    Yeah, always weirds me out. Like, if you ask for help normally, I’ll be the first to jump up. But if you ask specifically for strong men, you ask me to be a cunt to everyone else in the room, saying I’m stronger than them, which I don’t even know.

    And even if I were to think that I’m the strongest, there’s still no way to know that I’m actually able to lift whatever heavy object it is. If I cannot lift it, I’ll look like a massive poser, when I then come crawling back, asking for help from others.

    I mean, maybe this works better in different cultural contexts, but whenever I’ve seen it tried, it always resulted in those going along, who did not have to worry to about being confused for strong men. Which is just stupid, too. Let my older colleague throw their back out, even though I would’ve gladly helped as well.

      They’re trying to play to ego to trick you into helping. Though its a trick that most people see happening, and will play into to help.

      As not a strong man, you’re not being a cunt for grouping yourself into the strong man category. I don’t want to carry heavy boxes, either!

      I agree that it’s weird to ask this way, though.

          Yeah, while writing the comment above, I realized a quip like that could work. Maybe also “We just ran out of strong men, but I’ll see what I can do”. Didn’t have that sleight of mind in those situations so far…

    As a cis man with two herniated discs in his spine from years of people singling me out to lift their dumb heavy shit, this is a powerful angle on the dilemma I’d never considered. Take a Two Strongmen Shaking Hands meme and several head pats from me.
