Girls, would you care if you were stronger than your boyfriend?

[valoriew]

Would you feel less secure about your boyfriend if you found out you were stronger than him? For example the other day I went to the gym and noticed I was able to do more push-ups and lift more weight than my boyfriend in our circuit training class. I took him on arm-wrestling and wrestling.
Girls, would you be turned off if you found out you could beat your boyfriend easily at arm-wrestling and wrestling.

Girls, have you ever had a boyfriend who was physically weaker than you?

[mintscent]

I don't have a boyfriend but I do have a crush and I'm literally stronger than him in most physical activities, lol xD
His weight is normal, but he just isn't the sporty type. He's even being silly when he must exercise in P. E.; otherwise he avoids doing it and sits on the bench watching others and waiting for the class to be over. I do that too (I'm not fond of doing sports either), but I was born with the ability to gain muscular mass quite fast. I was once sitting next to him in chemistry class and he was teasing me saying that my upper arm is as big as his. My weight is normal, just like his, and I was wearing a pullover that was puffy around that zone. One of my female friends overheard the discussion and suggested me to show him my muscles, lol. I was like "meh, why not, I should tease him about it a little too". So I suddenly flexed my left arm and told him to touch it. Lol, you should've seen his facial expression! He was so not expecting it. He was totally blown away and told me I must be sleeping in the gym or something. xD And I'm not exaggerating; all my friends say I'm quite muscular though I don't necessarily look like a muscular person.
Anyway, I don't mind me being stronger than him at all. I like my crush for who he is, including his silliness when exercising.. or should I say attempt of exercising? Hehe. I sometimes wonder if he's doing it to grab my attention or that's just the way he is, though.

[valoriew]

That's a fun story. I bet he wasn't expecting that bicep? Haha. I don't consider my self a buff female. I'm actually only 120lbs and he's high 150ish.

[mintscent]

Haha, he wasn't expecting it; I normally wouldn't do that, I'm actually quite shy, but his tease and my friend's suggestion made me do it, lol. I'm 17 years old, but I look younger, certainly more on the cute and sensitive side than on the gym addict look side. I don't even really like sports. I'm only 5'3 and weigh ~120 lbs, and he's probably ~6 feet tall, so that came as a surprise to him xD
Your weights seem fine :) You know what is said-love comes in all shapes and sizes, anyway :)

[dsrice]

That is a great story, I would have been surprised also. I am weaker then most women in strength contest also.

[ninetynine]

Personally, I'd be turned off. He'd have to be pretty lanky to be any weaker than me, since I'm already skinny as hell.

But I think if I were in your situation, it wouldn't be a huge deal. It sounds like you're just really strong, presumably from all the gym training (but maybe naturally, as well), so it's understandable if you're a little stronger than your boyfriend. Then again, you said you beat him "easily," so I don't know ...

I don't think it'd be a deal breaker. And having some healthy/friendly strength-competition in the relationship is always good for making each other work harder.

[dodger221]

It would be kinda odd, cause guys tend to be stronger, but its not something that would stop me from dating him

[valoriew]

I was shocked at first, because he isn't really skinny, and I always thought he was stronger than me. I did not really pay attention until I beat him at arm-wrestling.

[dodger221]

Yea, that is kinda odd but on the bright side, maybe he'll try and buff up so he's stronger again

[DkBenjamin1996]

That would be fucking pathetic. If you, as a man, isn't stronger than your girlfriend, who you are supposed to protect, what is the point of having the title as the man in the relationship then?

In my opinion the man should always be stronger. Strength is one of the key things that make a man different from women and i think the ability, as a man, to grow marginally bigger muscles is not something that should be neglected.

[Beam100]

sorry but we are way past the stone ages i think you dropped at the wrong time period pick the time bus back to your stop

[Shyguy_1988]

Well, I workout a lot and keep myself in shape and guys are naturally suppose to be stonger thwn guys. I think its safe to say the girls that are stonger then me look like men and are on roids. Not saying that is you of course your boyfriend must just be skinny and not lift or exercise normally. But I can understand why it would be a turn off to girls.

[valoriew]

No. He works-out with weights, but maybe light weights for higher reps. So, he is tone and isn't skinny (about155lbs) to my 125. But maybe if he strength trained he'd be stronger? Maybe if he lifted heavy weight he'd be stronger? I don't lift that heavy at all, but more than he does or just as much. Not to mention my core seems to be stronger even though his is as flat as mine. He lifts about 2-3 days a week.

[Shyguy_1988]

How many push ups does he do? What does he curl or bench? Are you much stronger then the average female? I weigh 153 so I'm ariund his weight

[valoriew]

I did 20 push-ups last time and he did 12. I have benched with 30-35 lb dumbbells and his limit is 30lbs. I usually curl around 20s, which is about what he curls.

[Shyguy_1988]

That is average for a fit female maybe a bit over average due to them being dumbells, makes it harder. I Bench 190-200 max but dumbbells I'd be like 45 its a lot harder. I'd say I'm average there, he is a bit under. I curl 35s 20 is a lot for a female however. Does he do more reps then you? Push ups I can do 70-80 you're about average there for s fit female but he is way under.

[Cleverbot99]

There is this issue of guys wanting to be the protectors and girls wanting to be protected. I can't see things from a girl's perspective, but I guess as longs as there is some special thing in which he's superior, you can still have that feeling right? Like... being really good at chess? Like you're stronger, he's smarter?

What do the girls think?

[Malcom_Reynolds]

I'd be personally shocked if she could, but I don't think it would bother me. Might motivate me to get in shape.

[MCheetah]

They wouldn't be turned off for being stronger; they'd just be turned off at HIM for being weaker.

[llorando]

Well if I had a girlfriend stronger than me, it wouldn't bother me one bit I would just start eating spinach. Seriously most women are stronger than me, but only cause of medical reasong.

[llorando]

Reasong lol, sorry meant reasons.

[mychan]

I wouldn't care if I am stronger because then I could tease him about it

[valoriew]

I have teased him a bit. Its fun!

[dsrice]

I have been teased some by my lack of strength

[MarcusBorino]

I think it would be awesome if I had a girlfriend that was stronger than me

[Agent_Mouse]

I'd find that hot, haha.

[chocolateismylover]

I wouldn't care at all.

[dsrice10]

No I would love it. I like a girl with muscles.
