Does a Man Slow Down When Walking With You? He's in Love
It wasn't true for me. The one time I tried to jog with my husband, he took off like he heard the starter's pistol. But a new study has found that most men slow down when they're walking with a woman to meet her pace -- if she's his romantic partner. According to medicalnewstoday.com, the study tracked men and women walking three different ways -- alone, with their significant other (with and without holding hands), and with a person of the opposite sex. When the males walked with their female romantic partners, the researchers observed that they slowed down by an average of 7% to match the female's speed.
