Oh god...where to start?!

Men whose beards stop at their jawline
When their tshirt is too short, especially when it rides up
No socks in shoes
Fake tan/hair dye
Designer logos on everything
Fake feminists
Sharp Adam's apples
Nasal voices
That hock and phlegm spitting (or any spitting)
The snot shoot, like footballers do, on to the ground
Men who shave their legs...or any body hair
Performative farting
Thinking spit is a lubricant
Beer breath
Over confidence/arrogance
Any and all -isms/bigotries

That's just off the top of my head.
Sharp Adams apples 🤣

men riding a bike gives me the ick, i give myself the ick when i do too

men who ask their friend/mum to take a photo of them cuddling their pet but looking at the pet as if not aware they're being photographed, then sending it to me and saying 'look how much (pet's name) loves me' (sorry oddly specific but really gave me the ick)

men who are born and raised in an area with a heavy accent but they force themselves to not speak with the accent and try to sound posh, just comes off pretentious

men who don't like or follow football

men who look in the mirror and squint their eyes

grown men (or women) who wear onesies

men who shop exclusively in primark

men who say thank you after giving them a blowjob/or after sex 🤮

men liking a girl's photo on insta/liking celebrities photos even when single. what are you doing

men working in a call centre as a career

oh and men who don’t eat fruit or vegetables

It’s funny how so many of the icks begin with ‘men’ 😂🫣
Yeah, I'd love to hear from men about icks from females. Bearing in mind what an ick is - something we know is irrational but we can't help. We all know men say they hate to much make up and so on....

Any adult who doesn’t eat fruit and veg. I just don’t get it at all, I saw a post from a girl influencer today saying she cannot stomach any fruit or vegetable at at all. Like how? There are thousands or fruits and vegetables out there, how do you hate all of them. And even if you do surely you’d just throw them in your stew for the health benefits 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️. (This does not include people with food related sensory issues etc)

also, people who survive on Diet Coke. Drink some water would ya 🤢🤢.

I think mine might be a bit harsh, but I am sat in a coffee shop and a bloke just came in and said ‘toilet?’ to the staff member (not ‘where is the toilet?’ Already a bit of an ick) but he’s now been in there for ten minutes while my table is right outside, reminds me of ex colleagues who used to announce their toilet trips at work - often in detail - shudder!

That's another ick of mine - announcing "I'm going for a tit" and/or then talking about said tit when they come back.

Many of my icks may stem from my ex husband.

In which case I'll add sending fool pics and "sexy" (not sexy) videos of yourself to women. Especially ones that aren't your wife.

My friend's husband follows around 800 people on Instagram and only about 20 or so of them are people he knows. The rest of them are insta models who post a pictures. Then his own account is just pictures of their kid. It all gives me a massive ick.

Been single since the end of 2019, and I'll be honest...most men give me the ick now 🤣

There's definitely pee in the dating pool.
same for me!! divorced at the end of 2019 as well and having the same issues. I've definitely realized that the majority of what I think are icks and that I'll "never do again" stem from my ex as well.

I’m on a very very busy train, only standing room. Someone just stood up to get off, and this man sort of quickly ran/shuffled over, sort of like a little hunched scrabbling rodent, to get the seat. Other people saw it, but it was a matter of 3 seconds and by the time everyone looked round to see if anyone needed it, he was in! Really made me cringe inside, new ick found!

Completely agree - Such an ick when grown adults who say that they don't like any fruit of vegetables - GROW UP 😂

Also -

When a guy drinks an actimel

When a guy has a hole in his sock and a toe is popping out through the hole - Ew.

When a guy holds a pizza box, or when a guy has loads of pizza boxes stacked on top of each other.

When a guy drinks from a straw.

Tik Tok dances.

A guy standing on his tippy toes to reach something.

Wet hair.

When guys use too many emojis.

When he changes his whatsapp pic/profile pic very frequently.

Guys wearing plasters.

Using 'lol', 'lmao', 'lmfao', or the worst one - 'ROFL'

When a guy is cooking something in the oven and keeps looking at the food through the glass door, and opening the door to check on the food multiple times.

Flared jeans.

Fruity chewing gum.

When a guy licks an envelope.

A guy whos favourite band is Coldplay.

Entering competitions or buying raffle tickets.

When they sit on a stool and their legs just dangle awkwardly.

Men watching reality tv like Love island/ex on the beach etc by themselves

My bf asked if we'd be watching Love Island this year, I don't watch it so no, but the thought of him putting it on alone and watching it set my ick off. I had to clarify with him and he said he wouldn't be watching alone, he was just checking in case I wanted to 😅 He sits and watches Coach Trip and Eastenders when I am not there which I find adorable, so not sure why the intense ick for the other shows.
