I've decided to say "screw it" in regards to my fetish

I am now being upfront about being into tickling with women I talk to on dating apps. Its not the only kink I have, so I can ease myself into doing this by mentioning tickling among the other stuff I'm into. The cool thing about dating apps is that if they're not into the idea, they can just unmatch and move on. I'm looking forward to seeing where this takes me, as I am getting tired of being so secretive about my fetish.

Has anyone else tried this approach with dating apps? How did it go?

I’ve never had luck with dateing apps, I just met people organically, and usually I’d get a feel as to how they reacted to tickling when things started getting physical enough. Before we became sexually active I’d mention that tickling them turned me on and we sort of just dove in from there. I’m married to someone who accepts it and even likes it. However from my own perspective I never really was keen on the whole dating thing, I come across as awkward if Im not being myself. But who knows? It might work for you. I’ve just found that leading with the tickle fetish too early can scare women off. I wish you the best!
 
It's going to be a lot different for you as a female seeking females. If I did this as a guy seeking a female I probably wouldn't get a date ever. LOL. Even if a lady was into it or thought it was funny she would probably assume I was a weirdo. With that being said, a couple of years ago I sent a message to a lady on a dating site after seeing her profile said "tell me something funny". I figured what the heck and wrote her this, " You said tell me something funny, so here goes, I would love to tickle your feet". We ended up talking for over a month. She was a bit of a flake and would never commit to going on an actual date. I would approach it however you want. Put tickling in your profile or wait until you start talking with someone and mention it in a fun way.

If I am talking with someone I met online I will eventually send them a GIF of a Batman scene where a clown is being tickle tortured on bare feet with a feather and he is locked in the stocks. One lady I was talking with recently replied with all kinds of LOL's and laughing GIF's. Then I said you must have ticklish feet and she replied "a bit". After discussing it further during a phone call she said she isn't really ticklish on her feet but enjoys having her feet rubbed. I personally can't be with someone in a long term relationship if she doesn't have ticklish feet. It's like someone without the fetish never having sex.

I love the idea of going on a few dates with a lady and then at some point she may have her feet in my lap (or I gently lift them up into my lap) and ask the million dollar question but if she isn't ticklish it will be a huge letdown and I know there is no future with her as ridiculous as that sounds. I would rather get an idea of if she is ticklish before meeting.

If I were a female into tickling I would love to see it on your dating profile. I say go for it.

I pretty much just have it on my profile that I'm kinky and if they want to learn more to just ask. I'm not walking around with a neon sign saying I'm into tickling, I'm not on that level of confidence at all yet.

Have you considered Feeld? It's a relatively new app. Focused on kink. I've had good success on it. I don't even bring up tickling in my profile. I just keep it vague and general. "I'm a pleasure dom looking to explore my kinks". And then when I match with someone, I start some dialogue just like any other dating app, before jumping into specific fetishes. In my experience, most gals don't want to be immediately bombarded with "what are your kinks" or "what are you into", but just start with a regular conversation.

The bright side: the tickle kink (at least in my experience here in Texas) is viewed as rather tame or vanilla, and most women are either cool with it, or if they're not, we end it there.

Give it a shot. It's free. But I pay for the annual plan. It's worth it 🙂

You are absolutely right. I'm using the HER app and it let's you have a "Kinky" pin on your profile, but I'm taking out the part inviting people to ask me about my kinks, as I now think that's too forward.
 
It took me awhile to get comfy about it, but after I did, I didn't care anymore. Perhaps it's a maturity thing? Age thing? I never really sat and thought about it. I just grew tired of being nervous about it so much.
 
Online dating sucks today. Much worse than when it was growing in popularity in my generation (90s, 00s, etc.). We had Plenty of Fish, OKCupid, Match, EHarmony. Tinder came a little later.

As others said, I can't imagine what your experience will be like. You're a relatively cute looking girl so who knows. For an average dude like me, it was already enough of an uphill battle anyway getting women to respond. Dropping the ball that I enjoy feet and tickling as well led to instant ghosting or being blocked. I never really revealed it to anyone, but I did, after getting to know women a little bit, ask them questions about being ticklish, and it went wrong many more times than it went right.

Online dating is really demoralizing. Good luck to you though.
 
A lot of dating apps are scammy, but there are some sites and apps that have pretty thorough questionnaires that sometimes involve kink questions. I remember seeing some questions like that on OKCupid back in the day. Sites or apps that have the questionnaire format might be an easier way to cover certain interests without having to do trial and error on a first date.
 
It's hard to say what you're experience will be like. A lot of those apps are used for hookups, so... it could be frustrating in that regard. But, either way, the experience will differ vastly between men and women. In a lot of those apps and sites, the algorithm is that way on purpose.
All I can do is wish you luck.
I tried that approach back in 2004 and it was an absolute nightmare, then again in 2019 where it was almost 3 years before I got a response from anyone and even then, it wound up not working out in the end. But, again, my experience is not going to be anywhere near what yours will be. It's one of those things where you might try it out for a few months and see what the results yield. If you're striking out already, then trying something different can't make it worse. Maybe it's what you need to get a hit.

I've learned recently that I'm into the idea of being a mommy dom to a man, and I'd like to incorporate tickling into that. I'm already talking to a guy on Tinder who is open to trying it. The only luck I have had with a woman so far was one who wanted me to have sex with her boyfriend. Ugh lol.
 
Takes a lot to even consider embracing the term 'Mommy', let alone 'Mommy DomME'. Consider your own abilities and knowledge as well as theirs before even thinking of stepping into a role like that. It takes much more work and is not just a throw away label.

Well, obviously. I'm not going to into it blind. I've been reading up on it and I'm open about the fact that I'm new to the idea and still learning. I'm also planning on having more in depth conversations with the men I'm talking to about their likes and dislikes, what they want to be called, what they enjoy as far as praise, whether or not they like to be punished, how they would like to be punished, whether or not they enjoy degradation, etc. Also ofc establishing a safeword. Also, thank you for being pedantic about my use of dom and not domme. 😂

If you ever wanted to compare notes or thoughts about the dom dynamic, feel free to shoot me a DM. Pleasure doms (what I am) and mommy doms might be a bit different, but they share alot of similar elements. (And don't sweat the spelling of the word 'dom') 😊

So I've done this before in the past, and it's worked out well enough. But when I did it, it was literally like one line about seeking "bad bitches with ticklish feet" and not elaborating until they asked, or we both made it apparent that sex was on the table.

I think a lot of people hear "bring it up on apps" and get the idea to like make it it's entire section, or make it blatantly obvious that you're on there at least partially seeking fetish hookups, find that doesn't work, and get frustrated.

Is it better to put up our Wangus?
 
I did that a lot when I was more active with sugar babies. It's a low percentage hit rate, but when you connect with a woman who has a submissive tickling fetish, it is the most incredible thing in the world.

YES. A thousand times yes. Put it OUT there.

Tickling is HOT. Do it enjoy it and if they aren’t into it forget them and move on. This is what we should ALL do.
