I think it would be totally awesome! I would probably be discreet about letting them know that we had a common interest for the sake of possibility becoming close with our mutual interest. Whether it was a male or female, I would want to hear about their experiences and share mine. I did have a male friend waaaaaaaay back when I was single and whoring around that was into tickling girls waists. He didn't seem too interested in tickling them any where else, but that was ok with me. I loved tickling feet and pits the most so we made a mean tickling team! 😛 At the time, I was renting a house and we both had 4X4s and ATCs. (remember them?) We went to Pismo beach dunes in central Ca. all the time and had a lot of young girls (of age!) that wanted to go with us. When we'd get back we would hang out at my house and watch MTV back when they really had music videos, and just chill. Of course, it wouldn't take too long before tickling would erupt! Ahhhhh, those were the days!
But, unfortunately, he was about the only one I can remember who I knew that had even an interest in tickling. Not to say there isn't someone here that I know, but don't know from their screen name.
