Are taller girls stronger than shorter guys if the guys weigh the same or maybe even more?

GENERALLY (which means there will be exceptions), female bone structure and musculature is smaller and weaker than men's. That's a result of millions of years of men having to do hard manual labor (plowing & harvesting crops, building buildings and fences, digging wells, fighting in wars, etc.) which caused our bodies to evolve differently.

Being taller might give you some leverage advantages in certain circumstances, but it won't give you added strength - in fact, as the same weight, a shorter man will be stronger (generally) because the taller woman will be thinner and will likely have less muscle mass.

[ScottSummers]

Interesting question. When i was like 13 yo or so i had a female friend who always thought she is stronger than me cos i was a skinny boy back then. We were about same height and weight and she was always saying she would *kill me with one slap*, always looking down on me thinking iam super weak.
I don't know i guess our strength was pretty similar, but when i finally agreed to wrestle with her she had no chance. it always bothered me that she was always trying to compete with me and never challenged other guys who werent skinny but whatever.

[Warmapplecrumble]

I believe that is true if the person is probably at least a foot taller than the shorter person.

So if a girl is 6ft and 70kg with some muscle and the guy is lets say 68kg but 5ft2 with muscle. I believe the girl will be stronger than him.

Due to several reasons, the length will provide more stability and will be harder to reach.

[Warmapplecrumble]

Thank you :-)

[jasonwrestler]

Funny you should ask. I have a female friend who is way taller than me and she thinks that therefor she is stronger than me, even though I know that I'm stronger than her. We have never done any tests of strength, because of her superior attitude I have never challenged her. I guess it's only natural to feel stronger when you always look down on someone.

[Lizzietwentyten]

So why have you never challenged her? Are you scared she might be stronger? Would a friendly wrestle prove which one of you is stronger?

[jasonwrestler]

I guess I'm afraid to lose for her, because than we know for sure. Now we just don't know and I prefer that to knowing. I think Iike to arm wrestle her, because I can win that. In a leg wrestle I would definitely lose, cause she would have much better leverage with her long legs, even though my legs are more muscular. A friendly wrestle? The thought of being pinned by her is way too humiliating. So no thanks.

[Lizzietwentyten]

I don't understand why you think it's humiliating to lose to a girl. Do you think girls are weak? So what if she pins you down? So what if her height advantage is more than you can handle? There is no shame to losing to a girl.

[jasonwrestler]

Because people will make fun of me when I lose to a girl. She will make fun of me when she has me pinned. I don't like to be made fun of. And I will have all the reasons why I lost to her, but in the end a guy losing to a girl will just be called a wimp.

[Lizzietwentyten]

That's just so wrong. A guy losing to a girl is not a wimp. A fit girl like me can take an average guy if we're more or less the same size. If I lose to another girl who is shorter than me, it doesn't make me a wimp, she's just stronger or better, whatever. It's proven that pound for pound females are stronger than males. Maybe your tall friend is embarrassed if she loses to you. :)

[Anonymous]

I think most girls are highly ignorant when it comes to strength, they don't realize how much stronger men are because they've never experienced it. Men are pound per pound MUCH stronger than women. An average 150 lb woman would get RAGDOLLED by an average 150lb man if they fought with 100% intensity.

Even we as men, we know that someone bigger and in better shape than us is not to be taken lightly. From a very young age we have physical encountersl whether with sports or our brothers/friends, etc.

[ChocEyes1]

Usually not. Most of the time a guy will be stronger even if the girl is heavier AND taller. Most of the times, not always.

Besides, physical strenght has faces. What do you mean by stronger? To lift a heavy weight? To perform a especific strenght related labour? Muscular endurance?

And there's also combat prowess, which is something very different from strenght.

[capturemyheartnow]

No. At equal weight most guys are stronger than taller girls. There will be rare exceptions though. Examples girls like Mary com or Leila Ali may be able to outbox boys their weight.

[skinnyguy]

The girl needs to be bigger overall, if she is both taller and weights more than she is stronger. If she is very tall but very skinny then she is weak, if she is just a bit taller and bigger than the guy than she is still weaker.

[Anonymous]

Height is only one factor. There is also genetics. So to accurately compare, you need them to be from the same parents and to have been just as physical growing up.

[Lilmaninthewoods]

It depens on how many neurons can fire at the same time to get ur muscles to generate force. The same princeple applies to both males and females.

[Muhammad1999]

Depends on the amount of muscle mass and testosterone levels , but the girl may be stronger if her weight and size was twice or triple than the guy.

[martyfellow]

No, guys are always going to be stronger, unless they are half her size or something like that.

[Vicky7402]

it's muscle. I've been in fights with guys and won on equal ground. nothing to do with wether your a boy or girl

[martyfellow]

@Vicky7402 Most guys won't put much effort into a fight with a girl.

[Vicky7402]

we were extremely angry and didn't care about each other's safety at all. it was all out wsr between us. I don't think he cared about anything besides trying to hurt me 😂

[OfDeath]

@Vicky7402 at your ages it's different though. A boy vs a girl is not the same as a man vs woman

[skinnyguy]

@Vicky7402 Boys are weak at 15. Wait 2-3 years and they'll be much stronger.

[Vicky7402]

he was 23 and my cousin. I was 13

[skinnyguy]

@Vicky7402 Is he smaller than you?

[Vicky7402]

nope. he's 23 of course he's not smaller than me

[skinnyguy]

@Vicky7402 How could you win then?

[martyfellow]

@skinnyguy Trolls are us

[Vicky7402]

cause I'm strong as shit boi

[skinnyguy]

@Vicky7402 The guy was weak as shit if he lost to a girl like you.

[Vicky7402]

I've been in wresting for the past three years bitch 😂

[skinnyguy]

@Vicky7402 That explains a lot then. If you are in wrestling then of course you'll beat the average guy. But if he was bigger, like 6'2'' 200 lbs, then no way you could have won.

[Vicky7402]

he was!

[skinnyguy]

@Vicky7402 I don't believe you.

[skinnyguy]

@Vicky7402 Maybe you are just fat and that guy was skinny like the guy on my avatar?

[Vicky7402]

trust me he wasn't skinny 😂😂

[skinnyguy]

@Vicky7402 He was fat too?

[Vicky7402]

I'm not fat, he's not fat, but we're certainly not "skinny".

[skinnyguy]

@Vicky7402 How tall are you? I've always thought small girls are really weak.

[Vicky7402]

I'm 5'3. but I pack a good punch.

[skinnyguy]

@Vicky7402 How tall was that guy? Could you give an approximation?

[Vicky7402]

somewhere around 6 foot. he's one tall bastard

[skinnyguy]

@Vicky7402 Wow, I don't believe this. Are you going to tell me you are stronger than me? I am 5'10'' 145 lbs but fit.

[Vicky7402]

possibly. but what I'm trying to say is that height isn't a deciding factor is strength. muscle is.

[skinnyguy]

@Vicky7402 If you are not heavier than me then I think I am stronger because I am bigger.

[Vicky7402]

not nesessarily. I'm strong, but I'm short. just cause you're taller doesn't mean that you're automatically stronger or something. strength is about muscle, height can play a role, but it's not a deciding factor

[martyfellow]

so many girls these days have been raised on Hollywood movies where some starlet defeats 6 armed assailants without messing her makeup or hair.

[martyfellow]

@skinnyguy So there's no point trying to reason or argue with them. It's like when you tell Jackson fans that he was a pedophile.

[Vicky7402]

I'm not saying women are superior or some shit. but I'm saying that your belief that women are less than men is ignorant. women can be just as strong as men, regardless of height or weight. strength is determined by muscle, not just pure height or gender

[skinnyguy]

@Vicky7402 Strength is determined by muscle, but guys naturally have 45% of muscle while girls only have 25%. Considering I am heavier than you, you have much less muscle mass than me.

[skinnyguy]

@Vicky7402 The taller you are the heavier you are. Tall people have heavier bones, bigger arms, feet, longer limbs. They have longer reach as well.

[skinnyguy]

@martyfellow she claims she is stronger than a 6' feet dude who is not skinny. How can it be?

[Vicky7402]

cause I've worked for my muscle. it's a matter of effort, we're not automatically given a set amount of muscle, they grow and get stronger. for me, I happen to be strong enough to surpass my cousin

[skinnyguy]

@Vicky7402 Your muscles are not very big judging by your picture, you are a typical girl, maybe at least stronger than an average girl but still. Your cousin must have given in to you so that you could cheer up or he was just too afraid to hurt you.

[Vicky7402]

that pics from a few months ago. I've gotten a bit bigger

[skinnyguy]

@Vicky7402 OK, how big are you? 120 lbs? 130 lbs? If you are shy PM me. Or how much weight can you lift? I really don't believe you can be strong at 5'3''.

[Kevin11231999]

Girls can be stronger than guys. I don't think height matters. I'm 6ft and my girlfriend is only 5'5 but she weighs a little more than me. She's beaten me wrestling before. She cheats though by using her legs to squeeze

[Intraluminal]

All other things being equal, age, exercise history, health - no. Not at all.

[Anonymous]

Can you answer this? www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q2243915-how-to-arouse-a-girl-in-texting

[Topcat2007]

I have been pinned down and beaten by girls of all sizes

[Anonymous]

Not necessarily. But the height does help yes, especially if they're doing a test of strength lol

[Anonymous]

Um, no. Do you really think a 5'5" girl could win a fight with a guy of the same height? There is much more to it than height.

[dsrice10]

I have lost to women before. I am not very short, but there is a lot of stronger girls no matter what the size.

[Anonymous]

Some of them are, I like tall girls, they tend to be more dominant.

[dsrice]

Yes, most taller girls are stronger then me. You look stronger then me.

[OfDeath]

depends on the fitness levels of both in the end

[Anonymous]

i think height doesn't have an effect on it

[DamnCurtis]

Unless there is a very large size difference no.

[Decentguy]

having too much weed op?

[LastNightmare]

I like taller girls.. what's her height

[Anonymous]

If she has more muscles, he's

[PumpkinSpiceisnice]

No I don’t think so.

[2shredded]

How tall are you?

[CT_CD]

No...

[Anonymous]

Yeah so true

[Opinion Owner]

What's your height? You seem tall woman.
I have a question, should guys shave their legs?
