I am currently seeing a woman and do love her. My problem is she is a martial arts expert and physically I am no match for her. I practied with here once and she stopped because she didn’t want to hurt me. I had no previous experience in martial arts. I want to continue in this relationship but it bothers me. She once joked to her friend that she was my protector. It really hurt. How do I cope with this?

Have some back bone. A bat cancels out karate. But this is not the issue. If you don’t respect yourself, how will she be able to respect you. It has nothing to do with who can kick who’s @ss.
Why not become more proficient in martial arts on your own? If she’s a stand up style (karate, tae kwon do…), learn a ground style (jiu-jitsu, judo…) or something like that. or just let her be the man if thats what she wants.
IT should not be a competition between you both, and you should stop feeling insecure about it. Karate is not street fighting either.
Well Hon, that may have been a tad insensitive of her. But you yourself admitted that she was joking.
There’s nothing to deal with here, Hon. You love her. Maybe she could kick your butt if she wanted to….but she doesn’t. There’s nothing wrong with having a GF who is more capable of destruction that you are
Be happy that you have a GF who is so accomplished at something. And if she mentions that “protector” thing again, tell her in private that it bothers you. And I’m sure it won’t happen again!
Challenge her to a wrestling match. To gaurantee a win, use any electric hand-held device and strip away the plastic so the wires are exposed. Use it as a home made taser, lightly enough that she is weakened.
Just tell her not to say those things when you’re around….and you shouldn’t be angry just because she’s a woman and she’s physically stronger than you.
Just because she’s a martial-artist does not mean that she is “tougher” than you (People are usually a lot tougher than they think). And yes, a well-aimed punch or kick can hurt anybody, so your girlfriend was just being realistic.
Now, I have had martial arts training, I’ve been in a lot of fights, and I know that beating somebody up is one of the easiest things there is (That’s why almost every moron can manage it). The idea that this makes you “manly” is moronic. A long time ago, I had a girlfriend who probably could beat the crap out of me if she really felt the need to do so (It’s determination that counts, not brawn) and it didn’t really matter to me.
Of course, if your girlfriend intentionally uses this to belittle you, then it’s a different story.
