The title of this thread isn't referring to toilet paper. My bf and I bought a TV today, unfortunately not an LCD or plasma, but a flat panel CRT. That of course means it was really heavy.
Not only did I have to wheel it out to the car, but I had to lift it, put it inside my (little Volvo S40) car, get it out of the car, carry it down the street, into the house and onto the TV stand.
Mind you, this isn't my TV, it's my bf's. I'd say that I have moderate strength, but I sometimes get miffed that my bigger counterpart doesn't put his strength to good use. He constantly tells me that he's so much stronger than me, and would kick my ass in a wrestling match. (He also thinks he can run faster, but that's very doubtful). Sometimes he literally says "I'm fat, I shouldn't have to do that" or "You do it, you're not as fat as me, it should be easier for you." (I find this rather amusing)
But I know for a fact that he is rather strong, most likely stronger than me. I think in a lot of cases, a big guy has to be very strong. (Somehow, all that weight has to move). It's just unfortunate that my big guy doesn't always use his strength positively.
My question is to the bigger guys out there: Do you think you're stronger than most smaller guys? Do you ever get a power trip knowing that since you're bigger you're probably stronger than most? I think that's one thing I personally enjoy about being a bigger guy: I can be intimidating if I want to.. Any thoughts?
