Now that there are 41,000 of us...

[FeatherHeart22]

It seems that we have quite a pool of potential couples. I'm fortunate enough to have discovered a soulmate (I won't bother spelling out the pun) but what about the rest of you? With a potential database the size of a small town, (and all over 18...) surely the awesomely clever Jeff can work on importing some software which will act as a TMF Dating Forum? A version of 'Match.com' could be exactly what this site needs.
...
Any thoughts on this?

Sounds like a good idea .

Does sound interesting, I must admit. But as has already been said, 41000 is a huge exaggeration on the actual amount of people who are really around that would be interested in such a thing.
Maybe someone could start a quick poll now, just to get an indication of who would be interested. Then in a couple of months, say just after christmas, there would be a better indication of who would like to be involved.
Just a thought anyway.

I think it's a really good idea, knowing the moderators here I don't think there would be a huge problem weeding out the serious seekers from the potential stalkers...of course with any internet dating there is the potential for a sicko here and there...I actually toyed with this idea from time to time when I had my tickling groups...I found myself providing advice to both lers and lees male and female on what a dater with a tickling fetish is looking for...everything from a fling to something more promising...it's all fun until someone gets stalked...then it's more fun...just kidding,lol.

I'm personally not looking but am available to help in any way I am needed. 🙂

Since no one lives near me and there are few women the idea is almost depressing.

 

[theniteavenger]

hmm that sounds like a good idea but like with any good idea there are a million loose ends but if it ever did work out i would be game

Just saw this thread. We need to make this happen, I think.

 

[devilsadvocate]

Personally i think itd be a good idea. but wouldn't it just be easier to add a special chatroom? Mods check id's and motivations at the door, monitor whats going on? seems easier than setting up a huge database. Ideas seem good though, but it just kind of reminds me of the lost world where one of the guys said "his visions grew larger, grander and as such became unattainable". theres my 2 cents, but i do think itd be a great idea.

 

[crydun]

I"m all for it.

Now that NEST is on the way...

Would it not be a good time to revive this thread, and perhaps have a quick symposium on the subject when we meet in Philadelphia? MTP Jeff and a great many of the Movers and Shakers in the Community will be present- I'm sure we can get things started. Any comments, people?

41,000 you say?

Wow, thats like a small Island Nation or something.

Such a lovely idea, hope it comes to fuition as there are a lot of great people hanging around the forum and for a few to hook up, be lovely and then we can all read about their tickling stories in the 'True Stories' section...

Bring it on

I'd say that if it can be done relatively inexpensively it would be worth a shot. If it turns out to get a lot of participation, then perhaps more time and effort can be invested for improvements.

 

[ovation]

I had been wondering for quite some time now whether a tickle dating site existed, I believe it would be an excellent idea.

It has been mentioned that the male to female ratio is somewhat unbalanced - which is true - but perhaps with a legitimate dating site/facility more women would get involved, especially with the right sort of vetting processes to keep out the weirdo's. I'm sure the Mods would have a good idea as to who some of them are already! So I say go for it, only can we make it global as I'm stuck over here on a liddy biddy Island miles from the big scene you guys appear to have stateside. 😉

 

[Myriads]

There have been two attemepts at creating a 'tickling dating site' in the last half decade.

Both went down in flames. The first from zero use and bad code. The second from having a 1000:1 male to female ratio.

Currently our personals and such seem to be the best out there that is tickling specific. Adult Friend Finder can function decently for finding other folks, but it's a pay service and a crap shoot.

I'm sure that a dating site could be coded and added to the TMF, but lets be honest. It would quickly become something more akin to a tickling hook up service. And not long after that, a tickling for pay from savy escorts site. 50K people seems like a lot. But spread over the nation, and planet it's still far too lite to support a specialty dating site in my opinion.

Gotta agree with the boss here (and if I didn't I wouldn't comment cause I like being on the forum), but I think gatherings and the personals is peorbably the best way to go about things.

I can see some difficulties in any relationships forming. I mean first is distance. Who really has free time to visit someone in lower eastern Africa? Second is the internet stigma of nothing being real. I mean look at my quote down there. Third...info is kinda open to everyone... And those weirdos...they always get someone. Finally are we really the same in electronic type form as in real life? I know i'm not. No one would ever listen to this if I was speaking. Dead fuckin serious.

But if you can avoid all those hurdles...go for it. It's not to late for you all...

Actually, that's over a year old. We're well past 50,000 now.
