Male Bonding2

For those who like to explore the concept and dynamics of male bonding. Men are socialized in different ways in different societies, and so many men would like to have close male friendships, yet after spending time establishing a career, primary relationship and live in general, find themselves without close male friends. Many of us want male friends with whom we can share openly without...

Hey guys. I am going to be vulnerable. I was involved in nudism several years ago, but it was a bit difficult for me because I am very shy and didn't have any close friends in the area. I would go to a local resort, but because I am shy, it was still hard to make any friends. Then, because of my work situation, I had to give up on nudism. I am now thinking of getting back into it. All the friends I had moved away, and I am really feeling isolated. I really would like to have some nudist friends. I am in Virginia Beach, and there are no nude-friendly gyms or other places near me (that I know about, at least). Anyway, I am just hoping to make some friend connections here ...

Your vulnerability is a mixed message: come closer and stay away. Your profile is largely blank with no picture. It doesn't make you shy but invisible. You deserve to have contacts and to make friends but don't allow it at the same time. I suggest you celebrate your shyness by offering honest expressions of it, including photos and interests. There are many good and caring people on this website who will respond, and a few others who aren't too, but you can filter them out. By being Mr. Blankman you can only expect blank profiiles to resppond without much foundation to have a dialogue. Keep on taking baby steps! Good luck!

I agree with Stoneandy. To make friends you got to be friendly. A blank profile that the only thing it tells me is that remember the same presidents does not make folks want to reach out. Fill it in , general interests, etc. Share a pic too.

I'm sorry my message was short yesterday, my tablet ate 3 drafts, I had to get to work, and there was a lot going on here.

I too have been quite shy all of my life. I've missed out on a lot because of it, I'm sure. Several years ago I decided to go to the car show at Whitetail, I had a great time and made some great friends that I still see at car shows outside of the resort. The trick for me was making the conscious decision to just do it. If I didn't like it, I didn't have to do it again.

I also gave some thought to my profile pic, wondering what if someone I know sees it? They knew what I looked like before, now they know just a little more what I look like. They have an interest in nudism, or they wouldn't be here to see it. Now having an interest in nudism is just one more thing they know about me.

If you look deeply at my history here, you'll see I joined and remained silent for quite a while too. At first I was making sure it was really for nudists and not just porn in PMs or a hookup site. That didn't take long to see past, the rest of the time was me deciding if I wanted to become part of the community or not. I read what looks interesting, comment if I have something of substance to add, and occasionally post a question here or there. I might not say a lot, but I try to actually say something when I post.

Tell us a little about you, your interests, etc. We're about the same age, I'm sure we share an interest or two. Who knows, maybe one day we can head down to Pea Island or something. If you want to get out, it has to start somewhere.

Actually, I have been trying to fill it in for a few weeks, but it keeps glitching and won't let me save anything. I am still working on it.

Glad to hear you're making an effort with your profile. This platform is likely from the 90s so glitches are to be expected. Good luck!

I just spent about 2 hours and was actually able to get some fields updated!

Seeing your profile reminded me to update mine. I'm older and thinner now!
