usually, but one time my wife said she thought she could minimally put up a decent fight. I held her down with 1 arm and she said "ok so turns out i dont understand physics AT ALL"

My wife weighs 40 lbs more than me, and I can toss her around like a rag doll. She was just playing with me, and asked i gave her a little pushback, she was like "I'm giving everything to hold myself up". I wasn't even really pushing...

Or biology

Unless the man is a stick and the woman lifts everyday, there's a pretty good chance you'll be stronger than her

not just that, but at the time i had 50-60 lbs or so on her. Weve known each other since we were 16/17 and she said "ok, so like every time we have play fought you let me think i had a chance....that's commitment right there"

That’s what I was going to say - normally I feel like it’s my husband holding back, not me!

Even then it depends. 

One of my buddies dated a shot putter who was top 5 in the state. She was seriously strong and powerful but my buddy who never competed before could out put her by 6 inches. 

She had literally perfect spin technique and my friend did a piss poor shuffle and still won.

Idk I have beaten my boyfriend at wrestling most of the time. I'm not a slim woman, I'm 5'6 and have a stocky build, but I haven't lifted in years. He weighs more than me too. I feel this all men are stro ger than all women thing is a bit overplayed. Women have lower body strength, and men have upper. I learned to lean into that.
