Nudist Friends Review

Introduction

Nudist Friends is an established dating site founded in 2001 that has since become one of the leading places to find other naturists and nudists online. You can think of it as the Tinder for nudists, where you can freely upload naked photos. The site had more than 900,000 members, and the number only kept growing! This nudist dating site acts more like a social media platform where its members can upload and share photos, videos, and statutes.

Not only is this a site for nudists, but with a rather well-paying affiliate program, you might even be able to make an extra few dollars on the side all while having tons of fun. Just keep an eye out for anyone else who might be an affiliate and only sticking around to keep you chatting.

But let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. There are some things you will need to know to be sure if NudistFriends is indeed the site for you. So, if you are really looking for a place where you can be your naked self without shame or excuses. Our NudistFriends review will give you the rundown before you complete your login and explore your deepest nudist desires.

Pros

• Easy to use and navigate through
• Many fun and interesting features

• You can unsend a message you sent to a user (the user won’t be able to read it, but they will be notified)

Cons

• Need a membership to initiate a conversation with other users
• Need to upload an image to complete the registration process
• The site actually features a lot of nudity (which goes against their guidelines according to their T&C - but this can be a Pro for most)
• High possibility of fake accounts, or accounts that are only there to get you to pay more

Registration Process

Nudist Friends’ registration process is quite straightforward and quick. However, it has a few more steps than some other dating sites.

Be forewarned you might not find the NudistFriends site if you simply look for it via Google, so be sure to type out www.NudistFriends.com directly into your web browser. Simply select your gender, the gender and age range that you are looking for, along with your country and state, then click ‘CREATE AN ACCOUNT’.

The next step asks for your email and for you to click the prompt, which verifies that you are not a robot, and to confirm that you have read and agree to the Service Agreement as well as the Privacy Policy. You will be asked again to validate your gender and the gender you are looking for. Select either ‘woman’, ‘man’, or ‘couple’. The next step asks you to create a password and to confirm your location and age again. It might seem tedious to enter all this information twice but it only takes 2 seconds. From there you need to create a username (you don’t need to use your real name).

The last few steps ask you to enter your height, ethnicity, and current relationship status and to give a bit more information about yourself like writing an eye-catching headline. That will be one of the first things that other members will read about you, and here, you also write your ‘About Me’ text. It’s great for letting other members know about your hobbies and interests and to give a bit of detail as to what you are looking for. There is a specific section ‘About My Match’ where you can go into even more detail as to what you imagine your ideal match would be like. Mention the qualities you look for in a partner, if you want them to have shared interests or anything else you might be looking for.

The very last step is to add a profile picture. Apparently, this will get you approximately 20 times more profile views (according to NudistFriends). You may also be requested to complete a profile verification (this happens at random when they find unusual activity on your account - even though it has not been created yet). To complete the photo verification you will need to upload a readable digital copy of your driver’s licence, ID, or passport. You will get a notification once it has been verified.

App & Mobile Compatibility

Nudist Friends.com does not have a mobile app available, but you can get a similar dating experience logging in via your mobile web browser as you would from your desktop. There are some differences in how the information is presented, so if you alternate between using a desktop at home and a smartphone while on the go, you may need to adjust to a few differences. For example, on a desktop browser, you will see other members' ‘latest activities’ on your home page along with other features, but on the mobile browser, this will be labelled as ‘moments’ and has its own tab to access. These are only small changes and if you stick to one browser you don’t really need to worry all that much.

One thing we also noticed is that the website is not completely optimised for iPad users. You can get away with signing on, and you will get a similar experience to the desktop version, but we’d recommend not to resize your screen or do a Split View while logged on because then the site does some wonky things that start to create a rather frustrating user experience. You will also be able to toggle between the desktop and mobile versions by scrolling down to the footer of the page and selecting ‘Switch to NudistFriends Mobile’.

Men Vs Women

On NudistFriends men and women get the same experience. Everyone has access to the exact same features, need to give 100% of the same info when signing up, and is asked to pay the same price for a Premium Membership.

It's important to mention that regardless of whether you're looking to match with one gender or both, all users will have access to your profile and photos. Based on our experience, when we indicated that we were exclusively interested in women, we received messages from male profiles asking us to upload additional photos for them. This underscores the value of upgrading to premium, as it allows you to control who can view your profile.

Features

Spark & Private Album

The "Spark" feature provides users with a list of members who match their preferences based on their profile (the filters can also be adjusted), allowing users to either "heart" or "skip" them. When two users “heart” each other, they receive an email notification letting them know that they have a match. This gamified feature for matching with other members is very similar to the mechanics of Tinder which first brought in the swipe-style way of matching.

A user also has the ability to create an album of their photos and set it as private. This is great, especially for those who don’t want their hobby to be exploited for other uses. Creating a private album allows each user to pick and choose which members have access to and can view the images featured in their album. And you’ll be able to treat your matches with a sneak peek at your bare self whenever you feel it appropriate.

Winks & Discovering

Do you see someone you like? Nudiest Friends has an integrated “wink” button that allows users to send automated one-liners from a list to other users they like to break the ice. The winks are free (but are limited to 50 per day) and are a good way to initiate contact with someone if you are not a premium member yet.

Aside from the regular filtering options on age, gender, location, etc that most dating sites provide, purchasing the premium membership on NudistFriends.com allows you to search based on physical characteristics, lifestyle practices, and relationship desires. This makes it a great way to discover your perfect match with ease.

Feed & First Date Ideas

Upon logging in for the first time, the homepage resembles a Facebook feed to a considerable extent. Users can create public posts, share images of themselves, and initiate discussions with other users on the site. Unlike Facebook, however, you can view posts not only from users you've been in contact with but also from others you haven't interacted with. This gives you the opportunity to discover new people with your interests who might not have shown up on your “Discover” search.

Under the “community” tab of the main menu, you can find the “First Date Ideas” tab which allows you to find users who share your idea of what nudist friend dating should be like on a first date. Again, this is a nice space to find someone who shares your love for nudity and romance. As both men and women use this feature, it’s great for finding and making friends with people who might not even be your preferred gender.

Offers, Prices & Costs

NudistFriends com is a freemium site with its best features and perks firmly behind a paywall. The site can technically be used for free without really needing to spend a penny. However, there are a few limitations that come with using the site as a Standard member. The limitations of a free-to-use account include:

• Not being able to initiate messaging with other users
• Only being able to reply to users with premium memberships
• Not being able to see who has viewed your profile or who has liked you

As far as the Premium Membership costs go, we have found that the prices are the same for both genders on the site. You are presented with 3 membership plans which include a 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month length, where the latter is the best value for money in the long run.

A good thing to keep in mind is that your purchase, of any length of membership, will automatically renew after the time period of that membership expires, or until it is cancelled by the user. On their FAQ section, it was shared that a user might remove their account from the site but will still continue being charged regardless of their account status assuming they were using Google Play or apple app store to pay so far. In that case, the user will need to stop their subscription through the aforementioned payment options as well.

Premium Membership Package

Signing up for the premium membership allows you access to all privileges and features found on the site. The most important being able to message whomever you like, see who liked you, and gain access to advanced search criteria.

Premium Membership Prices & Costs

Safety & Security

Fake Profiles (Affiliations)

On most dating sites these days it’s good to keep an eye out for either fake or scam accounts, as well as accounts created and catalogued by the dating site (or via third-party involvement). This is usually done to create a higher level of engagement and to increase a member's likelihood of purchasing a membership. These sites are usually identified as an “entertainment site” in their Terms and Conditions. The www NudistFriends site is provided on an ‘as is’ basis so there is no claim that you are only talking to women who actually want to meet.

The site also has a very appealing affiliate program in which members can sign up to earn money by getting other people to purchase a membership. While these members are in fact real people (and not bots), they are solely there to get other members to stay online and to keep their membership open. Unfortunately, there is no way to discern who is and who isn’t an affiliate so a little bit (or maybe a lot) of discernment is needed on your part to sift through the site and find the real hidden gems.

Personal Data Usage

Because www NudistFriends com is part of the SuccessfulMatch Network of nudist websites any data that you add to your profile will also be visible to any registered members of any of the affiliate sites within the network. The list of sites includes 30 other nudist-oriented dating sites and the complete list can be found in the site’s Service Agreement. Sharing your details across the SuccessfulMatch Network of nudist dating sites is purely to increase your overall chances of finding a match.

In addition to the list of affiliated sites connected to the main site, some third-party websites may also offer links to both the main site and its affiliates. NudistFriends will not share any of your information with these third-party sites, but these external sites may request personal information before redirecting you to the main site or an affiliated website. And there is no guarantee what third parties will use that for, so to be on the safe side we suggest you log in directly via NudistFriends.

Profile Verification

Like most dating sites, Nudist Friends com requests your email verification upon signing up to ensure they have a way to contact you for any updates to the site or anything related to your matches. However, email verification is not the only step to completely verifying your profile on the site.

The site requests a photo of your personal ID card to verify your identity based on the profile picture you posted. We initially signed up using a blank image, and our account was removed within 24 hours of registration. They also mentioned that they manually check each image for the safety of their users; this looked to be effective.

Image Guidelines & Agreement Changes

According to the image guidelines of the site, any images containing nude or explicit content will be removed after a 24-hour manual review. However, upon our first login, we noticed that there are a lot of profiles sharing nude pictures on the site publicly which do not seem to be removed by their moderation.

Another minor complaint we came across while reading their service agreement was that changes can be made to it sometimes without prior notice to the user. They also mention that it is possible that the agreement page might not be updated, granted the change does not directly affect the service of the site.

Conclusion

All in all, NudistFriends.com looks to be a legitimate and safe dating site for those who enjoy being naked with some nude company. While the site does not allow users without profile images to sign up and interact with others, it is all part of their security policy which we find reassuring.

Your overall experience might be dependent on your budget, but adding valuable and honest dating tips to their dating advice section will allow you a month to try the premium version out for free. So if you enjoy being naked, NudistFriends.com is a great dating site that we would recommend for you to find a date, a friend, or even your nude significant other.

Tips

• Create a private album with all your nude or explicit images
• Create your own posts and fiddle around with their discovery feature
• Complete your profile verification and information for a better chance of showing up on other people’s search results
• If you want to give the premium membership a try without committing long-term, remember that the 1-month plan renews automatically so if you wish to stop its renewal you will need to do it manually
• To try a one-month membership completely for free you can click ‘Dating Advice & Safety’ in the footer of the page and submit one of your own dating tips for other members to read. Tips can be for anything from date preparation, manners, conversation tips, or general nudist dating tips. These tips are posted on all SuccessfulMatch Network sites.
