Do gay men walk faster than straight men or folks in general? This seems to be a stereotype apparently.

What nonsense. Never heard the stereotype. My grandfather is 89 and walks so fast I can't keep up with him and my mother ensures me he has done it all his life, and he's certainly not gay.

Straight guys who walk faster take longer strides.

Most frau fuckers walk in a slow pimp roll because they are trying to look like they are all that.

We do everything faster, hunty!

R1, I agree it may well be nonsense, but it is an existing stereotype, see this GQ article

Bottoms might. I’m a masculine, dominant top. I’m also a Leo, so I take my sweet time with a smooth, confident stride that says “No need to rush because the party doesn’t start until I get there.”

r6 Oh sweetie, you think you're masculine. Humble and masculine.

I walk slow so that married daddy's load doesn't drip down my legs.

"Bottoms might. I’m a masculine, dominant top. I’m also a Leo, so I take my sweet time with a smooth, confident stride that says “No need to rush because the party doesn’t start until I get there.”

Faster and better, OP.

#6 = John Goodman

All the queeny boys learnt to walk fast in high school to escape the bullying jocks

This is how I imagine a fast-walking gay: nose in the air, hips swinging (but not too much) and the occasional dismissive glance at a fat person.

I think the stereo type may come from the fact that Gay men tend to move to urban areas. People in urban areas tend to walk faster and with more intention. Of course, when they return to Bumfuck, Where-ever, the assumption is that it is the Gays who walk quickly.

My 2 brothers and I are all fast walkers and they are hardly gay . I never really thought about the subject , but now that I do I can see how thats thought . My husbands and most of my boyfriends indeed easily kept up with me , and Ive been told all my life I walk too fast . Hmmm .

The saddest thing about R6 is that he actually could believe that. I don't doubt he has practiced that strut. Neither does anyone who observes it. Trust me Meryl.

And working on your stride kinda goes against all that other BS.

I remember going to Chicago as a 12yo gayling and my aunt kept telling me "You're in the city! You need to walk fast!" So I do.

R8 thats a pretty good reason right there. Usually with me the loads are on my chest, so I can pass the time later during boring meetings and such pickin dried cum outta my chest hair

R10 faster and better, damn right, fuck yeah!

We sashay through the streets of Barcelona while everyone panics about this imaginary Chink Flu.

Fast walkers supposedly live longer.

R20 I hope so, if thats true I got plenty of years left

R13 I been guilty of the occasional dismissive glance at a fat person, the rest not so much

[quote] I got shit to do and places to go, a long ways to go and a short time to get there. And I dont much like being held up by herds of the slow moving

Oh, Mary, you sound SO important.

We are all so impressed.

we don't walk

we SASHAY!

[quote] Erna

Cunt!

We sashay and prance.

No "we" don't. We try to get the fuck away from POS idiots as fast as possible.

R26 pretty much, I'd say thats a fair assessment

Yes

My straight friend says he can tell gay guys by the way they walk. He says noNgay men generally walk unhurried and without any flair, whereas a lot of gay men walk at a fast clip with some flamboyant or nonmasculine mannerisms. He says at most, nongay guys walk with an urban swag, but never fast.

DLers walk wish a swish and a sashay, hands extended upwards.

Nothing screams masculinity more than a belief in astrology, honey. You don’t need to bother with that butch walk if you can analyze people with a horoscope.

Butch?

I tend to flounce.

R29 interesting, thanks for that. I oughta ask some of my straight friends

R22 I aint important, just white trash y'all, just got no time to waste. Time is money and I aint got fuckall of that

Test

Bump

We sashay dahling.

OP has "Walk Rage".

Yes and they twirl while doing so.

We prance.

LOL r 40 love it im crying 🤣

My husband and I noticed when we went to the Vatican that you could tell the gay priests by the way they walked across St. Peter’s faster than average and with a slight flounce that gave them away.

My partner says I have a purposeful walk. My mother told me I walk like my grandfather. I used to be a fast walker, but I've slowed down in recent years, mainly because I no longer feel the need for speed.

I walk so, so fast, but never thought I was exhibiting a gay stereotype in the process.

My one and only vacation this year was a hiking trip to Yellowstone, and me and the friend I was with had to agree I could just go and she'd catch up. I'd keep her in my line of sight for safety purposes, but I just can't walk at a leisurely pace.

The comment at R35 is the story of my life. Sometimes when I come up to an automatic door I'm tempted to pry it open so I can continue fast-walking.

This whole number is how I walk!

R40 Damn that is hilarious

Anyone got a clip of Lindsay Graham walking. Or prancing, or mincing or however the Senatrice moves

This thread is why I love DL. Fast walker here, for purpose and pleasure. Direct link to another thread about 'What enrages you?' - so many posts on dawdlers spread out complacently, causing hold-ups.

Love that Fast Walking is a gay trait with urban derivation, more than happy to own it. Maybe a new euphemism looms:

'Odd how he never settled down with a woman.'

'He's a fast walker. He walks fast.'

'Ah, got it.'
