I'm way more with Myr than with Ann (though Ann has a point)
It is (at least) ten times easier for a female 'Lee to find a male 'Ler in our society than the other way around.
My estimates are something like...
Males: 'Lers comprise 2-to-5 percent of the total
Females: 'Lees comprise 0.2-to-1 percent of the total.
I have met two women in my entire life whom I can confidently say were definite 'Lees. One was in high-school and had such awful personality characteristics that I began to believe that I couldn't make a good decision in choosing anything.
The other was in my very late twenties, whom I let get away (I'm so smart).
I've met dozens of others. Many (maybe most) would tolerate tickling, and I think this is what most 'Lers wind up accepting as their best choices. (Let the reader decide the merits and forlorn of those in such circumstances.)
Those who tolerated tickling, however, were definitely not the true 'Lees that we have in this community.
At times, I wondered if the disaster I was dating in high-school was simply one who tolerated tickling, and used it as a manipulative tool, but, tickling was definitely a part of our dating and she definitely provoked me, so I will count that experience as a real 'Lee.
There is very little science behind my estimates. They are just my guesses based on my dating. There definitely ARE female 'Lees amongst us, but in the world of tickling, the girls can usually have just about anything they want.
My Best Guess: --> Males outnumber females by at least an order of magnitude.
What's the solution for the unlucky male 'Ler ? [A] Be young and be wealthy beyond the 97th percentile and [C] be physically fit and [D] be handsome like a media hunk, and [E] be intelligent past the IQ-140 level and [F] be funny/clever/witty and [G] be able to fight like kung-fu, rambo, et.al., and [H] have your social skills advanced so highly that you can eat at a mexican restaurant and not get a speck of food on a white dinner jacket and Be Educated past the graduate school level and [J] Have a military history as a major in the Air Force with 37 thousand hours in the cockpit of several different supersonic fighter jets, and [K] be able to read minds and [L] be able to predict future events, and [M] be able to lick your own eyebrows and ears (in front of her, when you are alone).
Male 'Lers who possess all qualities "A" thru "M" will be more able to find a female 'Lee than the rest of us.
