DEAR DR. NERDLOVE: So I been married to my wife for 20 years. Our connection was intense! But now I’m wondering: why does my wife tend to touch other men on their arms or shoulders? I have expressed to her it makes me uncomfortable, but she does it anyway!
Personally, I try to avoid conversations or being in close proximity to other women. That way, in this day and age nothing can be misconstrued! I especially don’t touch other women anywhere, whether it be a pat on the shoulder or any where! I especially don’t stand close enough to other women to allow them to touch me, friendly or otherwise!

Spanning 14 square miles, Corvallis provides a cohesive network of bike lanes, multiuse paths and sidewalks. Our bike infrastructure has achieved national recognition from organizations like PlacesForBikes and the League of American Bicyclists, the latter of which designated Corvallis as a Gold-level Bicycle Friendly Community. Our community embraces active transportation, and this is great because choosing active transportation modes is beneficial to the community: it leads to a healthier population, less pollution, less space required for parking, less congestion and perhaps less stress associated with the risk and responsibility all of us accept by getting behind the wheel of a car. This latter point is also where a key challenge to active transportation lies: ensuring that walkers and bicyclists can get where they need to go safely.
