Um you don't demean him for it. Or at least just keep it between the three of you. Teenagers lol.

Well, I'm actually 23 and bf is 27. But no I don't demean him for it. It's ironic!

That's even worse LMAO!!

My last girlfriend and I used to wrestle all the time. She's strong as ****, was in the gym a few times a week working with weights, and actually had a couple pounds on me...which I chalk up to the muscle mass and big breasts lol I drink beer.....that's about it as far as a work out goes.

Sometimes it would be a struggle, but then I just turned up the juice and it would be all over. Didn't matter how hard she tried, in the end, I won. And I'm a twig. She would feel the same way your bf feels, simply because I do NOTHING and would still win lol


As far as I know, toning isn't helping him get stronger...so that doesn't matter. Unless he can take you out with a well defined chest.

But he does run, right? Maybe he should have fought you with his legs instead.

One of the girls I dated over the winter was strong as hell. She didn't have muscles, she didn't go to the gym and was a pretty small girl.. but when we'd wrestle and stuff, I'd actually have to put a good amount of energy in to win every time.

I wanted to test my strength against his. He strained and turned red, but was too weak to push or role me off and pin me. I pinned his shoulders down once for a 5 count and submitted him with a headlock the next round as my little brother did. My bf runs, tones with exercising and everything and I play tennis. But I was a cheerleader in highschool and am athletic myself. I'm 120 and 5'6" and bf has forty pounds on me.
This kind of makes our relationship awkward for us. I didn't doubt my 13 yo brother could beat him, because he is a wrestler, but I was surprised I was stronger. Now he just has to admit it.

Do you feel like he cannot protect you if you get into trouble? There are many men who do not flaunt how strong that they are but are forminable fighters. If you are stronger than he is now, no big whop because just remember if he wanted to he can easily start working out and become stronger than you with little effort.

And when he does, then what? You have vanquished your enemy - no need to gloat over his body.

I wouldn't be attracted to a guy that was not stronger than me. Call it gender roles or traditional or old-fashioned or whatever. Not romantically interested in a guy that is that weak.

My wife thinks she's stronger than me. I let her win. It's an ego builder for both of us.
