I'm a 44 year old married male. I wouldn't consider myself a true nudist, though I love to be nude whenever possible at home. My wife is more comfortable in clothes and though in the past Ive tried going casually nude around her, Id find myself feeling awkward being nude while she was not. I have always been extremely self conscious about my body and am working to be more confident in myself. I would love to one day go to a beach or resort and be able to feel comfortable and confident in myself with others.

When I first signed up I was under the impression that this was really a social networking site for those interested in nudism. Now that I'm here I see that while there are some who share that opinion, there are many who are view this as a dating/hookup app. I am really not looking for that, I am married and not intending to cheat on my wife. Id just like to find others to chat with and potentially become friends with. Either strictly in the virtual realm or maybe one day in person. Especially in these pandemic days, just having an outlet to talk to others in important. I will not accept a friend request without at least exchanging a few messages. I'm here to actually talk with people and get to know them, and not interested in simply having a huge friend count. So if you actually want to be a friend, you have to at least say hi first.

I haven't been running as much lately, but would like to get back into it more. Have done multiple half marathons before but lucky to complete a 5k without a little walk right now. While I'm a casual follower of all sports, I enjoy both playing and watching hockey. I'm not terribly good at it, but where there's not a global pandemic happening I try to get on the ice as much as possible. Lately my biggest method of relaxation has been sitting on my back patio reading a book and enjoying a cigar. I have played drums in bands (that ranged in quality from bad to not entirely bad) over the years and trying to use the recent downtime to improve my guitar playing. Something I probably should have put more effort into 20 years ago.

I was a big ska/punk kid in the late 90s. Although Ive branched out a little bit in the ensuing decades I still mainly listen to the same things I did in my 20s. A lot of punk, indie and alt country.

Ill just throw a few out there: Rushmore, There Will Be Blood, Brick, Reservoir Dogs, and of course, Die Hard.

Scott Hutchison. He may have succumbed to his demons, but his struggles to survive until that day were downright heroic to me.
