He called a sandwich a sammich, but said it in baby talk. It gave me the ick so bad that I was gone

He was so noisy in sex after a couple of years and the embarrassment in hotel rooms I got the ick totally.

The dreaded feathery stroker as described by Marian Keyes. Smile

Ah yes, I still say feathery strokery. It’s a perfect description!

Booked his car into the main dealer to replace a headlight bulb.

Yes I know it was included in the fancy new car deal but it took days to arrange, time out of work for both of us to drop off (and time out of our weekend to pick up) for the sake of an £8 bulb.

Oh, and getting his mum to book a GP appointment for him.

Agree re the GP. But I tried for ages to change a headlight bulb on one car, I eventually 'phoned the garage, they said the only way to do it is to go up through the wheel arch!

He expressed admiration for Nigel Farage.

He turned up with a crusty bogey on his face. It was winter but all the same, ick!

He accidently stepped on a huge, orange slug whilst wearing sandals (no socks).

Should I show my DD20 this thread to prepare her for relationships?😄

Started counting the change after receiving back something like £1.41 in coins.

The man was actually reasonably well off (a colleague of mine), it was not like these were last pennies, and it wasn't 19th century.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 14/06/2026 19:37

Had long fingernails

Not veiny but also the smoothest skin, like you would want your own feet to be. Not the feet of a 6ft 5 fella.

My DHs feet are perfectly smooth on top! 🤣

It's kind of weird as he is the hairiest man I know but somehow, baby skin on the tops of his feet!

I actually quite like feeling it - wishing my legs were as smooth 😉

Dawnintheageofaquariams · 14/06/2026 19:31

Told me his mother was his friend.
I clamped shut like a Venus Fly Trap.

ChaToilLeam · 14/06/2026 19:28

He wore dungarees and a woolly hat and it made him look like Benny from Crossroads.

Omggg! Hard no

Did you know, apparently, when a man's beard goes ginger in places, its because he goes down on women a lot!

Because he spoke to his food in this odd posh way. “Ahh, egg. Jolly good!”

He got rosy cheeks almost in a perfect circle when he was hot or cold.

I got the ick when I went to a firework display and he jumped every time there was a loud explosion

😂😂😂😂😂😂 You win!!!

Nothingfallingdowntoday · 14/06/2026 19:07

I hated the way he pronounced the word mirror. Emphasising the “or”. Couldn’t get over it. Irrationally creeped me out.

Twinkeltime · 14/06/2026 19:06

Top 5 men.

  1. Met for the first time, he had such a tiny head i couldnt stop looking, had one drink and left.

  2. onenight stand his dick was the size and width of a chap stick, i could have won oscars for my fakeness that night.

  3. He got drunk pissed himself rang him mum and asked her to come take him to bed.

  4. He shaved his pubes and his legs, i couldnt do it i left i said i had an emergency.

  5. He was picking his nose and wiping it on his trousers like it was normal.

he had the same first name as one of my brothers

just no,nope,not happening

Ooh, ooh, I did something similar. I wasn't a prolific dater by any stretch but I dated 3 guys in a row with the same first very common name but different nicknames (think Robert, Bob and Rob). I met an amazing guy who was known by his surname by everyone. It wasn't until the third (very promising) date that I found out his first name. It was the same one. I just couldn't go on a fourth. I couldn't be the woman that had dated 4 guys in a year with the same name 😂
