She sounds competitive.

If she for some reason has to use her strength - moving a box or playing a sport or so - say to her: Oh, you think you're strong?

She'll likely answer yes.

Then issue the challenge.

Try reading the stories from this forum to see how others have managed to get rides.

These all go for female friends and girlfriends:

1. Crack jokes about how she is weak - nothing too brutal of course, but just something tongue in cheek. Like if she's holding a back pack or trying to lift her books, or anything like that. If she's sensitive, she'll get offended. But if she's cool about it, she'll probably challenge you back that she's just as strong as you (assuming you and she are of similar height and proportions, or if she's bigger). Then you can say: "Oh you think you're stronger? Prove it! Lift me up."

2. Compliment her on her physique - particularly her muscles. Ask her how much she thinks she can lift. Then ask if she thinks she's strong enough to lift you up. Invariably she'll usually say yes. Then tell her to prove it because you want to see it.

3. Often it seems girls make jokes about beating up guys. You can easily turn those around and say: "Yeah right, I bet you're not even strong to pick me up." She'll take the bait.

4. Start by lifting her first. This might come out as creepy if you don't know her well, but if she's a friend, it shouldn't be a big deal. Can be done as easy as just looking her up and down until she says "What?" And you respond with: "I was just thinking if I'm strong enough to lift you onto my shoulders or not. Do you mind if I try?" She'll probably be cool with it in which case after you do it you say with a smile: "Haha, that was fun! Alright, my turn!" She won't necessarily take the bait, but she might.

5. You can make up a fake story like you saw a girl lifting a guy earlier and it blew your mind - "you didn't think girls had any muscle or strength at all." The girl might say: "Oh really?" At which point you say: "Yeah, must have been a fluke. Why, you think you're just as strong?" Again, easy to get her to take the bait.

6. You can ask her when the last time she had a piggyback ride was. Chances are she'll say it's been ages. So you respond with: "I kinda miss them - it's been awhile since I had one or gave one, but I always thought they were fun. You want one?" And then after she does say: "Okay, my turn!"

7. If somehow you get into a playful test of strength, start with an armwrestling match - then move onto lifting each other.

...

I dunno - there's tons of ways and lots of variations of the above.

The main issue (besides the obvious creepiness factor) is always going to be that many many girls do not know their own strength and won't want to try because they're afraid of hurting themselves.

I like these. Almost every girl I have dated has at one point or another wanted to show off how strong she was. I have received piggie back rides from many of them.

mark.johnson21 May 7th, 2010 19:06

Agreed - if a girl does not know her own strength and is too afraid to try, then she's not going to lift you no matter what you do, in which case it makes no difference how you try. Not every girl wants to lift a guy even for fun once in awhile.

As for creepy - I don't think most of the suggestions come out as creepy - more just playful and fun. I think if your eyes bug out and a bulge forms in your shorts then yeah, it'll be creepy.

I think a more legitimate fear is hoping you don't get hard when she lifts you up. Especially if it's a piggyback ride because she'll know instantly.

If handled properly, the suggestions you made would probably not come off creepy. I just mean that generally speaking a guy asking a girl to lift him up might come off creepy.

And even worse than piggyback would probably be the OTS where the crotch is buried right into the lifter's shoulder!

mark.johnson21 May 8th, 2010 04:08

Haha! Well, I would say a crotch lift would be worse, except she'd probably expect that given the contact.

Fireman's carries you basically have your crotch digging into her shoulder, and frontal straddles it's right in her bosom!

I think the absolute worst would be like a powerbomb thing where your crotch is basically right in her face. It would probably be more funny than anything, though.

Your size also determines whether or not a girl will be willing to lift you. I'm a pretty small guy, so when I jokingly ask another girl for a piggy back ride, they usually oblige. As long as you play it off as a joke, the creepiness factor goes away and the girl will usually feel more comfortable. Also, don't expect a girl to give you anything else except a piggy back ride or a cradle. Cradles can be pulled off quite easily actually: all you have to do is start taking a few pictures with them, and then jokingly ask if you can take a picture with you in her arms. The more comfortable YOU make them feel about the situation, the more likely they are to lift you. That comfort can be obtained by playing everything off with good humor. It takes a little practice, but it's not too hard. :)
