Just an Observation.

I hope to slowly introduce, and comfort to my sweetheart into the nude lifestyle, but I have noticed that in the "Ladies Only" room there seems 9 out of 10 posters and thread starters are men. I go to the Mens room thinking it may be turned around again but nope, no sale... it's 10 out of 10 men!It seems kind of redundant and disrespectful to me. Now I am try to figure out where I am going to show her the level of respect for ladies that is normally in this lifestyle. she won't register herself unless she feel it is worth it and getting her to look around on my account is hard enough.. If she sees the majority of men on there she won't even try to communicate or ask any questions for only women to answer expecting only men to reply..

Greetings Winded_Tolerance,
There are many very fine women on this site although we are in the minority. Seek us out and we will answer any questions. There is Cheri_Donna, JackieinOz and myself. There are many, many more, but these are quickly off the top of my head. Her questions do not need to be asked in a public forum, they can messaged.
If she feels harassed, there are remedies that can be taken.
One good place to start for your girlfriend might be the site AANR.com, in particular this link to a nudist woman's perspective.
https://www.aanr.com/from-a-womans-perspective
There is also The Naturist Society at https://www.naturistsociety.com/.
These will provide you and her a great perspective on the topic.
Please keep in mind this is a website; we have people from all walks of life and mentalities and some are not so positive, just like the real world whether nudist, textile, etc. However, no website is a reflection of the real world of nudism
aturism.
Hope this helped a little!

Thank you for the reply, I have yet to get to know really anybody in the lifestyle and would like to get to know some others and build up a few friendships of others that I can go to and ask some non public questions and som public. I am a firm believer in asking for permission for pretty much anything that involves affecting anyone else, and in respect ask for your permission to add you to friends and I want to build friendships and bonds as a kind of network of people that I can go to and ask questions such as these and just plain socialization. Anyone who wants to add me to their friends I ask that they include a message with their requests so I can get somewhat of an idea of thier intentions (I know some people may lie about true intentions) but for me it's a respect/disrespect thing..

RE: Just an Observation.

Thank you all so much for the advice and pointers, we have a small backyard but it is on a corner lot and our Mormon landlord lives in a smaller converted garage out back so he can rent the house for additional income. I don't think that would go over well :P we have no choice but to go to a resort if we want to be outside..
I am showing her this thread and letting her read the replies so maybe she will be a little more apt to give it some more consideration, She has the common misconception of nudity being purely sexual so I have requested friendships with a lot of couples and women on here so she can ask the female perspective on it and hopefully be more comforted with it.
I have told her that clothing to me feels like a restrictive strait-jacket and I really do feel like I'm being suffocated in textiles after getting used to being nude...

I did reply to a post in the Ladies room.. I think it was my first visit to TN after membership and got lost in all the different areas and a topic must have got me intrigued ... so I responded, more out of emotion. I wonder how many newbies just wandered in as I did without really knowing where they were in the forum pages.. Anyways, I feel comfortable telling women about my issues and havent had any bad reviews when I posted in there. I do apologize and didnt mean to intrude on the ladies...

Don't worry about it, there's no need to apologize. There are many threads there started by men asking what seems to me as redundant questions fueled by a sexual foundation...
On another note.. she looked over this thread last night as well as Cheri's brochure and still told me " There's no way I will,... have fun going out by yourself." Hopefully one of therse days her curiosity will get the best of her and she will give it some more thought after seeing me go out to resorts and coming back with good stories and experiences.. One can only hope.

Just be patient. Don't push and keep the dialogue open. It might not ever change but I have know women who ran quickly from the concept and yet now fully embrace it. What made the change? The patience of their other half.

A blind man can clearly see into the heart of a person that is hiding inside an eye catching facade.
