Just had a thought (yes, it lonely all by itself).
How many men were on the beach that day? Of those men, how
many noticed the female in question? So what was the
percentage of men on the beach that made overtures? If they
were the only ones, then it was 100%. If there were 100 men,
then it was only 3%. A matter of perspective. Not all men
are boors.

What! You were on the beach and a man made *gasp* overtures! Oh my God! You wouldn't by any chance have been wearing a sexy bikini, French cut perhaps? If you don't want men to talk to you on the beach, what you do is cut a hole in a garbage bag and put that on. Or eat like a hog for a few weeks until you resemble a beached whale. Then I'm pretty sure no one will bother you. Why don't you admit it? You love the attention you get on the beach! Cut the bullshit! B. Dog P.S. Maybe you net.singles types could all get together and go to the same beach. You could all bring terminals and post articles to eachother and sure wouldn't have to worry about overtures. Bored to death, yeah. Approached... I doubt it. But if its high testosterone levels you really want.. I'm sure there's a few of us left out there who'd be happy to fulfill your wildest dreams.

We don't mind men making overtures to us on the beach. It's the stupid Dogs who store their brains in their swim trunks and who decide which women are worthy of their attention based on the women's attire and eating habits that bother us. >Why don't you admit it? You love the attention you get on the >beach! Cut the bullshit! We don't admit it because it isn't true. Too much of the attention comes from the aforementioned Dogs. > B.

I have a wild dream I'd love for you to fulfill. It has to do with going to the moon.... -- --JB ((Just) Beth Christy, U. of Chicago, ..!ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!beth) Sylvia says `A real lady never asks: "Was *what* good for me?".

Cut the bullshit! > B. Dog > Sure, we wash our hair because it looks better clean; we purchase clothes that "compliment", rather than buy something that looks awful on us; we use cosmetics to enhance our looks. Speaking for myself, after I go through all the time and trouble to look better I HOPE people notice the improvement. A compliment, "you look nice today" or "your exercises are working", etc. should be welcome. However, receiving a compliment, or any type of positive attention is far different than having one's privacy interrupted. For example, lets suppose the woman in question (original article) DID have a French-cut, sexy, itty-bitty bikini. Chances are she WILL get attention...she should probably EXPECT it and be prepared to handle it...however, a "whistle" or any comments could be handled and taken however she wanted them to be. What CAN'T be handled is a big galloot hanging all over her and NOT taking the simple hint that her privacy would be greatly appreciated. When she felt threatened, she should have told him where she stood. He should have honored it. The fact that he knew she didn't want him around (he SHOULD have known...she made it pretty obvious), and he stayed on, showed complete rudeness and vanity. jlh ***who's opinions are these? don't lie...tell me! tell me!***
