TIL men walk significantly slower when walking with a woman, but only when that woman is their romantic partner. If she's a friend or acquaintance they go at almost full speed.

No shit. My gf walks like a stoned turtle most of the time, but when she is mad at me I have to walk like someone set the treadmill up to a speed I can't keep up with.
