That disappointing phrase...

[ImNotDave]

So about two weeks ago I started talking to a friend-of-a-friend online. Nothing serious, just general chit chat, but over the last two weeks we've got to the stage of talking a lot, about everything and anything, we're getting on really well (or at least it seems), when we got onto the subject of play fighting, and she said:

Her: I'd kick your ass in a wrestling match!
Me: (Deciding to subltly slip this in) Nope! I'd just pin you down and tickle you untill you submitted!
Her: Wouldnt work. I'm not ticklish.
Me: Everybody says that, just so they wont get tickled
Her: Not me, I'm serious. I'm not ticklish.
Me: Not even a little? 😛
Her: Nope. Nothing. I was really ticklish when I was a kid, but I guess I grew out of it. People try to tickle me, and I just sit there and watch them fail.

Anybody else experienced something similar? Or anybody 'grown out' of being ticklish?

I had a girlfriend who was that way. Tickled a lot as a kid, and "turned it off" as a result. I could get a giggle now and then, but that was it. Shame.

LOL... I love this line:

Her: Nope. Nothing. I was really ticklish when I was a kid, but I guess I grew out of it. People try to tickle me, and I just sit there and watch them fail.

But to answer your question, every guy who has told me they weren't ticklish (in person) was proven wrong. 😀

That was back in my youth though... *childhood through college

I have known women who weren't ticklish at all (but said they were in childhood). So it's certainly possible, although, as you say, disappointing.

I'm not ticklish *cough*

Yeah it's always a shame when people say they arent ticklish, and mean it 🙁
Oh well.

 

[Sunriseticklee]

LOL... Not a shame for me. 😀
Then they can focus all their time tickling me!
FUN TIMES!

DOH! Sucks when you run into that situation, doesn't it?

It definitely sucks when you hear "I'm not ticklish". Like seeing a cute kitten and then being told you can't pet it. Suuucks.

A lot of times people don't know how/where they're ticklish. It's easier to find for sure during some physical time together.

But yeah unless you intend to make-out/fondle your friend...

I couldn't have said it better/more hilariously myself. I had a friend who would exchange tie ups with me (she wasn't into it... so I don't know what was her problem haha) that wasn't ticklish and it was no fun 🙁 She told me she wasn't but I figured I have to check this out first hand! Of course, no dice 🙁

 

[oldskool]

Ask her out on a date. If you two hit off, challenge her again. Being tied to a bed, and you searching her entire body is a lot different than people just tickling the normal spots. She could be insanely ticklish on areas that normally people don't go, usually opening up the flood gates to other spots.

NO TOUCH DE PUSSY GATO!!

heh yea. Back when I was an undergrad, there was this really cute girl that I was tryin to get with. One day, while sitting around in the quad, she started tryin to take something from me that I was holding, so I used it as a chance to tickle her (in order to loosen her grip).

Nothing. Not a thing. At that point I pretty much hijacked the entire conversation to focus around that. Even got her to left her arms out so I could try wherever I wanted. I didn't get so much as a bemused smirk. It was a real disappointment, finding that out. lol

A girl you like willingly let's you touch her. A lot. Not a total failure at least.

I'm so shallow (I guess) that the phrase turns me off to a potential mate. Ok for a friend not to be ticklish, but not someone I want to date. It's too important!

That's not shallow. That's knowing what's going to make you happy and what won't. I will never date someone who isn't ridiculously ticklish. Did it once and it made me miserable. Sexuality is incredibly important to well-being. If you're not sexually satisfied then you won't be happy in the long run.

 

[2ticklish2say]

well I was talking to my boyfriend about this the other day trying to hint that tickling really turns me on, and his response was that he's "very very" ticklish, which I've definitely found out, but he HATES to be tickled. Hates it. He literally gets like upset if I tickle him. Soo....there's that end of the spectrum too. Ugh.

 

[ShiningIce]

If she's not ticklish I'm not interested. Peroid.

If I hypnotize you in a bath of baby oil, while wrapped in nylon

Other vellication vocal kisses of death: But we can still be "tickle" friends. It's not (pathetic ticklephile)you, it's me. I need more space( I hear Pluto or whatever they downgraded it to, is nice this time of year. How about that, being banished to a downgarded planet?) Also someone that is ticklish but is a control freak and weilds the power is if anything worse. At least knowing up front, although painful, gives you the information you need!!
