    In college, I loved being stronger than men. It was a fun party trick to put someone on your back and squat them with a beer in your hand. I also got laid a lot.

    I love your posts! You always make me giggle!

    Or wear crazy high heels and ask him to carry you at the end of the night. If he can't then just hobble off to a cab and go your separate way.

    Are there no men at your gym? They lift, don't they? :)

    If you associate with like minded people, with similar hobbies, you'll meet people who enjoy similar things to you. Perhaps join a different gym with a focus on powerlifting or bodybuilding...

    This was my thought. I'm happily married (19 years) to a guy who lifts, but if I wanted to find a date at my gym, I think I easily could (that sounds vain :# ).

    Men and women :wink:

    Seriously? If you really want to meet lots of men who will be stronger than you, get yourself into the strength sports.

    If you're stronger than a potential mate, then you need to move on to someone else.

    I have seen some very attractive girls incline pressing with 35-45lbs dumbells. Michelle Obama used 45lbs. Unfortunately, a lot of guys struggle with that weight on an incline press.

    Women who lift and don't take hormones have the best bodies and overall aesthetic in my eyes.

    Um. It doesn't matter. Husband and I are stronger than each other in different ways. I lift, he doesn't.

    And why would you bring stronger limit the dating pool unless you specifically introduced yourself as being strong? That's silly. "Hi, I'm xxxx and I'm most likely stronger than you". See? :laugh:

    I do have this nagging fear of like, being stronger than men.

    You already are, you always were and you always will be.
    That's nature, no matter how weak you are there will always be someone weaker, or stronger, when we come to that.

    The solution to your problem is quite easy:
    - Premise 1: You love strength training
    - Premise 2: You want a mate that has more physical power than you
    - Solution: Aim higher, look for heavyweight-boxers

    do no worry about being stronger than men. keep lifting and get as strong or as big as you like. You probably are stronger than some men already and so what. only weak minded people will mind or not like it and you do not want an insecure man anyway.
