  Does Australia have any equivalent to The Naturist Society or the American Association for Nude Recreation? If so, you might be able to promote your club through them. If not, the best you can do is to put notices on the "Groups" section of this web site or some of the other web sites like Earth Naturists or Naturists Corner, and see what happens. Good luck!

  [quote]I can say in my experience it is almost always the married man who is at the nudist venue without his wife that causes the most problems. Not always, but often enough that it sticks out.John aka cobeachbumCare to elaborate? As a married guy I'm not really seeing why my wife not being with me would suddenly make me problematic - it's not like I magically turn into an asshole when my wife isn't around to keep me in check, lol. Only speculation on my part but an asshole is just that whether clothed or nude and if he is true to himself he'll be an asshole whenever his wife is not with him or worse yet, all the time.[/quote] True, an asshole is an asshole, but more often than not the wife keeps them in check, particularly from making inappropriate comments to or ogling women. There is nothing to elaborate, It's just been my experience in over 35 years of attending nudist venues. I will say the problems were usually not at legitimate landed clubs where such crude behavior is quickly rectified, but rather at public venues. John aka cobeachbum

  That's not an accurate comparison. It would be more accurate to ask if I'd be allowed to stay in the restaurant.

  [quote]Its a fact that we do have over 400 friends request pending. We get about three a week they rarely contain a message but I always check the profile. Its almost always sexual in nature, either directly in the info or indirectly by which groups they belong too. You are correct that its vain to think they all want to have sex. Maybe they just want to join our book club. No where in this thread have I indicated that we feel victimised. Its not frustrating either, its just how things work on TN. I feel sorry that the OP has had such a bad experience, but I think hes wrong to blame all couples for his lack of a naturist partner. Something he hopes for on his profile . I wish him the best of luck.[/quote] You have stated more than once in this thread that you have 400 pending requests ! My question to you is; if they are all after you guys for sex, why are you holding onto these 400 request and not just deleting them ? What point are you trying to make here ? Makes no difference if you check their profiles and you find them sexual in nature (wording or otherwise), and whether you realise/believe it or don't, you are basically acting like you guys are the victims of harassment. The choice is simple, get rid of the 400 request and have done with them !! It's really easy when you think about it. "It's just how things work on TN" That's a rather convenient statement to come out with on here, when you have trolled the hell out of others on various threads, I have read and responded to many of your words. Yes, we are all entitled to our opinions, and to voice them back as we see fit. What I have noticed about you guys is that when someone retaliates against you, you take it as a personal afront to yourselves, when actually those of us that come back at you are more often than not defending the OP's post(s). As for single guys on here, there are many of us that are real and true nudists, we put our pictures on here for others to see, tell people about ourselves to see if we have anything in common and with the hope of forming new nudist friendships. Yet, you two have to get your trolling comments in to score points, even if you deny that is what you are doing, it more often than not comes across that way. I will say this, because I can and it is my own opinion. Yes, you two are naturists, but you only have one picture of yourselves on here, one that actually looks provocative, as your mans right hand appears to be caressing your breast, even if that is not the case, it looks suggestive. You are an average looking couple, nothing special, just like most of the people on here are, Average ! We all know that some guys on here are not what they state they are, but that does not make every single man on here the same, nor does anyone else have the right to put or class us the same ! Not everyone is in a relationship or a couple, some of us are in relationships, but are the only one that gets naked and want's to be naked with others to share the experience, not assume Victimisation based on the fact that even if two guys get together to meet and be naked (and I will include sexuality here too), even if one or the other or both are gay, bi or whatever, we are not meeting to see who tries it on first or gets an erection. As for the original OP's personal status as single, but wishing he could meet a nice woman who will share the same values and enjoy nudity, does not make him a pervert, this site if for making friends, but if the chance arises for people to meet and become more, so be it, I welcome that for ANY/ALL of us. You guys need to take a long look at yourselves once in a while and realise that, your words can be hurtful and hateful, intentional or not, it comes down to interpretation of what you have said. You may have been MODS, but that does not make you experts on everything to do with this site or naturism/nudity.

  [quote]Woodsman we dont have any experience of English naturism either, but dont worry about it, its a mistake you Canadians often make.[/quote] Erm... How can to state that you don't have any experience of English naturism, when your from bloody Scotland !!! Which as far as I know, is STILL part of the UK. Your choice of wording/phrasing here is more than a little off "You Canadians", that should just be Canadians. Funny how one wrongly placed word can make something sound so personal "YOU" !!

  You Canadians...
  I find it amusing how Canadians are often mistaken for Americans, Austrians for Germans and Scottish, Welsh and Irish for English, and they all seem to take it in stride with the understanding in many ways they have it better than their "big brothers." Meanwhile in the US, it's hard for us to realize that there is anyone else, and if there is there is, to consider that they don't all want to become us.
  It's nice to put it aside along with the false pretense of textiles and to just enjoy one another's company!

I'd confused it with Lancashire. I bet you get that a lot. FWIW, when I visited Australia about thirty years ago, everybody assumed I was Canadian, because there were plenty of Canadian tourists who visited there, but very few American ones.

  [quote]We have over 400 friends requests pending. They are almost exclusively from single men who either want to have sex with me, Lorna or both of us. We make it clear on our profile that we are genuine naturists and not swingers but they must not have read that. If you are a naturist couple on the internet this is what you have to put up with.[/quote] Then, the question is, why don't you just delete these 400 requests and have done with them ? Or is it some form of Martyrdom that so many people seem to want to have sex with both or either of you !!!

  [quote]We do not blame anyone we expect this on the internet. You are a single man, thats not the fault of naturist couples. In the real textile world do you walk into a restaurant as a single man see 10 couples and demand to be accepted as a friend and sit down next to one couple? Why expect it to be different if they were naked?[/quote] And there you 2 are, justifying yourselves, as though you think you are more important than anyone else on here ! Newsflash.... You are not.

I wish him the best of luck.[/quote] So it's a fact !! My question still stands, why have you not deleted these 400 requests ? You actually stated that they want to have sex with either or both of you, so you are contradicting yourselves there. You state you don't feel victimised, yet you two are one of the quickest to put others down, simply based on a Thread on here, regardless of what that thread is asking or talking about. Please don't try to deny it, because I have come back at you two for your bitchy comments many times on here, when I am defending another persons right to ask a valid question or start a thread. A persons lack of a partner makes no damned difference at all about who they are ! Preconceived ideas of small minds is the problem there. You two think you are clever because you come back at someone in a subtle way, yet the actual words you write mean something very different, it's called Reading Between the Lines, something most of us are very good at doing. You may not say it outright, but you both DO play the victim(s). What you pair don't like is that people will challenge you. Yes, you have an opinion, just like everyone else, but your words are rarely constructive and more often than not are dismissive and bloody ignorant. You are also one of the quickest to put Single guys down on here, assuming they are after one thing from either or both of you. One thing we all are as someone states is, "We are all sexual beings", yet, you think virtually anyone who sends you a message is after sex with you, they might just want to get to know you and become friends in time, but you NEVER give them the chance to find out because you both think you're so precious, whether they are single women or men ! As for you assuming all single men are nothing more than perverts, whether they are straight, bi or gay. A person's sexuality has no F@@KING bearing on the fact they are naturists/nudists, it's just a part of the person as a whole, nothing more. This site is becoming crap at times, because of some peoples ideas of the nudist rulebook, that does not actually exist. All it comes down to is respecting each other, the boundaries of common sense and accepting each other as nudists.

  [quote]The term trolling hits a deep chord in me. My roots are Scandinavian and trolls are part of our folklore, dating back centuries. Real trolls are derived from the spirits of the dead and live isolated under rocks, mountains, or in caves, and are almost always trouble or dangerous for humans. Many are ugly and slow-witted, but they may also first appear to be humans, but reveal their true nature due to being spiteful, greedy and lacking any compassion. Being a nudist around trolls is also most helpful, as it they in turn cant hide their tails and true identity. Like vampires, trolls cant be exposed to sunlight or theyll turn to stone. You deal with trolls not by giving them attention, but trusting your wits. Theres a Norwiegan story about a boy named Ashlad who ends up in an eating contest with a troll. He outsmarts the troll by wearing a backpack on his chest and cutting it open to make room for more food. The troll follows his example, except that he cuts his stomach open and dies. Thus, let the trolls out-troll and destroy themselves.[/quote] How wonderfully put and worded. Perfect.

You are trolling the comments of other genuine people, you think you are such experts on the subject of Naturism/nudity, when you are truly not !I will stand up for anyone on here that has a genuine question to ask, regardless of the subject and whether it's been asked before by someone e lse ! I am sticking up for that persons right to ask whatever damn question they want to, and I WILL call you out on your bitch comments, that are certainly not constructive or helpful.I certainly don't get why you two think your such popular sexual objects to over 400 friend requests (mostly from single guys) ! Perhaps they see something in you Stevie, that you have been trying to hide all your life ? Just saying ..... I think your comment is full of hate and quite immature. Do not demand respect from other users using such a bad manner.[/quote] If your comment is aimed at me RL, then keep it to yourself. I and a lot of others have been on this site for years, we read this dross of theirs all the time. One thing I don't do is Demand Respect from anyone, take me as I am or don't, I don't care. If you think I am being hateful and immature, I'm fine with that, because you don't actually know me or anything about me. I will stand up for anyone on here, if you don't like it, then don't bother reading my words. If you feel that my manner of speaking to certain people on here is bad, then just wait till someone comes at you in exactly the same way, then you will see why I have a go back at someone, mainly because I don't agree with the crap they are spouting in the first place. Take my word for it, someone will take offence at you, your profile, your pictures etc, then you will get why I say what the hell I like as long as I am not threatening to kill, maim or physically hurt someone. You will get trolled on here, then let's see how you deal with it.
