I feel like leaving this site. People are just so mean.

I don't get it. I am trying to be my usual nice guy self and I am not doing anything pervy and people are mean to me. They criticize me for going through an awkward moment and then they don't want to talk to me anymore. If this is the attitude I am going to get from people on this site, then I have no reason to be here. If you can convince me otherwise to stay, that would really be apppreciated. Thanks.

RE: I feel like leaving this site. People are just so mean.

Wow, I haven't found this to be the case at all. While you may have been a member for awhile, it does seem from the low number of posts that you have not been active on TN. I would suggest joining and being active in groups, being active in the forum so people can get to know you.

Not sure if where the troubles have come, but I know that I've messaged folks in private, chatted with others in the chat rooms and started to develop acquintances that may (hopefully) develop into friendships.

Developing new relationships takes effort & time. I find this to be even more true when the initial thing that brings people into contact is a website - need to work through the process of buidling knowledge, raport and trust with one another.

I'd encourage you to stay around, focus efforts on getting engaged with others here in this community.

Sunbeam just beat me to it while I was drafting this, but I've started so I'll finish :)

Are you serious? ..... What on earth do you expect?

Your profile is ok, but no pics at all, would be a lot better than that black one.
Hint, (we can't see that it's just your eyes, and that's probably just as well)

Your groups are ok too, but only seven posts in nearly two years? How much
time do you spend here?

How do you expect anyone to get to know you enough, to begin to see
what you are like, decide if you are of interest to them, and start to develop
enough trust in you to consider developing a friendship.

I'm guessing that you are a "chatter" and that's fine, but the way to go if you
want to get to know people, is to make a contribution to the forums, let people
see that you DO have an interest in naturism (If you do that is) and get to know
where you stand on various issues. Then they have a chance to identify with
you, see if you have anything in common, and decide if they would like to get
to know you more.

It's not rocket science!

Ooop! ..... That was a bit harsh!

But sometimes, the truth hurts!

Sorry!

The folks I've met here are anything but mean. If you are in chat, there might be reasons. I'm not a "chatter" here. I'd much rather add to discussions in the forums.

Sorry to hear of your disappointment in the site however with the previous replies to your problem there is not much more that I could ad. Get more involved, get a much better picture (that one is creepy LOL), ask more questions in the forums and in the groups you belong too. Let people know who you are and what your interested in. If you don't step out on the stage once in awhile then no one will know your there. Good Luck
