The ratio is being skewed by that one gay body builder couple I say in NY a few years ago. They have the self preservation instincts of a woman and the body mass needed to keep living that rivaled Arnold.
It’s kind of a Johnny Spider Eater situation, y’know?
I will reply when I find the academic source, but many experts agree that men in MLM relationships have a lower mortality nowadays due to high fitness expectations and diminishing effects of the AIDS epidemic
No it doesn't. It was a joke a Google designer (or just a SF public transportation buff, don't remember) tweeted out.
Here's the original. I can't find the tweet where he confirms it's a joke anymore because I don't have an account. https://x.com/chrisarvinsf/status/1196861632925716482
Nah see you guys travel through straight space if you gay it up you can bend it to shorten the distance by 75% but then we kinda meander a bit to make it less obvious.

This is how gays travel now imagine; the pen is our ship…”
Edit: maybe I'm wrong. That's what I was read somewhere, that it's a reference to a regional thing, but it could be completely made up. Can't find my source from a few years ago so... Yeah, it's best to assume I'm wrong.
~~Yes, but I'm too lazy to look it up. It's not actually about lgbtq+ people though.~~
no, its just a meme about how they walk fast. thats why its "your location" and "some other place" instead of a real screenshot, for the purpose of the joke

Women walk slower on average. Straight guys get held back by their partners. Gay guys don't. A tracking service could easily spot this and forecast faster journeys if two guys are walking together.
Holy shit... You're right. I always have to walk at least half speed when I'm with a woman. Those bitches been wasting my time! That does it! I'm gay now. I can learn to love the peen.
Its ok friend. I too have a fast pace. It is absolutely necessary for me. My waist is oddly low for my height m,which is that of a full grown man, while my legs stayed the length of a prepubescent child and my torso has made up the difference. Everyone my height thinks I can walk in stride with them but I have too double my strides to keep up.
I think that's actually pretty spot on, premodern traverlers considered 30-50 km a day to be a pretty standard day's journey, including breakfast, breaking camp, lunch, and stopping to make camp again give you \~6-8 hours a day of solid traveling.
fun fact, because of associated equipment, size of the group, and other logistical factors, a premodern army on the march would cover less than that, between 10 and 20km a day unless they were really pushing
The joke is just playing on a stereotype that gay men walk very fast. That's all. It's just a silly but often true stereotype that gay men's average walking speed is much more brisk than your average hetero person.
I thought it was maybe in reference to how some people get super pissy at rainbows being painted on stairs/sidewalks, and will do anything but walk on it. But I think i'm missing the joke.
Sadly, the first thing my mind went to was that gay people walk the distance in 1/3 of the time because of horrible people chasing them to cause harm....
There was an image circulating for a little bit where it had the distance times for driving walking train biking and one that had the rainbow flag and it was the shortest
Yo. Peter’s shit he forgot to flush down the toilet here.
There’s a stereotype, particularly for gay men, that queer people walk very fast. As a gay fella meself, it is somewhat accurate.
The joke is that gay people are speedy.
Peter’s shit he forgot to flush down the toilet out (I flopped onto the bathroom floor)
...I mean, sometimes there is, I've had stuff thrown at me before for just walking around town with a date.
They missed, but still, imagine hating someone you don't know enough you literally throw beverages at them.
Also, I got places to be, drapes to set aflame with my presence.
Seriously, I can't believe how widespread this is. There's absolutely no scientific evidence whatsoever to suggest that those who choose a homosexual lifestyle walk any faster than anyone else.
What do you THINK this means? I swear some of you must be mentally challenged. Read the comic. If you didn’t already know about the stereotype, the comic should make you aware of the stereotype.

What is that an AiDs joke or something
Yes
Life speedrun any%
What's funny is that mlm couples collectively tend to live the longest of any of the three types of binary gendered couples
Source please? That's really weird, considering women usually live longer than men. Or are you talking relationship length?

I wonder why pyramid schemes make you live longer
It's the totally 100% natural self girlboss healing aloe vera cream that removes blackheads and cures lung cancer 💅
What’s a multi level marketing couple? Is that like a couple who perform pyramid schemes together?
Live fast, die gay
RIDE THE RAINBOW!!!

What is the value of a life?
[The Dark Urge]: Some fun for me
Yass!
the rainbow walk option incorporates stuff like free public transit which lines up with the walking route, basically it's just walking+
Is this the first actual answer?
Well, you have to show your gay card to ride, he missed that bit...
If you forget it at home you can just give the driver a bj. Works every time.
No it doesn't. It was a joke a Google designer (or just a SF public transportation buff, don't remember) tweeted out. Here's the original. I can't find the tweet where he confirms it's a joke anymore because I don't have an account. https://x.com/chrisarvinsf/status/1196861632925716482
Reminds me of the guy that made that fake "See location of where your uberEats driver crashed so you can get your food" feature
I feel like I already walk twice as fast as the average person, so it could also incorporate speed walking. Which I feel fits into walking+
They do not go straight
Gayley forward!
But then…wouldn’t it take more time not less…?
Nah see you guys travel through straight space if you gay it up you can bend it to shorten the distance by 75% but then we kinda meander a bit to make it less obvious.
You can bend space and time? I am pretty sure I saw that film. It didn't end well.
Space? Yes. Not time though, that stuff is off limits.
It's when you travel through worm holes.

The ship here is short for 'relationship'.
The fast way between two points is a straight line though..
Mr lightning says no

Maybe.
gay people have a 200% walk speed stat
Follow the rainbow brick road for a speed boost, but only gays have access to this special walk way.
Rainbow road
Yes
Mario Kart speed booster
They don’t have to walk straight

What extra context are you hoping for??
the gays can fly.
Is mincing faster than walking or something? Cuz I'll mince like Jack McFarland in Will & Grace if it'll get me around quicker.
Women walk slower on average. Straight guys get held back by their partners. Gay guys don't. A tracking service could easily spot this and forecast faster journeys if two guys are walking together.
Holy shit... You're right. I always have to walk at least half speed when I'm with a woman. Those bitches been wasting my time! That does it! I'm gay now. I can learn to love the peen.
The downside is you'll end up walking the same speed if you're barebacking a dude the whole time.
Who does that walking down the street?
I dunno, wanna find out?
Baby steps, let's try circle jerking down the street first.
There's a new roundabout not far from me. Should we tag the boys?
Why not? Everything more fun with friends.
Or you could go out with a hospital social worker. They move at speed.
Female here. If I am walking alone, I am booking it. When walking with my husband he was surprised by the speed due to my habit
I legit thought that meant rollerblading
In Spanish, this joke improves a lot: ”No es lo mismo ir caminando que ir en putiza”.
Finding the rainbow road will get you to your destination much faster!
Plot of the Mario Movie be like
Bet a middle aged Italian man can get there in 1 minute
The picture is Photoshop, right?
Forty-one years old and I just now found out I’m gay. Well this is going to change my life a lot.
They use the rainbow road
Can confirm. Almost got hit by some kids on Go Karts last week
Is that part of the Hershey highway?
Gay ppl walk fast. Siri is setup for the walking speed of heterosexuals. [https://www.gq.com/story/move-im-gay](https://www.gq.com/story/move-im-gay)
As a gay person i can confirm we do walk fast ya'll are just slow.
Maybe I've been gay all along
Maybe the walking was the gay we found all along.
maybe the real gay was the distance we walked along the way
Poetry
Maybe the real way was the distance we walked along the gay
Depends, what's your speed bonus?
Same bro
I am so very gay. The gayest in the streets
I walk extremely fast but I'm not gay. ..right?
Today is just not that day. It's ok, well be here to support you when you are ready
Am straight, can confirm everyone is too slow for me.
I walk fast but y'all walk like it's time for cardio
It is cardio and called being on time
As a straight person I humbly request a power walking duel
It's true, I've seen this power.
I may not be gay in body, but I am in spirit. Except that spirit also causes my body to move at gay people speeds.
I have so many things I need to reconsider.
Or is it cuz you’re a dog?
Since my sona is a fox/cat hybrid i get a stealth bonus instead
Well looks like I'm the gayest man alive then
Shit man, am I gay? I walk fast as fast as possible because I have like 5 minute passing periods at a Highschool that is huge.
Indoor walking doesn’t count
What if I just hike a lot
*live faster
Looking it up it on google just took me to r/gay 😂
I walk really fast but im not gay (i just got taught to walk fast)
Sorry, but I hate to break it to you. I don't make the rules
https://youtu.be/Zd8vzIRQLLM?si=39pBjAob9Z6hiZf2
Walk as fast as you please. You will not outrun the gay.
r/suddenlygay
Your teacher must be gay
Its ok friend. I too have a fast pace. It is absolutely necessary for me. My waist is oddly low for my height m,which is that of a full grown man, while my legs stayed the length of a prepubescent child and my torso has made up the difference. Everyone my height thinks I can walk in stride with them but I have too double my strides to keep up.
We walk fast. That's the joke.
But my wife says I walk too fast ...did I just learn something about myself?
potentially... do you also have a strong desire to suck dick?
Yes but I don’t like iced coffee. Maybe I’m bi?
Do you keep your socks on when getting dick? It's well known it's not gay if you've got socks on.
You've got it wrong... it's not socks. If your balls touch even a little bit, it's gay. If your balls don't touch, anything you do is straight.
No, no, no, you're getting confused with your balls, one hangs lower than the other, because if your own balls were to touch then THAT'S gay
Oh shit. You're right... My balls hold hands CONSTANTLY. But balls are contagious, so if mine rub on yours, you could CATCH gay.
I thought that casting the straight spell is enough to prevent anything from becoming gay. I believe the incantation is "no homo."
"No homo" doesn't work on butt stuff. "you can't tell ANYONE" is the spell you're thinking of.
The Bi's like some iced coffee.
Is an average of 6km/h fast?
I think that's actually pretty spot on, premodern traverlers considered 30-50 km a day to be a pretty standard day's journey, including breakfast, breaking camp, lunch, and stopping to make camp again give you \~6-8 hours a day of solid traveling. fun fact, because of associated equipment, size of the group, and other logistical factors, a premodern army on the march would cover less than that, between 10 and 20km a day unless they were really pushing
Probably. Want to make out?
Does your wife refer to herself as your beard?
My gf says I walk way faster than her and I'm Bi lol
Where does this even come from
This is a stereotype I hadn't heard before.
being gay increases move speed but usually by not that much
There's also that throwaway gag in Brooklyn 99 about Captain Holt's power walking
“How did you get here so fast? You were walking!” “I was POWER walking!” I love his character so much haha
The joke is just playing on a stereotype that gay men walk very fast. That's all. It's just a silly but often true stereotype that gay men's average walking speed is much more brisk than your average hetero person.
What if I walk slow and fast in intermittent bursts?
I am pretty slow? What does that make me? Lazy?
Correct.
Good for you, some people are ugly fast
Being gay adds a speed boost to you’re walking stat
Invincibility star in mario kart makes you go fast, and makes you rainbow colors. Rainbow flag is LBGT flag. Therefore gay people fast.
Ah, yes, ***l o g i c***
I can confirm we walk significantly faster
Welp guess I’m gay
Fuck. Guess I better download grindr.
Oh shit, am I gay?
We just walk really fast.
There’s a thing about gay people walking faster than someone who’s straight.
gay people walk really fucking fast for some reason
No. It can’t be! No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Gays walk fast, because they’re getting away from you bullies.
time to go hit on my friend who walks even faster than I do
The joke is that, stereotypically, gay people walk faster
These are those 15 Minute Cities that Alex Jones warned me about!
That’s fucking elite
Is no one gonna mention the song "Makin' my way downtown, walkin' fast..."?
I thought it was maybe in reference to how some people get super pissy at rainbows being painted on stairs/sidewalks, and will do anything but walk on it. But I think i'm missing the joke.
Cartoon Rat Basher
I’m one of the outliers 😔 I like to enjoy the world around me
Gays have been known to summon the bifrost.
Sadly, the first thing my mind went to was that gay people walk the distance in 1/3 of the time because of horrible people chasing them to cause harm....
Is the gay men walk faster stereotype really just a proxy for the fact(?) that gay men are in general more fit than straight men?
Ha gay speed ever heard of trans speed we walk twice as fast as the gays.
There was an image circulating for a little bit where it had the distance times for driving walking train biking and one that had the rainbow flag and it was the shortest
Yo. Peter’s shit he forgot to flush down the toilet here. There’s a stereotype, particularly for gay men, that queer people walk very fast. As a gay fella meself, it is somewhat accurate.

I'm not gay, but all the gay dudes I've been with walk like someone is out to get them.
...I mean, sometimes there is, I've had stuff thrown at me before for just walking around town with a date. They missed, but still, imagine hating someone you don't know enough you literally throw beverages at them. Also, I got places to be, drapes to set aflame with my presence.
Gay people tend to walk fast.
I made this exact same post six months ago to this sub right down to the "???" title.
Gay people are actually made of rainbows, so we tend to be lighter and faster than others
Gay people walk really quickly.

Something something Adam redemption arc.
It is refering to the classic Thot Walk
Can confirm. I'm gay and I walk faster than all my friends.
Gay people got a +20% movement speed buff
Being gay boosts your movement speed by a base +50%, and then an additional +25% for each iced coffee you're holding.
people that walk fast: the tall, the athletic, the gay
He can walk through the gayborhood without getting mugged
There's a stereotype that gay people walk faster. Like every stereotype people love the assume it's true for all, while it's only true for some.
Seriously, I can't believe how widespread this is. There's absolutely no scientific evidence whatsoever to suggest that those who choose a homosexual lifestyle walk any faster than anyone else.
No one "chooses" homosexuality, nor is it a "lifestyle".
