Buldging fake looking muscles. Tattoos on face or neck, or lots of tats full stop, gross.
Glad this wasn't so much of a thing when I was dating.

Tan, slip-on shoes. I don't care how attractive he may otherwise be.

Also, pointy shoes that look like he wants to kick the eyes out of spiders. Disclaimer pointy shoes / boots on Goths are perfectly fine.

Protruding nasal/ear hair.

The word "meal" and men who

sincerestwonders · 06/11/2026 19:46

Calling food "picky tea" or "picky bits"
Drives me insane cos it makes me think of picking your nose

Sleeve tattoos or leg tattoos, hate them, they look awful, when they are going bald but refuse to shave it off, men with no hair on their legs, they need to have hair, totally clean shaven faces, I have to have a bit of stubble,

those scandi gnomes with no eyes
Things without eyes are freaking creepy

When I see people wearing scrunch bum leggings I secretly want to tell them ‘just No’ as they look horrid… are they actually meant to look like an anus btw?

Are they leggings with ruching along the crack seam? I’ve only seen them once. Not good…

Gold chains or any chains on middleaged men are the worst ick!

TheOtherOtherWoman · 07/11/2026 17:54

Those jeans with skinny legs and a diaper effect around the bum - ick!

I live next door to complete idiots who think they own the street and we all rent spaces in it

She's just awful but her fella thinks he's something special and gods gift to every woman (he's really not)

We where in the local shop and had just got to the till when he swaggered in,hands in his pockets and trying to draw attention to his small willy through his jeans (it was the way he walked in crotch first)

That was the first ick

Second ick was when he saw us (wasn't expecting us to be stood in front of him) and his mouth turned into the same shape as Donald Trump (when he rants away-it turns my stomach)

Third ick was he left the shop and we took a really slow walk home (id pulled my back out and couldnt walk any faster) and when we got level with our house,he came strutting out,trying to look the big hard man,pulling his donald mouth shapes while shooting us nasty looks (which dp ignored and I laughed at)

I couldn't have anymore icks from one bloke

(And I really can't stand gutless bullies)

Waist bands with logos on them! I don’t know why but it just makes me shudder!

That's disgusting.

GrandmasCat · 07/11/2026 19:20

People who claim to be foodies or coffee snobs. That is just for beginners, the real ones do not go around showing off their credentials.

Don’t start me on bucket hats…

In online dating:
— How to get to my heart: through my ribs.
— Those who claim to have a “full set of teeth”
— Saying they are tactile… for fuck sake, if you need to make a point that you like touching people you are either desperate, have pestered someone away by touching too much, or both.

People who say diaper instead of nappy 🤣

Show quote history

I deliberately said diaper to see if someone would "call it out" (another 'trigger": "Came here to say this!" "LOLz").

Joggers, especially skinny joggers - I mean why?! Nobody looks good in them 🤣

I agree.

BCBird · 07/11/2026 20:39

Saggy balls encased in briefs- nooo. Boxers are better

TheCoralDreamer · 07/11/2026 20:41

Isn't it leggings

VielleTruite · 07/11/2026 20:47

Strapless, sleeveless wedding dresses, no matter what the age, shape or size of the wearer.
