Yep. A massive ick right there.
What is on his foot? The one that's on the floor? I thought it was a flip flop but the foot in the air doesn't have one on.
No, I think he has the same thing on the foot up in the air, actually? Looks like it's attached only to the big toe, like these dance "shoes" some people wear for Modern Dance. Sorry, don't know what to call them. Anyway, massive ick right there. He looks like he's about to start an interpretive dance on how to lay eggs.

A male colleague responded to a text with “coolies” and “okies” this week,… the ick was so strong with this one.

mouth breathers and men who wear eye masks in bed are another two up there 😷
My bf sometimes says coolio. Who does he think he is 🤢

A man around my age in M&S asked if I needed any help. I said no thanks, I'm just looking and he said 'oooooooh, just having a gange are yoouuu'

🤢🤢🤢

Most of these 'icks' seem to be about women not liking it when men behave in less traditionally 'masculine' ways. I find it interesting that women police gender roles in men more than they would probably like to admit.

It counts as complete devotion to lie in bed with someone on a CPAP sleep apnea machine. I won't call it an ick because I know it's a serious condition. However it must feel like lying next to a walrus.
Anyone know how noisy to machine is?

That's biology and evolution for you 😉

Men have been policing gender roles for centuries. Now women are saying 'not any more' they're throwing their toys out of the pram 🤦

Err we don't. Privately finding something an ick and laughing about it together is not 'policing'. Most men are usually entirely ignorant of things we discuss, precisely because we're not obnoxious enough to police their behaviour. And I disagree, there's been a mix incl hyper masculine icks. I wouldn't be too quick to assume what the ick is anyway. The photo I posted is an ick to me because he's attention-seeking and self-consciously "alt". For other women it might be because he's barefoot or whatever.
I wasn't particularly talking about you. And my use of 'policing' was (somewhat) light-hearted. I just find it interesting, that's all. I know that men do it too and historically much more.

It isn’t when men behave in a less masculine way (I’ve known many effeminate men who don’t give me the ick in any way), it’s when people have weird idiosyncrasies that should be kept private 😂

A huge (masculine) one for me is men (and honestly I’ve never heard a woman do this) who grunt when using weights in the gym. Makes me want to throw up

My condolences 😂😂😂😂
My husband and I wear crocs, sometimes you have to be and embrace the ick 😭
I'm embracing my need to have comfortable feet on holiday, so Crocs it is this year 👍👍 I do like a bit of sparkle, sorry to any Croc ickers 🤣🤣

A big ick for me which I noticed this week when traveling on underground in a blow-y dress; men who deliberately stare when they see you are having a wardrobe malfunction, or stare waiting for it to happen. Just duck off you creep.

ETA, Blow-y as in floaty! Not the other blowy, that would be wierd. On a dress.

Attach some fishing weights to the bottom of your frock, a bit like the Aussies do with corks on their hats, that'll stop them gawping 👍👍
