Period.&#8221; &#8212; Disgruntled young bachelor Sea Lion<\/p><cite>wished to remain anonymous <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Dating outlook has been grim on the ship docks lately as over a hundred male bachelor Sea Lions crowd in together to strut their stuff, bark literally all day and night (never giving it a darn rest) and doing keen tricks off the dock. &#8220;Back flip and caught a Rockfish! Bro!  Brooooo!!!!&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But one thing is missing in the exciting lives of these single bachelor Sea Lions, they&#8217;re lonely and wanting love.  Every Sea Lion in the photo below is male.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"704\" height=\"938\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dysmalnitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lonelylonelysealions.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dysmalnitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lonelylonelysealions.jpg 704w, https:\/\/www.dysmalnitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lonelylonelysealions-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><figcaption>&#8220;I thought this would be a party atmosphere with mingling&#8230;&#8221; &#8212; Ted the Sea Lion, #35 on the Left<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked how neighbors viewed the none stop partying the Sea Lions present said, &#8220;BRO! Bro, bro, BRO!&#8221;  in a series of barks.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several said after winter they planned to swim out to the coast of California and see if they could &#8220;find some action&#8221; but if not the non-stop party atmosphere was, &#8220;killer!BRO, BRO!&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some quieter Sea Lions pine for a more settled domestic life and finding true love and feel pressured into the party-boy lifestyle of the group.  For them love is not on the horizon. &#8220;It&#8217;s like if there was a female here she would only be interested in the largest, strongest, and most fierce Sea Lion.  With the ladies these days it&#8217;s all about who catches the Salmon and never about literature and science.  I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m going to bother swimming west this year.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hundreds of bachelor-ready-to-party California Sea Lions have packed the dock, but for some it&#8217;s a lonely sojourn.
