I had a teacher who showed us this back in high school.

There's an All in the Family episode about this where Archie goes bananas over it.

Engage in lesbian action??

Make less

Yeah I can do this just fine. If I take 3 steps back I can't though.

This seems like a fun thing to do on first dates.

Was not even a tiny bit hard for me, my wife struggled more than me. (Though I picked a really heavy chair lol)

But I was in Marine Corps and can bench 1800 lbs on the back press machine at 24Fitness Super Sport gym we go to.

I imagine the only guys this will effect are those with weak lower backs.

Internet challenges are so 2015.
---

Yeah I can do this. Or i have when I was younger aint trying it again right now. Also had a teacher claim men could clasp their hands behind their back as in one hand up and over your shoulder and the other around your side and up your back. I could and still can do that.

lesbian action = ratings.

And my wife always tells me moving furniture is a man's job

This is like all those people telling me I can't lick my own elbow when I clearly can very easily

Center of gravity difference.

Men have larger feet, which is requiring them to stand back farther. As a result, the women can typically just bend forward and their head touches the wall (so their bodies form a 90 angle), whereas the men actually need to lean forward to reach the wall (causing their bodies to form an angle greater than 90).

The result is men cant lift themselves back up because their heads pressing against the wall is the only thing stopping them from tipping over, compared to women not needing the wall for balance.

What I want to know is why your arm gets shorter when you do that wall thing. It's kind of hard to explain what I'm talking about, but I'll do my best

You stretch your right arm out until you finger tips are just touching the wall. And then you bring your arm to your chest and put it back out and you can no longer touch the wall. It gets shorter

Iunno, I did it just fine

Because you're leaning away from it?

No, you don't move your body at all

Here, let me see if I can find a video

You don't have to rub your elbow, though.

You don't have to rub your elbow, though.

Your shoulder joint is a bit more moveable than people think.

Doing this can unconsciously retract the humeral head into the glenoid fossa.

You can stretch it back out right then and there and touch the wall again.

Still don't understand, lol. But thanks

Is it because boobs prevent you from rounding your back?

This is weird

This seems to be the main factor for nearly all of these I watched

Okay so it isnt about men or women it is about people with big or small feet.

Cause I have smaller feet and it was pretty easy.

I imagine if one has the strength and flexibility they can do it just fine.

---

There's probably also variance in center of gravity that lets some men do it and prevents some women.

I dont know. My feet aint huge but they aint small either. I wear a size 11 and half

Proportionately, you probably still have bigger feet than most women. It seems to just be a common trait when comparing men and women.

The average man is 59 (69) tall and the average shoe size is a mens 10.5 (which is 11 long).

The average woman is 54 (64) tall and the average shoe size is a womens 7.5 (which is 9.5 long).

Going off that, the average woman is 92.75% as tall as the average man, but the average womans foot is is 86.36% the size of the average mans foot.

So proportionately, women have smaller feet, which allows them to do this task without needing to lean forward to reach the wall.

Ok. What im saying is got a decent sized foot and i can do it. So i think foot size being thr variable is wrong.

---

It wouldnt be a blanket statement that applies to everyone across the board, since there are a bunch of variables that play into it. Maybe you have a longer upper torso than most, so you reach the wall with your head more easily. Maybe you have better than average core strength or balance that allows you to pull yourself up, regardless of the disadvantage.

Im just saying that overall, my guess is that foot length is probably a decent reason as to why most men cant do it and most women can, and I provided my reasoning for it. If you disagree with my reasoning, thats fine too.
---

I can't try it right now, but I wear a size 8 shoe, so I think I'd probably be able to do it if shoe size is the determining factor.

I have shitty balance so thats not it. Id assume I have crappy core strength but at basic training planks which everyone complained about was surprisingly easy for me so maybe i just naturally have decent core strength.

---

I have massive feet and was quite far from that wall.

It is not core strength that matters, just lower back strength.

Do not get me wrong my core is pretty much steel

I just mean I actually felt it in my lower back as I lifted upward

i feel it's an honor to have massive feet. have to wear size 12 shoes.

not so much if a lady, kinda consider it a dishonor.
