I dont mind. It is true most of the time. BUT, men tend to be babies in the pain department when it comes to having a cold!

You are not being disrespectful, as long as you mean that, on average, men are physically stronger than women. This is fact. The average muscle mass of a man is higher than the average muscle mass of a woman. This is a matter of genetics.
Now, this is not to say that men have more stamina, or finer muscle tone, or longevity in exercise, or are more healthy, or are quicker, more dextrous, or anything else. It only means that men have more muscle mass, overall, and this makes them a little stronger.
Individuals do vary, and you will find women who are stronger than most or all men they know.

You are not being disrespectful. A woman's anatomy and physiology generaly make them the "weaker sex". Some women will take exception to this. I have seen and work with women (firefighting) who are alot stronger than some men. I have administered pre-employment physical agility tests and very very few women pass this test. Alot of it has to do with preparation both with the men and women. So, ladies what say ye?

It's not disrespectful. But I'm not sure you are completely right. It depends by what you mean by "stronger".
Men are stronger in that they can carry heavier loads, but women have a higher tolerance for pain and more endurance, so in that sense they are stronger.
We're both strong in different ways, and it's probably silly to try to compare them. You know, the whole apples and oranges thing.

no you're not. I am a female and I myself know that physically most male are stronger. Heck, even most women are stronger than me. But as far as things goes, guys generally are built stronger than woman are.

I don't think you are disrespectful. I think it's true that man is stronger than woman. What's disrespectful is that man missuses his stronger body to beat a weaker woman.

I don't think your being disrepectful at all. Men are generally physically stronger, women look better naked. (Thats why even in womens magazines, most of the pics are women.)

No, not at all. Any women who would be offended by that is one of those feminist, man-hating, politically correct women. In which case, ANY thing a MAN says is prone to offend them.
