Obsessed with weights and fitness
Weird diets (only eating protein etc) to support gym and weights obsession

Liberal Democrats (just why? It's like plain crisps and Coldplay music. Why do they even exist?)

That thing men seem to be doing where their trousers are a bit too short and they wear loafers with no socks. Can you imagine the stench when those loafers come off?

Any grown man who talks about PlayStation or Xbox or whatever the others are.

Any man with Boris Becker eyelashes. Or indeed a penchant for having sex in restaurant broom cupboards.

Aftershave containing oud. It makes men (and women) smell unwashed.

That weird inverted triangle body shape that gym rats get. Are we supposed to fawn over them? It makes them look like they've got an American football shoulder pad shirt on. Or one of Krystal Carrington's frocks.

Any man who uses the word 'banter' or worse, 'bants'

Plonque · 22/12/2020 16:25

Long fingernails on men. Anything more than the teensiest sliver of white sends shivers down my spine, and not in a good way! 🤮

FastFood · 22/12/2020 16:30

@alltinselandbaubles

Men, every single one of them.
"let's move together"

I'm out, and a Uber is already waiting for me.

Sorry didn't mean to quote that, it doesn't really make sense with my answer (but I agree though 😂)
