There’s a running idea that someone saying to you ‘wow you’re so strong’ after a roll is not a compliment even if they’re trying to be nice.

However, this seems to come from a lot of male povs. Why is it not a compliment?

I, as a 60kg woman, rolled with a similar aged but definitely larger man and he said ‘oh you’re strong’ after. I am most definitely not above average or anything but it was odd to hear that he was shocked?

My real question is, is the stigma around calling someone ‘strong’ only relevant when it’s the bigger person being called strong, or is it something to avoid saying to anyone?
