how to get my girlfriend interested?

So what's the problem? Old people, young people, they are all nude. What about the nudity itself? Is she comfortable with that? Just a guess she is using the "old people" as and excuse. Let us know how things turn out.:smoking:

it seems that she does not have an understanding of what naturism is about.

I disagree. If she wants to socialize she quite rightly wants to socialize with people her own age. A lot of clubs have an aging membership. Perhaps you can find a young naturists group to join. There are some on the net.

Interesting.

I agree, erc, a lack of understanding what naturism is about may be the real reason here.

Not all beaches have "old" people (whatever old means). There are a lot of "young" people at nude beaches. If the beaches you have been to seem to have "old" people then go to another one, try out some resorts near you, or start your own group of "young" naturists and go to the beach.

Frankly, imo, this initial posting is a sarcastic jab at nudists in general.

Hmm, well the ones I have been too have a pretty good mix. These were in SoCal. Are there older people there too yes but it is just like going to any other venue you get all types. But I do think the population at the resorts are definatly older 35-55 range mostly.

For special occaisions there have been more young people there such as a bare buns fun run or a music festival etc.

I would just ask her to go and maybe promise to take her out to dinner afterwards or give her the option to choose the next type of outing you guys go on.

LOL, dang old people, screwing things up everywhere. You might want to consider your relationship with her--are there any other demographic groups she's uncomfortable being around?

One wonders what lies behind her excuse? How old is she, because our beach experience has almost always been that the beach there was a composite of many demographics--young, not so young, and older.

I've never been to a beach where there, at some time or another, wasn't a volley ball game, football being tossed around, boogie boards, and families with youngsters gathering together--as well as those dang "old people" cluttering things up sitting around reading or chatting.

The point that she does not grasp the point of nudism is a good point heh-heh. Either that, or the "old people" thing was the first excuse she could come up with and if you took that away, she'd find some other complaint.

Does she engage in or enjoy social or recreational nudism when the only people around are your own age?

Also, there is an element of truth that nudists at resorts and beaches probably do tilt away from the late teens, 20s demographics toward more maturity. I'd encourage you and your girlfriend to "recruit" a small group around your ages to go together, so that she would feel that she "fit in".

If she's still not ammenable, you may have to give up the notion of getting her involved.

I have to agree with Kirk here. Some people find it easier to do something with people they have similar interests with. A lot of times that means age groups. Some people are just more comfortable with this, and we shouldn't say they are wrong for their feelings. Specially if the OP and his GF are new to nudism.

Hopefully the OP can find some people their own age to go with. Maybe once they get comfortable doing this they'll be ok with other people.

Sounds like a great opportunity to round up some friends, explain the problem, and solve it by all going down to the beach and overwelm those Old People with some new youthful energy! :dance::cheering::vacation:

I was in a similar predicament as yourself. My then-girlfriend and I moved 750 miles from home and got an apartment together (2 bedroom). After taking a shower I would not get dressed. She would pester me jokingly to get dressed and ask why I was always naked. Then after coming home from work I would undress and it did not take long for her to realize I enjoy going nude. Now, she doesn't even bat an eye and has even once asked me why I was clothed. She and I read books out on the patio today with me nude and her clothed.

Just take baby steps at home, then take her to a resort (on a busy day) or to a beach with friends.
