Any bloke that says. "Well, women want equal rights..." over such innocuous things like not being prepared to buy her a drink on the first date or offer up a seat, etc.

Oh my god I love this thread. The reasons for getting the ick in the original post are so funny and I completely understand them, especially the Tesco meal deal 
Some of mine are a bit wierd too and would just give me the ick:
Him saying something funny and no one hearing and doing a nervous David Brent smile
Him eating some of my food but trying to look cute/nice when doing it, the only way I can describe this is daintily using his finger and thumb to pinch a crisp.
Scrolling on his phone with his middle or index finger
Looking at me for reassurance or for my reaction if he said something funny or was laughing at something
If he covered his mouth when laughing
If his shoes were too long and clumsy

Omg this just reminded me of when I was about 18 and this guy I was seeing randomly sent me a massive long cheesy text poem. I remember standing at the bus stop thinking why the f has he just done that and ruined it. Major ickMy ex wrote me a heart felt poem..it absolutely repulsed me
I met a guy on bumble back in like 2017 and he wrote me a full on rap before I had met him in person but we had texted and spoken on the phone.
For some bizarre reason I still went on the date, he was awkward pale skinny and a giant and no charisma. He tried to kiss me (I know I know another date trying to kiss me) and I’m quiet tall but he was a foot above me so bent down and I did that awkward duck dive move and we then had to walk silently back to the station. I should have said no after the rap!
I was 23/24 at the time and he was about 30!
Poems, raps, essays and the like are just cringe. If I wanted to date John Keats or Shakespeare I would time travel
Men that wear shoes obviously too big for them and they get those deep creases across the front like chillllll big feet don’t mean big D you can wear your actual size
like chillllll big feet don’t mean big D you can wear your actual size Sorry for the long post but had to tell the story lol
Men that try to impress too hard is a no from me. I once met this guy through a mutual friend of ours. We had our first date everything went well, on our second date he gave me a carrier bag full of sweets he told me to not bother with them until I got home and I didn’t fancy a sweet at the time so didn’t even look. Anyway, I got home and emptied the bag and at the bottom was a Swarovski bracelet that he had been out to buy me the day before (it even had the gift receipt in so I could see the date he bought it ). I thought that was a bit weird considering we didneach other but then every single Friday without fail I would get a delivery of flowers to my office, I was so embarrassed I kept hiding them
After that everything that I said I liked in a person he would try to be, it was so irritating so had to end it
I recently saw my ex with his new partner and it looks like he has turned into this guy because everything he didn’t like or would take the piss out of before, he has now become

Bad hygiene - nasty feet / nails.
No grooming.
Too much grooming ie tinted lashes.
Too Hairy.
Little hands.
Sloapy small shoulders.
Teeth. Turkey veneers or crowded yellowing pegs.
Proudly announcing a hatred of feminism.
witching / gossiping.
Degrading other womens appearance and comparing them to me as if it's complimentary.
Ageism against women after menopause. Just why? Thats your mum and will be me one day so....
Holding mugs with the little finger stuck out.
Lould masticating noises.
Perving on women in sex scenes or music videos (while I'm there)
Asking for to take photos when we're out and about (like they need proof you were there)
Begging for nudes
Mansplaining
Buying expensive gifts early on (to guilt you)
Watching you while your watching tv / film.
Trying to massage you
Always asking for hugs.
Telling you all their achievements more than once, if they don't feel you reacted with enough awe the first time.
Making you watch them sing / play their guitar / keyboard. Awkward.
Reading you their poetry.
Telling you what to eat. Drink.
Talking about your future and how they'll take care of everything... after a month of knowing you.
Road rage.
Thinking they are so cool, and surprises when you've heard of that band / read that book

I would have done the same thing, 100%every single Friday without fail I would get a delivery of flowers to my office, I was so embarrassed I kept hiding them
I don't like people that try to buy my love/companionship, it makes me very weary of them. Its not cute, it's not sweet, it gives me the heebie jeebies!
I went on a day date to the zoo with a bloke I’d been talking to for quite a while, he picked me up early for the journey & he stunk of fried bacon & sausages...I’m a vegetarian
Ewww. Even if you weren't this is gross. Shower. Brush your teeth! Especially if you're hoping to get a kiss! Imagine what else doesn't get washed regularly...I went on a day date to the zoo with a bloke I’d been talking to for quite a while, he picked me up early for the journey & he stunk of fried bacon & sausages...I’m a vegetarian
I got the ick once when I went on a first date and had lamb and he asked me if it was 'melt in the mouth' 
My first boyfriend and I were going on a date to the coast. He picked me up wearing sandals. I thought ‘ok, I just won’t look’, then he tripped in said sandals and I don’t know about anyone else but seeing a man trip up instantly puts me off them in the early stages? Anyway, from that day the relationship slowly went downhill
Few more:
- men who send every single word in a separate text so my phone is buzzing non stop for one simple sentence?
- men who go on and on about drinking or being pissed and hung over when I’ve clearly stated I don’t drink (no issue with it but why would anyone think this makes them seem ‘fun’)
- Men who write a bit too much in their dating profile and/or have far too serious selfies? In general I don’t like men who take selfies anyway
- cocky, ignorant, short men who send nudes (AND A VIDEO) of their very small pen before you’ve even had a decent conversation (at least I knew it was miniature before deciding to meet him or not
)

)Men who expect you to be literally chained to your phone and get mad if you don't reply promptly. I tit you not, I had a guy from Tinder send me a whiney text calling me out for 'ignoring' him when I didn't respond within a literal 3 minutes. BORE OFF!
Also, men who act extremely patronising and appear surprised that women actually have a brain. Like guys who'll be all over you, telling you how 'clever' you are because you like to read books in your spare time. It's really not that deep.

This is the worst! Like they think sending a crappy message is suddenly going make you want to reply faster to the needy idiot.
I had an "ick" the other day, my Tinder date for that evening sent me a pic of himself at work that day, he's got a very very well paid professional job.... And these were the shoes he saw fit to not only wear, but to photograph to impress me

Bad tattoos.
Spelling mistakes.
Tattoos with spelling mistakes.
