This forum has the personals section. Has anyone had any success from using that forum?

This question pops up semi regularly. The same people pop in and say the same things, so I'll summarize (These are my own interpretations and not necessarily what other people have said. I am not criticizing anyone here):
(The following is in regard to relationships).
Most people say no, they are not effective.
A very select few say yes but typically also include that you'll have much better luck elsewhere on the forums or at local gatherings. Usually the people that have met others through this forum suggest going to gatherings and meeting others on the forum in that way (though they also advise not to expect anything out of it).
A few people also suggest Fetlife rather than these forums as you're more likely to find others looking for relationships. The flip side is that you probably won't find someone directly into tickling, but well, whatever. So long as they're willing to try.
Some suggest other online dating sites. OKCupid comes up and I think another (Eharmony maybe?).
(As for non-relationships~)
It's a good way to find/set up paid sessions, although some locations are pretty bleak in other interested individuals (you'll find that the majority of people posting there are male and a lot but not all are 'lers).
Very rarely I'll see posts for mutually beneficial (no money exchanges hands, no strings attached) tickle sessions but pretty rarely and I'm not sure how often they've successfully panned out.
TL;DR: The direct answer to your question is yes, people have had success. Like I said, though, I believe most of the relationships that have formed over the TMF were not through the personals. That said, I would be impressed if more than 1% of the people on the forums have successfully begun a relationship solely through the forums, though I'd believe up to 5% (sounds high but whatever). You probably won't have luck but that certainly isn't a reason to not try, and definitely engage in social-ness elsewhere if you're looking for something like that here.

Define success? I've met up with another TMFer for tickling because of the personals. But are you looking for a soulmate or a tickle session?

I think the personals are a great reference tool and are a bit like a classified ad - post in that section exactly what/who you want and it serves as a reference, but I think the best chance of getting 'success' is by just joining in, chatting, adding/making friends, PMing people you think you might get on with with a nice message etc etc - most peoples profiles state their preferences just as well as a personals ad
even with personals, the chances are that anyone who sees your post will want to go through the process of getting to know you a bit anyway, so you may as well adopt all the other methods as well.
Even someone like myself, who is looking for some more tickle-meets, does not check the personal section that often, nor do I trust in the people that post their as much as those that I know from seeing posts elsewhere in the forum.
As a footnote, the most meaningful relationship I have formed through TMF was with someone who wasn't even into tickling, but had signed up in order to embrace her partner's fetish. I contacted her as I felt her post and profile matched the criteria I was looking for in terms of new tickle friends - it turned out she was not into tickling, or with the partner anymore, but we struck up a lasting friendship that I value to this day

I think it goes without saying on any social media platform (forums even more so), that you'll have to put the effort into getting to know people to actually finding something successful out of it. I'm a very new user here, and the personals was where I went immediately. I think that's expected. But the more you get used to the forum, I suppose the easier it'll be. 🙂
At least, that's what I'm hoping.

I've got what I wanted from any personals I've made so I'm gonna say yes. Although all i ever looked for was play.
I think you'll find that the personals section is mostly men looking for women. Women, hounded though they usually are, aren't often completely shut off from the idea of that sort of thing (although I wouldn't blame them the way they get hassled) but for the reasons I've bracketed, they usually don't want to make it common knowledge that they are up for play so rather than posting a response, they simply PM the poster. So that's likely why almost every personal ad looks unanswered and failed in my opinion.

As a male placing an ad will get you nowhere. As a female placing an ad will get your inbox flooded. I met my girlfriend on here but not through the personals. Just see posts that interest you and someone may catch your eye. Strike up a conversation and treat the other person like an actual human being instead of a tickle toy, and you'd be surprised at the success that may occur.
I used the personals section back in....2004 maybe (under a different name back then). And yeah, I definitely had my fair share of responses. But, I happened to randomly message someone on here this year, and it worked out rather well. Get to know someone first as a friend. After some time, who knows...maybe they will want to be your tickle toy. 😉
