Is it normal for a girl to be stronger than a guy who is bigger?

I have been dating a guy for the last six months. I like him but he is not very athletic and not at all very strong. We went to the gym and I can lift more. He won't go any more with me. I can beat him bad in racquetball and we ran in a 10K last weekend and I had to wait for him. My old boyfriend was 3 times stronger than me and much more athletic. I am thinking I need to move on...

    So you're dating guys according to how strong they are? You have a promising future.

      Randomjelly's comment amused me more than anything else I've read today. In fact, I've forgotten what I was going to say in response!

    I'm sure you mean well, but your boyfriend probably thinks you are a bitch. And certainly not any fun to be around. Especially if you keep comparing your new to your old.

    I'd feel castrated if the girl I was with could lift more than me

    Do you want a provider or someone who can lift heavy things for you until his back goes out?

    My general experience is that the nerdy guys tend to end up loaded. Where as the self loving a donas...pretty soon will realise that girls like his rocking body and will move onto greener pastures.

    How about finding someone you're attracted to all around (including personality), rather than picking one key point. You'll be much happier.

    But yeah, you're clearly not into the current guy. Drop him like a hot donut.

  • Okay, go find some athletic jerk so it will hurt more when he abuses you.

  • Yeah its normal, I tapped this bow on his lip just a tiny tap and he was on the floor crying his eyes out for ages
