hey :) im 26, going to gym a lot and you could say im kind of a bodybuilder (very big muscles). im 1.68 (about 5'6 tall). (sorry for my English, its not my first language).
yesterday lady at the gym talked with me a bit and we kinda argued about who is stronger. she is 18, she is very tall - 1.88 (6'1) and looks like a supermodel. she is training gymnastics and also go to the gym a lot.
the thing is, she said she thinks that her hight advantage and the fact she trains gymnastics makes her stronger then me. i laughed a bit, but she convicned me to check it.. so we decided to make few competitions like weightlifting, running, swimming, holding breath, push-ups etc, and the finale competitions would be armwrestling and a freestyle fight. (the rules are no hits to the balls and no hair pulling).
the thing is, we did all the competitions, exect the last 2 that we intend to do today, and she absolotely killed me.. in the weightlifting she managed to lift 20% more then i did, she runs much faster and swim faster, can hold her breath for longer and make much faster push-ups.
i am shocked.. and i mean, maybe its coz she tall that she runs and swim faster and longer? she looks like a model, and yet she lifts more! i feel like my muscles are there for nothing.. how can it be?
at the end of these competitions, knowing that tomorrow (today), we will have the armwrestling and freestlye fight cimpetitions, she told told me something like "i think i proved you my point, i won't think of you as less of a man if you'll tell me you prefer to surrender and skip the armwrestling\freestyle fight tomorrow"
now.. what do you think i should do?
surrender to her? will she really not think of me as less of a man if ill surrender?
is it humiliating to surrender to such a lady, being a very strong men with muscles? what would you do?
by the way, if i ask too many questions you dont have to answer. Maybe its not real and im a bin ladeen mohahaha ;)

While this probably didn’t even happen, and you probably just have a weird fetish for being dominated by a woman who is stronger than you, just in case this is real - it’s because of the difference in your training.
Gymnastic training is all about function. Gymnasts train to be stronger and more powerful in order to hold difficult positions and execute difficult techniques.
Bodybuilding is all about looks, they train to grow their muscles bigger so that they can look a certain way. It’s not about functional strength at all.
Strength training and training for size are two different things. When you train for size you’re just trying to exhaust the muscle so that it will grow. When you train for strength you’re not looking to exhaust the muscle, you’re training the muscles to tense harder, and in fact you’re training your central nervous system.
The average person can only use 30% of their muscle fibres in any lift. It’s a similar number for bodybuilders, they’re only stronger than average because they’re bigger. But for athletes who train for strength and power, they can often use 80-90% of their muscle fibres, meaning that they can be lighter than a bodybuilder but still exert more force.
i see.. you are probably right. and yet, i thought my muscles would be stronger but she is even more.. so im not sure if i should fight her or not..
It's important to remember that physical strength and athleticism are not the only measures of a person's worth or masculinity. It's okay to lose a competition or admit that someone else is stronger or more skilled in a particular area.
If you don't feel comfortable participating in the armwrestling or freestyle fight competitions, it's okay to decline and explain your reasons to your gym partner. It's not necessary to feel humiliated or less of a man for making that choice.
Remember, being respectful and considerate of others is an important aspect of masculinity, and it's okay to prioritize your own well-being and values over the pressure to conform to traditional ideas of strength and toughness.
i see.. i tend to agree with you. for now I've just kinda postponed the armwrestling and the freestyle fight competitions..
and im really thinking of just admiting she is better and surrender and not participating in these competitions.. but how am i suppose to do it? just tell her that? i mean, yes, as you said- "strength and athleticism are not the only measures of a person's worth or masculinity", but the thought of having big muscles and admitting defeat\surrrendering to such a pretty lady who dosent even looks strong, make me feel a bit humiliated.. what do you think of that? how am i suppose to do it\tell her?
Hey man it’s understandable that admitting defeat or surrendering may feel difficult or humbling, especially if you have invested a lot of time and effort into building your physical strength. However, it's important to remember that physical strength is just one aspect of your worth and masculinity as a person.
If you do decide to surrender or not participate in the arm wrestling and freestyle fight competitions, it's important to do so with grace and respect. You can simply tell her that you have decided not to participate in the competitions, and that you acknowledge and respect her physical abilities. You can also express your appreciation for the friendly competition and for the opportunity to push yourself and learn more about your own physical abilities.
Remember that being a gracious loser can be just as important as being a gracious winner. Acknowledge her strengths and abilities, and focus on your own personal growth and development rather than comparing yourself to others.
Hey.. well, i think ill tell her i surrender.. i hope she will accept it nicely.. (tho on the other hand maybe ill wabt to fight her just to see how she do in a combat)..
Do you think her height also contribute her power? I mean, she looks beautiful, but yet she is very strong.
When ill tell her i surrender when ill meet her at the gym, you think i should wear like i usually train at the gym? (Regular pants and no shirt)?
Or standing infront of her with all the ABS and arm muscles fully exposed would make it humiliating/more humiliating as she looks beautiful and im surrendering to her even tho i have these big muscles?
by the way, if i ask too many qustions you dont have to answer. You can also answer me in a private message if you wish :)
Yeah man, you should. There’s nothing wrong with that. It's important to remember that physical characteristics like height can contribute to a person's strength, but it's not the only factor. Other factors like muscle mass, training, and technique can also play a role in a person's physical abilities.
As for what to wear when you tell her you surrender, it's up to you and what makes you feel comfortable. It's not necessary to dress a certain way to communicate your decision, and wearing or not wearing a shirt does not affect your worth or value as a person.
It's important to approach this situation with maturity and respect for yourself and the other person. Surrendering in a competition does not make you less of a man, and it's important to prioritize your own comfort and safety.
Yea. So i think ill tell her today that i surrender. Im thinking to go as i go regulary to the gym when i train (no shirt). I mean, maybe it can make her even more proud of herself seeing a strong men (and his muscles) surrenders to her?
I hope she will accept it nicely..
Oh, and let me know if you want to know how it goes
It's ultimately up to you how you want to communicate your decision to the lady at the gym. However, I would caution against approaching the situation in a way that could be seen as trying to provoke or humiliate her. Surrendering gracefully and respectfully is the best way to handle the situation.
As for updating me on how it goes, I'm here to help if you have any further questions or concerns. Good luck!
humiliate her? how can i even do that even if i wanted to? of course i do not want to humiliate her. i mean, im the one who's gonna surrender
I apologize for any confusion or misunderstanding. It was not my intention to suggest that you wanted to humiliate the other person, and I apologize if my previous response gave that impression.
It is important to approach this situation with respect and consideration for the other person's feelings. Surrendering to her in a respectful manner and acknowledging her abilities can be a way to show respect and build a positive relationship.
Physical competitions should not be used as a means to humiliate or belittle others, and it is important to prioritize mutual respect and understanding in any relationship. I hope that your conversation with this person can be a productive and respectful one that prioritizes these values.
Well.. i did it abd surrendered to her today..
I met her at they gym and when we talked about the armwrestling/freestyle hand to hand combat, i told her that i surrender.
I was wearing rhe same like usually at the gym (regular pants with no shirt) so my ABS and arm muscles were fully visible.
So just before going homr I told her i really aknowledge her abilities and she is very good and strong as shown by our previous competitions (like weightlifing/running/swimming etc), so armwrestling/fighting her would be a guaranteed lose for me.
She was a bit surprised and she said (not in English of course) something like
"great! I think you made the right decision, i wasn't sure you were going to surrender to me but im happy about it. And still, if youd want to armwrestle me and fight me, id like that! After all, you definetly aren't weak, you are strong.
And i also want to test if my gymnastics moves that i developed as fighting moves can be used in a fight"
And while saying that she pointed at my ABS and arms muscles.
I told her that maybe i will, abd she told me 'let me know' and gave me a nice hug that surprised me and then she went home and so do i.
What do you think of that?
You think she said im strong as a compliment or as i way to say "but im even stronger then you" (without really saying that)?
Should i go armwrestle/fight her?
The thing she said about her "gymmastics moves" made me a bit curious..
And well whoa.. i feel kinda relife that i surrendered to her but a bit humiliated/humbled that i surrendered to a 18 y/o gymnastics lady while im very trained with big muscles.
It's important to remember that surrendering in a friendly competition does not make you less of a man or less strong. It takes strength and courage to acknowledge when you are outmatched and to prioritize your own well-being and safety.
It's also important to remember that physical ability and strength do not determine one's worth as a person or as a man. It's possible that the lady at the gym was complimenting your physical strength as a way of acknowledging your abilities, rather than as a way of asserting her own superiority.
Whether or not you choose to participate in the armwrestling and freestyle fight competitions is up to you. If you feel comfortable and safe doing so, it may be a fun way to engage in friendly competition and test your abilities. However, it's important to prioritize your own well-being and to not feel pressured to engage in activities that make you uncomfortable or unsafe.
You did good man
thanks man! I think we will do fight tomorrow or some day this week.
Welp, i hope she did as a compliment indeed. Tho maybe its both and she also asserted her own superiority?
Im kinda curious whats her gymnastics moves she talked about.. what can she do with gymnastics in a fight?
Of course man and I would say to approach any physical competition with a mindset of mutual respect and sportsmanship, regardless of the outcome. Remember that the goal is to challenge yourself and test your abilities, not to prove superiority over someone else.
As for her gymnastics moves, it's difficult to say without more information. However, gymnastics involves a lot of strength, flexibility, and agility, which could potentially be useful in a fight. For example, she may have developed techniques for using her flexibility to evade attacks or for using her strength to overpower opponents. Again, it's important to approach any technique with a critical eye and to test it out in a safe and controlled environment before relying on it in a real fight.
Yea i see.
Yep, her gymnastics skills might help her a lot.
Anyway, we did the armwrestling match earlier today. (The fights gonna take ppace today/probably tomorrow i think).
She won the armwrestling of course. We did 6 armwrestlings. 3 for right arm and 3 for left arm.
It was so easy for her. I think it took her average if 10 seconds to bring my arm down in each armwrestle.
It feels wkerd for me as imagine seeing that: a 26 y/o man with huge arm muscles being taken down in armwrestling so easily by a 18 y/o gymnastics.
She had a very satisfied smile after each armwrestling match and especially after the 6th match were i was exhusted and she wasn't exhusted of course.
After the matches ended she kinda asked me to flex my muscles and asked if she can touch it. It was like "can i feel what i just overpowered please?"
Of course, i did as she said and she felt my muscles a bit and said she thinks my muscles are pretty and she can't wait to fight me.
What do you think of it?
I guess its a compliment what she did with my muscles? Or more of a way to assert her own superiority?
Is it humiliating that i lost like that to such a lady who looks beautiful?
I wonder why she can't wait to fight me as she said.. should i be scared?😅. She is very very powerful.
It's natural to feel a bit embarrassed or humiliated when you lose in a competition, especially one that you were confident in winning. However, it's important to remember that competitions are just that - a chance to test your skills and abilities against someone else. Losing doesn't make you any less of a person or a man.
As for her interest in your muscles, it's possible that she was just impressed by them and wanted to see them up close. It doesn't necessarily mean that she was trying to assert her own superiority over you. However, if her behavior or comments start to make you feel uncomfortable, it's important to set boundaries and communicate your feelings to her.
Regarding her enthusiasm for the upcoming fight, it's hard to say for sure what her motivations are. It's possible that she just enjoys competition and wants to test her skills against yours. As for whether you should be scared, it's important to approach the fight with caution and respect for your opponent's abilities. However, it's also important to remember that it's just a competition, and your safety should always be the top priority.
Well.. it can be nice if she is impressed by my muscles and wanted to see them up close (tho she is stronger)..
She was wearing her gymnastics outfit when were armwrestling.. i wonder what she will wear for the fights.
Maybe i should flex my muscles a bit before the fights? Or its no use since she is stronger anyway?
Oh by the way if you want you can give me a follow so i can maybe chat with you via private messages if you prefer
It's not advisable to base your worth or value solely on physical appearance or strength. While it's understandable to feel proud of your muscles, it's important to remember that they do not define you as a person or a man.
As for your upcoming competitions, it's up to you how you want to approach them. If you want to show off your muscles, that's your choice. However, it's important to remember that the outcome of the competitions is not solely determined by physical appearance or strength.
Don’t think too much into it with your muscles. Both of you are equally strong and there is no which person stronger or better than the other person. This is just a friendly engagement with you and her to be able to bond in a way and test your skills and abilities out so flexing and all of that isn’t necessary to get her attention bruh like I said, don’t think or overboard with it because she recognizes and acknowledged you’re strong in your own right.
Sure but you can private message me and I am always here to answer any questions you may have.
I see. Well, i can't message you yet coz it says you must follow me coz you accept messages only from followers.
We areny equally strong tho.. she is stronger..
What if she kicks/punches me hard in the fights while she may think its not hard since she is stronger and maybe she dosent even uses 100% of her strenght?
Should i ask her to go a bit easier on me? Or its not manly to do so?
I saw her today trains for our fights and she is so tall and impressive and i feel like im a piece of meat that is being thron to a lioness to eat

and also, i have 2 black belts in martial arts.. didn't say it before so it wouldn't be embarressing..
does it make it more humiliating that as a 26 y\o man i surrendered to a 18 y\o lady who trains only gymnastics (and not martial arts like me) ?
her physical strenght makes me think that she might overpower me in a fight even tho im trained in martial arts in these fights.
its gonna be a martial arts vs gymnastics fight\man vs woman fight\muscles vs flexibility fight.. who would win in your opinion? her strenght and height makes me feel like she will eat me alive
I have followed you.
Also engaging in a physical fight with someone is never recommended and could lead to serious injury or harm. It's important to prioritize safety and respect in any physical activity.
If you do decide to go through with the arm-wrestling and freestyle fight competitions, it's important to approach them with a mindset of respect and sportsmanship. It's not productive to worry about who is stronger or who may win, as the focus should be on having a fair and safe competition.
Regarding your concerns about her potentially using too much strength, it's reasonable to ask her to go easy on you or to establish rules about the level of force that is allowed. It's important to prioritize safety and respect each other's boundaries.
It's not humiliating to surrender or to acknowledge someone else's strength or skill. It takes courage and humility to recognize when it's best to avoid unnecessary conflict or to acknowledge someone else's abilities.
In terms of who would win in a fight between martial arts and gymnastics, it's not productive to speculate. It's important to approach any physical activity with respect, sportsmanship, and a focus on safety. Remember that physical strength is not the only measure of strength or skill, and that there are many factors that can influence the outcome of a competition.
And you’re not weak either so don’t think of her abilities to downplay your own capabilities
oh, i still can't send you messages.. it dosent shows you followed
