Understanding this site.
Hi all,
Im new to this site and just keep scratching my head on certain topics. Im hoping that people here can help me understand these items better.
1. In the gallery why are there so many pictures from dueled user. If they were deleted should the photos not be deleted as well.
2. Why does it seem that a lot of users are not certified. Its easy to do and so I dont understand this.
3. What is the best way to find friends here. Does the average person use search, chat, forums, groups. Not sure if there is a preferred method to find someone with comman interest and request friend status.
Thanks in advance for any answers you share, I appreciate it.....
You ask some good questions but you need to start with yourself. You are correct, many on here do not get certified and as pointed out by another individual, fake accounts are common thing (and that goes for any social site/app). Too many individuals want to be something they can't be for various reasons so they create a profile to fit that but can't do it with pictures of themselves. Regarding yourself, making your profile private does not help meeting others. If it's because you don't want others to find you on here, that is a good concern. But, take a minute to think about it. How many web sites are there, then how many individual profiles are on this site? Then how many individual profiles are there for your area? Now what are the odds that someone will find you on here taking in to account all the previous questions? If someone is on here, first they have to find the website, then create an account, then search for you... if they find you they better buy a lotto ticket! You can make your profile open to all but then set your pics for friends or just open one or two to general viewing. Having a brief narrative helps, you put as mush or as little as you want, it's up to you. I've seen plenty of profiles that they state "ask if you want to know more". You don't need to be ashamed of your nudity if it is for nudity you are on here. If you worried about religious friends finding you, well it wasn't till Eve gave the apple that Adam ate that we were ashamed of our bodies, till then we were nude as it was GOD's plan for us to be nude, we ruined it (and I've used that reasoning with religious folks and they don't have a come back). What we choose to do with our nudism is where individuals get into trouble. Regarding same picture from duel users, I can't think of any I've seen but then again I don't look for that. As stated, if you don't delete your account, pics will stay there for ever, the site don't delete non active accounts. So it maybe that an individual forgot their ID/password and choose to make a new one. I find individuals from looking at group posts, if their comment sounds like what I think, I'll look at individual's profile. Same goes for when I'm in chat. If you're one that wants to look at cams to see 'what they look like'...that's a good way to find someone. If you cam, then others look at you. The more you put yourself out there, the more chances are that individuals will find you. But the key is your profile. I've read many profiles that state, you have blank profile, have no pics, have no nude pics, have no face pic, have no full frontal pic, have private profile, then don't contact them. There are those on here that have 'set rules' of what type of individuals can contact them. We choose who we want to have as friends, and we don't have to be all alike. That is the beauty of this site, for those that are naturalist, they accept individuals for who they are and enjoy their nudism. Now..go find a nude friend!
If you want to meet people you need an open and informative profile. I can't manage the chat room and make contact mainly through the groups. That way I can chose groups/ meet people with the same interests as myself. I got a lot of encouragement from TN groups when I joined a bit over 10 years ago. Within months I went on my very first nudist holiday - to a guesthouse run by someone I met here on TN. I've made real, face to face, friends through contacts on TN and through the many subsequent nude holidays. The experience is awesome and varied. I have never looked back.
I have just a few suggestions: (1) enjoy the site for what it is; (2) let everyone know who you are ( a full, open profile with photos) and (3) don't get hung up on fakes - they exist but there are many more real nudists here.
