Girls that work out, would it bother you if you had stronger legs than your boyfriend?

[NiceChest]

Many women like it when the man is physically stronger and I think the guy should be at least in the upper body. My upper body is stronger than most guys and much much stronger then any Girlfriend I ever had. I find my legs are not that strong yet. I mean guys focus on their upper body and girls want great legs. I would work out often with my ex very fit GF. She had stronger legs then I did. I wondered if that bothered her or was a turn off in any way. She would not say openly. Would this prevent you girls from being interested in a particular guy? Would it matter at all? Would you brag about in front of him or behind his back, or would you like it.

So my understanding is that with most women I likely have nothing to be concerned about. That most girls don't mind if the guy is strong lean and very muscular in his upper body and legs kind of ordinary.

I have stronger legs than my boyfriend. It doesn't matter at all to me.

It was nice, however, that I felt like I had something to offer him in terms of helping him work out. When we started working out together, his legs got a lot stronger because I had him doing squats and lunges and things, when previously he had focused mostly on his upper body.

Sounds like your boyfriend had workout habbits like me. Nice that you could help him. Were his legs really weak and while his upper body was very strong? I know now its not a good combo but its a easy trap to fall into if you are a guy because the TV and magazines focus on the mans chest, arms and shoulders and all we see of his legs are pants.

His legs weren't weak---he had been in the army and so he did a lot of running, but he was built more on top than on the bottom, since he did a lot of upper body with weights and a lot of pushups.

Kind of like me. Running and upper body weights. When I first tried squats I could only do 115 pound for like 5 proper reps while I could bench press 255 pounds. My ex Girlfriend could bench maybe 75 pounds but squat 205 for 3 reps. Now I can squat 155 for 5 so I am improving. My ex Girlfriend said she could do more than me when she first learned squats so maybe some girls are just stronger in the legs and some guys like me have weak legs. Not sure if it is normal. Maybe genetic.

No, I don't think it would bother me...btw, it's normal for women to have a stronger lower body and for men to have a stronger upper body, on average

[NiceChest]

I always thought guys had stronger upper bodies and legs because of testosterone? I know in high school many girls had stronger legs then the guys but guys tend to catch up and pass eventually. I thought I just had relatively weak legs cause I did not train them for a long time and hers were strong cause she did.

Exactly. If you don't train your legs, they won't be strong. Girls generally spend more time concentrating on legs during exercise, since the aim is usually to tone the body for them, not build muscle, like guys

[beans]

And women would naturally have stronger legs because of the whole baby thing. You need have strong pelvic muscles to squeeze one out.

[NiceChest]

That's what my ex Girlfriend and her mother said. Maybe some truth to it. I think testosterone takes over cause the men have all the power lifting records for leg strength and upper body. Maybe pound for pound without training womens legs are stronger.

[arcieres]

In deed men are natural stronger in upper body as well are stronger in lower body, but the difference is less in the lower body. The point is that sometimes we are comparing men that almost don't do any workout in the lower body with women that do a lot of workout in this zone; in these cases we can see what you are taking about. But in almost any of these cases, if the man start to do as much workout in lowerbody like the woman, in one point the man will surpass her strength in that zone.

I like strong girls, so it doesn't bother me if my girlfriend can outlift me.

[Tina1999]

Girls are SUPPOSED to have stronger legs than guys. I think most guys want it that way, and I surely don't wany any boyfriend who can beat me on the leg machines. It's hot, and gives women the classic hour-glass figure that men find so attratice, which is an evolutionary sign of reproduction and good health.

[Mika_W]

Nope. My legs are much stronger than my BF's!
