“The Ick” #3

[Spacemonkey1972]

I was seeing a bloke and we’d been dating a while. I stayed over and he brushed his teeth. And started wretching. And didn’t stop. I thought. Nerves. But no. Every time he brushed his teeth he gagged. I just couldn’t. Lying in bed listening to him make cat with hair ball noises. Ick!!

Men. Just men in general.
Seriously considering changing my tinder search to women right now

Had one who, in the very early days, I spotted he kept my sweet wrappers and hair from my hairbrush.
He kept them beside his bed.
He also kept an ankle sock of mine and told me he'd hold it of an evening.
I was properly ikked out and still shudder when I think about it.

On a first date (we matched on Tinder) he was showing me something on his phone and he got a Bumble notification and it gave me the ick that he felt the need to be on more than one dating app

I had one man (raging narcissist) send me screenshots of his home screen showing notifications of Tinder matches telling me how in demand he was

I feel like I would give people the ick with the way I cross the road, if someone else did it I’d be like ew and I know that sounds ridiculous hahahah I give myself the ick with how I have to turn my whole body both ways to see what’s coming, I can’t just turn my head every time I do it I’m like wtf

HAHAHA. Oh my god, I'm dead. I was thinking to myself the other day that I probably give other people the ick with my road crossing habits as well. I saw someone mention previously the "awkward run across the road" when someone stops for you. I ALWAYS do that, plus a lame little "thank you" wave as I jog on past. And if I've got a backpack on, I hold onto the straps to keep it from bouncing around. So much ick.

Oh, men are just disgusting creatures, aren't they? My husband will do a massive burp right after his dinner, even if the rest of us are still eating . When I moan about it, he says that it's his "mating call".
It obviously works, because all of the local women are just queuing up to have sex with him

I'm loving how the hate for flat caps is pretty universal. Peaky Blinders has a lot to answer for!

 

[Inforapenny]

Guys who say their ex was "crazy" or "mental"....massive red flag and instant ick and run for the hills

 

[justapossum]

Just saw some referring to Facebook as "book of faces" - new ick unlocked

 

[Mrspowell]

My cousin today told me she got the ick over a guy yesterday, she really likes him but the way he ordered a taxi gave her the ick and now it’s over

People posting there every movement on social media.
Can nothing be private anymore.

A guy I once had a fling with, but stayed friends with does this!! He posts every single thing he ever does on Instagram. I cringe the most at the ones where he has set his phone camera up in the gym, then walks over to the machine to do some reps . Once he shared a quote saying 'A private life is a happy life'!! The irony.

-The last time I slept with him he stopped in the middle of it and said to me “you seem to like it when I thrust”.

This has actually caused my vagina to seal itself closed permanently

Guys who assume they make you nervous. Especially the ones who keep asking " are you nervous right now?" " well what about when I move closer??" *moves closer*.

You're not God's gift, for one and two, I don't even like you and this date isn't even going well. F off.

I’ve been chatting to this guy for a few weeks from tinder. Haven’t met in person. Just snooped and found he has a separate insta and calls himself a travel blogger. But the posts are just from his lads holidays and when he’s been out walking in the countryside.

Got the mega ick now

 

[glitter tits]

I’ve just realised men writing a status on Facebook gives me major ick

 

[Mamacita]

One of the builders working on our house is really good looking, and seems like a lads lad. He took the other day off because his favourite cat got ran over and killed. I know that's sad but he does not look like a cat kinda guy, just the thought of him sat at home stroking his cats and having a favourite one can't look at him the same

That's be literally the opposite of the ick for me!!

 

[whisperchat]

He liked me on bumble (zoom in if possible)

Oh god those are the sort of trainers the darrens who listen to basshunter wear

 

[PrincessCharming]

My ex used to order his steaks “burnt to a crisp”. Idiot.

Never mind, he’s dead now.

Once I went on a first date with this guy in December. When we were discussing where to go he was insistent on Weatherspoon's . I said I absolutely couldn't go on a first date to Weatherspoon's and he said okay and let me choose a venue.

The date itself was a bit awkward, he kept explaining everything to me like I was thick, which was annoying but I gave him the benefit of the doubt because first dates can be awkward sometimes. He told me he did a degree in pop music, then explained different types of investment finance to me, who did a masters degree in finance. I justified it as him feeling awkward and trying to relate to what I said, because I am a bitch too often .

We went to arrange a second and he was like 'woooo my turn to choose, lets go to Weatherspoon's' I felt too much of a cow to be like ew no even though I should've. I asked him why and he said it's his favourite restaurant and the food is amazing. ICK.

I still went, but felt majorly uncomfortable because Weatherspoon's on a Saturday night in December isn't really my vibe (I know I probably sound so snobby) When I got there he was more chatty than the first date, but all he was doing was slagging other people in there off, he was like 'why the hell is she wearing trainers with a dress how scruffy' and 'I don't get why girls put so much make up on' I said leave them to it it's not effecting you sat there is it, and he looked dead awkward. He also kept constantly explaining everything to me, so much that I laughed in his face halfway through one of his explanations. I went to the toilet and was voice noting my mate like HELP ME it wasn't first date nerves he's just an awful person.

He was wearing a Christmas jumper which was also on the huge list of why this guy gave me the ick, then he produced a carrier bag and said I got you this, and it was A MATCHING CHRISTMAS JUMPER TO HIS. I died inside

I told him I had to go to my friends to give her a Christmas present before she drove home for Christmas as I wouldn't see her until after New Year otherwise, a very specific lie but I needed to get out. 10 mins before the time I told him I needed to leave I said right well, time to go, and he said no you said you didn't have to go until 19:30, so because we have 10 more minutes lets go for a little walk. I was walking 2 steps ahead of him the whole time. Enraged.

We didn't speak after the date, then he messaged me on Christmas Eve night asking why I deleted the dating app we met off, but then didn't seem to put any effort in with him. I had told him I'd deleted it but didn't give a reason. I think he assumed I deleted it because I was into him
