  No, you're not the only one noticing it. Certification is one way to address the problem; the proportion of young women with certified profiles is sharply lower than the proportions of older women, or of younger or older men - a good indication that a lot of those profiles are fake. Since the profile you cite has "friends-only" photos, there's no way to check to see if the photos are stolen without friending the person, but that often proves to be the case with this type of profile. Hey, it's the Internet... there are certainly lots of true nudists on the site with whom you can build community. You can also make a minor hobby of calling out fakes - flag stolen or inappropriate photos, inappropriate comments, etc. - if you like.

  Some people just like to collect "Friends". There is no real inter-action between these so called friends; they are just trophies to add to their friends list.
  
  I receive my share of friends requests from people who have nothing in common with me other than we're on the same website. When I check their friends list and find hundreds of "Friends", I figure it would be rather meaningless to add my name to their list so I deny their request.

  I just want to get more info from individuals living the lifestyle. Viewpoints etc. I am interested in the lifestyle so I am here to learn. I guess I will need to post my pic and info so I can be a verified user as to not get confused with the weirdos. I do feel that there are people here for other agendas which makes it difficult to except their requests.

  If someone isn't local, then hopefully we belong to one of the same groups on TN, at least we have something in common.  I will send an email to someone if I am looking at pics and I think the pic is nice or interesting, but that doesn't always go with a friend request.

  Certified is the only to go.  i believe that non certified members should very very limited access to places on this site.

  There was a profile on this page called tryus, they collected quite a few friends and supposedly moved to my home town.
  I made contact with the person behind the profile whilst I was overseas, and msged them I would be back in Town this week and got a reply "great".
  Now I cannot see any trace of them.
  Anybody know what happened to that ID

  [/quote]Certification is not proof of being a nudist/naturist.
  Certification is only proof that someone made up a name,
  wrote the name on a piece of paper and
  took a picture of someone holding that piece of paper.

  I'll friend someone in my general area that I might actually get to meat or maybe someone that makes an interesting post that I want to discuss but other than that it is ridiculous to wade through that much garbage.

  The majority of profiles, mine included, are truthful but scant on detail.  On rare occasions you do get PM's from "unlikely" sources which may land in the spam section of your emails.  These are best ignored and generally do not get repeated.  If like me you are not interested in personal contact but simply in sharing views and opinions then a scant profile is all that is needed.  I rarely reply to PM's even if they seem appropriate.; if a point cannot be made in the open forum it is usually best avoided.

  Fake profiles are rarely, if ever, removed by the administration on here. I've reported fake profiles and included the link to the site where the member stole the picture from and nothing was done. They obviously don't care about weeding out any fakes, even when you provide proof that someone stole their picture.

  I find the more time I spend in the chat room the more friend requests I get. It is nice when they are located close to me. I have even met some local at nearby nudist camp. Sadly most people are here are not near me. It is nice when members re certified. The most important factor for me is the persons info and the groups they have joined. You can get a good idea about what they are here for by the groups they join. There are exceptions just as anything in life.

  I had this too!    Is this person really a female, or a male just to get some personal jollies?

  You are not the only one, we've only been on the site a few weeks, and she(?) sent us a friends request too
  In fact we've had requests from all over the world, don't know if we should feel flattered for the warm welcome.
  Our profile states that we won't accept random friends requests, so some people aren't even bothering to read it before sending out requests.

  And seconds after leaving the previous post, two more friends requests from random people.
  We are a very friendly couple, but we never accept a request from someone with whom we've had no previous contact.
