Fetlife

[me4o]

So, I guess quite a lot of you are also members of Fetlife. How do you like it, do you find it useful? Although I registered quite a long time ago, I started using it properly just recently. So far I've been talking to one very nice girl, but just random talk, as she has completely different fetishes. Would be happy to hear your thought on the website 🙂

If someone feels to strong urge to drop me a line there or add me as a friend, my nickname is mesho. Just sayin' 😀

Speaking as someone who is into more than just tickling, it's a decent enough website - it's primarily a social networking site as opposed to a dating site though.
It's great for keeping in touch with folk that I've met IRL, and of course to make more friends along the way.

From what I've seen of it, it's more functional and easier to navigate than Facebook. I'm a member but haven't used it or even logged in for about a year. Doesn't appeal to me I guess or maybe I just haven't used it enough. Shrug.

 

[Inverse]

Not very functional to me like FB~ because it doesn't really track comments or interests of friends, which is what allows FB to 'network'. It's nice for their groups though, but makes them no better than the old Yahoo groups, which never really seemed like they made any sense to me.

It's best to use to keep track of people you've met in RL, or in a forum and want to connect with them on a more personal level than just a screen name. <3

good info

To me its a kinky facebook, I also found it an excellent source, when needed, to find play times as plenty of kinky people on there that are into tickling but not to the extent that they find themselves here.

Also great for getting into the local scene if thats whats desired.

Two months ago I would have called it useless, for other purposes than goofing around with people you already know. (which is useful enough ofc, but for that we really just could use Silly Stuff 😛) But now I've realized it actually is possible to meet new, nice people there. 🙂 Too bad everyone lives so far away though, as usual.

(and if any Scandinavians would read this, I have a solution to that as well: darkside.se 🙂)

I LOVE fetlife 🙂 Ive met lots of people there...in my hometown. I recomend. Add me...aprilmay01 🙂

I like it. It has a lot of interesting groups on there. Like anything else it has alot to do with what you make of it.

 

[TickleMyFancy]

To me it has a confusing layout.

But then again, I only gave it about 5 minutes before I got off the website lol.

 

[cloudgazer2k]

It's been an excellent tool for me. I've met a wide variety of folks, some of which are pretty consistent play partners. I go to the local BDSM club every month or so thanks to Fetlife and the D/FW based groups here. I'd totally recommend it, especially if you are wanting to get more into the public scene.

Lame

I love it to death and I use it more then the TMF. I'm into a lot more then just tickling now. I use it to find events going on in my area, make friends from near and far, find play partners, and promote my fetish modeling. FetLife has helped me with all of that. FetLife is where I found my amazing Sir that I'm playing with right now. He is the best play partner I've had so far and I know it would've been harder to find someone like him of the TMF. I swear I still love the TMF, but I want a lot more during play then just tickling now.

 

[DontAskJusTckle]

I got fet up with it and left.

 

[to_tikle]

I am on Fetlife and I have a love/hate relationship with it really. BUT it really depends on the area/state/region you are in, available and or open play partners and sometimes unless you are willing to travel to munches, fetlife sucks for me...but I must live in the worst tickling region in the country, seriously, in Pittsburgh....born and raised here, love it, but no tickle action. 🙁

 

[sheisgone24]

I like it and will agree with the statements above that it helps to connect to people in world of all things kinky. To be honest, I have made initial contact with like 90% of my tickle friends there too. It's my kinky Facebook.

 

[me4o]

Thanks for the replies everyone 🙂 As I said, I've been talking to a very nice girl, but it's not going anywhere anyway. I did send some messages to girls from around the area, but got no answer. And mind you, I was being very nice, just introducing myself and never mentioning anything about fetishes in particular. So, I don't know, seems like a decent site as a whole, but I think I like the TMF better 🙂

I'm going to completely agree with this!

How do you search, aside from a general one subject line search?

Type in tickling, and thousands of unsorted results come up.

Is there an advanced search by region, city, state, or to weed out guys, the transvestites, etc.

Speaking of Facebook, is there a way to search for interests on Facebook also?

Way back when, if you looked at the various tickling groups, you could search through the members lists (non sorted, they're just a LONG ASS list) but now it doesn't seem like you can even do that....

 

[Mike3355]

Fetlife just reminds me that there is NO ONE in my area into tickling at all...

 

[Red_Feather]

I just signed up recently to check it out. While I doubt it'll lead to me meeting someone local into tickling, I don't really mind that. I went along to a local munch organised on FL yesterday (general kink scene rather than fetishists) and had a really nice time getting to know new people.

So like any website, I guess it depends on what you're looking to get out of it.

 

[Phineas]

Maybe I should just cave in and finally sign up again.

I signed up at one point but quickly left. Correct me if I'm wrong but I get this strong vibe that pretty much everybody, already has somebody to play with and is primarily there as sort of a fetish facebook for the people they already know.

Seems to be little room for dudes like me around there, who are looking to meet new people. But maybe I'm wrong and I didn't give it enough time.

That's the impression of it I got, as well. That, and it's somewhere for women without heads to post their porn shots.

 

[Kittycupcake]

I like it. I've met lovely people on there, heard about events and been to munches and got advice of all kinds. But then I was into other things way before I discovered tickling so TMF is like the new imposter for me 😛

Bingo. if your just into tickling, then Fetlife isnt the way to go.

 

[Artoo]

See, I'm not so sure, Maniac. I've found people in the local BDSM scene and either a) found out they're interested in tickling, or b) converted them to tickling! 😛

I agree with this 100% I've done this a lot too.
