Uh, TTD, maybe you haven't experienced this in your copious events, brother, but over the last 5 years, I have. Every event there are women who would gladly tickle a man who volunteered, and many events go by with no man volunteering. I've volunteered, myself, and I don't even LIKE being tickled.
Where there seems to be only a few who will do so there, there are more than a few that will do so here. Were I able to GUARANTEE such to the women attending, I would get more women. That's not speculation, brother. That's what's been told to me, by a number of these women.
I'm not the only man that can illustrate this. Yes, it's rarer to see, but a lot of this is due to the fact that /m tickling has been maligned. Yes, this interest seems to be predominantly male. OTOH, how many women do you NEED to be tickling you? In a gathering, if you have one woman willing to "perform the services" you could always line up, brother. You do so for movies, don't ya?
At a certain point, consider whether you'd rather line up for a movie, or a female 'ler. If you're a man wanting such attention, EVENTUALLY, you'll DECLARE your interest to your gatherings host, and volunteer to be tickled by the women. Few MEN do. I've NEVER had an event where a man volunteered, and no women would tickle him. Never. Don't 'spect that I will, either.
Oh, and this interest isn't a fetish. Fetishes require an interest in an inanimate object. A 'lee ain't generally inanimate, y'know? It's closer to a paraphilia, if I recall correctly, but it's more an interest with sexual aspects, or for some, a sexual focus.
TTD, brother, come out and visit! There's women here that'd take care of ya. You can flop at my house, man. Visit for New Years, and have some of the women here see how long you can last getting tickled. Try it daily, and see if you improve! 😉 Seriously, if you're having misfortune in your events, count it as atypical, as there ARE women who'll do such. Sure, there ain't as many of 'em online and responding, but who's encouraging them. Help encourage 'em. Don't dissuade the notion due solely to locational misfortune. Female 'lers abound, many of whom will switch from 'lee to 'ler in a proper setting.
If they do it here, on the left coast, it's GOTTA be there on the right. Just gotta look for it.
