Is my neighbor a nudist, too? - Naked at home - 2014 / 2026

Aug 29, 2016

What is the best way to approach someone to ask if they are a nudist? I have a next door neighbor who has a window facing our house from which I have seen him several times in the early morning (I have to leave at 5am for work) without a shirt, but this seems to be a kitchen window over a sink so I can't see anything else. In fact, the only time I have seen this gentleman dressed is one day when he helped me push my broken down Jeep into our driveway. I suspect he may be a nudist, and if so, I'd like to let him know we are as well and would like to invite him over for a barbecue or something, but given the circumstances, I can't think of a non-creepy way to ask. "Hey, I've seen you at five in the morning several times through your kitchen window. Are you a nudist?" just doesn't sound like a good idea. I don't want to come across as a creep. Also, I don't want to outright say something like "Hey, we're going to be grilling burgers, you want to have some? By the way, we're nudists." because we live in a trailer park without fences. It's a well-kept park, but I fear that the nature of the openness of the park could lead to concern on his part if he, in fact doesn't approve of nudity. Our back yard is still pretty secluded, but if he were to complain to management, we're being nude on THEIR land, and that could get us evicted and even tangled up with the law.

How do approach this delicately and without sounding like a total creep?

Not neighbors, but I have commented to telecommuters that I know that it must be good to be able to work in shorts all summer.
Twice I got the response that the real advantage was to be able to work nude.

I just left a job where I could wear shorts in the office, and now I'm looking for a telecommute job so I don't have to wear anything.

Several people, myself included suggested allowing shorts on Summer Fridays but we were told it would be too distracting.

Many high-tech companies in Austin, Teas are quite unconcerned with dress codes, at least if you don't have a job meeting customers. I was working at HomeAway; one of their unofficial slogans is "I work in flip-flops". They're a vacation rentals company, so a vacation mindset is encouraged.

Unfortunately, no, but I did see one of our customer service reps in a kilt and blousy shirt, died red/purple mohawk, and several visible piercings once. I suggested a clothing optional sundeck for the new building, but I'll bet they don't do it :-). I have worked at several local companies that didn't mind shorts, and I'd now hate to have to go back to wearing long pants at work.

Invite them over for cocktails serve a punch made out of beer, pink lemonade and vodka. Should be a good conversation starter when they ask what it's called.

A friend of mine was parked in front of my house taking a phone call. When she came in she said that the neighbor across the street must be a nudist like me because he was walking around with out clothes on. I should read this thread for advice.
