Which sex is stronger?

[KickChick]

... so you are comparing yourself to a woman? :pony:

 

Granted, I don't want to be stronger than my man .... I like the idea of "him" having the upperhand (so-to-speak) when it comes to strength. I am sure most women would be "turned-off" if they were stronger than their man. Could you imagine having your girlfriend fighting your battles? LOL

 

But I must say, "I" for one, am stronger than most women ....meow!! (and for me that is enough)!

 

What all you boys are failing to realize is the reason I started this thread. It wasn't a man strength vs. woman strength .... it was the basis of achieving strength within the relation of the said sex ... ("In fact, the average woman gains strength at a slightly faster rate than the average man does.) Her strength with relation to his strength is not in question here.... it is the strength that defines her ability. Get it???? er uh ....

Comparing genders and making absolute statements is as stupid as arguing the truth of any stereotype. It mostly comes down to the individual, although from what ive seen, the very best men seem to be somewhat athletically superior to the women of the same class. There may be women who are better but i havent really seen it (cept for those old school east german women from the olympics - but they had so many drugs to make em like men, i dont really consider them "women"

Eye of the Tiger, you can't say women are not stronger then men. I know a lot of girls that are stronger then boys, and a lot of boys that are stronger then girls(though I agree the average boy is stronger then the average girl)

 

As for your little kickboxing full contact thing, well, not every men would be able to do that either. And women would have a less likelier chance of doing that because to them getting black eyes make em look bad, plus they'll think it's a waste of time when they can go join a safer place where they won't get ugly black eyes... Umm.. Men just act tougher but their all a wuss. J/k. I just think it's stupid how ppl generalize too much by saying men are stronger the women, because like I said, the average men may be stronger then the average women, but not always so... plus when it comes to martial arts strength doesn't matter as much if you are experienced.

 

Just my 10 cents...

OK, time to be a little less confrontational.

 

Yes I know some women are very strong theres a girl in my year that can beat me in arm wrestling. My point was that the average boy is stronger than the average girl. I get carried away sometimes soz, try not to let that happen again. But like KickChick said what women would want to be stronger than a man. I agree with the women being able to increase strengh quicker, but all those olympic women well there not exactually normal. I would feel very uncomfortable if my girlfriend was stronger than me. Thank god shes not. lol

lol yeah... I don't like depending on someone else, but still im happy my boyf is stronger then me, now he can go do all the dirty work!

Mentally, women are suited better to things like taking care of children and crap like that. Men are more suited toward heavy work(yea guys, we are the pack mules of our species). Mentality has alot to do with genes, society, stuff like that. How ppl are raised. I.E., guys hide there feeling and women let 'em flow. We're all products of our societys and genetics.

 

Physically is an entirely different story.

 

There are women out there who could wip anyone of the guys on here. But in turn there tends to be alot more men who are stronger becaues we're build that way. We have a physical advantage(wether some guys use it or not) to gain muscle mass quicker and to be stronger than women. Women can be just as strong but they have to work toward it more than men, so most are much more comitted to being strong that men and can surpass men relatively easy with work.

 

KickChick is probaly stronger mentally in the area of martial arts becaues she has to want it bad enough to keep working toward it. So when a guy may get tired of it all and say to hell with it, she'll still be training and getting stronger.

 

Age old questions are always brought back up.

 

(iknow the ideas are broken up a bit but maybe you can add 2 and 2. You get the general idea.)

[ckdstudent]

All men are mildly autistic, making it harder for us to associate emotion with action. Autism is a physical phenomena, not psychological, upbringing has some effect but in essence men are simply less capable of showing their emotions.

 

Strength-wise take it back to stone-age times and evolution through history. In general (please don't take offense at this, its true) women were the gatherers, cultivating the fields and harvesting. Men were hunters, going out, slaughtering animals (and each other). These two occupations suit different physical archetypes, a hunter should be aggressive, vicious, unemotional (try feeling bad whenever you shoot a deer) and able to generate power quickly. A gatherer needs patience, a good sense of time (seasons for example), and calm. Both need stamina and all-round fitness.

 

Oh, and incidentally a recent study discovered that being 'muscle-bound' (Shwarzenegger style) is considered unnattractive and even repellent by the vast majority of people. Much preferred is toned muscles rather than sheer bulk.

i got 15 out of 35 but I know that in GENERAL men are stronger than women thats why women get raped and stop violance against women groups start.. because they cant really defend themselves, now i am not at all saying that some women cant kick ass.. hell I've gotton my ass kicked by a few girls! they kick hard! But maybe cuz it was that i am afraid to hit girls back? who knows??

Ah, but the great thing about being a human being is that you don't HAVE to be as big or strong as your attacker. Use technique and technology to your advantage. A .45 is not slower when fired by a woman.

 

Kickchick, honestly, I don't know what you expected from a thread entitled "Which sex is stronger?" How you can reconcile that with saying "this thread is not about whether women or men are the stronger" is beyond me. Good luck with the thread, though.
