“The Ick”

[petitspois]

Yep, I've been there, breaking up was the best thing I could do since I found out she was seeing someone else.

There is more to that story.

Tell us more

I properly laughed at the football merchandise boxers.

Those who quickly jump to conclusions/ convinced they're right when they're being shallow.

 

[Swipeupyouguys]

Unfortunately not. I faked it every time I deserved an Oscar!!

Oh no - how disappointing!

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

Yeah. I used to work with a guy who went off to the toilet at 10am with his newspaper every day. He was strangely proud of himself.

Ffs how long was he planning to be there for?!

@bookworm1403 Imagine how pushy and insistent he could be on a date? I wouldn’t even respond.

 

[Platypusfattypus]

This makes me wonder if you went out with Stath Lets Flats

Hahahaha he did have a hint of Jamie Demetriou about him but blond and short

Can someone post the link here if they do start that thread.

Here we go: I made one

Sexist things we get told in daily life

So inspired by conversations on the "ick" thread about sexist things we get told in our daily lives and maybe things we don't often don't realise are sexist. (mainly women but we're inculsive and men can discuss the sexist things they get told to) Also, if you're a parent you can discuss the...

Honestly never felt the ick as bad as I did when I came across this on Tinder. I really have no words for it

Please post a photo of him

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

I love this thread
I once got the ick because (on the same date) a guy complimented my sandals and asked me what perfume I was wearing because I smelled nice. I mean, maybe he was just being interested and trying to be nice but what guy asks about perfume?!

I also once went for coffee with a guy who turned up wearing jeans and those horrible dress shoes some people have mentioned but also a pure cheap supermarket white shirt and one of those knitted zipper jumpers everyone wore to school in like 2004. He looked like a bed going on a job interview. And when I politely declined a second date he asked for “feedback to help in his future dating endeavours”

How did you meet coffee date guy? An app?

 

[birdiefly246]

You gave him petrol money on a date?

In his defence, he refused to take it, but being the 21st century woman that I am I snuck it in his car and told him later.

My boyfriend does some strange and annoying things but havent been put off

The one thing that really gives me the icky is when I see men drinking a can of monster. I dont know why, red bulls fine but theres something about monster I find dead cringe

Brand whore!

Sadly I have seen one in real life. I described it to a friend (sorry, men!!) and she said "OH! A pyramid dick!" so I guess it's a thing? Haha!

I can't bring myself to watch naked attraction!!

I can't even picture it, didn't know it existed

 

[Swipeupyouguys]

I LOVE an ick story, if you don’t already follow her Lalalaletmeexplain on insta does insta ick stories regularly. They’re the best.
So here are a few of mine:

- He sang to me in a busy restaurant
- Lockdown Tache
- Jumped up and down when the pizza guy knocked on the door
- Used to talk to me in a baby voice when asking for a cuddle
- Used my Bobby pins to clear wax out of his ears
- Said ‘by the by’ twice in one conversation

Get out before the insemination occurred

 

[bookworm1403]

@bookworm1403 Imagine how pushy and insistent he could be on a date? I wouldn’t even respond.

I didn't - after he said 'maybe in a few weeks then?' even when I'd made it clear my answer would still be a no, I just ignored the message

 

[CarrieW24]

A long time ago now I was with a guy who kept a flannel under his pillow...a few months down the line I found out he used it during his "alone time" and his mum would wash it and put it back I dumped him immediately and had no regrets.

Wtf! I bet you needed therapy afterwards

 

[CarrieW24]

Legs like James argent.

Just the legs??

 

[SquidgyOtter]

Omg I cannot cope with overly manicured nails on a man

So wrong!! When i worked in a shop the amount of men i used to serve with yellow fingernails

 

[CarrieW24]

First time poster here, but this thread has made my day!
I was recently dating a guy who didn't have the courage to kiss me until the 3rd date, and then I noticed he had girly little hands and Megan Fox thumbs. Gave me the ick straight after and I could never speak to him again!

She truly has terrible thumbs

This is useful, thank you

I get that inappropriate dentistry could be painful.

That’s the one that caught my eye as well.
