A Man's Perspective

I'd be pretty indifferent to be honest. I WOULDN'T, however, be a total dork at a convenience store.

[Easton Taylor]

:YT: me neither...........There are certain cases but in my mind far between.......I like tall skinny girls.....

[Alex Klotz]

Nah I'd feel kind of threatened.

[Jonathan Macfarlane]

I say yes. But with a catch. I think I've only met one girl who could truly beat me up, and I'm talking probably in a fair fight too.

Being able to kick my butt I find attractive in that the girl would actually have some form of fighting spirit and be able to set me straight quickly if I was being a jackass. Problem with those sorts is that they're normally quite independant. Not sure if that makes sense.

If you could probably kick the dudes butt properly, then I don't think he's worth your time in most situations.

:YT: I like tall skinny girls.....


I thought I did too, but then I realised the short and medium heights are good too. :B:

[Matt Makousky]

Unfortunatley woman are always right, and always win ever battle so I stand by. Does not matter who is stronger the woman will always win all she has to do is speak and the guy backs down!!! :M: (All of this is meant in nothing but good ways)

Strong is beautiful, that's how I see it.

[jon hergert]

Most men would like to be strong, powerful, and athletic so that if trouble came, they could take care of business. If a guy wasn't strong, powerful, and athletic, having a girlfriend that is could be the next best thing.

[Rob Okey]

Lacy likes to think she can kick my butt...

They need a "trying to keep a straight face" smilie

[Eric Todd]

That thought is not remotely attractive.

I don't mind girls being strong and muscular. I am not sure how I would react if the woman was bigger or stronger than me though...the issue has never really come up :rolleyes: I think most men agree with Arnold: "As long as they don't have bigger biceps than me"
I am sure that some guys would think that it is a turn-on though. Maybe some kind of dominance thing, who knows?

[Barry Perkins]

I will spare you all the details for now as to why I am asking this but here's a question for the men....is the idea of a girl being able to kick your butt even remotely attractive? I realize you guys are way stronger than the average guy but the point is still the same.

Let's just say the man who works at the local convenience store has a crush and is a total dork. When he made the comment that I could probably beat him up, I was thinking, "SCORE! Now he'll leave me alone." That didn't happen and he actually felt my biceps. :disgust:

if it was disgusting that he felt your bicep....then..
FIRST off...his arm and hand should've been broken off then used to beat his arse senseless for touching a woman that didn't care to be touched..learn to be a gentleman...

secondly...define "kick your butt"? ...is a strong woman attractive...yeh..sure...to some...is a woman with muscle tone attractive..yes..to some... it all has to do with that whole.."eye of the beholder.." thing...

but again...if a man ever touched one of my daughters with out them wanting to....
I'd be getting a call from the local law enforcement about assault and battery and something about a severed arm in some poor fellas rectum... :LOL:

[Barney Shannon]

My late wife was all of 5'2" in heels and never touched a weight in her life but I believe that she could have kicked my butt if she truely wanted to. And YES it was kind of exciting. :o

[Scott Markowitz]

My wife could kick my butt, but that's 'cuz I wouldn't hit back. I guess I could outrun her...

A wonder if this guy is the straight version of the guy who was on here some time ago looking for someone to rough him up.

[Barry Perkins]

this is an excerpt from one of my blogs on myspace....i feel it's appropriate for this topic...

What we know about Women – Women are a gift from God, to be cherished, loved, cared for and admired. Women are our mothers, sisters, daughters, spouses….for life. They may not be the Captain, but they run the ship. A man is lost without the love, support and care of a woman. We've all heard it "yeh, ever since they've been together, she's straightened him out good". When we were kids, and got hurt…we didn't cry out "Daddy!"..it is always…"MOMMY!"…and one kiss from her magical lips and the pain goes away.

It has been said..that football is the only sport in which a 5 foot 9 inch 195lb kicker can make a 6 foot 6 inch 325lb, defensive tackle cry like a baby….well…a woman has the same power. A 5 foot ..one inch…beauty can make a 6 foot 3 inch, 300lbs steaming, freight train of a man, stop cold in his tracks at the simplest command …..that same woman, can make that same man ….also…cry like a baby…AND cry for his mommy….lol

To look at some of the women in my life, the strength, the resolve, the bravery is to admire them as one would a super hero. I often use the term "Wonder Woman" for there is no other way to describe them. It is for this reason, that when I hear of some low life male abusing a woman, be it wife, girlfriend, mother…daughter…I go insane with rage and think of sadistic ways to punish these people for desecrating the sanctity of this God's gift….."Woman". There is no man that can call himself complete, without having that special woman in his life. Just go get a copy of "The Notebook" ...that'll explain it.

What we know about crying – Yes, a real man does cry. He cries when he looks at his babies sleeping, he cries while watching movies, he cries when he sees sick children. He cries when his children cry. He cries when his heart has been broken…….he cries….or it could just be that damn pollen!

True story:
In the late 1980s or early 1990s, Laurie was Christmas shopping during her lunch break in Newark NJ when a guy stole her wallet out of her coat pocket. She turned around to confront him. He denied it and started laughing at her. Big mistake. She smashed him right in the mouth and sent him flying backwards over some piles of clothes. He got up, threw Laurie's wallet back at her and ran out of the store.

Another true story:
I was being a real pr*ck in like 1981 or 82. In one quick movement, Laurie grabbed me by the collar and used her left leg to sweep my legs out from under me. Next thing I know, I'm on my back and Laurie's kneeling on my chest with one knee jabbed into my throught.

I think that I could have taken Laurie but I can't think of anyone that I'd want more to watch my back in a bar fight. :cool:

Damn near killed 'em!!! Sorry, I had to point this out!!! LOL!!!!! :FF:

hahaha.

you must spread some reputation points before giving it to scott again.

[Ian Duggan]

I think he totally is. There are a good few odd websites and videos on YouTube about guys who are obviously very keen to be... uhhh... dominated I guess is as good a word as any.

I keep stumbling across them looking for weightlifting sites.

Honest guv.

[Mike Martello]

Honestly, if i care about the woman not much else really matters. Would I seek out a woman stronger then me or a better fighter then me? I donno - I never thikn about those kinds of things when it ocmes to tihs sort of thing.

I don't thikn it would bother me at all though. Might be fun lol

I love it! I would pay to see my wife do something like this.
I don't care if my wife can take me in a fight or not. I think it would be hot to date a girl who can handle herself...but she has to be attractive and feminine.

We were married for 25 years. Sadly, I lost her two years ago to cancer. :(

well..my condolances...
she sounded like quite the woman....and she put up with you for 25 years...she had to be great....

[Mike Martello]

Bro, I know where you're coming from here.

My Ex Wife -
We were eating in a place called Roll-N-Roaster and some guy starts chatting her up while I'm coming to the table with our food. She told the guy she was with her husband and to "F off". He didn't see me coming and gaver her the whole "come on honey" bit. Without another word she got up and beat him across the head with the metal napkin holder, 4 or 5 swings easy. I had to ocme to the guys rescue lol.


A few years later her and I had a blow out and she wanted to go for a walk. 3am on a weekend night in the part of Brooklyn we lived in at the time was asking for trouble. So - I wouldn;t let her go. She tired to walk passed me in the kitchen and I kept getting in her way.

I took a toaster in the head a few times before it finally broke apart. lol
Thought I took a beating thta night she couldn;t get me away from the front door - bloody and all! haha

I completely agree with Amy. For guys, it's seems somewhat natural and macho for you to be in a sport like ours. For women (especially one near 6 feet tall, 200+ lbs), it's a different story. While I am very proud of what I have accomplished in strongman, it's also sad for me to admit that sometimes I am embarassed of it. I started a new job a month ago, and I'll be the first to say that people definitely started looking at me differently when they found out my past in strongwoman. Most thought it was cool, but then there's always that look you get from a few, like "holy shit, not messing with her..." and that's not always the best feeling. It's funny, the way some people react, you would think I carry a beating stick and take random people out left and right. Pretty true for those of you that know me, right? :EL:

[Lance Remus]

Pretty true for those of you that know me, right? :EL:

Yeah! You've bullied me a bunch of times! Ok, so maybe not. Truth be told you wouldn't hurt a fly! If some tool decides to think something about you without taking the time to get to know you then it's his LOSS! Push those people out of the way for others who are worth being friends (or more as it were) with. ;)

[Evan Hansmann]

my answer is yes, yes it is
