Private Profiles
I am starting to have mixed feelings about Profiles being listed as "Private," especially new certified members. I can accept people posting pics which are viewable by friends only. However, I do check the main page each day and welcome all the new certified people. The profiles give me an insight into each person's or couple's life and I can then address them appropriately. I am not in the practice of asking people to be my friend but do like to communicate and welcome those that are new. While I have 109 friends listed, I have never asked anyone with the exception of maybe 2 to be my friend. Most of my friends have asked me based on the information posted on my profile. We should be able to trust each other as nudists and allow the community to get to kow us, even if it is just limted information posted.
Just my thoughts. Thanks for reading.

How can I know whether our interests are similar, if there is no information available about them? If the profile is private, then I can't ask them to be my friend? How about other would be friends of the private profile?
As nudists, there is an element of trust, to keep the information confidential.
As for private photos, that's no problem.
With the recent outcry for better privacy protection following the share bar and some picture issues TT1 put in the option to mark your profile private in what I believe was an effort to find some way of pleasing everyone. Well, pleasing everyone certainly isn't possible but at least he's making an effort. So now there's the private profiles. I have a feeling that a lot of the people who use that option may decide at some point to get rid of it when they realize that it limits them a great amount. Then there are the folks who probably enjoy the attention that comes with the steady flow of friend requests by people who just want to see what's behind the closed doors. I know I got way more friend requests after I set my pictures to be viewable by friends only and those where mostly from folks who I had never spoken to. I suppose some people may mark their profiles as private and then loosen up a bit after they have gotten more comfortable here.
Hey Steve,
Even though I have not introduced my self to you , I have to admit that I would love to see the full size photo of the thumbnail (with all the colors ) that adorns your profile. So, that would put me into a precarious position : I would almost like to ask to be your friend just out of curiosity but don't think that my artistic curiosity should be induliged. I read all the thoughtful suggestions that you put on this discussion group. Are you a lawyer ? HA HA
Just Kidding, KEN
Thanks Ken, I'm glad you enjoy my posts and no I'm not a lawyer LOL. I like to try and view subjects from both sides of the discussion before I formulate my response. At least I like to think that I can do that anyway. Doesn't always work out so well and admittedly some of my posts can be a bit over the edge on occasion. The profile pic that I have up at the moment is Homer Simpson in his underware jumping on the couch with the obligatory donuts and beer cans. I suppose I could mark that one viewable LOL. Enjoy
Yeah, it was kind of interesting to me that the people who wanted private profiles the most were the ones who adamantly declare they won't accept friends who don't have a filled out profile! And it's all kind of moot anyway, this is the internet, you don't know who anyone is. I would bet that just about everybody has somebody on their friends list who isn't quite who they say they are. It's the nature of the beast. RELAX! Take a few deep breaths, get naked, and have a good time!
I logged out and googled my profile, and went immediately to my page. However, since I have all photos of my face and body set to be seen by friends and true nudists, only info available was my written info about myself. I felt a lot better about that!
Nothing wrong with making every photo "for friends only". But at least you can see some basic information to help you make an informed choice if you want to add someone as a friend....
That's the way we handle our profile. You can see the basic information and a few photos. We've had "Friend" requests from a number of people that we denied because there is no way to see anything about them on their "Private" profile.
I, like you, won't approve a friend request if there's no information about them. I don't necessarily expect to see nude photos of the potential friend, however, before making a decision. Their participation on the board, attitudes, interests, married, etc are more important to me by a long shot. I prefer to find kindred spirits.
