I first saw this on t.v. yesterday. I think it's pretty funny because according to euro news italian men are still ogling women from the perimeters of the women's beach or just brazenly walking straight through it!

The only men allowed at the beach, Ravaglia said, are the hairdressers and lifeguards, The Times said.

How about female hairdressers and female lifeguards?! DUH

quote:

Milan housewife Cinzia Donati told The Times the beach, which also doesn't allow children, is "wonderful to relax, read or doze without hearing some child shouting 'Mamma, Mamma' 600 times --

I'm sold! Where can I find this place?!

The mind boggles...Maybe it's for when you're ready to leave the beach.

I like the idea of the women only beach. Years ago I went to a gym where there was a mens side and a womens side. That was nice as there was no one to stare at you in spandex.

Where's MCF? He was always complaining about being ogled in his spandex bike shorts. Maybe he needed a male only bike trail?

Bill, this thread is titled "No men allowed"...Did curiosity get the better of you?

Oh, I thought it was talking about the beach being No Men Allowed. You mean the actual thread is also No Men Allowed?

You couldn't know that it was about the beach until you opened the thread, now could you?

Of course I couldn't (I am not The Amazing Kreskin).

The thread is about a No Men Allowed beach. Is that the subject of the thread, or is the thread itself No Men Allowed? I still don't know.

The thread doesn't seem to contain any material that makes it No Men Allowed. If the OP will now state explicitly that the thread itself is No Men Allowed, I will gladly delete my post.

You really don't like when people are making fun of you, do you?

If Autumn states she meant the thread to be No Men Allowed, I'll certainly leave the thread.

Your motivation is irrelevant.

Bill, I'm pretty sure they were teasing.



...yes, I was curious too!

Like I said- it's a moot point.

I intended the thread to be about no men allowed on the beach!

Thanks Autumn!

I wanna go to that beach.

Jeeze... I think I'll stay out of this thread instead. I made a little joke on someone who ALWAYS jokes with everything and everyone in good humour and all well-meaning, and it turns into this.

It's just not worth it.

I dunno Gil. Sounds like you'd have to go in drag.

I am going to Riccione next weekend. Maybe I will wander over to the women's beach and check it out and report back to you guys!
I just feel kind of bad about leaving Bryan behind.
