Thanks for clearing that up for me. I haven’t been able to sleep at nights wondering about this person running while unconscious.

Yes. Which is what makes blanket statements like “Trail running probably does prevent injury” misleading. At best, you could write “Trail running probably does prevent some types of injury”.

Well, maybe some people can. My joints hurt more if I run on pavement than on trails, and no number of studies saying the opposite will change that fact.

Amateur.

“most people unconsciously land a little softer...”

What would the reaction be if a male staffer wrote an article called “Women Should (Usually) Not Wear Flats”?

No, body positivity and confidence in your style is only okay for women. If men want to wear sandals, someone has to write an article about it, apparently.

Can we please for the love of God remove the phrase “mandals” from the lexicon? Sandals are not women-specific footwear. They’re unisex.

Yes, because you salmon-shorted, Sperry-wearing North Easterners look so much cooler than someone wearing flip flops. I think I shattered an eye socket from rolling my eyes so hard.

I wouldn’t wear flip-flops in NYC either just by the chance of contracting a fungus or disease. But I live in Charleston, SC and if it’s above 55 degrees and I’m not in the office or at a nice dinner/event, I’m wearing flip flops, case closed. To each their own my friend.

Man sandals are hard to make work.

Are you an eskimo? Or maybe a Canadian?

I’ve casually observed the various blog posts you’ve made for Gawker. Given the topics of most of those posts, I’m going to say your sense of style and your taste is worth about a five pound sack of turds, and ignore anything you say I shouldn’t do.

Honestly, I never know with this stuff. Sometimes it’s “this is stuff a man should never wear” and sometimes it’s “hey, don’t let anyone else tell you what a man should drink! A real man does whatever the fuck he wants!”

I’ll wear whatever the hell I want. If you don’t take me “seriously” because I’m wearing sandals that says way more about your shallow mind than it does me.

Also, knowing Ms. Horn disapproves will only add to my satisfaction in wearing my sandals and shorts.

Definitely a mental issue. It’s called “I’m an asshole who can’t take no for an answer.”

Best to not make internet diagnosis while also equating TERRIBLE BEHAVIOR = MENTAL ISSUES. He might have had a mental issue, but also might just have been an asshole. There are plenty of examples out there of so called “nice” men who refuse to ever take “no” for an answer. It doesn’t always end well for the woman…

Jesus, each of these stories should have ended with a scalding bowl of soup to the dick for the men involved.

I'm sorry, but the doctors in Myth #2 are crazy. Eating carbs releases insulin. Eating carbs a lot releases more insulin, cells become insulin resistant. Pancreas produces more insulin and more insulin until it shuts down and now you have Type 2 Diabetes.
