Male Ticklees and Female Ticklers

[indivision]

I was just wondering, has anyone noticed any unique personality traits in male ticklees and female ticklers? I ask this because it seems that most males in the tickling community lean towards the 'ler side, while most of the females lean towards the 'lee end of the spectrum.

So, since male 'lees and female 'lers are somewhat of a minority, has anyone noticed any unique personality traits or character traits in them?

I don't know much about the subject, but I would wager that many male ticklees are probably not very concerned with appearing tough or macho. That's not to say that all male ticklees are wimps, and it's also not intended to say that all men are overly concerned with such things.

Then again, I just found out about this niche through my husband, who is a male ticklee. While he's not a wimp, he also doesn't obsess over appearing tough and macho.

Alway been something that I've wondered about too.

I pride myself on being a lee and ler. I do enjoy being tickled probably a bit more than tickling somebody.
However I am quite passionate about maintaining my masculinity; but not to the point of an obsession.
For instance I am obsessively physically competitive with other men. In the gym I can push myself to the point of regurgitation just to show off or because I feel too wimpy to not go that far.
I believe in taking care of myself as well. I could probably do the whole Patrick Bateman monologue from American Psycho here 😉.
But I don't believe muscles are all of what defines masculinity. Intelligence, confidence, wisdom, compassion, maturity and strength are all major ingredients.

Favoring my lee side does every now and then leave doubts in my head that any women consider me attractive or appealing. I try to balance it all out but in the end I just embrace the fact that I love being tickled, and I love being a man.

Point is I love being a lee but am somewhat defensive of my masculinity.
