It is fine to ask a female to armwrestle, nothing wrong with that at all. If she says she does not do it so be it, but it is fine.

Would that turn a harmless bit of fun into something a bit creepy? I'd appreciate thoughts and comments from fellow members of the board.
It definitely could make it weird, yeah. You're the one interacting with her, so you'd have a better idea of whether she'd be okay with it, but 'I'll pay you if you win' seems a lot more likely to come across badly than something like 'next pint's on me if you win' (if you were at a pub.)

Does he look like a creep? I mean, he does, but girls seem to be fine with that.

Depends on the relationship. Normally, probably.

Yes, it would be creepy. Offer to buy her a drink, or dinner, or coffee, or lunch, or something, if she can beat you, but for heaven's sakes don't make it about money.

As others have said, it's all about context. But for me, it's not so much about 'how' someone is asking but rather why.

If a 'vanilla' guy was to ask to arm-wrestle a woman, out of bravado, machismo or just for a laugh, then no, there's nothing especially creepy about that. But if someone with a fetish for arm-wrestling/strong women/biceps/being dominated/etc were to ask (without first being up front about their fetish), then that's an entirely different scenario. I mean, isn't that essentially asking a woman to unknowingly get you off?

For me, that goes beyond creepy and just into plain being wrong.

Because there's no fetish element to those things. Well OK, to a very very tiny niche there may be! But for the most part, there's probably little risk that anyone's getting turned on during a game of bridge.

He has a few things going for him in this situation that I don't think other people in this thread necessarily do especially not the second obviously.

1) He's charismatic. Not saying that nobody here is charismatic, I'm just saying it's very important to him doing this.

2) This isn't a fetish for him. Now this is monumentally important. It's a goofy video that he's doing and it's clear that it's just that and thus the girls are in on it because it just seems goofy and fun.

3) He's relatively attractive. This just never hurts.

I'll add to this, he's got a person behind a camera and he's clearly asked the ladies if they'll shoot a youtube video with him before he starts. He's not asking them to arm-wrestle, he's asking them to be in his youtube channel with 52,000 subscribers.

The camera makes it performance art, not just "hey wanna arm-wrestle" and we don't know how many ladies turn him down, but I'd guess not that many. Some must.

and ask away, I think it's great if guys can get ladies to armwrestle them but it also can be creepy. It takes a fair bit of finesse to ask properly and get a yes half the time.
