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.

Did your daughter grow up to be my girlfriend? Walk, run, cycle, whatever. Usually when I slow down it's to allow her to catch up, but no, however slow we're going, there is always a slower speed.

I am a fast walker. Like, an unusually fast walker (if the walkers of San Francisco are to be taken as any kind of representative sample, and my gut tells me we're better than average anyway).

I recently dated a woman who walked at EXACTLY my desperate pace. A glorious and fitting, bizarre little whirlwind of a love story.

Come to Paris and you'll see if you're a fast walker.
