And either every man is extremely active (in the City it means they work out 5-7 times a week; in the country they play seven sports) or they think we want them to. They probably think we will imagine them fit and toned. I imagine them as exhausting and no time for me.

I missed that code completely. I like air conditioning and food that requires a fork. Sometimes I get crazy and open a window and eat tacos.

Maybe they mean the movie "The Beach" ?

I just think a romanticized idea. It's a public yet tranqual setting to kick your shoes off and spend some time together. Just talking or saying nothing at all. Can be followed up with some dinner with some wine. Often leads to a romantic evening by the fire in a nice hotel with more wine. We all know where this is going. Que the 70s porn music.

Lies..and more lies...

There's peace in telling vthe truth,since no one ever wanted to date me for being honest, I am great ful that my hand never get tired of aiding me in masterbation, it's a great friend and reliable.

I dislike long walks.

I dislike the beach.

I am a failure at romance lmao

They may be sitting when you pass by, but how did they get there?

It's cos some moron a long tie, ago decided long walks on the beach was romantiv so they think that if they write it it will come true ...when in reality any kind of walk is way to much effort for them

Nobody tells the actual truth on these sites I am sure......it’s probably what they think sounds romantic! ?

Sorry, my sister lives on the ocean in Palm Beach and I never miss a walk on the beach when I'm there. For some reason when with someone else I can walk on a beach for a long time and not notice the time or distance as I would on regular ground. When I'm walking I see others walking. Maybe it depends on the beach, crowds etc. Although I can recommend sex on the beach, the act not the drink, I actually do like to walk on the beach and do it whenever I can.

I would never think to write about walking on the beach, but on the rare occasion when I'm at the beach my wife and I always walk a few miles up the beach and back. Always early in the morning or just before dark, and there are always quite a few others walking, running, walking their dog or looking for shells.
It could be the time of day you're there, or maybe some beaches are different.

The phrase is nearly always an indicator of not-much-there. Move on......

I don't know what it is. I live in Missouri and everyone likes "long walks on the beach." We have none. We have no oceans. When I lived in Texas and went to Galveston it was usually too hot for long walks on the beach. What gives with this saying? Wishful thinking maybe.

No one wants to admit that their hobbies are eating carryout, watching TV/Netflix, and browsing websites. There are some things that people think are easy to claim as hobbies, like reading, walking/hiking, music, etc.

My solution, as sometime who actually has hobbies like that, is to get specific. I'm going to back up reading by mentioning an interesting book I've recently read or what I'm working on now. I'm going to post photos of me out hiking. I'm going to tell you what musical instruments I play and what some of my favorite musicians are.

I think that's the solution to a boring dating profile: make it specific.

You need to be there at dusk and dawn....that's when the walkers walk....
before the crowds of the fat, lazy and sunbaked with their screaming crotchfruit show up.....

If anything, I like long walks to the beach, because it is over a thousand miles away

I think they mean when you are vacationing at a resort in the Caribbean because there isn't much else to do unless you want to drink and dance with other tourists or eat until you float like a whale...yeah, both are not exactly what real people do for romance...it is code for not much going on or else a copy and paste of standard "romantic" profiles...I would be skeptical...

Show your sense of humor.

With apologies to Paul Simon, my profile begins with:

There must be fifty ways to meet your lover.

Hike a new trail, Dale
Climb a new hill, Bill
I’m full of joy, Roy
Come trekin’ with me.

I’m lookin’ for smiles, Miles
Intellectually smart, Art
Love a man with wit, Mitt
Come set yourself free.

You need a more isolated beach. They are out there.

Waking on a tourist beach would be very unappealing

Ha!
I'm not a fan of long walks, or running on sand. It's exhausting. Also, a sand beach is as germ infested as the bathroom on an airliner. There, that takes care of this myth.

You don't know the code??? Hmmm....wanna take a walk on the beach?

Ditto the comment on walking just before sunrise, when the beach is nearly vacant, the rhythm of the waves, the crisp salt air, the sand in between the toes. I live on an island, and try and get up early every Sunday and take my pup to our "Sunday Service." As to your OP, I think most simply have this fantasy of a tropical paradise with only two holding hands and strolling. More of a metaphor for finding a deep, contemplative relationship.

Beaches are nice. Walks on the beach are nice, I suppose, but I’d rather sit with my feet in the surf and drink a cold beer.

My profile says I like midnight strolls on the beach and hikes through the woods which are both great places to hide a body. ?
