I am confused. I am a guy in my 70's in Western Canada and yet I get friend requests from women in their 30's and 40's. Many looking for a relationship. What gives? Makes no sense, so what is this all about? Someone?
Thanks

    Block / Ignore them as all they want is to fall in love with your Credit Card. Do not entertain them with any attention or replies. Just move on and let be. Hawk

    Same, They often end up asking me for money.

    There are a lot of real people out there, but a lot of fake profiles still also exist on here. The fake profiles always will ask for money, most of the real ones will know not to do that.

    I get them too and I block them.
    What interest does someone from across the world want with me?

    Don't assume they are women, or even fully human. Images, text, even voices, can well be AI-modified or faked.

    I like yourself am in my late 70's. I also state that I am gay and although I acknowledge that as a nudist, I don't necessarily have to have male friends I also acknowledge that as an older person I don't understand what a 20- or 30-year-old female nudist would want to be friends with me other than money.

    My rule of thumb is to ignore any mail from women who are not certified. That weeds out 95% of them.

People here spend a lot of time complaining about this site and fakes, but I get the same stuff on my Facebook and Instagram, even on LinkedIn. Not as much as here, but I'm far more active on this site.

    I get them maybe twice or three time a week and I just decline them. I actually just decline one today. She wrote me a note stating that she is into BDSM and she is 28 yrs. old and uncertified. I don't deal with those shit at all so I just decline them.

    Every website you go that has some sort of nudity in there, you will encounter all this women who are prying the men, especially the older men because honestly, majority of their clients are the lonely old men. Just ignore them if you don't want it. It happens everywhere on every websites. Don't waste your time on them.

    Agree that new joins should have limitations.
    If these are people they are stupid - why would I, a mid 60s gay guy in Australia, have any interest in the more than 70 overseas. women who have friend requested / messaged in the last 3 weeks?
    If they are bots I wish t hey were more intelligent and could read the profile orientation.
    For a while I avoided this website because of this problem, and it looks like Ill start ignoring it again. No way in the world would I ever pay for such a poorly regulated site.

    What to do:

    1. Make photos only for certified users:

    --Allow free users to become certified users

    --Allow paid users to become certified users

    --Block photos from uncertified users, but make anyone be able to do photos once they get certified officially, since you have to be 18+ to really be a user of this site anyway.

    2. Hire more people to MANUALLY REVIEW every single account creations, do not allow people to just create accounts on here!

    --Allow only the people who WORK IN ARIZONA for the PARENT COMPANY OF TRUENUDISTS.COM to WORK AS ADMINISTRATORS on This Website to BE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO EVER GET TO REVIEW EACH AND EVERY ACCOUNT, INCLUDING ACCOUNT DETAILS, To PREVENT MANUALLY WITH MANUAL REVIEW to PREVENT ALL SCAMMERS FROM EVER SIGNING IN IN THE FIRST PLACE!!

    --HIRE MORE PEOPLE AT THE WEBSITE TO Review the BOT ACCOUNT SIGNUP ACCOUNTS MANUALLY TO BLOCK THE BOTS FROM SIGNING UP SUCCESSFULLY!!

    3. RAISE PRICES FOR THE PAYING MEMBERS AFTER DOING number 1 and number 2 on this list.

    --That is the only way to do this, is in that order.

    Oh, and before all that, This Website needs to just clean up their moderation and make clear all terms of service. Make reasonably enforceable some variety of moderation and terms of service enforcement, TO A REASONABLE AMOUNT.

    And advertise this service through AANR and the Naturist Society and the candian naturist organization called the FCN-FQN and the realnaturism.org and nonshy.com AKA NonShy, and the other naturist websites and societies, including the association called the International Naturist Federation or FNI/INF.

    And they need to act fast, and do a total makeover of the website, which needs serious updating.

    Oh, and Try Never to use LLM Generative AI to code, or to fix code, and the NEVER "Do Vibe Coding."

    And fix the servers if you must.

    Please just take care of this site, because the few really good things about this site are a gem, but the new problems just keep making it cause people to lose trust in this website.

    And they will have to admit the problems this site has, the spammers and the scams, and other problems. And the bad moderation too, and the lack of attention to this site and neglect of what potentially could have been a good project.

    Yes, all that is what the website owners of truenudists.com need to do. They need to do it right so this website does not rot. If they can outsource it to an open-source non-profit project that probably could work also, but until they do that they need to clean house, and they might just not do the open-source route.

    With that in mind, they still need to clean up the scams here and not shut it down until the scams can be stopped properly. And the website can work the way it should, before they decide to sell or shut down truenudists.com.

    Almost all the problems are being done in seclusion. They sign up, start sending out private messages and friend requests, but never post or participate in any of the discussions. I, for one, don't think anyone should be allowed to message or send requests unless they've posted on the site at least 20 times. I would even be willing to raise that limit. In fact, most of the people who respond to their messages, or requests don't post on the forum. The majority of them hide in the shadows pursuing possible hook ups or nude pictures. This is supposed to be a place where people can discuss nudity and naturism, and hardly anyone is discussing anything. A hundred people a day will join this site, and we'll be fortunate if two new members a week will join in the conversations. If they're not participating, they only add to the problem. Those people shouldn't be given access to the tools that make them a problem to the rest of us.

Too bad the owners are doing such a bad job listening to us! Of course, people need to post more. Full Stop. They need to be made to post more, and preventing them from posting or sending friend requests before posting 20 or More Posts is a brilliant way to filter some of the scammers. It really is sad how this website is being wasted by its owners! I also would add that better moderation, and the site itself effectively hiring and training the staff at the parent company of truenudists in order to work effectively as both Moderators and Administrators simultaneously, and getting rid of the unpaid and paid non-employee remote work for the so-called ""moderators"" should try be undertaken to block "evil power-tripping mods" that do not even go to work for SocialMedia CO LLC, the parent company of Truenudists, in-person in the northern area of Phoenix Arizona where the Owners Live where their Office for truenudists is located! And the Owners of this website need to rebuild the fight against the scammers and the MALWARE viruses on this website in the first place and the Hacking and the scams on this website in the first place! And the Owners of Truenudists NEED to do the right damn thing! And they need to do the right thing to protect Free Speech Online and to ban unfair practices by moderators and the Administrators and Owners of truenudists.com in the past that are occuring right now in the present day and will continue to go on in the future if they remain unaccountable for these past and present mistakes!! The Owners of Truenudists need to get their act together on Truenudists, and truenudists.com needs so much better from its people working on the website. And no, they should not sell! No! They just need to shut this site down if they cannot do the right damn thing! No! Selling it will not solve all the damn problems, it will just make everything worse! No! In this age of AI, this website would not survive in any recognizable manner that makes sense, should it even survive after being sold! No! This website will not get better if the ownership does not get a grip on their lives and just do the right damn thing! No! They need to avoid using AI, they cannot make this website any better with AI. What matters is they need to solve the original problems at hand we all are mentioning, the lack of engagement, the lack of good community, the scammers, the bad people, the folks being antisocial, the selfish toxic behavior by some users. It all needs to be fixed first, and they NEVER need to Use any LLM AI to solve anything on this website directly! The LLM AI slop will make things way worse! LLM AI in the CLOUD has huge problems: It is Unaccountable, and the code is not FOSS free and open source software, it self-creates, and it is horrible for building working code, and the code is not maintained by humans, and it is not AUDITED PROPERLY BY QUALIFIED HUMANS!! LLM GENERATIVE AI MODELS SUCK! AI SUPERINTELLIGENCE DOES NOT EXIST, ONLY THINGS SLIGHTLY COMING CLOSE TO GENERAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE!! If AI SUPER INTELLIGENCE, LET ALONE GENERAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, CAME INTO EXISTENCE, IT WOULD MEAN THE ROBOTS TAKE OVER AND THE AI-ROBOT VERSUS HUMAN TERMINATOR WAR WOULD TAKE OVER! THAT SLOP IS SO ROTTEN, AND THAT SLOP DOES NOT END WELL!! WE NEED REAL CYBERNETICS EXPERTS RUNNING THIS WEBSITE OR ELSE THIS SITE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN!! THIS SITE IS SUCH A BAD HOTSPOT OF THIS EVIL SCAMMER ECONOMY THAT DOMINATES THE WORLD THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, CYBERNETICS, AND CYBERCRIME AND CYBER-HATE! THIS WEBSITE IS SO BAD AT PROMOTING TOXIC FILTER BUBBLES AND PROMOTES THE WORST TOXIC ONLINE COMMUNITY SPACES!! There are 250 members of the "Nudist Conservatives" and 350 members of the "Nudist Republicans" american nudist groups on truenudists. That is more than some of the people in the other groups. You see some of the worst takes and toxic community opinions on that pair of nudist groups on truenudists! It really shows the state of the website. Again, here me now, quote me later: ""The Owners of this website and anyone working for Truenudists.com and its parent company NEVER need to Use any LLM AI to solve anything on this website directly!

    And this website needs real solutions to solve to end the spam deluge and flood facing this website.

    If they cannot end it properly, nobody else can do it for them, and so, nobody will be able to stop the damn spammers and scammers and malware.

    And if they get a data leak, they need to be transparent about it with us in their ""important emails about site updates"" "in any legally acceptable and legitimate and appropriate manner" to us!

    They need to catch the racketeers!

    If that is the case, then they need to shut it down, but I would prefer they just try for once in their lives to finally catch all the scammers, and ban them!

    For all things good in this world, try to not waste people's friggen money!

    And if they want to make this site free, great, but make sure this site can pay its bills properly, for example to put it into a non-profit organization or a foundation that counts as a 501(c)3, and to make it free to use, and to make sure the foundation can fund itself and pay for itself.

    THAT IS WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN AT A MINIMUM IF THEY WANT TO MAKE IT FREE-OF-CHARGE AND FREE-TO-USE!!

    That is what they need to do, or else they need to be shut down!

    I mean, if they are going to charge money for us to use our own darn profile on this website, at least make all of this social network and website work!!

    Make it free-of-charge and work, or this site needs to be shut down!

    Otherwise, shut it down!

    Oh, and never comply with censorship laws like the dogwater United Kingdom Online Safety Act of 2023!

    Thanks, truenudists!

    I have not encountered any spammers and scammers and malware on Truenudist. I do block new users who friend me and want to meet on other social media sites. The blocking seems to work well. It eliminates endless and useless posts on my Forum page.

    Well good.

    I sincerely hope the leadership of the OWNERS and ADMINS of truenudists can listen to me and others making suggestions to the owners of this website on the other proposals I have given in my posts so they can fix this website.

    I just want the site to work properly and work for the users here and to be a healthy community. I do not want it to be some scam utilized to defraud users, such as the owners allow certain users to defraud users once they have gotten people to go away from this website away from the other websites.

    I just really also really want all the scammers to go away, and for the users of this website to stand up against the scammers.

    I just really also additionally want the scammers, who currently destroying this website's user's incomes and lives, to finally be caught. They need to catch the scammers and thugs, and the military scammers need to be successfully scared away from this website and quit giving the users trauma and violent experiences.

    We need to catch and destroy any people trying to force any men or women or other people into human trafficking!

    No, I do not want people to be prosecuted unjustly for nothing for being in open relationships or multiple relationships! That all should be legal in the United States! None of that has anything to do with human trafficking!

    We need to fire the owners if they cannot finally do the correct and moral thing!
