This is a problem with most naturst sites, I have been branded as everything from perv to dirty old man jsut because I enjoy being a naturist and getting my clothes off, and the other thing I have to put up with is the remarks made about being a married male but single when it becomes naturist, I am one of those many who have a interest in naturism but alone when the partner does not have an interest at all but is ok with the other being a naturist as long as they don't include thier partner in with them. so I for one will be a male asking to be friends ot be adde to a friends list.
That is one of the strange "facts" of life unfortunately, people see a single man or a group of them going out for a drink or to a sports match and think nothing of it. But in an environment where the general hang-ups of society (what hairstyle, clothes, trainers you have) are un important. You are suddenly ostracised for a reason that in the other world would not matter. Sad really - but without eradicating all the pervs there is not much we can do about it. All I can say is that looking at the profiles it is only the minority of folks who discriminate in this way.
I don't know if it was pulled but someone posted a thread saying that he was thinking of putting in his profile "no single women thanks" or some such wording. I am sure it was meant as a humourours comment but he got slammed.
i understand your frustration but its like any area in life theres good guys and theres bad guys at the nude beach theres always the 'pervs' that come along and in a nudist chat room there will always be the 'pervs' that come along i dont think you will ever get away from them as a true nudist so best to learn to live with them dont let them freak you out you have the right to say no to friend requests so enjoy being a nudist and dont let the 'pervs' ruin it for you is my advice
stay bare
It's simple statistics. 88% of TN members are "Male" wheras only 7% are "Femail" and 5% are couples. So, as there are seven "males" for every other member there are bound to be more requests for them. Just because the are shown as "Male doue not mean they are single men. Many are married. I've even noticed some whos wives are also TN - but I guess many wives may not be nudists or may not want to join the site.
thanks am just a old man that likes to chat with ladys
Firstly, you really need to allow "ladies" (note the correct spelling) to view your profile to see if they would like to be friends with you. Those whose profile isn't avaiable, I wouldn't allow to be friends here.
This thread can be again summed up to a code of conduct which most people who TrueNudists should follow:
1. Write enough information of yourself in your profile.
2. Keep your profile open to everyone (text part and at least SOME pics, textile if you wish so)
3. Get certified
4. Write an occasional contribution to Forum, this in order to establish your broader views/opinions to various issues (a search possibility for individual profile's forum contributions would be a great additional feature on the site).
5. If you send a friends'hip request to someone, do accompany a message WHY you should be friends (common interests, geographical proximity, same haircut, shoesize or whatever) as well as in which way you would like to communicate (in TN chat, through Messages in TN or through some outside facility like E-mail, Yahoo/MSN/AOL Messenger, Skype, telephone, smoke signals or morse code).
6. DO NOT ASSUME that if you think someone would be cool to have as a friend, the other person(s) have same perception unless you tell them your view. Even then, as people are different, do respect their choice and do not push them to ask reasons for declining to communicate with you further.
If following above mentioned steps, a single male (and any other true nudist) very much increases positive responses and constructive communication in general on this site.
