text: why do guys love tickling and poking girls so much? so..i have a best guy friend whose always tickling me and poking me...and he has a gf but shes my friend so it's nothing to worry about..but i was just wondering..why do you guys love doing that?! i mean...i've noticed with a lot of otherguys too..  especially with me cuz im this innocent, sweeet, tend to get shy, loving, caring, constantly laughing and smiling for no reason at all, ticklish giggly type of girl..(but im not girly girly!)  anyways, back to the point. whyy!? because they like you and want to touch you. and tickling is the most innocent disguise they can give it.
