I just wanted to re-start the thread on a singles forum. I tottaly agree there should be a new forum made just for singles. That way everyone who posts in the various different places they are looking for someone will have a place to post. I think it would save people time, space, and aggrevation. I know there are singles sites for nudists but no matter how many times you say it people will still post here they are looking for someone. I would love to hear what the adminsistrators think!

Being single myself I would totally agree that some sort of integration to allow singles more contact with others social naturism who are members of a respectable club or organization.
I have reasonably created a topic in the miscellaneous in witch I have brought up the topic of a better integration of allowing single, especially men like myself to enjoy social naturism with other naturist.
With in this topic I have pointed out that my feelings and possibly frustrations that because of my sex and maturity that I would very unlikely be able to be with people with the same interests as myself.
There was one thing I lack to mention on there although I did state that I for reasons witch I totally agree with that all single weather it ladies or men should be supervised for a period set time or put on probation,but to label all single men (that what I see or feel that people within the community see) to be potentially have perverted reasons to want to naked around people like them selves and to enjoy it do theses rules also are for single ladies do they get refused membership like the Men?
Where I find it a bit discredited where you have to have or be in a relationship or to have a family to enjoy with others their freedom of being a naturist.
PLEASE READ MY TOPIC ON THIS SUBJECT IN THE MISSULANIOUS OF THE I.N.A FORUMS AND GIVE YOUR COMMENTSComment

Why should it be just the singles that are watched? The married guys and couples are just as likely if not more so to behave in a bad way.
I think everyone should be watched initially. Just makes good sense.Comment

I've wondered and said the very same thing many times, Cyndiann. Too many married people assume that single people cannot be trusted and have to be watched or refused admittance. However, I beleive it's a fact that many child molesters are married, and many men who sexually harass women are married. Some child molesters are women. Why can't everyone be given the chance to prove themselves. If I owned a nudist resort, everyone would be welcome. There would be zero tolerance for illegal drugs and all public sexual behavior.Comment

Well I do own an unlanded club and we don't discriminate against anyone.
The only men I've personally had problems with were all married or otherwise attached.Comment

Well of course they should be allowed to post that they are looking. On one hand we have the clubs telling us to find someone to bring and on the other when we do thing to look for someone then somebody doesn't like it. How are we to find people if it upsets people that we make our search known?

Some of us who have been on this forum for a while have to laugh at singles ads placed here. Things could change, but so far, the vast majority here are men, quite a few of whom are homosexual. Not exactly the best fishing grounds for the "Love Connection".
Jon-Marc, in theory I like the idea of open admission to a nudist resort, but same problem: you'd be swamped with a bunch of guys and coed social nudism would not exist as a result.
There is an alternative, I know of at least one nudist resort that has fairly good gender balance without a gender balance policy. They go to great lengths to have activities that welcome children and that seems to create the coed family atmosphere that also attracts un-attached single women and couples with kids. The "adult couples" resorts seem to almost universally have very strict policies against unescorted men or they would quickly find themselves becoming a gay male resort.Comment

Well, Trailscout, I think that's the only thing you and I disagree on so far. I believe in letting everyone in and monitoring their behavior. I don't believe in turning someone away just because he's not married, or he's married but his wife won't go with him. It's not my fault if women are uncomfortable around men. It's the fault of the men who make them uncomfortable by their behavior, and there's nothing wrong with my behavior.
That is one reason why social nudism isn't catching on--they turn people away according to their marital status. I realize that if there are too many single men there that it supposedly discourages women from going. It seems no matter what the resorts do nothing works. The friendliest resort I've been to is Serendipity Park in Georgia.
Unfortunately, it looks as though I won't be moving down there after all since my house isn't selling. Even if it does, I will probably stay here so that I can be near my grandkids.Comment

Jon-Marc,
Does Turtle Lake let unescorted males in? If so, is Turtle Lake pretty much an all-male resort or have they found some way to attract single women and couples and families with kids that counteracts this tendency for nudism to be an all-male thing?
I am glad that you are not rushing to sell your house. I am beginning to study real estate and I hear that a lot of investors look for people who are in a hurry to move and are consequently willing to come way down on their asking price for their house. I would ask a realtor what improvements will help sell a house and do them. Swimming pools do not help sell a house in all parts of the country. Some folks think a pool makes for too much work year-round for the short swimming season you northern folks have. It can't hurt to mow the lawn and trim the bushes. You can do that yourself. I can't believe the houses listed for sale around here that have knee-high grass and peeling paint and then the realtor is puzzled why no one wants to see the house.
I can understand wanting to be with your grandchildren. I suppose moving to Georgia or Florida would put an end to your time with them.
I don't think I would mind living in Michigan as long as I could spend part of the winter down south. Maybe you could get a cheap pop-up camper and spend a few weeks a year in Florida during the worst parts of your winters. There is one Florida nudist RV park that charges no fees, but asks the guests to help with a few chores.Comment

Trailscout,
Since I go there I guess that means TLR allows single males. With the addition of "gender balance" to their Web site, that may change some. I haven't seen all that many men or women by themselves there, but I do see a lot of couples.
I will be adding new siding which the realtor says will add to the "curb appeal" as well as the value, and I have to agree. It will greatly improve the looks of the house on the outside.
I wish I could afford to live here during spring and summer, and in Florida during fall and winter. I know a couple who do that, but they're considerably better off financially than I am and can afford two homes, while I can barely afford one.Comment

Jon-Marc,
I think Turtle Lake must have been doing something policy-wise that led to the fairly good gender balance that exists there today.
It is preferable to have policies that naturally work toward balance rather than being forced into telling unescorted male prospective visitors that they are not welcome to visit the resort.
It might be too expensive for you (and a lot of us) to have a second home in Florida, but perhaps you could afford to stay in a pop-up trailer in a nudist campground for a couple of weeks during the worst part of your winters?Comment
