On the other hand if you do some research and go spend some time in the woods near reported sightings your chances of seeing said Bigfoot increase considerably...
Having tens of thousands of members is a bit misleading here. Of those tens of thousands how many post regularly? How many attend munches and gatherings or, for that matter, are even looking for wuv? If it's a four figure number I'd be surprised.
Basically, if you're after a relationship, treat the TMF as a starting point only. Get to know people by their posts by all means but start talking by PM or by IM, then get yourself out there into the real world. Munches, gatherings, heck even normal social events like going to the movies - these are the ways you really get to know people and see if there's something there worth building on. Be patient, take things easy and aim to make friends. If something more lurks beneath the surface then it'll make itself known in due time.
This is interesting. I have always thought sort of the same thing in regards to the number of people on the forum. It says we have in the tens of thousands... I have always wondered if some of them were bots. With the exception of Ohio, I think the best bet for meeting someone in the tickling community is on the east or west coast. But those regions are so vast that I guess there could be a distance issue even if you both live on the same coast.
