RE: Why do so many accept hundreds of 'friends' and then never speak to any of them?

I totally agree, I have friend-ed people who I thought had similar interests etc with a view to staying in touch and sharing experiences. As a frequent traveler I could even meet some of them in the flesh. Its exactly as you say almost like people want a swollen scorecard of "friends" just because.

I dont usually accept friend requests. I used to and then found out that some were just friend collectors for whatever their reasons, If I friended some in an area I was to be in and wanted to meet up even as couples for a hello, it would fall through. People would even use their pets and other thingsas a ploy to friend you. Then never connect with us again. I cant tell you how many people want to friend and want to meet at a resort because they either been there before or want to have friends to be there with and either they dont show or wont tell where to meet them at or if you do come across them they have ignored us. And of course you get the ones that want to meet up for the fact they want sex. Sorry, isnt worth the frustration anymore. Too many fakes out there for us. So we graciously deny.

There is an option to have your pohotos only viewable by friends...So if you have lots of photos, you get lots of requests.So strange how some people who say they like to live their lives as social naturists..... Want to see so many pictures of naked people.

Being a woman I am constantly bombarded with friend request. At present I have more than 100 pending requests.

It's not polite to ignore someone but at the same time one can't accept all incoming request.

I recently added a guy after chatting few times and then he kept stalking my page and pinged me everytime I was online

I had to meet him personally in public and explain him that I will not be able to pull down my pants and spend an evening with him

The better question is, why are you so worried about what others are doing? If they want to "collect friends" as worded here, then that's their prerogative. All you need to do is deny their friend request (if you even got one) and keep it moving. This is a nudist community. We're used to people judging us. Let's not do what they do and judge folks within our own community, especially on how they choose to use the site. Do what makes you happy, and stop judging others on what makes them happy.

Well said!

Why did you go so far out of your way as to meet him in person to explain this to him? This is fairly common on my end, so i imagine that being female, it would be even more common on yours. I wouldnt take the time to meet in person just to tell them no.

Fortunately there are enough good people on this site that make up for these bad eggs

I also don't understand... Most people who send me a request even don't read my profile. So I just hit 'delete'.

I respond to all legitimate messages. I have never received any message from you. Furthermore, you claim this in your profile "I don't accept Not Certified nudists..." It makes absolutely no sense to make this kind of statement and then contact non certified members here. What would be the point. Something is very fishy about you......................

I agree sunlover, something is strange. But, I think it might be with your attitude. After seeing your post I tried to view your profile but found that it was a private profile, only viewable by friends. And, it instruct me to send a friend request. Why would I want to send you a friend request if I don't know anything about you? I don't care about your pictures, but I would like to know something about you. I would also send some messages back and forth before I would send a friend request. How can I ask to be your friend if I don't know anything about you?

I think people are not very much informative about their nudity...everyone has their own interests of this game.

I tried to communicate to many but as I m gay they were less interested to talk to me....
