Are all men stronger than all women?

nigel_wilson

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?

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.

BurnUp78

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.

Hector Bellend

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.

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)

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.

I've seen my 75 year old grandmother beat my 20 year old brother (who was a carpenter at the time, so did have a certain amount of upper body strength) at arm wrestling. He was dead embarrassed, and moaning about how sore his arm was for days after.

So from that, my guess would be, no.

I still manage to lose to her in wrestling every now and then. She's got legs like shot putter

I read somewhere that if you take your average joe soap man and get him to throw a baseball as hard as he can and then take a thousand average women, two of the women will have been able to throw the baseball as far as the man.

Scientists say the average wee 5'5" dude from the Neanderthal timezone, could elimate 95% of todays 6'2" skinny jeans wearers.
Today's metropolitan soy boy, would barely get time to place their skiny late and macbook down, before stoneage chap would bodyslam 'em.

So a more evens wrestling match would be Neanderthal lady, vs an average Joe (but blue collar manual worker, not an office boy).

I beat a young fellow in an arm wrestle,I'm 49 he's 22 ,plays a lot of sport,has a physical job and was practically climbing on the table trying to get my arm down but I wasn't budging. That was a fun party.

Valerie Adams is 6'4" and about 20st, and she can throw the women's shot over 21m.

I'm pretty sure 90% of all men couldn't throw the women's shot over 15m.

So the answer to the question posed is trivial...

Are you really trying though or doing “play” wrestling. If not you are should be ashamed.

Not sure if OP is drunk or trolling or on some sort of drugs or.....

I went from playing rugby at a decent amateur level to coaching women at a similarly high decent level. The power difference is massive between men and women. The weakest guy, not that there were many weak, we would have been all above average, would have dangerous levels of power in contact against the strongest woman. That's my experience anyway. But that's the way it is not bigging up anyone or belittling anyone. The under 13/14s boys might be similar in power to grown women but they'd be faster, but take it to 16s and it's big advantage to the boys again.

Heres Johnny

Im actually astonished at some of the stories here of lads losing arm wrestles and being out wrestled by women. Unless they are trained athletes or something. Wanna get checked out lads. Although I am 100kg + so maybe a 65/70kg man could be beaten by a strong woman I don't know. Most of my rugby team I mentioned would be 85kg and up I'd say

Not quite sure what the point of the thread is...But the ferrymen here on the island can carry a sack of coal in each hand or a large gas bottle,whereas I can lift neither... Their strength helps my weakness... Is that not what life is about?

I usually win, to be fair I let her win when she does. She's surprisingly strong for someone so tiny though.

As for the skellington comments. I'm actually a healthy weight thanks. The amount of lads my age with beer guts just makes me look thin in comparison.

I wonder does arm wrestling use a very specific set of muscles that aren't used much?
I once beat a fella at arm wrestling who was 6 foot 6 and about twice my weight.

Subcomandante Marcos

An average amatuer male MMA fighter at 135lbs would destroy the best female professional 145lbs mma fighters.

Just like the US women's soccer team lose to highschool kids, or the williams sisters got beat by a fat, drunk semi pro (back to back).

Anyone who argues otherwise is an idiot.

Don't pay the ferryman, don't even name a price, till he gets you to the other side
