What absolutely ridiculous and inconsequential things have put you off a partner?

[InstrumentsofTorture]

I don't mean completely acceptable reasons like poor hygiene, lying, flakiness etc. I mean things that the poor other person could not possibly have anticipated would mean the end of their relationship.

For me it was many years ago when I finally finally got together with a lad I'd had a crush on for about 3 years. About 2 months after we started seeing each other he invited me to his house. Which is where he committed the unforgivable sin of picking up a broom and sweeping the kitchen floor.

That was it. 3 years of obsessing over him and, just like that, a bloody sweeping brush came between us.

When I was a teenager - my new bf wore those glasses that turn into sunglasses when the sun shines. Totally gave me the ick, I have no idea why.

I started dating someone in my mid-20s until I discovered that he went to a happy clappy church. No thank you!

I was on a dating site many years ago, chatting to someone, who asked me if I'd like to meet up. I said yes then asked him which area of our city he lived in.
He replied calling me a stupid fucking bitch for not checking (and memorizing) his profile. I should have remembered where he lived apparently.
I blocked him.

Met this sexy french guy whilst travelling. Arranged to meet on the beach and there he was in tie dye speedo trunks. I had not anticipated cultural differences in swim wear and I stopped dead in my tracks and literally went cold.

Reminds of the TV series IT Crowd where the girlfriend's parents died in a fire at Sea World and he could not work it out.

🤢🤢🤢🤢 did you still have sex?

1. He talked about golf a lot (we were teenagers)
2. wore Y fronts (the ones with different coloured Y to the main colour)
3. I knew he wasn't tall, that wasn't the issue, but lying next to him on the sofa I realised his legs were very short in comparison to his body and a fair bit shorter than mine
4. Called me pet names (same bloke as #3
5. when drinking a pint, he would tip the glass and fill his mouth as if taking a big gulp, but then would let most of it drain back into the glass before swallowing (yep, same bloke)
6. slapped my arse when we were having sex and talked dirty to me on the phone I'm sure there are more

Oh god, I’ve had this too! One guy asked me to stand back to back so he could prove he was taller than me, then tried to convince me I was 5ft 11, I’m 5 6!

Several:

Was in a serious relationship with a bloke until we went to visit his mother. She was an uber bitch and he transpired to be a mummy's boy - ended that.

Shared an office with a bloke, there seemed to be mutual attraction so we went out on a date. Went back to his place, he said he would get drinks. He returned minus drinks, stark naked except for his socks and proudly stood in the doorway saying TA DAAA! Cue hysterical laughter from me, was ejected from his house and had a frosty six months in the office.

A really nice guy, we had always come back to my place after a night out - I foolishly suggested going back to his for a change. Everything was ok until we got to the bedroom. He flung back the bedclothes to expose the most hideous grey/green nylon sheets and from the smell wafting off them, it's unlikely they had ever been near a washing machine. I developed a vile headache and escaped.

Like this ?😂

He sent me photos of the bread he baked each day 😫

I dated a guy who would always wear a leather jacket. Gave me the ick for some reason. Then he would take selfies in the bathroom every time he was in one and send them to me. Fully clothed, leather jacket in tow, nothing seedy. But that gave me the ick too. I’m a 2 Icks and I’m out kinda girl!

Not a relationship but I went on a date with a guy who pronounced hospital ‘hospicle’. I finished my drink and left very quickly indeed

I guy I was chatting to from OLD but hasn’t met yet - we had a date arranged the following week.
He started sending daily selfies - not just 1 photo, several a day. Him in bed, in the car, in the gym, at his desk, with a Starbucks etc etc.

Then he sent me a photo just of his legs. I didn’t respond and he messaged ‘haven’t you got anything to say’ I replied ‘Not now im at work’ so he said ‘I expected you to comment on my legs’ so I replied ‘oh ok’ - his reply ‘can’t you see his brown they are? I’ve been on a sunbed so my legs are brown for our date and you can’t even compliment your boyfriends legs when I’ve made the effort all for you’

Seriously WTAF???

Needless to say the date never happened 🤣

These were all the same guy when I was 18 and he was 21

• bought ugly trainers on a date 🙄 wore them out of the shop 🫣.. realised they were too small ten mins later 😩 kept crouching to adjust them.. ended up with heel blisters.
• insisted on getting a shake away.. ordered a ‘boo & terror’ (this was not the name of the milkshake but a part of the Halloween based descriptions on the board) the lady made his milkshake and was shouting ‘mint aero’ which he ignored. She said, you ordered this?! He said no, I ordered a ‘boo & terror’ & she just stared at him blankly. It was hideous.
• had a mole on his ear he affectionately called his coco pop ( I can no longer eat them as I imagine a bowl of moles)
• he smelt funny & made my hand smell funny from holding his hand
• he farted by accident when we were alone lying on the sofa and tried to blame me as if i would not have realised it was him. Then said.. don’t worry I don’t mind 😒
• he said he loved me 😩

Went on a blind date with a guy in the early 2000s, he wore a double breasted sheepskin

mid length coat, loafers & white terry towel socks 😩reminded me of a football pundit from the early 80s 😂 told him my favourite uncle had died & that I was too upset to continue the date- could we reschedule- never! 😂

He asked if he could wash and style my hair.

A long time ago I met a nice guy and was brave enough to ask him out, was ever so pleased when he said yes. First date went well, lots to talk about, really fun night, and I was over the moon when he wanted to arrange a second date. Second date was at a very posh restaurant. We'd ordered and were waiting for the food to arrive when he announced that he needed to talk to me about something important. Turned out that his brother who he lived with was an active member of the National Front. Would that be a problem he asked. Seeing as I am most definitely a person of colour, I had to explain we probably wouldn't be seeing each other again and then endure the mist awkward meal ever. Definitely dodged a bullet there as he stalked me online for about 6 months afterwards 😕

Put me in mind of...

🤣🤣🤣 Aww bless bye bye 👋

He had a pretty big dick when hard but otherwise shrunk right into itself resembling a walnut whip.

Mine are all non PG.

The first one when I was 16 wanted to have sex with me but insisted he needed to put 2 condoms on. By the time he established this wasn’t going to work, I was backing out, looking to get back on the bus home and never saw him again... I did, however, have a very steamy holiday shag whilst dating this one so it was never written in the stars. The next I also met on holiday, same sort of age… I fancied his older brother, who was there with his gf. No worries, we were still going to have a raunchy evening with and we got in the bath as foreplay. It was long and thin. Couldn’t leave fast enough. The third I was maybe 17/18 and it smelled. Ewww.

He'd send me selfies with his tounge out. Nope absolutely not.

All these comments have made me see that all our little personal idiosyncrasies that would put most people off,for your true love they will be the things they love most about you - the signs that you are " the one" for them! When he got the broom out for OP it was the end - but maybe his true love fell for him at the exact moment she saw him sweeping a floor with a broom, flexing his biceps and being all domesticated!😋

@Pompomaker literally crying at “bowl of moles” 😂

He would lovingly flick my fingers back one at a time, it would make me feel absolutely furious & want to tense them so they wouldn’t ping. More than one has done this too. Is it a thing-any others or just me?
