My friends and I sometimes go to Wreck beach because there is the roughy equal ratio. Though lots of guys and girls are not stripping completely down, lots still do and it is a fun exciting unique place to hang ut. I think it has tobe the best in Norht America on a hot day.
: : Is it just me, or are most nude beaches here in the US are now havens for single men in their 50s and 60s? I was at Blacks over the weekend, and there were some very attractive women (holiday weekends are the best). But a group of us reminisced about nude beaches in the 70s and 80s, the days of flower power, painted bodies, the small of burning herbs in the air and a tolerable ratio of women to men.
: : But those vibes are distant memories and Blacks, San Onofre, More Mesa, Baker's Beach, etc. are dominated by men that use the beaches as a panacia for their post mid-life crises.
: : Why is this? My belief is that the perverted slobs with no understanding of what it means to be unobtrusive at the beach have forced the females away. Yeah, I check out the good looking naked babes, but I do it in a way that I am not gawking (shades help you know).
: : On July 4th I watched the throngs of guys parading the beach never looking at the ocean or straight ahead; rather, their heads were constantly gawking the beach goers. A good looking girl would have eight guys sitting around staring her down with an intensity...I don't even think these asswipes took the time to blink! It was if they do not care how obnoxiously rude they are, and how they are screaming to everyone else:
: : "I'm a gawking perverted idiot that rarely gets any and this is the only sex I'll ever get cuz no woman would ever have me...but don't try to explain to me how rude this is because I do not have the I.Q. or consideration to understand the concept"
: : OK, I vented, sorry...
: : Are there any nude beaches out there where the women exceed, say, 25% of the beach goers?
: Just head north. I am convinced that on the west coast, the ratio of women to men is a direct function of latitude.
: I have been to Wreck Beach on weekdays (Monday's seem to be best) where college age women make up 50% of the crowd on some parts of the beach. They come in droves. Groups of 3-5 are common. Often topless only these days or less, but hey.....
: I hope I don't sound like I'm rubbing it in :) -
: What if you want to stay in the US? Sauvie Is (Portland, OR) is still a good place to go although in recent years, it has shown some signs of the same problem. Its interesting because I like to go there when I know there will be vacationers from California on the beach. I can often tell the Californian's. Thats right - all those babes getting scared off of Blacks are still taking it off - its just that they're heading out of the region to do it! In otherwords I think the desire is still there on their part and that is good news.
: Black's is really depressing - I was there last October. I vowed I would never go back again.
: Someone on the internet was commenting recently about how in Germany, young women aren't going to Englisher Garden in Munich much any more - that they'd rather sit in trendy cafes showing off their new clothes. It didn't seem to be related to gawkers and it shows the trend you mentioned is global. The best fix would probably be for the economy to tank. When people have less money, they look for cheap entertainment and nude beaches is just that. The 70's economy wasn't too hot if you remember.
