Have you experienced the ick with a potential love interest?

My friend just told me she dumped a man because he was wearing black trainer socks without shoes while relaxing at home!!

Was interested to learn of any other funny icks people had!

I had a boyfriend who, when we were on a day trip to London, must have sat on some chewing gum and consequently had an unattractive stain on the bum cheek area of his jeans.
Don't know why I didn't tell him, but I didn't, and found myself deliberately walking behind him to look at it and feel repulsed! Sounds even more ridiculous when I write it down.
I dumped him that night.

I haven't dated since being widowed, BUT, bald(ing) men who wear hats all the time/indoors to hide the baldness. My late DH wore his balding state in style, and yes, it was in no way a drawback when I clapped eyes on him. Plainly women (and men) concurred with my opinion. Grin

OTOH, I can't be doing with those older men who've retained their locks and wear an overly demonstrative cut, like a woman shaking her hair out on a shampoo ad.

Oh yes, the baseball hat brigade. Bloody awful, especially in the gym.
Though to be fair, more women than men wear them there.

They should only be worn on a baseball field and only on a very sunny day 😂

What a weird thing to get the ick over. He's relaxing at home. What's wrong with wearing socks and no shoes?

My ick is if they wear anything other than a nice tight pair of boxers. I hate baggy boxers, y-fronts, pants.

Guy here. Gold hoop earrings.

@Yettisrus29 that's the whole thing with the ick. Totally irrational and often unreasonable!

Agree with the hats!!
