I have found this
but then I've tended to date climbers, mountain bikers and other outdoorsy types. Husband #1 was an ex-soldier, husband #2 a farmer.

I can't be doing with wimps - they need to be able to wrestle a bear and then beat me at arm-wrestling.
Hairless men can't do this. FACT.

I approve of this.
my mrs isn't small, 5'7 and quite well-built for a lady, and I carried her upstairs the other day because she foolishly said I couldn't after I had picked her up.

I wouldn't be able to call myself a man if I hadn't been able to do it.

frankly I think I was lucky I didn't injure myself
carrying a load is easy. carrying it upstairs and round corners is not.

Fireman's lift over the shoulder is the way to go
But being 'swept off your feet' is more romantic.

I should have gone with fireman's lift
as it was it was front to front, with legs wrapped round me. not easy to go upstairs!
