Dating Tip #1: Girls, if you want to meet nice guys on the strand like I do, just carry a camera, walk with purpose, and SMILE. The camera is an excuse for guys to come talk to you or vice versa. Just think of something good to say for when they do approach. You could also invest in some lululemon pants.  My 3 pairs have already paid for themselves. No reason to get a dog (poop machine) just to meet people. Get yourself a camera.
