Having been verbally assaulted recently for having not been certified, a rather sketchy profile, and no pictures; I would like to say that there are things about myself that I would never post on the Internet. I am not here to make friends. I am not interested in a no lines tan, and I do not feel the need to be nude in a social setting. I am here to learn what other nudists think and do, and occasionally respond to other posts. Therefore, what I have already given in my profile is a bit more than I am comfortable with. If I ever get the opportunity to attend a nudist resort or visit a nude beach, not sure why we refer to it as such since the beach is not nude, I may post how I feel about the experience.
Well if you put up a profile photo just showing your nude back view with a large rimmed hat on nobody will be able to tell who you are unless you have a distinct marking such as a tattoo and have other normal nudist photos for friends only this will get you out of the problems of been recognised on this site. Also if you fill in your profile with the 1st January of the year of berth people won't be able to work out so easy by your age changing on your birthday.
There are loads of reaspns for not having pics up. One is sensitivity about jobs or social connections.
This site is also wide open and I have seen pictures from here reposted elsewhere. I am happy enough to Skype once I have exchanged messages and before meets. What I am not prepared to do is display myself to all who want to have a quick look. I might get round to posting a few anonymised shots or I may not.
So it's personal thing. If you don't like it move along.
I know I'm late to this thread and I'm not aprogrammer, but is it possible to create different categories ofprofiles such that a user gets access only to other profiles iftheir profile is filled in, pics if he/she has posted pics andnudes if he/she has posted nudes? All users then would have accessto forums and groups. That way you are only "exposed" to others whohave "exposed" themselves similarly. Anyone could still friendanyone else and, therefore, choose to "expose" himself/herself towhomever they choose.
I'm a member of French-language site that categorizes photos in
this way; if you have not posted nude photos, you see only heavily
pixilated versions of other members' nude photos. Nearly everyone
on the site has posted nude photos. The site also gives you feedback about how complete your profile is. But it has many fewer members,
and nearly all are men - the looseness of this site may provide
space for a wider variety of members, at least some of whom are
perfectly nice people.
