Funniest reason you got "the ick"...

A fair few years ago, I was with a really hot bloke from the Netherlands. Tall, dark haired and really good looking. He was also nicely endowed in more intimate areas.

We'd had sex a couple of times and were just learning what we both liked etc. Third occasion is in full swing, and he's on top. He pauses for a minute, and let's out a really loud fart which ordinarily wouldn't be an issue because they're funny. It was really nasty and we had to stop so I could open a window. Fortunately we weren't being loud.

We're getting back into things and I can tell he's getting close but he starts moaning really loudly because he's ALSO farting really loudly and is trying to hide it by moaning like a porn star, and then there's the fact that he can't hide the smell, and it hits me again and the over performative moaning/the actual farting, and the fact that the entire street must have heard him, meant I just couldn't do anything but laugh and gag.

Neither one of us finished and he was mortified. I couldn't stop giggling. It made him sulk. I couldn't help it.

Unfortunately, any sexual attraction I had, completely evaporated. Fortunately, his flight home was the next morning and I didn't have to spend days with him. We never met up again.

Was he from Montana or Wyoming or something or was he just pretending? 😂

He worked in a burger van in West London - not a horse in sight 😂 English through and through.

He picked me up to go out for the evening and turned up in full cowboy mode. I think they were his best "going-out-on-a-date" clothes....

The boots were REALLY pointy, not those slightly rounded ones. And more tassles than a fucking showgirl.

I think we ended going back to his because I didn't want to be seen out in public with him 😂

One guy: during our third date he thought baby talk was a good idea, e.g., "kissy-wissy", "cuddle-wuddle", "pretty-witty"... Nope.

Another: he used to drink a 'medical' concoction he'd bought online. He said it'd stop him from ever getting ill, and that "big pharma" were attempting to discredit and bury the doctor who'd developed this miracle cure-for-all. He forced me to try it once... It contained BLEACH in it.

Another: he was rather overweight and short, and for some reason he thought that lying on his (single) bed in his undies and stroking my body with his tiny, pudhydg, foot, was alluring. Nooope.

I've just realised that I'm incredibly shallow, lol

  1. Really nice bloke, into his music, slim/fit but had a really round face.
  2. Again, nice bloke, lots in common but he had a prominent adams apple, which I could not stop looking at when he spoke.
  3. He wore an old cowl neck jumper on the first date.
  4. Was allergic to cheese
  5. Several missing teeth
  6. Wore white socks

I'm sure there's loads more but these stood out.

Iwasjustasking · 07/04/2025 22:14

He bought me a teddy and a watch and then wrote me a note to go with it to say “it wasn’t real gold as he had first thought” He had bought it for a tenner from the local market and he thought it would be real gold?! Instant ick!

ilovepixie · 07/04/2025 22:14

Had a wart on his head. Freaked me out!

NeilDiamondsBlowDry · 07/04/2025 22:14

@ExpatMum41 is he still alive do you know ?

He painted a portrait of my cat.

If I recall, this is the exact reason that Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated, which in turn triggered World War I. 🐱

This going to sound really shallow but he had a really small penis, like thumb size. I did have an orgasm but not through penetration but I just felt completely unsatisfied because I couldn't feel a thing when he was inside me. Put me right off.

Doesnt sound shallow to me! If I've learnt anything in my few years of "milking" men it's that, FOR ME, size does matter. No, not to the extent of rejecting below a certain length or girth, but just going into internal hysterics over tiny ones.
Gosh I sound like I'm a "different one every night" gal. NO but I'm no v.
Anyway the reason I replied here was re you saying you couldn't feel a thing. With me, a tiny one tickled! And it wasn't a case of "is it in yet?", more "are you sure it's hard now?".
Internally I was thinking "how can he tell?" and "how soon shall I fake?".

The long nails are worse than the luggage thing 🤮

I briefly dated a guy who didn't eat meat or vegetables. And he walked and talked really slowwwllly

Probably weak through malnutrition.

@Crinkle77 - yeah, I went out with a guy like this too, incredibly small in that department, my secret name for him was Justin. Didn’t last long.

He wrote me a poem which had a line about taming wild horses...

Wine has just run out of my nose laughing at that and then trying to imagine the rest of the poem

TwistedWonder · 07/04/2025 22:21

I went in a couple of dates with a man and things were going well. There was definitely an attraction and after a few drinks we went back to his for a coffee.
We got a bit amorous on the sofa and there was some foreplay (but not full sex) - he then sucked his fingers one by one and went ‘oh yeah tasty’ in a really strange voice that sounded like a voiceover from a 1980’s advert by a radio DJ.

Funnily enough the idea of sex disappeared rather rapidly afterwards and I made my excuses to get home.

The first (and last time) I slept with someone I'd had a few dates with and really liked, he made absolutely no noise whatsover during sex. Nothing, not even when he came. It felt completely robotic and I had no idea if he was even enjoying it, until he wanted to "go again". Eww, it was so weird. I'm not loud by any means, but I'd never been with a man who didn't emit at least a few sounds of pleasure!

This sounds like as ex of mine. He got married last year and it occasionally crosses my mind that his wife married silent dan.

Siriusmuggle · 07/04/2025 22:22

This must be almost 30 years ago. But he wore cowboy boots but pixie boot length ones, then while we were waiting for a taxi he said to some random bloke with some bog standard tattoo “cool tatt man”.

I was dating a guy up until recently, he gave me the ick a lot, I’m not sure why I stayed with him (madness maybe?!)

One memory that sticks with me. He was the kind of guy that couldn’t be outdone by anybody, even if it was clear that he wasn’t skilled a certain area. I’m a keen yoga enthusiast, we were talking about it one night whilst in bed (naked) and despite him never having been to a yoga class he decided to show me his “tree pose”. He was 16+ stone and this naked man stood at the end of my bed hobbling around trying to do a tree pose, rather than just accept that there’s some things he wasn’t good at, still makes me laugh and shudder.

Oh god, were you like namast-no?

You went out with Donald Trump????😂

breadpie · 07/04/2025 22:25

He went to bingo every Monday 😳

bigkahunaburger · 07/04/2025 22:29

He had really really ridiculously saggy balls that swung against my leg like a ball in a long sock. it was so grim.

Had old walking shoes that curled up at the end and wore them everywhere. My friends called him elf shoes.

Haha in my house these are called shit flickers 🫣🤣

500mileslong · 07/04/2025 22:33

Got together on a one night stand, he was hot as hell and had the best drunken night ever. Saw him again sober and he had the same shoes as my dad, loafer type things with a tassel on 🙈 Instant ick, couldn’t shag him and his dad shoes again.

I was an undergrad and I had a huge crush on a friend of a friend. Went to see him in some sort of musical society production thinking "oh my god, he sings too! How amazing". He opened his mouth and out came a sound like a strangled crow. Months of teenage lust evaporated instantly

Oh my goodness. I think I had the same experience. Hope it wasn’t the same bloke?
was it up North?

NeilDiamondsBlowDry · 07/04/2025 22:35

@500mileslong I call those ‘crooners shoes’

He had a leather jacket - but it was a cowboy-style leather jacket. Complete with tassles.

And then I looked down and noticed he was wearing pointy cowboy boots too.

Absolutely fucking not. Game over.

I felt you meant this one

Sharkknife · 07/04/2025 22:36

Drank pints of whole milk, his breath smelt like a toddler
