Well, first off, I'm mainly a 'Lee. I do fantasize about tickling women (I would never, ever, EVER tickle a man, I do not like */m tickling, never have, I just do not like seeing men being all submissive) but I never got the chance.
Second, being by society's definitions, ugly, I have absolutely no right to judge people by looks. Do I? Occastionally - mostly I find the people that other people think are beautiful, ugly - IE: Paris Hilton, Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, etc. To me, Leo DiCaprio is one of the most hidious men on earth.
I'm more attracted to the mind and personality then looks. Though I do admit there's certain male looks that gets my motor going really hard. Even as a little kid I had a preference for men who were built on the slender side - Mr. Spock, Data, Barry Manilow, etc. And men with big noses, Mr. Spock, Data, Alan Rickman, Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, Barry Manilow, etc. Also I prefer a man who's at least a little bit taller then me - though if he towers over me all the better (like say Ryan Styles) - and men much older then me.
That last is the most important. I do not want to date, be tickled by, or be anything other then casual friends with a guy 30 or younger. I just am not attracted to such men. I find they're just not mature enough mentally to stimulate me. I feel like I'm babysitting.
So other then the age thing, the looks don't really matter. You could be The Phantom Of The Opera for all I care. I have no right to judge and if you get my mind going, then that's all I need in the long run to be attracted to you.
As for women - eh, she just has to be ticklish and willing to be tied up and tickled, and allow me to bring her to orgasm. Though I still haven't gotten a chance to do it or get tickled by a woman. *heavy sighs* And I really, really want to.
For both genders though, they must - MUST bathe regularly. They have to smell nice! No massive BO, no reeking of urine or feces, no just plain looking dirty, no greasy hair. I'm almost obsessive about how I smell. I've been known to scrub areas that are likely to stink until they're raw. I do not want to be around someone who smells like they've been rolling in a pig trough.
