Single female nudists
Although single male nudists decry the apparent low numbers of single female nudists, we haven’t found that to be the case in our local club. By carefully maintaining some simple standards that make sense for a social club like ours, we have been able to retain and attract a healthy mix of both single males and single females as a complement to the majority of our members who are couples. Currently, for example, our roster includes four single females and six single males, and 75 couples.
What kind of simple standards? Easy: singles (of either gender) are not admitted without the recommendation of an existing member. That simple policy statement allows us to decline the huge number of inquiries we get from single males who find us on the Internet. If not for that policy, we’d have a huge and disproportionate number of single males in our club, which would not be desireable for the majority of our members who are married couples. The single females who do inquire about our club are usually already practicing nudists or know one of our other members, found out about our club through those channels, and can then be recommended for membership by one of them.
We’ve heard first-hand of other local clubs that fell apart because the male-to-female ratio went too far in the male direction because they had either an “admit-all” policy or no well-conceived policy at all on the question of how to maintain a good social mix of membership.
For single males who complain that we are ‘discriminating’ against them, we plead guilty; then we remind them that our club is a voluntary social group that sets policies as it sees fit to keep the club fun and active for our members, and if they aren’t happy about that, then they are free to go out and start their own nudist club like our founders did 20+ years ago, and they can set up any kind of policies they like.
By the way, we also discriminate against pedophiles, sex offenders, underage minors, members who don’t pay our annual dues, members who don’t follow our club’s etiquette rules, people who don’t want to take their clothes off at our events, and so on. Discrimination, after all, is what makes any club what it is: a group of like-minded folks who wish to associate to share a common interest.
Great policy. I agree with everything in your post.
