How was your month for Free Range Naturism?

[Greenbare Woods]

I agree with John's comments. Most women don't want advances by men.

That has not been my experience nor my observation from reading women posting on social media.  Many women complain on social media that they "can't find a man."  And, men complain about women with "high body count."   Women on social media complain that her "high body count" shouldn't matter. 

We are told by the misandrist corporate media that women don't want advances by men, but far more actual women are complaining that men won't approach them any more.

Of course women and men are often busy doing other things, but that doesn't mean there aren't many women who are intending to meet men. They appreciate being approached politely.   

They want the same standard of behaviour you'd get at most non-naturist clubs ans societies.

The normal standard of behavior of clubs, bars, and social situations is that women go there to be approached, get "free" drinks, and meet men.  Nudists pretending and promoting an asexual standard has driven women away.  It's been a problem for nudist resorts and clubs for a long time.

 I don't accept you premise all women want to meet men for a relationship in a naturist environment. Some perhaps. If this was the case why are women only holidays and events popular. Why aren't more women at least trying out naturism. Why are women more comfortable when there are other women about. I'm talking about clubs and societies with a rangeof ages s. Sure a couple.may click which leads to a relationship. This side of the pond we don't expect women to be unduly hasselled by men. If they want to chat up a bloke.maybe but the unwarranted approached by men for their sexual gratification against the woman's wishes is what we are talking about,

Relying on social media posts comes, I think, under the heading of unscientific survey. The fact they are posting makes them a self-selecting sample, so while their desire to be approached is probably genuine it isn't indicative of all women, ditto anything said by men. And that's leaving aside the questionable nature of statements that people make on social media when they can hide behind their keyboard's anonymity.

[Greenbare Woods]

Of course not all women and not all the time, but many women self select to go to clubs, bars, and other places to meet men for dating or relationships.  Over on Tik-Tok there are a lof women lately who have been wining and crying that men now avoid making contact (since the Me-Too thing) 

If this was the case why are women only holidays and events popular.

I have seen several recent reports that attempts to create Women Only bars, clubs, or events have fallen flat, and been financial failures.  Meeting men is one of the primary reasons (Many but not all) single women go to such places. 

Why aren't more women at least trying out naturism. Why are women more comfortable when there are other women about. I'm talking about clubs and societies with a rangeof ages s.

Why would a single woman bother to go to a Naturist place if she is told that single men are limited and the few man allowed in wont' make social contact?   Just another lonely waste of her time.

Your mileage may vary.

A lot of women just like to hang with women. They like that girl bond thing. Some guys like guy things. We have a women's sweat once a month that is usually well attended. Girls often act different with the other girls. Throw a man into the mix and they change. Right or wrong, healthy or not. So, My point is that women are not feeling lonely solely because they seek companionship with the opposite sex. They like people in general. Not looking for some guy or gal and just having fun is a very attractive thing. When the boy/girl thing happens along it feels unpressured and more relaxed.

DF says that the consensus in a national naturist women meeting at the TNS Western Gathering was that just because a woman is alone doesn't mean that they want to hook up.

Maybe they should wear a bracelet that says the don't want to be picked up. Oh, that's what the rings are about. Maybe men need to learn to better read the subtleties of social interaction. Fortunately, our sweat is a spiritual venue, not a pickup place. That is stated explicitly in the Code of Conduct. One can be kicked out for being predatious, or inappropriately there to get laid. Women need to feel comfortable if they are going to come back and be a part of the family.

But, little things happen. The  first time that I took Jeanine to Shangra la Resort, we walked by the swimming pool while a volleyball game was going on. Evey guy, curiously, looked at her at once. I don't think that any one of them noticed that the others were doing that, too. I notice that when a young attractive woman might come to the sweat, that there are older guys that are very nice. Inadvertently, they make them feel at home, or creep them out.

I don't know, but our non-landed club back in the 1990's had a female running it and new females trying it out  felt more comfortable greeted by her. When she moved, we had an all male club within a couple of months.

Nuduke would fit in and be a welcome member of a club, but who's to know that he is as he is. Who's to recommend him?

Been in 4 wheel drive all week in Utah's wilderness, searching out ruins of forts, granaries, and pictographs and petroglyphs in remote canyons, with no internet...naked like the ancients that I'm trying to better understand.

We're going back tomorrow.

Interesting observation.  One time I took my wife to Valley View in Colorado (olt.org).  We were sitting around the pool that afternoon and she told me that the young man sitting across from us had "the largest cock here."   She didn't say how she knew that information, but it implied 1. that she had noticed (looked at) all the men at the resort, and 2. was interested enough in male anatomy to have looked. 

Of course men are going to notice and look at women whether clothed or not.  AND, women are going to notice and look at men whether clothed or not.  That interest is built into our biology.  Men may be more overt about it, but that doesn't mean women aren't also looking. 

Women tend to spend a lot more time than men doing deliberate things such as makeup or hair styles to make themselves "attractive" meaning to be noticed.  But, most men do similar but less obvious things, just not so obvious. 

We are a very social species that spends huge amounts of our time observing others of our kind. We have huge industries that provide movies and series for us to watch people doing things.  In person we always watch other people, and particularly enjoy watching opposite sex people.  People watching is probably our most common entertainment.

This month our weather here in Washington State (USA) was mostly cold, windy, and rainy.  The older I get the more I've become a fair weather nudist.  There were a few days when I got out to mow the lawn in mid afternoon.  The rest of the time was cold. .

Then last week I attended a Pagan Gathering in Kansas. The weather was low 80s and there were numerous pagans going "skyclad" (naked) at the gathering.  I offed my sweatshirts and got some needed sunshine on my winter white.  There were probably about 20 of us skyclad men and about 10 topless women among 150 mostly covered people.  Had a good time. 

It was disappointing to return to cold windy weather at home.  Maybe in June

[nuduke]

We've had a pretty rotten May so far.  Usually get some fine weather this last week in May but no dice this year, just intermittent rain and pretty constant cloud. Only a handful of sunny days.  I picked my early gooseberry crop (only about 11/2 lb) yesterday naked (bit prickly!! had to watch where my crotch was over the bushes!) and felt a bit chilly.  We had to put the heating on for a couple of hours today!  Normally turn it off April to October!
I have booked a naturist event at the end of June.  I do hope that  day and early evening when the thing is happening is a fine one and not rained off, it's so long since I've been out in a public place naked.  This one is a visit to a stately home gardens and parkland, not unlike the Abbey House experience.  Organised by a local non-membership non-landed naturist group.  Yes, I will report when it happens if not rained off!

Well, May has come and gone - generally cool & showery in the English Lake District but I've managed an hour or more nude on eight of the 31 days so could have been worse. One of those days was at Drurudge Bay in the north-east, when it was very breezy on the beach but possible to sunbathe on the sheltered side of the dunes. That day would not have been nude-worthy weather at home so we travelled at the right time.

I had three naked walks on my new hip, a 1 hour and a 3 hour walk including some hilly terrain, plus a 5-miler along a sea-wall path that has become a semi-regular place for us. Mrs F was with me on the two longer walks, nude some of the time. Usually we meet nobody on the sea wall, but this time there were 2 other pairs of people at some distance - no problems avoiding them.

May started out with a long weekend at the hot springs. We had five guest with us. We got mineral mudded up in camouflage green together.

After the big Taurus b-day party the next week, DF and I took off for Bears Ears National Monument and are still up here, getting together our return today. We have cruised nude all the way to Utah and explored most of its incredible wild back country Bears Ears nude, for the last month. Desert, ancient ruins, hidden geology and last week in idyllic green mountains with stunning vistas. Mostly alone and freely naked. Some stealth roaming. Lots of photos. Much more to come. Many stories to tell.

I was fortunate to pick one of the few recent sunny days for an eight mile walk a short distance from Tamworth. I only saw one other person but at the time I was dressed being on a road. Most of the walk I was naked.

On Saturday I visited Burrows Garden near Derby. It was a BN organised visit. It was sunny but there was a chilly breeze which dropped at leaving time. There are new owners but they are supportive of naturism with three opportunities to visit this year. The cakes on sale wete good to.

It's been a crappy spring for naturism overall here in the Canadian west. This is definitely a La Ni

I hear you.  I'm in western USA only 100 miles south of Canada.  We had frost warnings last night (June 15).  Our June afternoons have mostly been 15 C or less with wind and cold rain.  .
As June goes, this year has been among the worst for being outside naked. 

[jbeegoode]

It must be pretty bad, when Kansas starts looking good to you!  :
