Just wondering: wouldn't it be easier for her just to say yes or no?

I first want to say it's not me who has been asking "the question" of Mickie James on Twitter. Certainly thought about it, but never did. But I just googled "Mickie James" "twitter" "ticklish" to see if anyone else has asked her. Someone has, more than a couple times too it sounds like.

Wonders when your gonna stop posting this question.. Quit being a creep! RT @Kechuzzz: @mickiejamesdiva Mickie are your feet ticklish? 😀 🙂

Now, one could say "take a hint, she's not going to answer, leave her alone". Her prerogative, obviously. But when this happens to celebs, someone persistently asking a harmless, albeit odd, question...I wonder do they ever consider "maybe if I just answer they'll go away"? I remember reading Gail Kim say that a guy kept asking all the women wrestlers that question (maybe the same guy?), and she wouldn't answer him either (although she did answer the interviewer when he asked after she brought it up, so if the original person read that interview he got his answer from her anyway LOL) But am I the only one wondering, have they ever considered answering and maybe he'll go away, instead of "I'm not going to answer, go away!" over and over again?

Probably doesn't want to deal with the thousands of follow-up questions that would likely ensue.

And who's to say the question will ever stop even if they do answer it? Besides, that's her business, isn't it? Also, she's a wrestler, not a fetish model.

If you answer a creep, he will never stop bothering you. That's just the way it is.

 

[TheTickleMonster]

She answers yes, he'll ask "Does she like to have them tickled?" "Do people tickle them often?" Perhaps, "Does sucking on them tickle?" Answering yes could lead to a lot of other questions... I'm guessing since she didn't want to answer, the answer is probably yes and is worried about other tickling questions if she answers yes and she doesn't want to lie and say no. I can imagine that if they weren't she probably would have just said no and that woulda been then end of that.. although the answer might be no and she just thinks it's a really weird question and doesn't want to answer the creep.

Didn't she used to be a fetish model?

In addition to what's already been pointed out, I would guess also that they correctly sense that it's not actually a simple, harmless question.

The persistence and/or the phrasing of the question (I've noticed a lot of people who do this, not coincidentally I'm sure, lack the ability to ask people about their ticklishness in a non-creepy way) probably sends a signal to them that there's a huge creep factor involved, and that they aren't just innocently being asked about their ticklishness, they're being asked to contribute to some socially-awkward person's spank bank.

If the words "over and over" are a recurring theme in one's thought process; its time to reevaluate one's sense of decorum.

Well to me that's still harmless, admittedly odd to a vanilla person but harmless. "Could you tell me if your feet are ticklish? It would really enhance my sexual fantasizing about you" is in essence what's being asked, but it is harmless in that it's not hurting her. He's not asking to tickle her feet, attempting to tickle her feet, threatening to tickle her feet. It's still just an admittedly odd but harmless question.

I'm not condoning harassing her with the question. If he's going to ask, do it once and respect her wishes if she doesn't answer. If she's a vanilla person she doesn't know anything about a tickling fetish. How would she anticipate more questions about her ticklishness if she answers yes? To me that's a bit of a reach. As far as she knows this guy just really wants to know if her feet are ticklish and maybe he'll go jack off and leave her alone if she answers him. But that's just me wondering out loud. I don't care enough either way to get into this discussion any further. My question has been answered, thanks.

I think the way you just put it is a million times less creepy than trying to act like it's a casual, off the cuff question. I bet if you put it that way, a lot of famous girls would laugh, shake their heads, and then answer.

She did pose for some foot fetish pictures back in the day, prior to her career in the WWE.

Building on what's already been said (rather eloquently by Jeff), think about it; if she says yes, then her answer will immediately fly like wildfire through the entirety of the tickling community. Her response'll get posted in the Ticklish Celebrities section and/or Mainstream, heck, maybe even here in Tickling Discussion, prompting every nutter with a hard-on for her to track her down for followup questions or spank themselves silly over her answer because OHMIGAWD I HAD TO KNOW AND NOW SHE IS!

Plus, look at it this way; by asking this question you're essentially implying that it'll just be easier for her to do what you want her to do than to open herself up to harassment by not complying. If that doesn't ring your creeper alarm, you need help.

 

[chicago]

Just because she's vanilla (which we have no idea of) doesn't mean she doesn't know that tickling is a turn on. I mean how many episodes of Howard Stern had that damn chair in it?

And even if she isn't aware of the tickling thing, foot fetishes are nothing new and everyone is aware of those. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize incessant questions about feet / tickling are probably not so innocent.

 

[TicklesXXX]

Never heard of that woman...

 

[shaolindog]

She probably knows about the fetish and maybe she isn't cool with it. A lot of women aren't. and this is why I just don't buy into the pornstars that answer how super ticklish they are on twitter. They know about the fetish and there just trying to increase there fan base. I don't really see why it matters to ask anyway. I'll never get the chance to tickle any of these women but in my fantasies they can be as ticklish as I want.

Exactly. Answering a fetish related question might lead to 100 more questions, or even to being stalked.
