I don't know if men are more ticklish, but from what I've seen, they do tend to get more embarrassed about it. I AM STRONG MAN I HAVE NO WEAKNESS!!!!! Ha, right.
For the most part I don't care.....but when you have to wade through six lines of "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" every third sentence it just gets annoying, so I simply befriend my ignore button for awhile. No big deal.
