“The Ick” #3

[Sheeeet]

Guys who cannot pronounce their Rs! I know this one is very specific but I can’t help it. Matched with this guy, he seemed lovely and polite, but then he sent me a voicemail and I was like I just could not take him seriously after that!

You had to kick his Rs to the kerb?

Continually getting a phrase or word wrong is a big ick for me... fine if I point it out early enough and it stops but sometimes I just let them carry on until I ick myself out.

my ex always thought John Torodes name was Jonty Rhodes, amused me too much to tell him.

I've thought of a few more.

One long visible nostril hair - when it's just poking out on one nostril, like a single solitary spider leg

Men explaining film plots to me. Yes, I understood Inception, just because I didn't like it doesn't mean I lacked the intellectual calibre to understand the plot and I need it explaining to me. One ex actually used to *quiz* me on what I thought the meaning was of films when they finished (always poncy pseudo profound indie-but-not-actually-indie, actually mainstream films with magical pixie dream girls like Garden State or something) and correct me if he thought I had got it wrong. I'm amazed my ovaries didn't jump out of my body.

Men who pointedly let me know that they are vegetarians, usually as I am ordering some slab of dead animal or a massive meat pie with horns sticking out, a la Desperate Dan. Actually men who are vegetarians / climate activist eco swot types / purse lips at my recycling bins. I'm sorry, I'm just a terrible person. I know that means they are better than me. It just sets off primaeval lizard brain ick in me. Like if he can't bring himself to eat a bit of steak, how on earth is he meant to look after me and club sabre tooth tigers trying to get into the cave?? I ask you

Men who collect boxed action figures and keep them in boxes on display. Bonus points if they are figures from Star Trek / horror films / Transformers

men who say they are feminists. Bollocks you are, you've just learned it's a good way to get into someone's knickers. Bonus points if they say something like 'Well, I just think the lyrics in rap music is just quite derogatory to women' or 'it would be better if we had women leaders, really' with a thoughtful look on their face


Wearing 'funny' nerd pun t-shirts / t-shirts with cartoons on past their twenties


Men who tan. On purpose

 

[Inforapenny]

Men on electric scooters ......just hideous

And men who seem nice and then drop in some casual racism. My vagina instantly closes shut.

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

Men who attach tiny Xmas baubles to their beard.

 

[Kittypops]

Ugh, wet lips
I dated a man who ate avocado in a full on slurping action. Once we were out and he had it for breakfast, it went over his shoes and all over his chin. Then, he passed me the serviette and said : "wipe me down, mother".

Luckily, it was in his town, so there was no chance of anyone I knew witnessing me curl up and die of The Ikk

 

[CherryAcid]

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

I have an uncle Darren(aka Uncle Nobhead) he listens to Basshunter and once bought Hi Tech copy trainers. He also takes packets of bacon on his holiday to Turkey so he can try to bribe local restaurants for money off meals.

 

[House of Tea]

Men with child bearing hips. Or long fingernails. Or white podgy fingers. Or called Nigel.

 

[Peaches_xox]

Grown men who’s entire personality type is just going down the pub. Grow up

 

[Spider12]

Oh my god, I’ve just spent my Saturday night reading these threads and absolutely pissing myself laughing. So many brilliant icks! One that proper got me was someone talking about her husband scratching his ‘barse’ with her tangle teezer, I had tears running down my face When I was younger one ick that really sticks out in my mind was I was chatting to this gorgeous guy and everything was going really well until he sent me a picture of his tiny dick (this was the first I’d ever seen of it) and a text ‘make me hard’. Absolute ICK. Goodbye

[Evabee]

Been dating a guy for a month or so now and he’s far too comfortable around me. Just listening to him going to the toilet is the biggest ick ever, so gross

 

[Tea4u]

I have a few:

- Men who lie about their height on dating profiles and when you meet up they’re much shorter. Gives me the ick when we hug and I realise they’re 3 inches shorter than they said.

- When they’re not good at kissing.. or trying to do anything more. Stiff guys who struggle to even kiss your neck, are awkward with touching you, even with consent. (Before someone says maybe they’re nervous etc it’s my ick)

- Being told to “lighten up” and “take a joke” instant ick

- Being asked “how’s your day” 3 times a day, think of something else to say ffs my day hasn’t changed much

- Not being called babe/baby or a similar pet name, feels like I’m talking to a friend

- Posting sexy selfies with no compliment or reaction from the guy you’re talking to. Do you not think I’m sexy???

- Going on and on about themselves, not even asking once about you or asking you a question back. Boring.

- Guys who don’t think about you’ll get to the date planned or how you’ll get home

- Dad jokes or generally going on thinking they’re really funny when you’re not even laughing

- Going somewhere and complaining about the prices or distance (when they’ve agreed to go beforehand)

- Guys who want you to “come over” on the day you start speaking or invite you over as soon as you meet

- Asking you for money from the date after the date. This happened to me before and I got sent his bank details and asked to transfer him the money he “spent on me”. Blocked

Men wearing rings is one thing but the thought of them being stood there and putting them on makes my vagina shrivel up. Minging

 

[gossipgirlellie]

This thread is too funny! I dated a guy who wanted to take me to the Christmas pantomime and it immediately gave me the ick and I don’t know why!!

 

[aimzalicious]

When we used to shag, just before he would cum he would pull out and catch it in his hands and run to the bathroom and get rid of said bodily fluid

I AM ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING

 

[cabbageandbeans]

I don't let mine do that, yuck I had to stop going to a certain friends because her little Jack Russell thing used to jump all over you on the sofa, stick it's nose in your coffee, trying to lick your face & ears all the time, it was allowed to do just as it liked & not trained to get down at all.

I'm surprised we didn't get those who love that saying how clean a dog's mouth is and how their licking can even heal sores.


Another ICK. Women who carry their money or bank cards in their bra, then hand it to you to pay for something. Why not just wipe your pits with it too before ya hand it over. *shudders*

 

[lunaa]

I was talking to a guy from a dating app and we were arranging our first date. I was super attracted to him. He told me he was nervous about knowing what to wear. I don’t know why but it gave me massive ick and I cancelled the whole thing

 

[Pink blancmange]

So did you 'do the deed' or not ?

A girl still has needs

 

[Inforapenny]

Slight tangent but I met a guy on holiday...he was genuinely tall dark and handsome, we met up back in the UK and o liked him until o found out he had a phobia of butterflies
Fuck that.
