On dating sites, everyone says they like long walks on the beach. When I am at the beach, no one is walking down the beach, they are all sitting.

What gives?

[Is it actually a code only I don't know, about a type of sex or drug? ??]

I like sitting on the beach at sunset. Or, if on the east coast, sunrise. Other than that......

Long walks along the beach (in a literal sense) can be wonderful. Walk bare footed and feel the waves gently caressing your feet along with the nice sensation of grainy sand, fresh coastal breeze... tranquil sounds of the water...

But most people put that on their profile in order to see other people naked.

Living by the beach, I walk it often enough but much prefer a quiet & sunny rock with a good book.

Maybe they had all finished their long walks..and were discussing 2nd base..?

I don't know why so many people would give the same answer. Perhaps long walks on the beach are symbolic of a good relationship. I know I'm tired of taking all my walks alone.

Sorry but it is and we can't tell you.

I thought long walks on the beach was the same equivalent to Netflix and chill on tinder. 🙂

Great idea in a movie. But apparently they never actually did it. I’d prefer a nice float down the river. I think it really means they want a fantasy romance. I know I’ll come up short and don’t even try.

Lot's of people also like clarify that they like nights in AND nights out. Almost everyone seems be into climbing too. My local climbing centre is just not that busy!

Dating sites are like Facebook
I believe that people make up as much uplifting things about their self as possible, the exception with Facebook is they seem to enjoy making up as much negative things about others. Guessing they believe that the lower others appear the higher they are placing themselves.
As in walks on the beach sounds much more civilized than, we all passed out on the beach after drinking way to many alcoholic beverages.
And when we realized that Bob was married to an octopus, and spent a fortune on wedding rings.

Maybe in the older age range. I occassionally see millenials posting about liking long walks on the beach. They tend to focus on their gym rat or athletic lifestyles instead.

Its code for, "this is what I think would very romantic, but I don't really do it, but I would like to."

The term comes from a time period that long walks, holding hands and such on the long walk and in-depth conversation were valued. Hopefully the in-depth conversation is still valued. Nothing to do with sex or drugs.

That is very funny! Believe me I've been here all my life. There are people taking long walks on the beach. I like to do it myself as often as possible.

Maybe the long walk types go to the special long walk portion of the beach!

In a word, Buttplugs, they are supposed to feel better when you are sitting on soft sand, at least that's what I am told..

I prefer short walks to the fridge

Odd. I walk on the beach and always notice other walkers...

I suspect it's equivalent to loving to walk in the rain. Really?? Maybe I'm afraid I'd rust, but I don't find that romantic, either. I'm afraid that a lot of people watch too many romantic comedies and assume that anything that happens in those make them sound like a good romance partner. Maybe there would be more matches if everyone was just honest about themselves. Like that's ever going to happen.

I'd love to walk on the beach or woods or anywhere! I hate the fact that it is a go to phrase so often. Would I like to? Yea! But I can't. I have MS, every step is a struggle. can we sit and talk?

I can't take long walks on the beach. The water is over my head after only 5 minutes or so.
