i have heard this saying. but most of the times, men appear stronger to me both physically and mentally. my husband is both ways stronger than me. infact even my mom and other ladies i have seen seem to be like that. when i got by baby an was suffering from pain during delivery ...i was wondering y onyl woman have to suffer like this and a man doe snot have to suffetr such pains...i asked this later to my dad and he said " women have more capacity to tolerate problems better than a man. a woman is stronger mentally than a man."

i think mens are physically stonger than womans but a men cannot do a work of a woman.
so womans have stronger mental power than
mens.
mens have mental power but womans have more than them.
it is hard to replace a woman in a home with a men.

It's true. Some women are submissive and don't have their opinions so that's probably why you think they are not mentally stronger.

It depends really. On a majority, men are physically stronger and women mentally stronger. But you can have the smallest weakest women in the world, have her child trapped under something heavy that you think only a man could lift and should could lift it off her child. And you have those moments when a women is so upset and isn't thinking clearly. Who do you think helps her through it? Normally a man. And at that moment he is more mentally stronger that a woman. So, I would have to say it actually equals itself out in the long run.

Yes, men, in general, are physically stronger than women, and there's no need to further back this up. I mean, if you and your husband are the average type... you can actually do a simple experiment to prove who beteen the two of you is stronger.
Speaking about MENTAL, there is no scientific evidence that can point out that women, in general, are stronger than men, nor there is a scientific study that tells us that that is a gender related human asset. Yes, there's no question about women able to streth pain threshold when delivering a baby, but the same can we tell for those military men who were stationed in the Middle East, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc., and were tortured. I mean, it requires a lot of mental to physically survive when you're under torture, or even just being in a war. And we all know that most military personnel assigned to wars were men.
As to your question/confusion why women have to suffer or labor..., I believe the answer can be found in the book of Genesis. :)

wat is that "book of genesis"?. well so men r able to be in military cuz they r physically stronger. whereas women have multi-taasking abilities right?? they can lok after home, children, cooking, office, family as a whole, relations..etc..i dotn think a man can be good enough in all of these...whereas a woman does.

ya i think so because there is difference in physical powers of men and women. men are ruff and tuff, women are delicate. Mentally, i think in decision making women are stronger relating to relationships and on money matters men are more stronger mentally.

i agree withyou that men are physically strong and women are mentally strong , really men only look physically strong but mentally they are not , women have very good thinking capacity , they can use there brain very much . so women are mentally strong

I feel it is tough to generalise who is the stronger of the two sexes. Because there are many ladies nowadays who are black cats, black belt holders, para military personnel who with her technique and skill can take down quite afew men. While there are guys who play chess mental sport far better than women. How many womern players have beaten Kasporav, kramnik, karpov, Anand. Besides if yous ee toppers for IAS or many compettive exams quite few times you will see men toping them. Most of politcal, business leaders are men.
But still i feel it is upto an individual if he or she is determined to pursure their dreams and want to shine or achieve their goals nobody can stop them be it man or woman.

i think that men r more stronger physically and in some cases mentally too.
it depends on the conditions as u can't say that in every condition women or men can be more stronger, it varies from instances to instances.
in some instances women have shown more bravery for example rani laxmibai.
but at the same time women are more prone to tension and hypertension and all but men dont fall for it easily.
in case of birth only women can show that they can suffer pain more than man.
this has been cited many times. so there is no need to argue on this.
have happy times ahead.

it depends what do you mean on mentaly stronger because womans tend to cry more them mens a woman is emotional unstable a man cancontrol himself but a womans needs to express her felling she cant compress them like mans, thats a fact. So i think that you mant to say that womans have the power of convince, thats only the only mentaly advantage (even this is more physically). There are more concentrated on the work they do but that doesn't mean they have a mentally advantage.

well dont u think that crying and removing their burdens from their heart actually makes them stronger? i have personally experienced taht when i cry for something,...after i cry i feel a bit of relief and feel more courageous to face watever comes. wheeras men do not cry , they have the problems in their mind...dont let it out by any means and so actuallly become emotionally unstable..get too much of anger

It is a true fact that women are mentally stronger than man. my wife is a example of it. she is very strog with me mentally. a woman have to suffer pain during delivery and I think no man can suffer like this. but man are psysically strong but these day there are no different between man and women both are same. but a woman is stronger mentally than man.

Men weaker than a women ? Physically or mentally ? may be true but only in the sense that men can't cry like women who are too easily to cry !!! ha ha ha.....For all women don't just pretend to be stronger than man cause women is women only man can be man.....Women Like Crying so much so it's not true if we called them "mentally stronger" than men , by the way , what we can say is that women is more patient & more tolerant in any way !
What a woman can do better than a man ?

It is true and it is scitifically proved that female brain is working more than male. But there is one flaw in female. that is the are thinking too much and unnessesary. This is just because when a male listen something they analysis that whether it is important or not and with priorty basisc. In case of female they are only analysising it deeper and deeper whether it is important or not. In case of physical strongness, Men are stronger because they are more consious about there physical fitness and female are beauty consious.

I definitely agree with the saying that the men are physically stronger, but the women are mentally stronger. The woman has got to play the role of a wife, daughter-in-law, daughter, mother & while having to deal with work & office politics. Try getting a guy to do all that, he will probably collapse. There might be a handful of single fathers out there who have to raise the kids single-handedly, but that's a rare minority.

For myslef I believe that this is true, for example my brother he is stronger than me in everything except in facing the problems when he gat into a trouble he come and ask me what to do and I always get him a better solution than his solution also whenever I see one of my married friends always they say that woman thinks in a better way and has more ideas.

yes its true that men are stronger and they are.
but the power that women have ie their emotional strength.
this emotional strength can give them enough power to do any thing in this world but one thing is to remember emotional power acts in both ways it can suppress you also if it is dominating on u as for as men are concerned they have less emotional strength!!
