Reasons why you got the ick

To start with, just to confirm this is lighthearted Grin

I have had a few over the years:

  1. wore a yellow coat. He looked like a banana with 90's sunglasses
  2. would burp and then declare he was 'bilious' 🤢
  3. had clammy hands, it was like holding hands with a damp sponge

All were passion killers, and the second was enough to whip out the divorce papers. Reader, I married him before he turned into Steptoe! (Couldn't put that on the application form but came close GrinBlush)

Wore socks with shoes .. and shorts. Prior to that he'd wear his trousers half mast. He was tight as arseholes so wouldn't splash out on proper clothes for tall men so I persuaded him to invest in a few decent pairs from a specialist ship.
We went on a date soon after, was he wearing these new fitting trousers? No. He was 'saving them for best' twat.
The final straw though was when he left skidmarks in the toilet on a caravan break. I asked him why he'd left them there and he said it was because he'd been 'too busy' to clean up after himself. He had no shame about leaving his skidmarks and he cleaned the toilet vigorously like a petulant child when I pulled him up on it. Nope. No more.

Wore “work shoes” for a date walking round a country park.

I had an ex that did that too. His name doesn't begin with S does it? 😂

I thought I was being petty and I otherwise fancied the pants off him but work shoes for walking really put me off.

punched a shop wall because some random guy touched my bum when we were on a night out, was walking home and he randomly punched like one of those shutter things on shop doors... dumped him there and then because i was so disgusted by it.. he said he was just angry someone would touch me like that

Mostly hygiene related.

used to play drums in the nude and leave a sweaty arse crack print on the leather seat.

I borrowed his car and went to adjust the seat. The bar that you pull to adjust the seat was covered in dried snobs.

he slid out of bed with no pants on and left a shit streak across the sheet.

Binned!

Chased a carrier bag he had dropped around Tesco car park

This is the funniest yet.

I can only imagine the scrabbling desperate ick 🤣

Truestorypeeps · 13/06/2023 21:39

Insisted on only showering every 2/3 days and using a flannel to wash his chest and pits on the other days. The flannel lived on the bathroom sink and stank of stale sweat.

Piked a good number of his teeth with his fingers at the dinner table after most evening meals.

FoxtrotOscarFoxtrotOscar · 13/06/2023 21:39

Pointy lizard tongue that was so long our lips couldn't meet and I thought I'd get lockjaw.
Another who turned up for our "lunch date" with his home-made sandwiches in a Tesco carrier bag.

IhearyouClemFandango · 13/06/2023 21:42

I saw him walking down the street in beige chinos and a beige jersey roll neck. We were only mid twenties. He also looked too pleased to see me.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 13/06/2023 21:44

His voice.
His laugh.
The fact he thought the Funniest person he knew was him.
His clothes.
His tiny cock.

Married for 8 yrs should have divorced after 3

theDudesmummy · 13/06/2023 21:46

Arrived for a first date in a smart London restaurant wearing a baby blue handknitted cardigan with wooden buttons. He didn't get a second date.

Newlifestartingover · 13/06/2023 21:50

Back in the days when I used online dating apps men that started talking about sex before they'd even met me in person gave me the ick.

SmirnoffIceIsNice · 13/06/2023 21:54

He insisted on saying "lully " instead of "lovely", and then started calling me his lully. Um..nope!

Same guy was a fraction shorter than me which didn't bother me at first. He said it didn't bother him either but he was always making comments/jokes about how short he was. I got the ick when I realised his feet were a size smaller than mine. Made me feel huge. Unfortunately he was small in other areas too 🍆

Chypre · 13/06/2023 21:57

Whenever eating out, will ask for/put ketchup on anything. ANYTHING - creamy pasta, grilled fish, steak, Thai curry etc. I’m not a snob but just couldn’t get over it.

waterlego · 13/06/2023 21:58

Wooden buttons! 😂 Some of these are making me actually LOL.

Gdxx · 13/06/2023 21:58

It was quite early days with someone I was seeing. He was kissing me lying on top of me in bed and I looked down over his shoulder and saw he had a huge hole in the back of his boxers. I remember just thinking why would you put them on?! Majorly got the ick and struggled to see past it 😂

OhForCodsHake · 13/06/2023 21:59

One that came out on a date with a big smear of Vaseline on his chin and then told me in great detail about a sebaceous cyst that he'd just had lanced. But what really did it for me was the text the next day inviting me out to go bowlin' 😱 Why not just type out the whole bloody word?!

PrincessPalatine · 13/06/2023 22:00

@Usernamen

the cringiest woke bollocks

If any man used the term 'woke' to disparage people with progressive views, I'd be binning them off instantly. I hope I'd have had the 6th sense to twig they were like that before it came to a date. I suppose he wasn't genuine in those beliefs?

aliensprig · 13/06/2023 22:02

Carrying on with the carrier bag theme, went on a date with one guy to a local footie match. He bought a scarf pre game but his team lost; he threw the carrier bag it came in with all his might in frustration. It (obviously) didn't go very far and was pathetic and embarrassing to witness

Another guy - went back to his place, he lived with his parents and his bedroom walls were covered in Man utd posters (off putting)

Another one I went on holiday with, he absolutely stank out the hotel bathroom to the point where the whole room smelt. Lovely guy though

Sorry one more - having slept with this guy and made the mistake of sounding like I enjoyed myself, he immediately pulled out and left to go to a bar without another word because "I was clearly faking it". Bewildering!

Skid marks on the bedsheets
A combover
He cried actual tears when he came

(3 different guys)

Jifmicroliquid · 13/06/2023 22:11

Used to apologise by saying “sawwwy”
urgh.

Another was a first date who I had met drunk at a party and had very little recollection of. When we met up again I realised he bounced when he walked, to the point that people were looking over. I was only 17 so fairly young and shallow really, but just as I was thinking how embarrassing it was, he fell over. I nearly died laughing and genuinely couldn’t stop for the next 2 hours. He did not see the funny side!

Jifmicroliquid · 13/06/2023 22:12

Also had the skid marks on the bed sheets. That was the ‘sawwwy’ bloke.

TheDutchHouse · 13/06/2023 22:19

Oh got lots Wink

One whose toes/ feet pointed inwards when he ran but strangely not when he walked .. it made him look like he was desperate for the loo when broke into a sprint!

One who used the C word at least three times in describing his family .. that date ended pretty quickly

One who couldn't say sandwich properly

One who used to say bootiful instead of beautiful

Another who told me on the first date that I was the fattest person he'd ever gone out with.. I was a size 10 at the time !

Lastly .. for now lol .. he was lovely and I felt it was going somewhere , no major red flags or issues.. then one weekend abroad he spoke the whole time to staff etc in a French accent.. we were in Spain 🤦‍♀️
