I'm guessing the 105lb woman had her brain engaged into the flight control loop - anticipating what forces will arise and when, using proactive trim, making thrust changes at times so as to have the pitching moment be helpful rather than working against her, etc. Nothing preventing the 250lb guy from doing the same, but he doesn't have to, as he can get by gorilla-ing it without worrying about a thing - "they don't pay me any extra to handfly it"
