Do women have more lower body strength than men?

[Anonymous]

Women in general have seemingly bigger, thicker , heavier legs, thighs and hips, than men in general.
Most men seem to have thin slim lower body.
Why do women have seemingly bigger thicker heavier lower body , and does it mean women have more strength in their lower body than men do?
A woman can run faster and her kick/knee would be more powerful and cause more pain than a man's?

Women have more strength and powerful lower body

It just looks bigger and heavier than men, but men still have more power and strength

[Hurlyburly]

Women store fat in their thights as a supply incase of pregnancy. It doesn't really have anything to do with strength. But yes, when it comes to legs the strength difference between men and women is lower than with other body parts. Men are in general still stronger there though.

[Asker]

Men in general are stronger but women in general have stronger thick powerful legs and thighs. ... a woman's knee / kick can be deadly and extremely painful I guess... while most men have stick thin thighs

[Asker]

You still voted for option 2

[Hurlyburly]

Well yes obviously I did because womens legs are still way less strong than guys. Fat doesn't equal strength.

[Asker]

Yo said this " when it comes to legs the strength difference between men and women is lower than with other body parts"...
But still say that men have stronger legs/thighs even ththeir thighs are slim and skinnier?

[Hurlyburly]

Yes. While women only have about 1/3 of the upper body strength of men, they have about 2/3 of the lower body strength. Thats what I meant by lower difference.
A skinny leg can still have way way waaaay more muscle mass than a fat one ^^

[Asker]

A man's skinny legs would still have more muscle mass and more power than a woman's seemingly thicker bigger fatter thighs and legs? Is it so in general? Fragile skinny legs and thigh of a man still has more strength?

[Hurlyburly]

Yes... ever heard of testosterone? It works wonders when it comes to natural body strength.

[Asker]

I have heard of this thing called testosterone.
But I still don't think that a guy having slim thin stick type legs and thighs would have more strength and power than a woman's nice thick thighs and legs

[Hurlyburly]

Please stop trolling :)

[Asker]

I was being curious 👽

[dantetheexplorer]

Don't feed the trolls, Hurly Burly. :)

[mistixs]

I remember reading a study that women have half the upper body strength as men & 65% the lower body strength as men

[mistixs]

However, women do have a superior strength in that they're more resistant to infections than men, among other things that cause women to live longer than men (males are more likely to die than females even in the womb, so the longevity difference isn't due to men working harder jobs as many people claim, but a resilience/strength of women). https://www.bmj.com/content/321/7276/1609

I think that female form of strength is considerably more significant than men's strengths, because it extends women's lifespan over men's

[Asker]

Yeah. Men are more powerful in a animalistic/ beastly sense while women have many more other advantages and strengths than males.
I guess it's proved that if men and women have to live without much food and water, the women seem to survive better and longer than men do. Men might have more power and strength but it lasts very short and depletes too fast if isn't given proper food and water

[grega239]

It doesn't deplete too fast... the male body is designed to endure greater physical stress and our stamina recovers faster

Men are also better at survival bcs we are hunters by nature. Women live longer , true , but longer life expectancy isn't the same as surviving better.

[englisc]

No. Look at the difference between men and women when it comes to weight lifting records and race records. Men always score higher.

Women's legs look bigger sometimes because their upper bodies are much smaller in comparison to their legs than men's upper bodies are. Also size doesn't automatically equal strength either, men have more strength pound for pound. For example in the weightlifting scores, you might see weight classes like 60kg men, 60 kg women: they're the same size but the men lift much more.

[ReeceMcQuoid]

Men have more testosterone and less oestrogen, which translates to higher bone density and more naturally occurring muscle, making men heavier p4p, however that's not to say that some women don't have higher muscle mass percentages than many men, they would just typically have to work harder to develop the muscle

[Asker]

So? I know men have more muscle mass than women. But men in general have slim thin legs and thighs while women have thick big thighs and legs.
It seems women would be more powerful than men, but is it so or just looks like?

[ReeceMcQuoid]

Yes, but higher bone density increases weight, and more muscle mass also contributes to weight as well as strength, but everyones body is unique, there isn't a universally applicable answer

[DDpsy]

No they do not. The weightlifting records for women are routinely surpassed by semi-pros

Also, women can't run faster. In fact the difference is so great that the current women Olympic 100m record 10:49s would not have been enough for the men qualifiers in 2016.

[Phanta]

I think that most men and women may have equal lower body strength, but women do not have greater lower body strength. Men can run faster than women on average and I believe that most men can kick harder than women.

[dantetheexplorer]

Most studies put women as having 1/3 the upper body strength of men and 2/3 the lower body strength of men.

[Thatsamazing]

What studies, where.

[Dav1ss]

Most of the time I don't think so men are mainly bigger than women BC they care about their muscle more

[Asker]

Mostly men in general have slimmer thinner Looking legs as compared to a woman's legs especially her thighs

[Dav1ss]

Really my boyfriends legs are probably bigger than my waist

[Asker]

Oh. Is he so fat boy?

[Dav1ss]

No he is a quarterback and I'm a stick

[Asker]

What's his weight

[Dav1ss]

280 i think

[Asker]

Damn...
Height?

[Dav1ss]

6.4 probably closer to 6.5

[Dav1ss]

He says 6.4 tho

[Asker]

How tall are you and weirght?

[Dav1ss]

I'm 5.2 and 88ibs

[Asker]

That's HUGE difference between you both

[Dav1ss]

Yh but I wasn't thinking of him I was thinking of my brother

[Asker]

What do you mean?

[Dav1ss]

OK when I wrote that I was thinking about how I compared in size to my brother because my boyfriend is 3 times bigger than me and I haven't really noticed men having skinny legs

[Asker]

Does your brother have skinny legs?

[Dav1ss]

Smilliar weight to me

[Dav1ss]

He kinda does but my legs are smaller

[Asker]

Is he short man as well?

[Dav1ss]

He's lk 5.11

[elite665]

It’s mostly extra flesh and stuff I mean you guys need more room to Delhi we baby’s also your hip bones are larger again to make more room

[elite665]

Deliver ***

[Asker]

Hip bones are larger to give more room for baby?

[elite665]

You know what hip bones look like? Lol

[elite665]

Frees up space for delivery I’m not gonna explain it google it if you want

[OvershareGamer]

Muscle density is a factor and men have a ton more.

Chimpanzes can be 10 times stronger than humans their same weight. It's all about the density.

[answerALLquestions]

No they're bigger cause that's where they carry their fat

[Asker]

And it doesn't mean strength?

[answerALLquestions]

Strength = muscle
Fat = size

[CoffeeWC]

Men usually excel in both upper and lower body strength. One of the big reasons why women appear that way is because of bone structure.

[Asker]

So it's just for looks and it enhances a woman's appeal, doesn't add to the strength?

[CoffeeWC]

It doesn't add to the strength but women are generally more flexible to make up for it.

[grega239]

No. Bigger and thicker legs doesn't equal greater strength. Men have more bone and muscle density and therefore more physical strength

[littlelofty]

Mo-est women have chilled Bering hips, Dont you think?

[Anonymous]

No. Bend over and I'll show you

[Asker]

I don't get it

[Thatsamazing]

On average, no, males usually still have more.

[_乃尺OЩ刀_TITI]

No those are fat.
