I don't think it's really fair to judge how someone play fights with their significant other. I used to date a huge biker, and I know he went easy on me when we wrestled. Of course, I have a few particularly vicious moves in my self-defense bucket that I could have used and would never have dreamed of whipping out, any more than he'd have thought of punching me in the face. I've never been that invested in winning though, unless it involves pub trivia.
I will say though that the power of surprise cannot be underestimated, nor can solid self-defense skills. My cousin is an average sized woman who has a certain amount of athletic skill (not a lot, but above average). She also used to work with autistic children, including some who were two to three times her weight and who could become very violent when they would have an outburst. Part of her training was a selection of "holds" and other self-defense techniques. One night, while we were all out and driving around being rowdy, she started rough-housing with a former marine who was a friend of her boyfriend's. Things went a little further than they should have, but just as her boyfriend was about to intervene, my cousin snapped out some of the moves she had learned. Laid that dude out on the hood of a car before he knew what hit him. He was astounded, as was everyone in our group. It was like something out of a martial arts movie.
He was bigger and stronger than her, but the last thing he was expecting was a Bruce Lee-style move from a bottle blonde with a perfect manicure.
Well, you do enough to stop by to ask "who cares?"
I'm just curious as to why you're making a big deal out of it, that's all. You do realize that this isn't the neolithic anymore, right? You're boyfriend does not need to ward off sabretooth tigers.

So I take it, Mr. Prince Frog, that you are incredibly strong and big, and I would fail in wrestling against you.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but I'm saying that you'd have to grab a steel chair and bend it over my back to get me to the ground to pin me, and I might still press you off me.
And I can also easily start working out and still be stronger than he is. Its not working out that automatically makes a man or a woman strong, its how they workout. Sure if he worked out for strength, for power lifting he would get stronger. Anyone could, man or lady. He has been lifting weights for years. But does that make him strong? No, because he lifts light for high repetitions, which is just good enough for bone mass and toning, but will not make someone that much stronger. How about those little gymnast?
I wonder how he feels about this? I mean do you throw it up in his face? Because if you do, your relationship might not last to much longer
If I was dating a woman who was stronger than I, she would have to be taking steroids and lots of supplements for her to get that strong.
I wouldn't mind meeting a woman who was stronger than me, but it's never happened. From being involved in the martial and grappling arts for years, I've met plenty who were more skilled than me, but never one who was my equal in size AND strength.

I don't intend on doing such a thing.
