Do you walk faster than your wife/GF?

[RamenRaven]

Some of us walk faster than our significant others.

 

Others might be slower due to injuries, being middle-aged, or just wanting to take it easy.

 

And for others, it probably depends on the situation.

[VocalNeal]

No. But she walks slower than me. I think on purpose. As she can walk the same speed as me.

[KhunLA]

Damn embarrassing, they can't keep up ????

wife 45 yrs old & kid 23 yrs old

[bolt]

my wife walks same speed as me

 

as for the girlfriend, we normally walk in different directions 

[connda]

I walk the same speed.  My wife's speed depends on whether she is in a mood are not.

[Kwasaki]

We have always walked along side one another, we use to hold hands 22 years ago. ????

[poppysdad]

My wife for whatever reason usually likes to walk behind me which I find frustrating when she is far more fitter and capable than me. 

[Lacessit]

We probably walk at a similar pace. However, her taking about 200 photos in 9 holes of golf means she always lags behind.

That's Asian culture, females deferring to males.

[Golden Triangle]

It's not difficult to walk faster than my mrs, I'm about 5'11" and she's lucky to get over 5'. I have to slow down for her.

[MJCM]

My wife walks slower then me but that is ONLY because she needs a Knee operation but she is not doing the operation. So I walk the same speed as her.

[NoshowJones]

I walk about the same speed as my wife. She is only 3ins smaller than me and I am 6 ft.

[nikmar]

Depends on what we are walking towards - a somtam stall, and she's a woman on a mission and she practically sprints. 

 

If we go for a pleasant stroll in the park then she can nearly go backwards. Im thinking of hanging a bowl of pla raa in front of her, carrot and stick style.

Girls usually walk behind me

There is probably a good reason for that.

[Myran]

Yes, and she complains that I walk in front of her instead of next to her. The problem being that when I slow down to let her catch up, she slows down as well.

[Moonlover]

Madam Moon walks a lot faster than me when we're heading for the shopping mall or supermarket, then slows down to the usual Thai snail's pace once we get there!

[Dmaxdan]

I can't really remember. It's been a very long time since we walked anywhere together. 

I do remember going for a countryside walk with her in the UK back in 2009 and I have no memory of loosing her so she must have kept up.

If you're walking slowly and you're only middle-aged, you probably have an injury.

Well dodged, sir.

[chickenslegs]

When walking near handbag or shoe shops I tend to speed up, whilst she tends to slow down or stop.

The opposite applies when near a tools shop.

[Bobtheblob]

Mine anoys me by constantly swapping sides looks like am talking to myself. I told her if you keep doing that the world will end e.g if ant and Dec change sides the world is over. 

[freedomnow]

if possible, whenever I can.

[worgeordie]

My wife does that ,nearly tripping me up on occasions she cant come up with any sensible reason why she does it though. I suspect its to drive me crazy like most other things she does.

[proton]

Slower, turn around and she has nipped in a shoe, handbag or make up shop and thinks I will know????

[BritManToo]

I don't know, I don't go out with my wife/gf, her place is at home.

And the sideline girls I meet at the resort.

[swissie]

Traditionally Thai women walk 2 meters behind "her man". Still very common in rural Thailand.
I am amazed, how many Farang "Cultural-Experts" don't know about this.
-------------------------
In modern times, many Thai Males may find this tradition very helpful, especially while walking around in shopping malls. It puts a natural distance between the males wallet and his female companion.
