Yes! I’m enormous and he’s a skinny fellow. We’re like Jack Spratt and his wife.

I think you might be our 'couple twins' 😆

ThursdayLastWeek · 21/03/2025 18:37

Yeah deffo. We’re similar size and build and I’m pretty strong

taylorsdoingapart · 21/03/2025 18:37

No way. He has the long legs of a supermodel so would still be stood on the ground

Blondebrownorred · 21/03/2025 18:38

Yes! I'm a powerlifter

RandomUsernameHere · 21/03/2025 18:40

I wouldn't even try, he weighs well over double what I do.

SpringIsCome · 21/03/2025 18:51

Yes, I'm 5'2" and 9 1/2 stone, he's 5'11" and 15 stone - I am sturdy 😁

BaronessBomburst · 21/03/2025 19:40

Not a hope! He's athletic = muscle = heavy!
I still pick up teen DS though. He's taller than me but skinny.

ImWearingPantaloons · 21/03/2025 19:45

He’d squash me flat

TheLurpackYears · 21/03/2025 19:50

Yeah, can't think of one ex that I wouldn't have been able to. Definitely could with exh. I've always been extremely hench and a bit baffled by women who can't lift things.
(5'8", 10st at my lightest)

ImmortalSnowman · 21/03/2025 19:54

Yes, but he'd really have to keep those knees up. Tall and skinny.

TheDevilWearPrimarni · 21/03/2025 20:30

No he weighs 7st more than me.

Hobbitfeet32 · 21/03/2025 21:03

Yes I can fairly easily. I'm 5'3 and 55kg. He's 5'7 and 66kg.

Smartiepants79 · 21/03/2025 21:06

He’s a foot taller and 5 stone heavier. So, no!

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 21/03/2025 21:26

No! He's 6' 3"!!

Whiskeyandkittens · 21/03/2025 21:50

Hmm I don't think so, he's quite a bit taller and heavier than me - I could definitely leg press him though!

RazorstormUnicorn · 21/03/2025 22:06

Yes. I am 70kg and he is 100kg. The main problem is that he is 9 inches taller than me so his legs still touch the floor. I do a bit of weightlifting, so can carry him a little way.

Me and my bestie won the piggy back race at the local gym one year. Apparently it's the only thing I am good at! 😂💪

ODFOx · 21/03/2025 22:31

I would say no under any but the most extreme circumstances (it wouldn’t be easy or fun), but in emergency probably yes, at least for a little way.

rickandmorts · 21/03/2025 23:14

Yeah and he’s not small. But I wrestle horses for a hobby so I’m pretty strong 😂

Floogal · 08/04/2025 13:53

Yes. We're both in our 40s and have been together for over 20 years. We used to give eachother piggyback rides all the time. I was even able to give him a front piggyback and bridal carry when we were younger/lighter/stronger. I can just about do it now but he has to be sitting on the side and have his legs wrapped around my hips for a bit before I can lift him up though. Then I can carry him to bed before tipping him on the mattress 😅🤭

No - he’s a for taller than me to start with, and heavier than me too.

MonaChopsis · 08/04/2025 18:04

Easily... We are very similar in height and weight.

Ener · 08/04/2025 18:41

No!
