Hi everyone, these comments are the reason that my wife and I do not post pics on here. We are not the fittest of people and we know that some of the comments would get us pissed. We think that the fact that we do not have pictures on here has limited the amount of interaction we have with other members and taken away from our comfort to meet other nudist.
In many ways TN is no different from an adult hook up site or TrueSwingers. In fact between TrueNudists and TrueSwingers I think the lines are quite blurred. Your original post has been my pet peeve of online dating sites in general for years. I've joined and paid up to be a member only to discover all of my "matches" either have blank profiles, no pictures, or haven't been online in eons. Total. Waste. Of. Money. Even when I did contact someone I was actually interested I would never get a response back. Again. Total. Waste. Of. My. Time.
Not sure that I agree that naturism is 'designed to openly show' anything -- that's exhibitionism. For me naturism is about NOT focusing on breasts and genitals, waistline etc. , but being free and comfortable in a natural state without evaluating someone else's body to comment whether or not they have a nice anything....
I think that you'll find that the type of attitudes and comments being discussed are often closely matched to whether they are the views of people who have experience of social nudism.
I think it is mostly people that are not true nudist or joined strictly to see naked pictures of people without paying for a porn site. These are the same people that would not be nude in public.
Yes there is TS, and from comments on here and elsewhere, I understand anythings goes. Some have stated that those individuals should go there and do their 'stuff' and 'comment' but the true fact is they don't want to and believe it's their 'right' to do it on TN. Look at any cam where an individual is taking "it to another level", and you inform them go to TS, you'll get comment, "you don't have to look". And why don't those making comments move to TS, it's because many that get those comments on here want them and it keeps those individuals making the comments justified to stay on TN instead of been on TS. There is no way that TN can keep those individuals of the site without actually barring their ISP address. I've seen one individual come back at least 10+ times with another ID almost the same as the one they had previously. Only thing best to do is block those individuals from getting to your profile and letting TN deal as best as they can with them.
Does that mean that a lot of the people we talk to are only pretending to be true nudists? I have noticed that the majority of the people who send friend requests are males. I am beginning to think that nudism just a male thing. How do you work out who is genuine and who is trolling?
I dont think there is a way to know for sure but I look at their profile. If they have not posted anything, have hundreds of friends and are members of several groups, then it seems like they are just trolling and want to be friends just so that they can see your Friends Only Photos.
