Thin boyfriend + Thick girlfriend, piggyback rides or carrying- why?

[Rosexøxø]

Why do guys (especially thin ones) insist on trying to carry their girlfriends who may be heavy set? They say their girlfriend is “not even heavy” and “let me carry you” and sometimes just end up falling really bad, if they can even manage to lift her off the ground a little bit. Can’t they clearly see a heavy person is a heavy person? Is it an insecurity on his part? (About his own lack of muscle mass) Or trying to comfort her about her own weight insecurities? Or is it probably both?

This is kinda me with my relationship I'm the skinnier one plus I'm not really muscular. I've tried to pick them up a couple times and given them a piggie back. I can do it for a bit but not super long. The reason isn't because I'm insecure or i'm trying to pad their insecurities (Though I do worry that if I fail it will make them feel bad so I try my damnest) It's just that I think picking them up is a good ability to have because it can be romantic sometimes. Plus I also just like picking them up lmao

Probably to comfort her on her own insecurities. He may also want to feel like he can carry her in spite of her extra weight and his lack of strength.

Trying to show off, I guess.
