Have you found all nudists are so accepting?
What I have noticed most is the old rule 'YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE", the few times that we have been to a resort the people there have always been accepting and honest. This is not the same with the textile world, Dan here's something you can really understand. In Montana there is a gentleman running for a vacant congressional seat. He is a musician and lives near the Idaho border and on of his gigs is at a nudist resort there. Textiles are wondering what the candidates morals are because he performs there. They want to know whether he performs naked or clothed, and if clothed they still wonder about his so called qualifications to govern. The conundrum for me is in this day and age with information at everyone's fingertips how can anyone be sooooo ignorant to the values of nudists. I have to say that it did take a very short time for me to come to understand the difference between being a nudist and just running around naked. Here on TNI/we have met a number of nudists that have accepted our friend requests and a number of them have not only friended us but have also joined us or invited us to meet personally and all that we have met have been accepting and welcoming. The real amazing part for me is it doesn't matter what political party one belongs to, we seem to have an endearing acceptance of others, and each allow the other their opinion.
The only thing I have found nudists more accepting of is nudism. On every other issue they can be as opinionated as anyone else. Even there, i see plenty of nudists who judge you based on whether you shave your pubic hair or not, or other inanities.

Good point Sara, as I too have pondered why some nudist, who are supposed to be the most body accepting lot of all humankind, obsess about pubic hair, penis length and genital adornments. A new group on this web site seems to pop up everyday featuring mostly male genital topics.
I do have to say, those exceptions aside, I have found that nudist generally are the most laid back and friendlier group of strangers on the beach or pool side. Everybody being naked as the effect of leveling the playing field and offers a common thread among strangers. If you are any kind of polite and well mannered person at all you won't have any trouble walking right into a group of nudist on a beach and joining the conversation. That doesn't always work so well on the textile side of the fence.

interesting points, we have found nudists do not judge on economics, they do not judge on education, nor do they really judge you on weight, height, or body flaws, we have friends who are tall short, thin, heavy, BUT we accepted them as they were, on the other hand, you can sit and listen to conversations in a public location and hear people saying things such as that dress is to tight, those clothes are terrible, what are they thinking to have their hair in that manner, In general everyone looks at everyone, if a couple walks into any venue, people look and observe their attire, often they will form a opinion on those people based strictly on their dress at the time, Nudists look, but do not judge people based on their outfits alone

At the end of the day I generally find most to be accepting. I have other obstacles to overcome before being accepted. The issues that I deal with have nothing to do with weight, looks, adornments or decorations. That I know of anyway. I am an average Joe. 5'11", 180-185lbs, brown hair (with a little grey creeping in) and brown eyes. I do keep myself clean shaven. I fully understand the apprehension. I am a single male. In nudist venues I am that much more carefull of my own actions. I like to be social nothing more. I try to gain the trust of anyone that I talk to. Sometimes I am more successful than others at putting people at ease. I read body language pretty well. Ultimately. I am there to unwind so I move away from people that appear uneasy. I have made a few friends at 40 acres and that has helped a lot. Still there will always be some that are unsure even unaccepting of my presence. I can accept that.
After reading this post I became more conscious of the comments that I overheard around me. Most of the criticisms were about not the right color, not the right fit or out of style. I believe all of them were made by women about women. They are ruthless. When I heard the comment I then could see what they were talking about. Mostly the fit issue. Fitting women's clothes most be maddening. More curves to worry about and those curves are generally softer too. If a seam hits the wrong place or is slightly too tight in the wrong place those poor ladies get all misshapen. Then they try to truss up those curves to fit the clothes they wear. Good grief our way is so much easier. Always the right color. Always the right fit. No bulges or bumps in the wrong place. We all look good in the skin we're in. Nothing to criticize left.
WE have met you, spoken to you and accept you. WE are very nice accepting people, if people act right, we treat them right, its all about actions, SINGLE men do get a bad rap, no doubt, but we know you and you are always welcome

TandD, I think you are right in that nudists accept people as they are and understand that most nudists want to be accepted that way. I don't ever remember hearing a conversation that involved politics, etc., while at a nude venue. It seems that we are all enjoying the feel of the sun, breeze, and nude companionship to be concerned about such silly stuff.
we feel that if people are kind, friendly, and act in a acceptable manner, we just want to be their friends, we dont care what your views are, not going to ask, just act right, have a good time, and keep your serious opinions for the correct time, as we will too
