Or when you’re instructed to do so in Team meeting introductions…HELL to the YES!Especially when it’s on their social media. It’s giving attention seeking and virtue signalling

@peachplumpear When I read your posti immediately thought of Mark Wright!
Yes whenever I see someone using them I’m like, ah I see you caved to societal pressure and decided to jump on the bandwagon. Using them anywhere is an ick but especially on Linkedin for some reason
Or people using them in an email signature in work - WHY BOTHER?!
I literally do not care what gender you identify with or don't identify with - just answer my bloody email!
Don’t ever say your pronouns if you don’t feel comfortable- it’s no different to being asked to give your religion in a meeting. Just say, ‘hi, I’m XX’ and then end it. If they ask you to give pronouns, say ‘No thank you’ and that should be it. They feed into gender ideology (that someone is a man/woman because they ‘feel’ like they do, nothing else) and you don’t have to believe in it. It’s protected in the equality act.
Sorry for the detail but I hate seeing people feeling forced into anything!
I think I’ve asked this before but has anyone ever got over an ick they have developed?? I have got one and desperately tried to make it work, but it just gets worse. I had the nicest bf once, I still dream about him. Sadly, I got the ick over his pointy man boobs (pointy when he was lying over me once and I never got over it). I wish I could go back and just ignore it!

Yes! I think I've posted about this before but I work with someone who at one point had Mx/Ms/She/Her/They/Them in her signature, it's now been changed to just Mx/Ms/She/Her. Why?? How do you have this much time to sit and ponder such trivial things? Oh I don't really feel like a They/Them anymore, better change my work email signature...Or people using them in an email signature in work - WHY BOTHER?!

Was chatting to a guy who said "sorry I'm pooped, going to hit the hay." 
To be fair I met several of them in the same club, I don't go there anymore for obvious reasonsWhere do you find these guys?!!?
I probably have more, most from tracksuit ex because he was a whooole trip, I've just erased a lot of him from my brain 
Please share?To be fair I met several of them in the same club, I don't go there anymore for obvious reasons
I had an ex who once ordered Chips and onion rings for a meal in a restaurant.
Used to wear Adidas Superstars with the laces tied too tight
Had fluffy dice air freshener in his car
Read the newspaper fully open, like didn't fold it in half so it was easier to hold/read
Would regularly do a whiny baby voice
Had a gaming chair
Had road rage
Entered competitions on Facebook.
I've said this on here before, but I was once dating this really lovely bloke....dentist (could have saved me A LOT of money). Really good looking and lovely...but we were once out in the winter and I admired his gloves. He said he had such small hands he had to buy them from the ladies section....
instant ICK.....and so gutted
I literally could not have him touch me again

Such a good point that the question shouldn’t be pushed if you don’t want to reveal your pronouns.
Re the pointy man boobs, another thing which is a big ick along with this is when a man is particularly ‘hippy’- even worse if they have pointy man boobs to go along with it too
I just want to tell them to get their testosterone levels checked out.
Was your ex Paddy from Phoenix nights?The ‘pure’ ick is when you did previously like someone but suddenly you notice the way they do XYZ and bam, you get the ick. It’s irreversible. You have no choice but to end it as soon as you can as everything they do gets tainted and also becomes an ick. I’ve gone out with men I’ve fancied but if I get it, I can’t even bear to kiss them anymore. My last ex gave me the ick when I found a shaker pot of hair fibres to hide thinning in his bathroomHe had to go.
Otherwise they’re just turn offs and general dislikes!
Horrible expression but men with "womanly " hips are such an ick. I read that somewhere and it describes it perfectly.Such a good point that the question shouldn’t be pushed if you don’t want to reveal your pronouns.

When men take selfies where their head is sticking out of the top of the top the duvet trying to be cute.
I was in a relationship with a guy who had been a bit overweight as a child and then lost it when he went to uni. I remember the first time we had sex, he was on top and he and his pyramid bits were pointing at me. I saw past it and was in a long relationship with him. IIRC, they got less noticeable (he was only 21 when we began dating) what frustrated me was he was sort of fatphobic and I recall a few years into the relationship and I gained a bit of weight, he prodded my lower stomach that was sticking out as I was driving. It had never bothered me until he did that and now I wish i’d not dismissed his moobs!
Pointy bits was a bleep...well avoided darling.
Also, re pronouns in work signatures...I'm NHS and we have this....I refuse and delete that bit. No probs so far but if they bully me, I'm going to challenge with Keira Bell etc. Also helps that Dr Hilary Cass is and old colleague/mentor of mine, so I would delight in the opportunity of scariung the tit out of them re litigation etc
Bald men with long beards. It's like they think "Well, I can't grow hair on my head, so I'll grow it in the one place I can!"
It looks bad and unkempt and they always look so smug with themselves, so they obviously think it looks great.
