Went for a walk this morning - unfortunately was met by a clothed couple! Explained what I was and stood and chatted to them for about 10 mins - all very pleasant and reinforces my view that no one minds nudity if you show respect! And I think most people know nudity is normal.

Socially relative.
There are people in cultures that would have minded.
Also, the people you met might be complaining to everyone who will listen about the man they saw nude. Some people react to the uncommon with apparent indifference, but are privately unhappy.
Everyone must be careful of the line between being seen and showing. Our intention can be blurry & others' perception of our intention is really all that matters.
and STILL there are plenty accusations of people who are naked wrong or who looked at other naked people wrong.
