“The Ick”

[Anonmanon]

All based on my ex rebound! He was 22 when I knew him..

- calling the toilet the ‘bog’
- not liking or eating any vegetables!!!
- watching him drive badly
- clearing every life decision by his mum
- calling me ‘baby’ very slowly
- when I refused sex he’d say ‘ I just want to show you how much I love you’
- wearing the same dirty socks and pants days in a row
- eating those microwave burgers

 

[SquidgyOtter]

Ahaha this thread has got me! Its the worst! My head is saying 'he's nice, see how it goes' then BAM the ick has arrived

Some of the above are understandable like bad hygiene, but some of mine are so stupid!:
- saying cuddles
- anything other than really short fingernails
- if they do something clumsy and seem embarrassed i just want to hide for them
- when they have hair in their eyes and they do that weird feminine flick of the neck to get it out their way
- being too available and too nice. I say i want them to treat me nicely but if they send too many 'morning babe how are you' texts I'm instantly like well looks like I'm the man in the relationship

 

[Milliehaha123]

Girls, what are the strangest things that give you the ick about a guy?

(The Ick is a sudden cringe feeling when you have romantic contact with someone: and become almost immediately put off by them)

Here are some of mine. They are so ridiculous I don’t know why they give me the ick.

-Wearing a backpack on both shoulders
-Wearing goggles whilst swimming
-Doing that awkward jog whilst crossing the road when a car stops
-Wearing jewellery
-Telling a joke but nobody heard so they repeat it louder
-Jumping up and down at a concert
-Really taking their time choosing a meal deal at Tesco

Please no harsh comments to me this is just a bit of fun and not intended to cause offence

I get the ick at honestly anything but the worst was a guy I actually did quite like and then he caught a cold that was it for me. He even text me afterwards saying everything was going so well until I got my cold

Edited to say that he kept sniffling and sneezing and it riled me out of nowhere

There is absolutely no going back from “cuddles”.GOODBYE

 

[Apple In My Pie]

Omg and, I know this is petty, but, when he wears y-front/briefs instead of boxers.

Instant nope! Makes them seem like a little child, makes me feel sick!

Omg yes! Hate them!

 

[Justhereforthebants]

I probably have a few but one that springs to mind straight away is when a fully grown man uses the word “poo”. A few examples...saying a football team was “so poo” or when any inconvenience happened they would say “that’s poo”. Just reminded me of when a child goes through that really annoying toilet talk stage where they always say words like that and find it hilarious, except this was a 20 something year old man .

 

[Violeteyes89]

Oh god I have so many and getting the ick is something I really struggle with. It can happen to me on the first date or a month/two months down the line!

- calling dinner “dins” as in “what are you having for your dins?”
- dodgy sunglasses
- calling me “foxy” during sex
- being rude to servers in restaurants/on the phone to strangers
- eating too fast
- skinny jeans
- dirty/messy bedrooms and bedsheets
- falling prey to a Bitcoin scammer on Instagram and “investing” £600 with said scammer
- wearing a necklace or earring

 

[Victoria sponge cake]

My ex would always call women working at the tills in supermarkets “darling” or “cheers darling” and whenever I heard it wanted to DIE and told him he needed to stop, he didn’t

also when a guy uses emoji, in the bin you go!

 

[ChloChlo]

Really long, narrow nostrils which you can only see from below. I was married to a man with these for years and looking up during a blowjob would give me an ick.

large hands that splay outward when holding a gear stick - I really hate that tit.

I like smokers but don't like men who have orange stains on their fingers or smell of stale rolling tobacco.

Gory details of past sexual encounters.

Denim or knitwear

Omg I cannot cope with overly manicured nails on a man

 

[Flossy2019]

This lad I used to date had really massive hands and like large fingers. He looked like he was wearing those fake foam fingers. It soon put me off him when I couldn’t stop thinking about his foam fingers

men who have messy cars/vans/houses etc
Mummy’s boys. I can’t stand grown men who are big mummy’s boys. Obviously be nice to your mum love your mum respect her etccc but gotta be able to stand on their own two feet

being called love. I’m not 80

really bad sexting-and using

Burping especially when it smells of garlic or beer

horrible toe nails

 

[Mrs Cucumber]

Putting milk in the tea before removing the teabag! If they can't make me a decent brew they aren't worth the time!

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

Anything feet related
You know I really love you when I’m not repulsed by your feet! But, specifically, seeing men’s bare feet (women’s feet bother me less) OR wearing white socks, unless they are absolutely pristine clean.

Being too keen too soon, I once dated a guy who cried and shredded the three page love letter he’d written me when I said I didn’t think it was working for me. We’d been on two dates, one of which was a very causal double date with out mutual friend who set us up!

 

[HowlOwl]

Having a coin purse.
Having a belt holster for a mobile phone.
Having a comfy cardi to wear round the house.
Putting plates of food in a cupboard to snack on later (I don’t know why it wasn’t in a fridge, it just stuck in my mind at a boyfriend’s parents’ house.)
Bobbly or holey socks.

 

[ChloChlo]

Laughing at their own bodily functions is a big ick for me also. Farts don't humour me. I'm not 5.

Helicopter penises or swinging balls so they catch them between their thighs - very Hannibal Lector with undertones of Jack the Lad. Just no.

Ordering themselves tit from Wish.

 

[Eyerollbrainache]

HOWLINGGGGGG at these

So mine would be; cuddles too - that makes me want to boke immediately. Being over the top falsely nice. Skinny jeans on men who have them cropped too. My ex-husband dresses like this at nearly 40 and it makes me cringe so much.

Jesus if someone called me "foxy" at any time, let alone during sex, I think my whole tina would shrivel up into my stomach.

Mine are (for men):
acting like they're making a really profound point but they're actually just talking tit.
not being able to drive (this one is probably weird but something about it really puts me off)
long beards
not being able to do basic everyday things: a guy at uni once (I kid you not!!!!) didn't know what number to set the toaster at... His mum had always made it for him.
pretentiousness
men on dating apps who open with "hey x"

That last one though

I hate it when men are too keen, especially on dating apps. When they're asking to meet up after an hour of talking and you're like mate we don't know each other. I once had a guy tell me he "really liked me" after literally 1 conversation consisting of 7 messages. No you don't like me. You don't even know me.

 

[coconochanel]

Good thread...

long nails
tight ankle jeans with no socks like the guys in Towie
long hair
long beards
snorting
not cleaning their teeth.
