Nudist Friends
Nudist Friends sets out to help naturalists make connections. It should be noted that although they also market the name under Nudist Friend Finder, this site is not associated with the Friend Finder network of sites. Having said that, the site is has targeted an interesting niche. Here’s what we thought of NudistFriends.com.
The signup process is easy and quick if you just want to log on to check out who’s online. One interesting feature is that it prompts you to recommend friends to the network, which sounds like a good way to cultivate a larger member base. The profile quality is acceptable, giving you a number of options to help describe yourself and the person or people you’re looking to meet. However, the search for member profiles didn’t start off on a good foot. The first person to pop up looked like a model with the headline “I’m a horny little girl.” Many, but not all, of the profiles that came up seemed to be a little suspicious. This is often a risk when a dating site targets adult oriented pleasures so you should be on your guard when joining.
“NudistFriends.com walks a fine line between what we would consider acceptable and not.”
Nudist Friends gives you a number of search options but it cripples you if you’re just browsing as a guest. You can do general searches but nothing local, making it very hard to find out exactly how many people are online in your immediate area. Another issue I had was that they also hide the date that a given member was last online until you join so it’s hard to tell if the hundreds of members in my area were on yesterday or if they were on last year. However, once you purchase a membership, you can see when people were last online, run searches based on proximity to you and even search by keywords found inside profiles.
There are a number of options available for quick contact through the sites instant messenger service. It’s more than just a chat client. You can also send video and voice messages through it as well. Needless to say, it might not take long for your nudist contacts to bare all.
Free access is essential when scooping out a site to see if it’s worth your time and money. NudistFriends.com walks a fine line between what we would consider acceptable and not. It’s my belief that any site worth its price tag should let you search for members close to you and show you when they were last online. After all, to make any connections you want to have contacts in your area that are still active on the site. Nudist Friends limits your search radius to 100 miles but you can shrink that to 50 miles when you join. The fact that you can’t see when any of these other members logged on, though, is the major draw back. This means that if you do a test search for members in your area, you can’t see how many have been on recently. Other that that, you can get a pretty good look at what the site offers without paying a dime. But to really get down with the community, you have to pay the piper.
“It truly is a well-built community.”
NudistFriends.com has gone out of its way to give you options and create a community. They have built a site that is unique and looks to have been built with care, as opposed to many of the other cookie cutter sites that are out there today. One interesting feature is that the site will email all the members in your area with a general email that you can customize. If you’re not picky about who you connect with, this can be a useful tool that cuts down on time spent searching. You can leave comments on peoples profiles and read what others have said about them. There’s a chat forum where you can engage in discussions and they even have daily nudist news. Naturalists should really enjoy what this site has put together.
Although it owns and redirects traffic from NudistFriendFinder.com, there is no affiliation with the Friend Finder network of dating sites. However, Nudist Friends isn’t another cardboard site pushed out to the masses to capitalize on having snagged a good domain name. It truly is a well-built community. Now if it could just clean up some of what appears to be fake profiles and hookers-for-hire, this site will have a strong future as a portal for the nudist community.
