Guys I can tell you the pickings here locally are very scarce.
It may certainly seem that way, but I just participated in
a discussion over at FetLife in which I advanced a modified
Drake Equation (and Drake is a fellow Cornell alum, I hasten to add--
of course) in support of my contention that in fact straight female 'lees, and ticklephiles in general, are probably much more numerous than we realize, likely one or two right in your own neighborhood. The problem, of course, is that an infinitesimal number of these, especially ones of my older generation, ever hang out online in places like our cherished TMF or are even aware they exist, and even if they venture onto Match.com or eHarmony few of them are intrepid enough to openly mention their fetish, any more than they are in RL.
We live in a farm house that's been pretty much renovated from top to bottom and fortunately we don't live near any farms (I could never stand the smell of fertilizer that wafts from other farms in the morning).
But that, or the delightful olfactory sensations of a skunk scent wafting through the fog of a chilly fall morning, is the very aroma of rural life! Or maybe I just became inured to it growing up in farm country smack dab in the middle of a God-forsaken remote Upstate area probably even more isolated than where you live.
LOL. Both me and my GF went to Ithaca Highschool but neither of us went to collage unfortunately (as we came from lower income middle-class families so we could never afford it).
Sorry to hear, and that you guys apparently never were privy to a dirty little secret of U.S. college education, which is that very often the availability of financial aid rises in proportion to a college or university's tuition. Me, I was able to get a free ride three out of my four years at Cornell, and I know well the whole rigamarole since I currently have one kid in college and another warming up in the bullpen. Thank goodness for all the aid resources, or I'd probably have to start doing a Walter White to get my hands on more cash (I don't look good in yellow anyway).
