Instant friends
Two of our good nudist friends moved to the US after several years living overseas. Knowing no one in our Dallas/Ft. Worth area, but as active nudists in their former country of residence, they knew they’d be welcome and meet a lot of fun people as soon as they could find and get involved with a local nudist club.
They got in touch with our club very soon after settling in, and started participating immediately. Being easy-going, fun-loving folks as most nudists are, they had no trouble at all meeting and making friends with everyone else in our club. Just a month later, one of them remarked that they knew that after moving to Dallas, they’d have to find a nudist club to join, because it meant “instant friends.”
It is so easy to make good friends from nudists you meet. The converse is not true: it is very difficult to make nudists from existing non-nudist friends. One of our members puts it very well when she says, “It’s easier to make friends out of nudists than nudists out of friends.“
We never had so many friends as we have met from nudism. When I tell folks at work that we had 60 or 70 friends over at our house for a pool party, the blink in disbelief. I doubt any of them has more than a handful of people they would consider friends; even fewer if work-related acquaintances are excluded. Nudism brings people together like no other pastime or lifestyle I know of. That alone makes it a wonderful way of life, because what is life without the love of friends?
