ya really are still kind of a closet nudist, even here... consider opening up your profile a bit, rather than leaving it "for friends only." You do NOT have to put up a naked photo!! Consider a face photo for your profile photo, or if you're afraid of that, then a photo of anything - other than a person - that's of interest to you. Let folks know, in your info, more or less what part of the world / country you're in and a bit about you.
If you feel you must keep a friends-only profile, then you're limited to messaging people to solicit their friendship. Don't just click "add as friend" - SAY something to the person about what you might have in common or what interests you about them.
Search for profiles of people fairly near you, and check out the places - resorts and beaches - they list; ask them about those places.
Welcome to the site and I hope you get a lot out of it. By being on this site, we are all saying that we are nudists. Even though there are certain things that we must keep private, we need to be as open as possible in order to establish meaningful relationships. It is not necessary to post a picture or say exactly where you are from, especially if you're from a very small town, butyou must be honest in the things that you do post.
Tell us a little about yourself. What are your likes and dislikes? What turns you on in music, movies, politics, etc.? If you can talk about your work, great, if not, that's OK too. Remember, if want honesty from people, you have to be honest with them.
