It's gay to walk quickly. It's gay to take your own bags to the shops. It's gay to have empathy.

Holy shit there are a lot of people out there who are very insecure with themselves.

    things people have took me I'm gay for:

    reading
    cooking
    cleaning
    being decently dressed (not even well-dressed)
    having skin care products
    using conditioner on my hair
    driving a sedan/compact car
    playing nintendo or jrpg games
    enjoying classic music/opera/theater/ art & foreign films owning a cat
    drinking cocktails/lattes/milkshakes
    riding/racing bicycles
    not playing team ballsports

    the definition of straight man is very very narrow for some folks, basically drive a giant truck, be unable to take care of yourself, and be into sports and action pop cuture, rock and roll/rap, and only ever do 'basic' things.

    if you do anything outside of the box, you're gay. because 'normal straight men' don't do those things, and if they do, they only do it to impress women or something. like I can go to the opera with my girlfriend and hate it, but if i go myself and enjoy it I'm gay.

    I first heard it maybe 10 years ago, and it's become a lot more prevalent, once you start to notice it (obviously not all gay guys but a lot do) then you kind of take up the joke too. I've always been told I walk too fast, now I know why.

    Pythagoras claim that walking in a straight line is the fastest way has been debunked. Walking in a gay line is faster.

    fellas, is it gay to walk quickly?

    I hope not. I usually walk quickly, with purpose. I hate these types that can best be described as "waddling". Just like a sloth cosplaying as a duck. And somehow they manage to just stand in doorways, and block isles. Meanwhile I'm in my head thinking "HEY FUCKFACE!!! MOVE YOUR FUCKING ASS!!!"

    And then I wonder if I might have anger management issues. Then I realized I haven't punched anyone in a really long time, so that's close enough to managed anger. So that means these wastes of space really are that annoying to walk behind. Shopping doesn't have to take 2 hours. You can be in and out in like 10 minutes. You just gotta know what you're buying, and where it is. But then these types just.....exist.

    So I just want everyone to know, that if you could lose a race to a snail, I want you to know that everyone hates you. If you're going to walk this slow, just get a mobility scooter. Maybe you'll be faster on wheels. Which means out of my way faster. And really, that's the ultimate goal here, right? Getting everyone out of my way. I think that's a goal everyone should work towards. That, and finding someone willing to bring me cheese regularly.

    I really like cheese.

    But also, I'm not gay. I had no idea speed was gay? Then again, I don't notice these things. I'm always the last to know if someone is gay. I didn't realize Richard Simmons was gay until 1995. I got made fun of for not knowing. And that's how I found out.

    It’s a long held belief or stereotype that gay men walk faster than straight men

    It is? Is this some commonly known stereotype that I just missed hearing about?

    The fuck does walking speed have to do with orientation? Do men get less gay as they get older and slow down?

    Unexpected?

    I appreciate all the funny comments about the gay tie-in, but the "unexpected health benefits" of WALKING is the dumbest attempt at clickbaitizing a headline that I've seen in a while.

    I never heard of this as "gay." Though my girlfriend and I (female) both walk pretty damn fast, so maybe there's something to it.

    The faster walking speed is so that I can be a bottom sooner and for a longer time.

    It’s unexpected that exercising with higher cardiovascular output is associated with health benefits?

    Brisk walking places greater demand on the heart, lungs, and muscles than slower walking.

    The article ignores causality to make our walking speed this quirky thing. In reality our heart beats faster because of historical trauma and hypervigilance, which the body automatically converts into increased walking speed. It might be adaptive but it's not fun constantly looking over your shoulder to watch for danger.

    Can confirm, am bisexual. Regularly stuck behind slow walkers but not fast enough to overtake fast walkers.
