Would you feel comfortable dating a woman if she was physically stronger than you? That's the question in this thread.
I ask this because I was browsing YouTube I saw a thumbnail of an UFC fight with Gina going up against Cyborg. I somehow manage to daydream about dating a woman that was stronger than me, and sleeping with her (sleep, not sex). I would fear that she would sleep-elbow me, kick me or somehow use her strength against me. And, yes, I CAN'T take a punch. I bleed and I bleed a lot.
Now, I'm not asking if you're dating a fighter, just a girl who is stronger than you. Would you be alright with that, or would you feel effeminate and weak?
o-- Men: Would you feel comfortable dating a woman who is physically stronger than you?
o-- Women: Would you be ok dating a man if YOU were physically stronger than him?

I use to work in a grocery store stocking stuff and I was usually paired up with this girl that helped me take down some isles. She was strong, and I'd bet she was stronger than me. That's fine, it wasn't like we were dating, but I imagined if we were dating I would feel weak and unable to protect her because of it. I know it shouldn't matter, I just feel that I should be stronger than the person I'm dating. In everybody else's relationship I wouldn't care or comment on it, just in my own relationship I want to be stronger than her.
I don't think I'm being a chauvinistic pig. At least I hope I'm not. ^_^
Been there, done that. Then again, I was faster and more agile than her. Besides, dating a strong woman, that perhaps is use to taking care of herself gives a good reason to be a gentleman and make her feel like a real woman. Or that might just be my idea > >
I would have absolutely nothing against dating a woman stronger than me. The only down side I see is that I might have to behave the way she wants, but I could probably live with that.
There is a pitcher on my school's softball team that is muscular. Not in the manly muscular sense, but enough that you could see the muscles in her arms. It takes a long amount of time and effort for women to be even marginally muscular, while for men, all it takes is a few weeks to notice considerable changes. Her physique was much higher than that of the average girl in school, and while she worked out, she would gain more muscle tone.
I don't know about this opinion wise. I would feel comfortable about a woman stronger than me, but physically taller and heavier than me is another story. I don't know, maybe it's a guy thing. It's like a natural psychological truth that we have to be the strongman on the team for protection, and I guess dominance. But not so much the latter. Not sexist or anything, but it's just...having a woman to be doing all the physical efforts that you should be doing just feels awkward. I would know; the guys at school would tease you if you had your g/f do everything you can't physically do.
Ok, im a girl and i've dated a boy who was really obsessed with me and yes, he was weaker than me. I'm a sports person so i'm really strong. Well for a girl atleast. The guy i dated was a video game freak so he was so weak that i could beat him at arm wrestling. But he was a bit stronger than me. When someone would hit me, he would get mad and start punching the person who hit me. He felt comfortable dating me even though i was a bit stronger than him.

It doesn't seem like he's obsessed with you for the right reasons. It appears that he looks at you as a bodygaurd rather than a girlfriend. That never ends pretty.
But he was a bit stronger than me.

You're talking about the same guy, right? If that's the case, make up your mind! Is he stronger than you or is he not? He can't be both.
I haven't dated many girls, and I haven't met one stronger than myself. But at my height, I have a lot more room for muscle mass (though I lack it somewhat). Not that muscle mass and strength are synonymous.
