I’ll add gold frame specs with blue tinted lenses to that overall look 🤢

😆 🤣 I can see it now with a jumper tied round their shoulders

Men who wear pyjamas. Especially character ones like Homer simpson, or Superman ones 🤢

shuggles · 02/11/2026 23:35

Some of these make sense, but many of these "icks" are ridiculous and probably stem from an inability to consider men as people who do normal stupid things too.

@laughterworry0 I mean, surely they can’t have any icks on us

Men universally report that the pouty fishy trouty lip pose in photographs is disgusting.

I'm sorry but boxers are the only acceptable clothing

Or boxers and a sweater

Ex wore nylon trackie bottoms (the sort with the stripes down the sides) but as he was 5'7" there would be a balloon around his ankle and he would insist on wearing them with adidas trainers. He owned one pair of shoes, two proper shirts, one pair of formal trousers and no jackets. He wore jeans, tshirts and trainers for everything. I found this out late in the dating process as jeans and a shirt is fine for informal dating.

When he turned up for a date in said trackies and a hoody.....that was it.

ChocolateCinderToffee · 02/11/2026 23:36

People who can’t write a coherent sentence or spell correctly. Ick ick ick.

I once dumped someone because of his accent. I have the same accent 😂

(To be fair, it was mostly because he had a tendency to overplay it for laughs and it came across as trying too hard!)

Phrootbaht · 02/11/2026 23:38

Men snorking their phlegm.
Men in sandals.
Men with poor spelling.
Men standing around, drinking pints.
Men chewing gum.
Men.

Boxers and a sweater? In bed?? 😂😂😂

Men who schlepp around the city & suburbs topless. The only acceptable place to show your nipples is the beach.
Also, I live in Australia and think that bare feet in supermarkets, footpaths and anywhere serving food is utterly vile. Most especially any public transport or planes where people can’t get away from your skanky hooves.

A grey suit with the trousers too small that make the shapeless arse stick out, and brown shoes.

Suits with backpacks.

Apple watches that are visible.

A fringe that's swept upward and forward and held in place with "product".

Fragrances that smell like an accident at a chemical factory.

Yeah what is it with blokes who think women want to see their beer bellies hanging over their shorts. If we wanted that view, we would book Benidorm.

Baggy jeans, spent a cringy morning at a work seminar last week with a whole row of underwear waistbands poking out in front of me. (IT workers so jeans is us actually dressing up for the office 😆).

They're always Calvin Klein waistbands as well.
