Are all men stronger than all women?

nigel_wilson · 16-06-2018 02:37PM #1

Even the short and scrawny adult males? I knew a guy in a programming class who was about 2 inches shorter than me (5ft 3in) but told me he was significantly underweight (about 54kgs). Said he does crystal meth and cocaine which probably curbs his appetite and makes him that small, as well as working in a kitchen which probably exacerbates that as well.

I'm wondering if a trained female athlete that was about 5ft 8in and 70kg woman could destroy him? Or is the muscle mass still much greater than a man regardless of how petite and underweight a man?

Kick him in the groin?

A child's got more bones than a grown-up's got!

The average man is physically stronger than 90% of women.

But then you talk about fighting. Relative skill will play a huge factor in this.

If you can, take a read of this comparative study from the NCBI:

The record for female bench press is 272kg. If you can't bench that, then, well, there's your answer.

Is this trained female athlete a trained MMA fighter or a trained volleyball player? If the former she'd mince him if the latter id say it be a good little scrap.

Personally I think an even more pressing question is who would win in a fight between a giraffe and a squirrel.

Get Dana White on the phone.

If he can get Conor McGregor a 100 million dollar pay out despite never having boxed before tthen surely he can arrange this.

Hmm I wonder was that a natural lift.

I challenge the average lad to last even thirty seconds against Karolina Kowalkiewicz.

Would you really put your money on a 5'3 115 pound woman against a 6'0 200 pound physically fit male?

I remember a bunch of us in school had an arm wrestling competition in a free class on the last day before summer holidays. One of the girls decided to have a go. Big farmer's daughter, well used to pulling calves out of cows. She absolutely demolished me and then 2 other lads before the rest of them opted out! She was freakish strong.

Cyborg, maybe, sure Karolina is only 8 stone.

Is this question really asking every man of a certain height and weight is always stronger than a woman of the same?

It's not just the weight, men have far greater bone density, are able to exert more force from their muscles while also having the advantage of far greater amounts of testosterone coursing through their bodies (well maybe that's negated in the case of Cyborg)

Eophippus was a duck sized horse.

Bullockornis was a horse sized duck.

Would we be allowed to use one of those lad-numbing johnnies?

Am assuming she's hot or something.

Not that I'd be using a feckin johnny anyway

Or who would win between a squirrel sized giraffe and a giraffe sized squirrel?.

They'd both mince him.

The only difference is the fighter would know when to stop.

That isn't underweight BTW, it's pretty-much bang on.

Lad I used to hang about with was convinced Rhonda Rousey would beat Floyd Mayweather in an MMA fight. Absolutely convinced because he didn't know MMA she would beat him. I told him she'd be destroyed in 30 secs if she managed to stay away from him that long.

Last in court you mean? Because he would be up for murder. She is a tiny woman.

Are all men stronger than all women?
