Why are there so many more male nudists then female nudists?
Some thoughts.
It's been argued that the reason is women don't feel safe around single men. Perhaps, but I feel its deeper than that.
I've talked to many non-nudist women about our lifestyle. For those who will not open their minds to it, the majority aren't against it because on moral grounds, right or wrong, or anything like that. The most common answer, "I couldn't because I don't have the body for it" (or something along those same lines).
Here's my conclusion. The American society pounds women into believing that looks are of the utmost importance. Beautiful supermodels grace magazine covers, t.v ads, and billboards. Girls as young as 11 are taught that they need to have an hourglass body. How many people really fit into this mode? A slim part of our society. Of course men are not exempt from this same training. The difference is that success/achievement is the barometer. Ever see the ads for the man who has it all, the house on the ocean, beautiful wife, and jaguar?
A man who is slightly overweight will typically not be as self conscience about his body as a woman in the same situation. This, I believe makes it easier for him to get naked in a mixed setting (once he gets over the length of his penis trip). Woman fear being judged not only by men, but by other women. Not exactly a mindset to inspire one to attempt social nudity.
I would love to hear comments from other members as to their views on this topic and maybe even some solutions.
