The process starts by getting close to a few ladies and eventually chatting them up and maybe more. But for the moment the men are standing together, holding bottles of Grolsch premium beer and occasionally looking over a shoulder to admire some female cleavage. The game is to notice and be noticed while at all times keeping one's machismo facade or in the womens' case, to remain aloof and disinterested as the lady on the left is demonstrating while dancing with her mates, smart but scantily dressed.

They were once beautiful themselves and sit eagerly on a bench against a wall peering at the handsome young men, wishing they were young again. One holds a walking stick and the other grasps a bottle of wine. It is a scene of young and old, of youth and ageing beauty.
