Why is it so hard to meet real people to hang or do things in the nude?
Why is it so hard to meet people to hang with in the nude locally? Every Time I post something in status seems like the only replies I get are someone just looking for sex.....I want to meet people to do things in the nude with..tired of doing it by myself.......I want to meet male, female, couples that just like to be nude socially, hiking etc....I have the river close by so skinny dipping is not a problem.... plenty of mnt at back door... just don't understand why it is so hard.....I am not looking for sex...I can get that anytime......and I understand I am a single male but I am honest......
Ican relate but I'm probably on the opposite end of that question.
We'd like to have more nudist friends, but for that one element to define us as the only thing in common keeps us from pursuing an open invitation such as local CL or even forums.
Like any friendship there has to be a common interest, andIMO, nudism isn't an interest, it's a lifestyle.
If you find the answer please share it.
not sure if I am in a Bible belt here or what...I like to hike, ride bikes, swim, garden, animals, etc...so I have plenty of interest it just like either I am thought of as a perv since I am a single male or just no one local wants to be a nudist....I will travel..not an issue....I wish people would not pre judge others till they get a chance to talk to them....I understand that there are guys on here for one thing but most of them don't even post nude pics.....(thought this was a nudist site) they should be proud of themselves and show it off.
Bible belt only means the liquor store also has a back door entrance.
Making new friends at age 50 has been a problem for my wife and I, finding them that are also nudist drops the prospects to near zero.
I tried to make lunch plans withone couple, but in the end the guy wouldn't even commit to what town he was in.
I did a search here for nudist in my area, turns out to be quite a few but mostly single men. One couple not to far away I friended but can't seem to get a dialog going with him. Sent a few messages but got no replies.
My guess is lots of guys get on here without the wife knowing and have no intentions of introducing nudist stangers to their wives.
I can only guess how that would go.
Honey, Bob is coming over Saturday.
Who's Bob?
This nudist guy I met online.
What! Is he married?
No, but he wants to come hang around our pool nude with us.
Well to be honest I don't even think nudism is 'a lifestyle' as such - it is more like a choice ... "hmmm shall I wear my frock today? Maybe my jeans and a top? Ah no - I'll wear ... nothing ... yayyy!"
I mean, nudists do all the same stuff as non-nudists - just without clothes - that hardly qualifies as a significant behavioural difference to the rest of society. Now Armish, that's a 'lifestyle' - although www.armish.com never really took off as an online community.
Caster1 makes an excellent point and one which I echo on my profile:- "... the simple fact that people share a propensity to disrobe does not automatically give them 'things in common' upon which to base deeper social interaction."
When I meet other nudists whos entire conversation is centered around nudism I start looking around for some wet paint to watch drying as a blessed relief. Same goes for email content - I'm quite happy to try and answer sensible questions but ones that start "Hello, what is nudism like in your country ... " fill me with dread. I am always tempted to just write back "We get naked! The clue is in the word nudism." however I am usually kind and point them at the UK nudist information site with a quick cut n paste.
People make the most ridiculous assumptions when it comes to perceived common interest. I always remember an incident many years ago when I attended a party with a friend called Charles. The hostess swept up to us, I introduced Charles and she immediatly gushed "Oh, you must come with me, I have someone will love to meet you have so much in common" Never having met her before Charles, an Oxford educated Barrister looked surprised and politely said "Really? Someone who adores opera, fine wine and antique collecting?" "Oh I couldn't say about that my dear" responded the hostess "but he's black too." Even Mayfair has rednecks.
Just like anyone else I 'hang' with people I feel an affinity for and share several layers of interests. I cannot ever recall being influenced by the fact they might or might not be nudist. They pretty soon find out that I am and for most part tend to cast off their clothes so as not to feel out of place around me.
Love n stuff

Ahh, If I only had that choice on a regular basis.

I love you solely for what you have written above.
not sure if I am in a Bible belt here or what...I like to hike, ride bikes, swim, garden, animals, etc...so I have plenty of interest it just like either I am thought of as a perv since I am a single male or just no one local wants to be a nudist....I will travel..not an issue....I wish people would not pre judge others till they get a chance to talk to them....I understand that there are guys on here for one thing but most of them don't even post nude pics.....(thought this was a nudist site) they should be proud of themselves and show it off.
Why not contact one of the nonlanded clubs in your area? Have you ever visited Avalon in WV - about 2 hrs, from DC? I am acquainted with several men/women/couples who are members of Potomac Rambling Bares among others.
Rudie...as usual..you are brilliant!
We can honestly say that we have made many friends that we have actually met with here on TN. From the next town over to as far away as California. And many others that we'd love to meet IRL if given the opportunity from all over the world. We've actually met, in person, with over 30 members here. But it didn't happen overnight. It took time. Time to really get to know them,to see if we really had any common interests, to see if we really were "friends". We did this via the forum here, chat, Skype, email, YIM. Have patience. It will happen, but only if you really want to make friends.
