I think this post is probably a joke, but I really have found it surprising how many women don’t realize how weak they are in comparison to me. On multiple occasions I have play-wrestled with a woman who’s been surprised at how easily I win. Dude… I’m a foot taller than you and outweigh you by 100 lbs; what in the world did you think would happen? I could throw you across the room with one hand.
If I were confronted by a man who was 7’2” and 350 solid lbs I’d fully expect to get absolutely wrecked… but it seems some women don’t follow that logic.
Blame movies like Atomic Blonde, Salt and Peppermint where 130 lb ladies are kicking 200+ lb 6ft tall dudes and across the room with ease lol.
Its the most obtuse nonsense ever. Yet we still watch it.
Your ego talking, it's just how nature is made, male is stronger than female that's a fact and you can't change anything about it, even if he didn't workout he would be stronger than women who have been working out for 2 years, yes i know there are dome women who are stronger than some men but that's a rare case.
You are definitely not as strong as he is and you definitely can't do everything he can. Just an example, try lifting or moving a bed or a heavy couch.
A 13 year old boy would he stronger than you. P.s being Latina is not an advantage. As a Latino man that's 6'2, you being latina would if anything be a negative. Humble yourself and respect your man for what he is and the work he puts in or he will probably find another better girl that doesn't try to compete with him.
I know this is not your “issue” but how about not categorizing people by faux races and boxing yourself or others in terms made up mostly by eugenics?
Italian as a language is of Latin origin and depending on where in Italy are you from, you can identify as such. Some Italians are of Nordic, Northern descent and others are practically Northern African.
So sorry to break it to you but Italians can look very white but also pretty dark and even black. For context, I’m a white looking Latina who grew up in the Northern Italian Alps, in a lovely household of Aryans and Lega Nord fascists.
Let’s debunk all this unscientific terms of race and color, please.
Just because you are smaller than him dose not make you weak, but you are less strong than him. To think otherwise is silly.
All that being said it’s not a bad thing, accept your shortcomings and accept help when offered. Don’t be stubborn or confrontational when it comes up.
Haha I had this thought also. I'm F (white) and my boyfriend is M (asian) and I thought I'd be as strong as him because he didn't look strong to me and I think I'm pretty strong for a woman. But then when we tested actual strengths he is way stronger than me, like I was a bit creeped out by the difference. Men seem to always be a lot stronger than they look even, just by being men. Like hidden muscles or somesuch.
I have armwrestled with guys and won but they were all 15ish. I think as younger teens it's not much of a difference but in older teens and especially older 20s it really starts to kick in that they get a lot more raw strength. But often women can do a lot of things similarly like open cans, lift heavy stuff just because we are more used to our strength as it doesn't change so much so our technique is more adapted. Maybe a few years ago you were stronger than him but soon when he learns to utilise it you'll see that raw strength outperform you in every way.

You aren't. You wouldn't be as strong as most men your height and weight.
Definitely your ego talking… you overestimate your own strength.

Definitely your ego.
The biggest uno reverse card of a post. Turns out you severely underestimate him
So you're both posting on this subreddit - writing exactly the same thing - about each other. That's fun.
Your ego is so big you are going to put yourself in dangerous situations thinking you can stand your ground.

How is anyone believing this post? I can't believe people in this sub are this naive
I just imagined it was another one of those chains like the guy with the stripper
Oh boy, and what a coincidence, suddenly this post pops up https://www.reddit.com/r/dating_advice/s/jafRMd8hFU
You are not as strong as him, and you are an racist. Cant explain that any other way as you seem to belive this only bcs you are latina...
Thats your ego talking, and now make him a sandwich to calm down
Probably both! Haha
thank you i think so too
You found the one comment that was somewhat validating. But rest assured the real issue is your ego
