Photo or no photo, that's not the point. The one thing that we live by as nudists in not to judge anyone by the way they look. Keep your picutes private if you like, but atleast have some basic information about yourself, your location and who you want to meet.
We honstly could care less if we see your picture or not when we grant a "friend request".

Yep!
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.
Yep! That's it! How can you request to be someone's "friend" if there is no info available to base compatability on? Profile info is a great conversation starter, frankly the only real conversation starter...

Okay, maybe you've got the google thing to worry about, although really, what are the odds of someone you know googling your member name? When was the last time someone decided to google "dancingnakeddj" or "fatnudist" or "cuddlebutton"? The odds are pretty astronomical unless you use your real name for your ID. There's probably more chance that someone you know would sign up on this sight to see what all the nudists do and bust you that way. If I had a job that I could lose by being on this site, I wouldn't be on here, there's no real privacy on the internet.
A new issue with private profiles that I've run across. In the groups that I moderate here one of the rules is that prospective members must have at least some information about themselves in their profiles. So now I have people applying for membership with their profiles marked as private. The reason I set that rule was to try an weed out the lurkers and what not. Private profiles kind of make that job a bit harder.

Well that's ok Steve, just add to the rule that they must open their profile, until they are accepted or denied. simple :)

We have to say AMEN MY BROTHER.... "When was the last time someone decided to google "dancingnakeddj" or "fatnudist" or "cuddlebutton"? The odds are pretty astronomical unless you use your real name for your ID." WHAT ARE THE ODDS?
The most important thing to remember is "there's no real privacy on the internet.".. We could not have said it better ourselves.
I once found that with my user name of "catbird" Google can indeed turn up my profile; however it is way down at page 44. "Catbird" is of more interest to naturalists, not naturists. I also found that my photos are not accessible, except the profile photo.
For curiosity I also googled my real name. That didn't turn up my profile, at all. That did turn up other things about me, but nothing relevant to nudism. That did turn up a web site that I created for an entirely different purpose (Christianity).

Lol, it was probably not the smartest thing I've done, but I have used the same id on other (non-nude) sites, so there is a possibility that someone might google it. I think maybe I need to use other names when I join other sites. Oh, and when I googled the profile name, it showed up on page one.
In a perfect world, we all could be just be open and not have to worry about anyone taking advantage of us, but "let's be real", there are way too many jerks and deviants. I'veactually quitsearching profiles for friends quite some time ago. To me, what's the use. That may (if they filled it out) tell you a little bit about the person/people, but not who they are. Through reading posts, and talking in chat, I can get a better idea of who I get along with. Keeping the profiles private, is to protect against lurkers, but I'm in agreement with many others. Keep your pics private, but at least give people something to read, if you want friends that is.
In total agreement with this statement.
