discussion Is it inconsiderate to walk ahead of your partner during a walk?

[CottageHore]

Yes. This is why I refuse to date. I have legs for miles and your stubs aren't about to slow me down

This is so me.. it should never be inconsiderate unless you're out in the town on a busy walkway and lose sight of them completely.

I do this  I always look back though to see if he's keeping up

And they don't have a problem with it?

nope

 

I've been a fast walker since childhood, so I might be biased (jewish, grew up on the east coast, has an east coast jew mother who walks fast, is bisexual... that's the four deadly fast walker characteristics I have that ensured I'd be a fast walker lol) but I really can't stand when people walk super slow. my ex best friend (who looked a bit like me and was into some similar stuff as me...? idk I'm awake too early cause I have a psych appointment so I could elaborate better later maybe) walked SUPER slow and got annoyed at me for being a naturally fast walker but it just was extremely goofy of him cause he couldn't control his voice in my house whenever I told him to be quieter at night when my parents were asleep, he talked slow in general which I just couldn't always vibe with, and his ears were always clogged to sh*t so he was always asking me to repeat myself. it's the small things that sometimes are big pet peeves for me. I'm just chiefly at the point in my life where people need to keep up better, take care of themselves better, and just be on my level if they're tryna be close to me. and he wasn't, and neither was my lazy ass ex boyfriend who hated walking in general. like? just get the drive to be in better shape please? idk, there was so little effort on his part and it made me sad cause I wanted us to be healthy and happy together and he just wasn't feeling it. he'd use excuses like "oh well you're in better shape than me, Joe, slow down." like no? I'm not gonna f*cking slow down. you obviously aren't naturally as athletic or skinny as me, sure, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't TRY to walk faster and be healthier. it's the refusal to put in effort that turns me the HELL off at this point. even his parents would tell him to stop being so lazy, but no, he refused to even try to change

 

I say that if your natural pace is fast, keep at it. it's good for you, it shows you have a restless mind and spirit that likes being energized and stimulated. I don't believe it should be a feature of yours to be shamed. it's not inconsiderate, it's just you being you!

My bf does this, I finally asked him about it yesterday and he said his anatomy just doesn't allow him to walk as slow as me  (he's 6'3 I'm 5'7) 

 

We ended up on the agreement that I would walk faster but he can't laugh at me for looking like a tweaker

Why would you wait for multiple people to catch up to you.. on a walk?  Just exercise by yourself
