NEST Male To Female Ratio

[Tickler Bart]

I was just wondering . . .
What is the male To Female Ratio?
Just curious. No real reason.

 

[Libertine]

It's like clubbing, Bart....

I was just wondering . . .
What is the SINGLE male To Female Ratio?
Just getting emotionally & mentally ready for what is to come.
Do I have a shot at tickling some sweet bare soles or luscious armpits?

Or hitting a bar, or walking in the park. NEST is not specifically a pickup joint. Like anywhere else, similar interests do not necessarily lead to an affair. Personality is a strong factor, and so is luck. Concentrate on simply socialising, with no other agenda, and your chances of 'connecting' will be far greater.

I Get Really Tired Of Saying This Guys

It absolutely does not matter how many of each sex are at NEST. It's the rare NEST 'lee that only enjoys the attentions of one 'ler for the duration of the event, most of us play with several gentlemen before the party's done. If you're a cool, intelligent gent and ladies want to be tickled by you, you'll be very popular no matter the ratio.

(And if you're not as busy as you'd like don't blame the numbers, that's not it and you know it 😉 )

Well said Bella. That makes a lot of sense and I know I'm planning to go to meet friends and should I do any tickling or vice versa, then it's an added bonus.

 

[LeeAllure]

The first NEST was 8 guys, some married, some single.
The second NEST was about 15 guys and me.

If meeting other people into tickling, having a good
time, making friends, (Long lasting friends, in my case)
and being open about tickling is important to you, then
you should go to the gatherings, no matter where they
are, and no matter who goes.

If you're looking for a date, look on a personals site.

I've *never* had a bad NEST. Saying goodbye to old and
new friends (I make more every year) is just as heart-
wrenching now as it was then.

NEST is the best time I have all year.

It can be the best time you have too, if you're not
so narrow minded that you set yourself up to fail.

I read somewhere that all the ladies at NEST love it when guys walk around and stare at them like they're "yummy 'lil hamburgers."


...Although I may have gotten that wrong...

 

[Tickler Bart]

Apparently I was misunderstood.
I was NOT implying that I am looking for 'DATES' or a girlfriend.
Even though I've done it in the past, I feel uncomfortable tickling someone that is married or in a relationship.
I just wanted to feel more at ease.
Tickling is a very emotional thing to me & want to enjoy myself this year.
Believe me I am NOT looking to 'Hook Up'.
As usual my thoughts are misinterpreted.
How do I delete this thread?

 

[Floydie]

Don't fret over this thread, Bart. The posters make some important points in general and it can only be a good thing for people to read them, especially those who are new to NEST.

Bart, we all know you are a true gentleman! I am sure your words won't be misunderstood.

[BellaRisa]

No one misunderstood you, Bart. You asked about the ratio of single males to females because you want to know how much of a shot you have to tickle someone. The answer is that you'll have a shot if the NEST ladies that you'd be comfortable tickling want to be tickled by you, no matter what the ratio is.

The thread doesn't need to be deleted, it's a valid one and some very good and useful points have been noted

I'll echo Lisha's comments here, Bart. Don't sweat it.

The responses are likely as much a result of the MANY guys we've been dealing with who've expressed a desire to find love at NEST...some of whom haven't been as reasonable as you. We're all pretty much on auto pilot right now when anyone (even someone like yourself whom we know is cool about things) asks "the question". No matter how many times we address it on the site and in posts, the question still gets asked. Rest assured, it's not just you.

Now, on to your original question. I haven't counted the exact numbers. But, the overall ratio of men to women on the final guest list is 71 to 34. About a dozen married/engaged couples are included in that count. Three of those couples were married this year alone. There are also several other married men who come to NEST solo. BTW..most (if not all) of the couples met through the TK community in general where the "odds" are much more difficult.

AFA people to play with, The above statements are actually pretty accurate. Most, if not all, of us gals are open to playing with anyone we find friendly enough to feel comfortable with. I THINK I'm safe is saying that we tend to put friendship first when choosing play partners. So, getting to know folks as friends should always be the primary goal. If you get to enjoy some tickles after that, more power to you. I don't pay much attention to ratio. It's not very likely that any guy is going to have a long one-on-one session during the formal gathering. But, I've personally had as many as 30 guys go at me in a single drawn out session...at my first NEST, no less. 😀

I've never been to NEST but I think the numbers are a factor. It would be hard to get to talk to any of the 30 some odd women when there are seventy some odd other men all trying to get to them first. Yes most women will spend time with several men but if there are men who are also only willing to tickle women they like (and yes some men do have standards too, were not all crazed perverts.) it could be very difficult. GOOD LUCK TO ALL.

You could, you know, talk to *gasp* other guys? It's not a buffet...

This is not what NEST is about,and if someone goes there with the idea that it is,they might just as well stay home and save their money....

Ya I guess that's an option but the guy who started the thread was wondering what his chances were of getting more of a hands on experence and someone said the numbers maded no difference and maybe they don't, but I think they might. Like I said I've never been so pardon my ignorance. And FYI I happen to like buffets.

 

[Spenser]

'kay, I'll join this thread. I am bringing one of the "yummy 'lil hamburgers."
up to NEST. But my wife would probably prefer being thought of as a delightful gazelle, or at least a good perch filet.

She does enjoy having select guys engage in tickle play with her at gatherings (and sometimes she admitedly even needs the practice). And she even has some favorite guys who are the good toe ticklers that she's met at NEST. She also does tend to make a point to notice guys who are not engaging or beiing engaged in the social activity too much. So many of us do try to honestly outreach to folks who are new to this real time social party activity of tickling and fetish behavior. And darn-it M and I are crazed perverts, and proud to say it took us years of hard practice and dedication to get there.

My one warning is that she [is a true Switch and] can be a really cruel Tickler herself- on her other Domme side!

Spenser,
uh huh, it's time to bring on the party..

LOL Spenser! I love perch! You're making me hungry! I think Drew would prefer the yummy lil hamburger though.

As for time to bring on the party... AMEN TO THAT!!! I sooooo need this right now! God, I hope we can make it!!!

[apacer3]

I'll probably be one of the more quiet and reserved newbies. But hopegfully I'll meet some friendly people and get to be tickled. Looking forward to it

 

[He-Man]

...Although I may have gotten that wrong...

What about when a guy is tied up and he's looking at the female ler/lers with the "oh shit, i'm dead, i'm dead, i'm dead..." expression...do the ladies love that? If so, then I'll have to get to NEST one day, so the women can see that expression on me.

 

[ViperGTS]

*shakes head*

Hamburgers.

Oh what a night.

 

[tklmaestro]

I had to get over this ratio thing a long time a go. Who cares about ratios ! I'm just going there to have fun ,meet new people and take in the sights and sounds of a real live NEST gathering. Who needs anything else ?

 

[drew70]

I personally haven't had issues with Male to Female ratio. The key to a good time at NEST is to minimize your expectations, and just let the fun happen spontaneously. Don't let your good times hinge on whether or not you get some action.

Last year, along with hooking up with old friends like Milagros, Venray, Spenser, and RChello, I met several awesome people for the first time, to include Feathery, lk70, Tickler Bart, Ticklishgiggle, and TickleJen. This year, I look forward to meeting even more people.

NEST rocks!

And this year you'll also get to meet your favorite bleeding-heart liberal from the politics board!

LOL. Hey, I'm a firm believer in leaving all the politics, arguments, disagreements, etc. here on the forum. Though politcal viewpoints may estrange us, our mutual enfatuation with tickling unites us. I sincerely look forward to meeting you!

And likewise, it will be a pleasure to meet you there too, Drew.
