Your pictures of 'him', are actually portraits of Her.
The girls in the arachnid word are the bruisers. Poor little chap - out for a hot date - can easily end up as lunch, if she don't fancy ya.

Its a mature male , if you look closely at the front pair of appendages it appears to be wearing boxing gloves. It uses these to deposit sperms in the female . After their final moult the males appearance changes , they become leggy ,the abdomen appears small and they grow what appears to be boxing gloves .
You're correct in saying the females in the spider world are the bruisers though.

I have to admit that I did have a look on Google which is why I initially thought it was a "he"! However I am used to being wrong and am always happy to be corrected when I am!

They can give a bit of a bite.

Yeah mate in work had a nasty ring not to dissimilar to tick bite, but of a scabby bite in the middle. He thought Ibwas making it up until I told him to check out google images.
Wont kill you but bite can be nasty yo the skin! Sometimes deep to.
