Newsflash! 20 times more men apply to PhotoNaturals than women!
Okay, all you lone single guys... You CAN participate by helping with one simple thing. And before you get mad at me for not immediately accepting you into the fold with open arms, consider the following points.
1. First of all, you CAN come to the Nude Beach Party Event in early October. It is a big open public beach and I am not restricting people by gender balance. Besides, if you make a really great impression with energy and enthusiasm I might offer you something later. You don't even have to do the application here. Just show up on that day.
2. Although there is a strong social aspect to what we do, the visual side is very important too. In this vision there must be about as many females as males in the images and videos. So, in some regards this is like casting a movie or play - there isn't a place for everyone auditioning. In this case there are few openings for extra guys and I already have over 100 of you in my database waiting for a turn.
3. As time goes on, the project has collected a number of single males who have been very dedicated and helpful to the project and really know what is going on and how to help run things. I have to give them first choice to be involved in a given event. This reduces even further the number of new males I can add.
4. Women who apply on their own, in many cases, end up conscripting a boyfriend or male friend to come with them. So again, the sad fact is that there are few "single" women I can pair you up with in the accounting of a given group.
5. Another weird imbalance: most of the guys applying are over 50. Most of the women applying are under 30. Where are the older women? They are welcome to join us! Many of our small outings end up as groups of people in their 20s and 30s because I build around a core of new people and try to match the social group. The typical single guy nudist is 65 - I hate to say it but you usually just don't fit in to the smaller group outings. I would love to do outings with groups of older people - but where are the women? BTW our retreat events do have a mix of all ages. And the yearly beach event is totally open.
You CAN get involved if you help with one simple task:
**** Help PhotoNaturals get more women signed up and showing up! ****
If you are enthusiastic about being involved, please do this one thing to help. It is something we really need to grow.
How?
Well, look, I know you have been on the lookout for a woman who can share your passion for being nude outdoors. And it is TOUGH out there. I know. Part of the problem is explaining what naturism is all about, that this kind of nude experience is not a sexual overture. Communicating this could be easier for you if you do it in the context of going to one of our events. The website clearly lays out the philosophy, the non-sexual nature of it, how much fun it is, how safe it is, that it is supervised, etc.
If you have a woman friend in mind, have her read through the website, starting with the front page, then working into the detail pages about the events.
There is another tool I can offer. It is a promotional postcard. If you like, I can mail you a stack of them that you can hand out. If you use the postcards make sure you get the recipients to name you as their "buddy" or referrer when they do the application.
Good Luck!
