider me a wimp and then she would totally lose interest , girls are turned on by feeling protected and safe by their man , if she didn’t feel that with him she would go for someone else , unless she likes to be dominate in bed , I usually go for submissive girls

[Cleverbot99]

As long as she's not better at every sport, it's alright.

Like if she had stronger arms, legs, belly muscles, ... then I'd like start lifting weights to beat her at arm wrestling. To not feel completely inferior and so that I can counter any kind of teasing with 'Oh, do you want me to beat you at arm wrestling again, hmmmmm?' :D

[Anonymous]

im a submissive in the bedroom and so I actually like it. It suits the dynamic. My girlfriend has legs and glutes of steel and she's a blackbelt.
But one of the nicest people I know and I couldn't ask for a better girlfriend.
So no, the fact she chooses to go to gym and work hard does not bother me.

[Bananaman177]

Just because she's stronger doesn't mean much unless she's equally trained.

I'd still smash her if her technique is poor.

[AlongCameCindy]

Very true

[horsenrhinounicorn]

I had a girlfriend that was stronger than me, I would take her to practice matches with guys and it was so funny seeing them shocked at how strong she was. They were turned on by it with having someone who enjoyed doing the same sports as them. There are a few guys out there that have a dream girl that healthy and trim instead. It depends on how she interacts

[Kurαȷ]

Yes, I would care, because I lift.
I don't know what a woman who is stronger than me looks like, but I'm certain that I wouldn't consider it physically attractive.

She can outrun me, though, I can't run for shit.

[Misterpoll]

sincerly, the question is confused, cause 1st you wrote: if your girlfriend was stronger than you, then you posted a photo with a boxing girl.
So if you mean a girl which is very muscolar, stronger than a average man, probabily most men will say not
But if you mean a girl who is very good in martial arts, that doesn't mean that she must be very muscolar, she could have a feminine body and this is attractive for many men

so the results could be very different

[existential_laments]

I thought they meant to ask if it bothered them in an emasculating sort of way and not about attraction.

[Jjpayne]

I'd totally think it was hot! If my girlfriend knocked me out with a punch, id be all over town with her , mumbling in pride "MI gurlfend, pumched MI" :)

[Carsongrettler]

Omg it is so hot my girlfriend teases me and flexes her muscles and she loves arm wrestling me she always wins

[Anonymous]

Never thought about it and even it is nearly impossible, probably 1% of all women would be stronger than any man anyway, so chance is nearly impossible.

Regardless of what movies and feminazi or feminazi movies tells you...

In case she would it would be not easy with all mood swings and feelings...

[MannMitAntworten]

It would be a first... in fact, a similar question added a spark to a previous relationship. But to answer your question, no, it I would not. But understand, I prefer my feminine packages to be strong and aggressive because I am. I love a woman who falls on the predator side of things. It’ll make us a good killing pair...

[MannySimms]

NO! Been there, done that. She was "skinny fit" with biceps much larger than mine. She took complete charge in bed and I had the best orgasms ever!

Good times!

[vandeg]

It wouldn't bother me one bit, it actually would be beneficial if she could actually spot me at the gym... because at that point of her being stronger than me, that would mean that she isn't into much cardio or have a week full of leg days or zumba classes...

[MrGrimsmith]

Nope, not an issue. Same as if your partner was smarter or more charismatic than you (admittedly the latter is very likely in my case. Curmudgeonly is a wonderfully descriptive word and rather apt for me).
I would imagine that many men would see it as a challenge or threat. While I may have many insecurities that isn't one of them.

[Elsa_Schneider]

Bwahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa most of the dudes here are BULLSHITTING YOU. They do give a damn if their girlfriend is stronger. Instinctively most guys wants to feel like the protector and impress their woman. Years of evolution is coded into us.

I think many guys here watch too much hentai with weird girls so they often times think in real life they would date a weird chick but instincts will always take control. It's like how women say they would date short guys but end up with tall husbands.

[ShadowofRegret]

Most guys: "I want a girl who is delicate and vulnerable that I can protect."

Me:

[Anonymous]

yeah but that's because I'm 6'2" and in pretty good shape. I might not have a male stripper body but I'm a large guy and any woman stronger would have to be manishly large and thus probably undesireable to me-not because she was "stronger"

[Herbie_Otch]

I am very much drawn to strong women, whether we're talking about physical strength, strength of character, personal empowerment, etc. The idea that women are a weaker sex is extremely antiquated, and one I'd love to see us evolve past.

[ThiccNigro]

I'm not trying to sound arrogant but I'd genuinely wonder if she was using roids

[AlongCameCindy]

😂😂😂

[Anonymous]

I’d feel a bit awkward. That said it’s pretty rare- there are women who are stronger than me but they’re elite lifters. I’m likely to be stronger than even most fairly large fitness junkie women who lift heavy.
