For starters, do not PM a girl specifically to talk about tickling.
Good, simple advice. That's a given, but it seems that most guys on here forget that.
I guess it's natural to
assume that with so many people (mostly males) on this internet fetish website that most of them suffer from a lack of social skills. The same thing applies online and offline. You really need to know how to start a conversation... about things other than tickling. Yes, you're on the
Tickling Forum, but I'm sure you have other interests. Tickling is just one slice of the pie. Remember those things? Other interests? No? You don't have any and think about tickling 24 hours a day? Oh OK, then you're hopeless! Just kidding. I'm on the Tickling Forum, but I'm also on countless other forums about countless other things. None of them are a bigger part of me than the others. If you're looking for a quick hookup or a tickling session, try Alt.com, Craigslist, or Fetlife. Obviously there's no guarantee anyway (unless you're planning to pay), because nobody knows much about you, but you likely won't find it here.
I've been a part of the TMF for nearly a decade now (2001, I think), and I've met
a lot of 'lees on here over the years (in person, without going to a single gathering and with no plans to), including probably the best (and most ticklish) one I've ever met... literally, almost one year ago to the day. I've gotten my fill of tickling from her over the past year, and she's actually become one of my best friends (which is worth 100x more than a tickling partner). The conversations had nothing to do with tickling (on AIM and then when we started meeting in person), and I had no expectation of bringing it up. I enjoyed her company and getting to know the person she was (since we have A LOT in common!)... and then
she brought it up to
me. (I'll never forget that moment at the end of the night after dinner where she made her decision and said "I want you to tickle me" in the sweetest voice.)
You already KNOW that you both have tickling in common, so it's the OTHER part of your social skills that you need to work on. Start getting to know others that have similar interests to you (aside from tickling). I guess you either have it or you don't, because if you're holding your breath for the moment you can ask how ticklish every spot on her foot is, you can see through it. I see too many males complaining about never "getting a chance" to tickle somebody, and I really don't have much sympathy, because they can do something to change that. Nobody can be
that hopeless, but I digress.
If you're not willing to put in that time, then don't be surprised and start crying that no ticklish female is going to put in the time on you. And for the ones that do (online) right away, in many cases, it's a lonely male on the other side of your computer screen.
😉 So have fun getting aroused by talking to somebody just like yourself.
If you want to just start talking tickling, JUMP THE FUCK IN! You don't have to be shy on here. You're on a forum dedicated to tickling, and there are hundreds of threads about it. Build up your reputation and let people get to know you. Then, they'll start PM'ing YOU! But again, that takes time (it could take months and even years), so if you're looking for a quick tickle, log off and try another site (or if you're in a larger city, you can pay for that sort of thing).
Otherwise, when you're going out on a date or meeting somebody, stop being so fucking obsessed with tickling. Seriously. Everybody. My tickling fetish is a significant part of me just like the next guy (or girl), but I've never had a problem bringing up a tickling fetish on a date, because I've learned the right time, right place and the
right way to talk about it, and once you've actually built up the relationship to that point, women become very receptive of it - at least in my experience. Most of them actually began to enjoy it themselves, even if it wasn't a fetish of theirs. Again, there are no guarantees, but since none of us are perfect, you end up "liking" a person's flaws to "put up" with the other 95% of them that you really love. It's not rocket science... it's actually common sense. While a tickling fetish might be "weird" to some people (at first), once they get to know you better aside from it and like everything else about you, it's much more "acceptable" and not as crazy to them.
So... you can stop complaining and actually do something about it, or just try another site.
