People at nudist resorts not being naked

My wife and I went to a local resort over the weekend and noticed a lot of the people there are staying dressed. In going to these places we spend a premium to be naked but feel uncomfortable being the only naked people in attendance. Even at the Saturday night dance which was supposed to be a pre- New Years dance.. not one person there was naked. Everyone was fully dressed and there must of been at least 75 people in the place.
As a matter of fact my wife and I stayed dressed for most of the evening until i basically said to myself tha tsomeone has to start it. After I made the first move there were about 3 or 4 people who joined in but for the most part it was an uncomfortable feeling being the few naked people in a resort that's existence is based on people enjoying nude time together.
I certainly don't blame the resort as they promoted nudism to everyone but they, of course cannot force it. Altho it is forced in the pool and hot tub areas and I really don't think it should be enforced everywhere but I find it amazing that people pay the prices there to be naked yet when someone does get naked they feel uncomfortable around a crowd of people where everyone is dressed.
So, I was wondering thoughts about why people pay a premium to attend a nudist resort yet remain dressed the entire time.

Why do people go to a nudist site and post a picture of themselves fully dressed?

The whole idea of going to a nudist resort is to be nude. If you're not going to be nude, why bother going? One time at a resort the weather changed and it got so cold and windy that I had to put my clothes on. With this being the case, I went home.

I actually wish more resorts and campgrounds allowed clothing optional in more areas. my wife is not a nudist but I am. There are very few places we can both enjoy. she enjoys the pool more 5 Han I but is restricted from indulging because she can't leave a suit on at most facilities.

Dan/Janette is not a nudist, just enjoys looking at them.

The thing that bothers me most about people being dressed at a nudist resort is when the resort owners are never nude. These people are making their living by promoting the nudist life style but don't think that it applies to them. When I go into the resort office I expect to be greeted by someone who is nude, or in the case of a woman, topless at least. Am I wrong in thinking this way?

The workers in the front office greet the mail MAN, the UPS MAN, the FedEx MAN, the telephone repairMAN, etcMAN, and every pervert that wanders in.

Often the UPS, FedEx, cable guys and others are directed to the residences of the permanent residents. I still believe that if someone is promoting nudism, they should be nude at the resort. It's like going to a Ford dealership and the salesman is driving a Chevy. It's not going to happen. He'll be driving a Ford.

Before you criticize get behind the desk and greet the public..

Certainly you wouldn't go to a nudist resort (or even a CO beach) unless you expected to be naked some of the time. I would be wrong to go a nudist place with no intention of ever going nude. Where there are couples or groups of friends some of them may not be ready to go bare but do not want to be split from their friends/partners who are happy to bare all; as long as nobody cares it really doesn't matter.
I've never been to a nudist resort but I have been to countless CO beaches and noticed that some people simply sunbathe or swim nude where as others will happily walk along the beach or even go the beach snack bar in the buff. It's all down to your personal comfort zone.
