People say that want to meet others, but do they really?

I am very active in a non-landed club in Arizona and am on the Board of Directors. Ihave often invited "Friends" I've met onTrue Nudists to some of our Club's functions. This is just so people can check us out and see if they'd eventually like to join our group. The results of my efforts have been under whelming, to say the least. In over 3 years of inviting people who say their goal is to meet other nudists, I have had only one solid success to show for my efforts. One other couple came to a pool party and seemed to like everything. They joined up and that's the last we saw of them. One woman who came to a party seemed to have a great time and even wrote of her experiences in TN. That's the last we ever heard from her.
It leaves me questioning peoples' honesty or commitment when they post that they want to meet other people. Do they really? I've sent emails back and forth with these individuals and they are always positive, but they never show up.
Can someone venture a guess of why people are like that? They have our web site to check out. I give them the number of our membership chair, who happens to be female, to call for info, but making a commitment is too much for them.
Suggestions and/or comments will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, DesertRat.

Well Dessie, the only conclusion one can draw from this is , majority of people who say they are nudists, are not. I suppose a few of the genuine onescould be a little shy and just need some time and perhaps encouragement from the more experienced nudists, in order to reassure them. In my opinion, less than 1 % of people on most nudist sights are NOT genuine.

I think I would have to agree with ManOfWicklow. Or these people are home nudists and can't get the curage up to go maybe? For the couple that came and signed up but never came back...I suspect you'll see them again. There could be many reasons for that. Myself for example, I went to my first resort last summer, loved it, but for one reason or another haven't been able to go back yet. But I fully intend to. They might to. Just my thoughts :)You might meet them in a neutral location for a cup of coffee or cola before they attend an event so they can get to know you and you them before attending an event. I do this with all prospective members of Travelites.

In all honesty though, meeting in coffee shops is not really my goal in nude recreation. I just want to be with my friends in a social nudist situation. I invite people because I findour get togethers soenjoyable thatI want to makethem available to as many nudists as possible. This is pure altruism because, other than meeting new friends and having fun,I don't personally gain anything by their attendance.
