    The dating scene



    I'm single and in my early forties and most of the mates married, moved on, settled down etc. So nobody to go out on the pull with these days. Giving the On Line dating sites a bit of a go and had some success to date.....but.....swear to god 75% of the women's profile has "like walks along the beach" in various renditions. What is that all about?? literally 75% of them. I think I'll just give all other forms of meeting women away and just go and hang out at the beach and check out the hundreads of supposedly single women meandering up and down the beach!

    Walks along the beach......sheash!!!!

    Be afraid, very afraid

    Did a Google on "Like walks along the beach" and got this...

    Jeez, it's worrying what people will put out on the web.

    It's not all about (just) walking along the beach. There is the sand underfoot, the hopefully warm and sunny days, the fresh breeze and generally relaxed state of mind. Oh, then you might see someone of interest..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hifam...eature=related

    Magoo, me thinks that is a bit dated these days, besides with me at the table none of the other blokes would have a look in at the talent.....I'd have to give them some chance!

    Hi Goober.
    as my ozzie mate would say, if they don't share there equipment, then throw rocks at them.
    Broken windows everywhere at home.
    As for the table 4 / 6 . the wife would not allow me to join, spoil sport. I have it on good authourity that the success rate is very good. A collegue of similar age to yourself, had to bail out due to lack of sleep, a problem I have never encountered.
    A bit chilly currently to be sitting at the beach in your speedos

    Hi Mate,

    Can't help but reply. Met my now wife on well known Internet dating site!

    Watch out for profile info "likes snuggling up on the couch & watching a good movie" - code words for FATTY!!

    Good luck :-)

    Is that all she does, walk up and down?

    She could at least stop and breath deeply several times
