Guys are stronger then I thought?

Question

I was playing with my boyfriend last night and wanted him to hold me down and see if I could get out of it. Thought it wouldn’t be too hard.

Well I could barely move at all no matter what I did he had me completely pinned and just trying to get away with little progress exhausted me.

It’s honestly surprising just how strong men actually are in comparison to you. You get told that all your life but until you actually experience it first hand it doesn’t seem real.

Of course. I’m sure there’s a handful of women who are stronger than some dudes but a majority of men are stronger than women. You hear about how women would talk about beating a boy at sports, maybe wrestling, who could compete w the boys, possibly even win. But as time went on that was no longer the truth, but a lot of girls still maintain they can beat up a man. Most times men don’t even go all out if they’re going up against a girl. So she may say well I did pretty good he couldn’t even take me down. Yes because he wasn’t even really trying.

How much does he weigh and how much do you weigh?

How tall are you and how tall is he?

What's your health status? What's his?

But yeah, in general it's because they have more muscle fibers, more dense ones I heard than women. Especially if a man works out, and a woman works out in the same fashion, watch the man develop stronger, bigger muscles sooner/faster too. It's sad but we are all different. Women can bring forth life and men protect his brood! That's nature and it's beautiful!

You're a grown ass woman (32) and you just realized men physically stronger then women? 🤦🏻‍♀️ They have higher testosterone then women. We have almost nothing they have like 800+. It ain't even funny.

Men have a lot of grip strength. They have a lot more power in their forearms than women. They also have a lot more fast-twitch muscle fibers than women, which gives them much more explosive power. Men are also built more robustly than women. Their hands are bigger, their bones are thicker, their muscles are more dense, their skulls are thicker ( more ways than one lol), and they're much more aggressive in a confrontation than women. Men hit really hard too in comparison to women and they can take punches better too. Men can take punches from other men that would knock out a woman cold.

This is why all of those women's self-defense courses are bullshit. They're not gonna work. Carry mace with you. Or a small knife. Or a gun even. Shoot the bastard. Whatever evens the odds. Law be damned. A woman should do whatever necessary to protect herself. The courts will go easy on you guys anyway, especially if he's a known scumbag.

kellytheman · Answer

Yeah it makes since we are built differently having more body mass, have a stronger upper body and usually taller. Not saying a women can’t be stronger than a man but use guys can build muscle faster and probably have more of a physical job to keep us physically fit.

My girlfriend was 98 lbs when we met she has put on a significant amount of weight she’s about 130lbs now and she honestly believed she was too heavy for me to pick up her jaw dropped when lifted her and sat her on my shoulders

I could clean and press 130 in middle school that’s lightweight 😂

KillinItHard · Answer

I'm gonna go ahead and state the obvious... testosterone. Whether women like it or not, it IS a factor when it comes to one of the differences between the sexes. It's why men shouldn't be allowed to play woman sports, no matter how you "identify". There is an unfair advantage and always will be.

I'm not saying we're superior by any means but, in terms of strength... we males tend to have the advantage, most of the time anyways.

I'm short and rather on the skinnier side... it drives me mad tbh... I'm not a weakling, but biology doesn't lie... I'm smart, they have muscles... there is some balance in this word :D

XXTruthfulOgrexx · Answer

Always. Most women don't realize it but even in practicing combat sports, men rarely use full force.

Even a small teenager fueled on anger and testosterone can do an amazing amount of damage to a full grown woman.

FenixG45 · Answer

Yup, my old girlfriend used to work out in a gym and she thought she was pretty strong and wanted to test it. I laid on my back she sat on my stomach and pinned my wrists above my head to the bed.

Within 30 seconds, I was up & was pinning her down. She couldn't believe it.

AviatorTom · Answer

Men are generally stronger than women, and physically larger. That's the difference between testosterone and estrogen. Plus, once someone is properly pinned down, it's very difficult to get out of it.

You've been listening to messages all your life like what @Nikki1989 said here. The reality is that 99% of men are WAY stronger than 99% of women. There are a few exceptions, but they are rare. Even when a man and woman are exactly the same height and weight, the man can easilly overpower her because men and women are built differently.

Berethor · Answer

Yea, now you see why trans should no be allowed in women's sports.

7Phoenix7 · Answer

Yeah, I realized just how stronger they are in 9th grade. Scary af... lol.  I also did what you did with my ex.

4ngelic · Answer

Ashley1993 · Answer

Much stronger  I've had my humbling experiences as well lol

hbg84 · Answer

I feel bad that you honestly believed men werent strong. Movies and tv shows have brainwashed women into thinking they can beat up men. You take a 120 lb woman and a 120 lb man the man wins 9 out 10 times

Redstang88 · Answer

You’re just figuring that out now?  Women tend to wildly underestimate just how much stronger men are, realistically all these women self defence classes are pretty pointless

NathanDavis · Answer

I think most people... do not doubt it one bit

LiamJHayden · Answer

Not surprising. At similar ages and fitness levels, men tend to be 20% to 40% stronger pound for pound. There are many, many exceptions of course.

SixFootSexy · Answer

Women need more roughhousing with their brothers as kids.

NYCQuestions1976 · Answer

That's generally the case. Are there exceptions? Of course. However they're few and far between.

DarkWinterNights · Answer

Most men are taught at a young age to be easy on girls.

TooHot2Care · Answer

i am genuinely shocked that so many of you are figuring this out now….

Sparkie460 · Answer

It really depends on the man. There are some guys that are very weak, then you have us strong guys.

HouseMoat · Answer

LOL, no, you can't just make a blanket statement like this
