Blonds vs brunettes

[rhiannon]

So if I dye my hair blond I'll get a worse tickler? Oh, by the way, I was blonde for a while last year...I was still ticklish and enjoyed it. 🙂

Seriously, don't try to link hair color to tickling...doesn't work

No, we're talking about DNA hair color. Not dyed. That's artificial.

I'm not saying or insinuation that all people of a certain hair color are a certain way with tickling, but that there is a higher degree of a certain type of people with a certain type of hair color (natural hair color, not dyed) that shows the tendency of being better at tickling. Then again, one must take into consideration other factors as well, but that's a whole other story.

Again, this is all harmless speculation. No arguing. Just theorizing, I guess you could say.

It's been my experience that brunettes are the better ticklers. Most blondes I've known(at least the hot ones) aren't very ticklish(or they are ticklish, but they hate it) and don't seem to be very interested in tickling. There have been exceptions of course.

I concur.

Yeah, but that doesn't make the theory less ridiculous. 🙂

HOW would one have to do with the other? Plus, I am about ready to bet that most of the blondes you see around and in clips are, in fact, not naturally blonde!

I don't find the theory ridiculous at all. It's a sort of statistical theory, based on what people have experienced, and for those who have had a higher number of brunettes as better ticklers, that is somewhat considerable in regards to this theory.

I'm not sure. Maybe it's something that could be figured out later on down the road. I sure would be interested in finding out what it is.

Oh, I'm sure that's probably very well true. I actually get irritated at the whole "blond" obsession. It's so cliche to the point of nausea. You never see red being an overly popular hair dye option, which I think is a bit irritating because ... I think red hair is just about the prettiest hair color out there, 😱 being that it's because it's relatively rare.

If there was statistic numbers to support it, I don't think it would still be a theory. 🙂

Then again, how many lers would you have to have had (was that grammatically correct??) before you actually have a number big enough to make it statistically significant?

I wish I knew.

...Are there? I figured that there would somehow have to be some sort of number for this. Numbers are everywhere. Despite the fact that I am not good with them - that's being gentle about it - they can fit into just about any scenario, some way, some how.

Not sure.

I hope someone who's good at numbers and general statistics knows, or something.

The problem is that you can't measure anything that has to do with tickling. How do you determine a "better" ler anyways? You are looking at several clips where brunettes are the lers, and then what? She is better than...who? How do you determine that the person being the lee in that clip reacts stronger to that special brunette - or any brunette - than the lee would to a blonde?

Experimental?

Probably in a set experimentation, within a certain amount of blonds and brunettes, under certain rules within the tickling, etc.

I suppose you could determine a better 'ler by technique, but I'm not so sure that would be consistent because the ticklishness of each 'lee would be varying. Maybe something within that experimentation would have to be rearranged. All this is hypothetical, of course.

 

[rhiannon]

I'm not so sure that would be consistent because the ticklishness of each 'lee would be varying.

That is exactly the problem! You can't test if someone is better than someone else in something that cannot be measured.

Hmm. But what if you could set a controlled experiment where all levels of ticklishness are involved?

I just find it interesting.

That's the thing, you can't. How would you detemine a "level of ticklishness"?

 

[TangerineTicklee]

That's the thing, you can't. How would you detemine a "level of ticklishness"?

How are you so sure that all of this is completely impossible to do? Not even remotely possible? You literally think all of it is ridiculous to just test?

It's not like I'm saying that this is true, I'm saying it's an interesting theory to test. I say all of this out of curiosity. I'm not saying it to be a "know it all" or stereotypical. I just like to ponder ideas.

I think a better question is, what exactly makes some people ticklish in general and others not ticklish at all, given the fact that it's normal for people to be wired - neurologically - to be ticklish? That's what I find more interesting than anything. If anything, it's more than likely that, whatever the answer to this is, is applicable to the ticklee's ticklishness more so than the phenotype of the tickler.

If there is no way to test "ticklishness", then there is no way to test anything else. You can't put ticklishness in numbers.

 

[TangerineTicklee]

If there is no way to test "ticklishness", then there is no way to test anything else. You can't put ticklishness in numbers.

So if someone says that, on a scale of 1 out of 10, their ticklish number is, like, 6, you would think that they're full of shit?

 

[rhiannon]

I would say it is totally subjective. My six is probably way different from your six! Someone who is really ticklish will have a different six than someone who is just moderately ticklish. There is nothing to compare it to but yourself!

You have a point.

I just thought it was an interesting idea. No more, no less.
