I'm not saying I have a better way to handle it. Maybe, for playability and balance's sake, this is how it has to work. But Gurps is supposed to attempt to simulate reality. It isn't realistic that, if I have a yardstick and my friend doesn't, that he can consistently touch me with his hand before I can touch him with the yardstick, as long as he waits and I advance on him.

There may not be a better way to handle it. But I don't see how you can deny that it is a problem.
