Ever since I was a kid I knew I was different from others. My legs are built so that they can walk without getting tired for some reason. It doesn't matter who I walk with, women or family, all have complained they were tired when I was enjoying spending time with them and wanted to walk even further rather than turn around and go home.

...I can ride 100 miles on a bike in one day and be able to keep going the next day without a problem. I can walk on the sand in the beach all day and still be actually enjoy the walk at the end of it.

The few women I went on a date with on South Beach wanted to turn around and go back after two hours of walking or take a rest.


Two hours in the sand isn't a "long" a walk. It's barely maybe 8 or 9 miles.

I recently suggested a date that involves biking 30 miles (on a trail, not a road) to a beach spot, and the girl though that it was a bit far.


There is one thing I want to be able to find in a partner and that is someone who enjoys an all day physical activity... Yet I haven't found any woman that really wants to do that...

I imagine that some people who claim they like long walks on the beach bull****, yes.

Assuming you mean talk about nothing of importance by "bull****".

It appears your idea of "long" and their idea of "long" are at completely opposite ends of the definition of "long". I would not walk 8 or 9 miles on a beach myself but I walk about 1 mile twice a day and that is about all I can do and some days I'm lucky to get that far because of my health issues.

Pardon, English is not my first language, but thank you for correcting me.

I guess I should have said:


Do people that claim to like long walks lie about liking long walks on the beach?

MOST people who sincerely like "long walks on the beach" want a leisurely stroll of not more than a mile or 2 at the most my friend.

Whooppee for you that your legs are so strong and in marathon condition but don't be so rigid in your standards here.

What you are really looking for is a woman who enjoys more serious/extreme biking and hiking.

And there is nothing wrong with that, except for you acting all snobby like there is something wrong with others for not having your same standards

Time to join an outdoor adventure type club or group so you can more easily meet the kind of women who enjoy the more extreme stuff you are looking to do.

They ARE out there - you just aren't looking in the right places, or asking the right kinds of questions when you meet women.

Ever since I blew out my flip flop and stepped on a pop top, cut my heel and had to cruise on back home, I now look at long walks on the beach differently.

That sounds possible. Whenever someone thinks we've been walking too long I laugh out loud and say, "not long enough".
