Racist, sexist, homophobic liars generally.

Simonjt

You're giving me the ick.

Hamster1111 · 21/10/2022 19:17

Long finger nails on men. Eugh.

You’re more than welcome to the racist, sexist, homophobic liars

wb3 · 21/10/2022 19:21

You're more than women to your ill-informed viewpoint.

Absolutely everything. Fuck the lot of them 🖕

Sadly I feel like this which, as a straight woman, leaves me ....... well, single. I quite enjoy being single really 😚

Beetlekiwi · 21/10/2022 19:44

Loud exhausts/driving fast unnecessarily 😬

Oh and I forgot this thing my DH does - when he has a cold, he does this disgusting noise in the back of his nose - I guess you would call it a sniff, but it's deeper inside his head than than a normal sniff - it sounds like the cartilage in his nose creaking and it absolutely makes my skin crawl.
I'm sure he does it just to piss me off - and might just be the reason my sex drive has been MIA for a year 😩

I went on a date with someone, really liked him and we were getting on well. Then he pulled out his phone and it was in a homemade (by him) case made from old jeans. Instantly killed it for me. Not even sure why - I think maybe because it’s more impractical than a normal case and made him seem cheap for not just buying one 🤷‍♀️

Was it a well-made case?

Not being able to drive

Hi Viz jackets

Kilts (sorry)

Men who like Marvel/DC like it’s a personality trait - same goes for star wars and Disney

Riding electric scooters

Not having WhatsApp

Driving e scooters or WORSE having a backie on one.

EatingCoats · 21/10/2022 20:08

@ReneBumsWombats no, it was literally 2 pieces of material sewn together, and way too big for the phone. Like a massive pocket.

XenoBitch · 21/10/2022 20:10

Long beards. I just think of trapped food, skin flakes etc.
I know beard care is a thing now with all the oils and grooming products you can buy. Maybe it is the men I know with beards that are particularly gross.

Still ick and a huge turn off for me.

Vitriolinsanity · 21/10/2022 20:13

Just today sagging jeans with the pants bit sewn on.

OrchardBlack · 21/10/2022 20:14

Simonjt · 21/10/2022 11:52

Obviously all the isms, so sexism etc.

Poor personal hygiene
Bad manners
Finger nails long enough to have any white nail (well a phobia really)
An unsavoury job, like abbatoir, police etc.

How the fuck is policing even remotely comparable to worming in an abattoir?? Do you include DC's working in child protection? Inspectors working in PSD? PCSO's on neighbourhood teams? What about nurses, after all Laura Letts is being investigated for killing dozens of them in her care? Or doctors after Harold Shipman became the biggest serial killer the UK has ever seen?
Ludicrous post.

Football fan - extra ick if wearing a nylon football top. Shudders.

Dancefloortragedy · 21/10/2022 20:25

Was with someone for quite a while, ended it ubruptly when he unpacked his hair straighteners.

Someone I had crazy sexual chemistry with. After a long build up we finally slept together but straight away I got the ick. Still not certain why, think it was a combination of his lips being too rubbery, his 'sex face' and his candle like dick.

Yeah, that's a bit shit. If it was a well-crafted piece of artisan upcycling, I'd be impressed.

Probably worth the price of dinner to be able to tell that story, though.

Imagine if this thread was reversed about women, should be ashamed of yourselves! Double standards at its best right here!

I can't really explain it but it's when the middle bits meet. Like the attached photo

HAHA omg I hate this too😂 it pisses me right off and I don’t know why

alotoftutus · 21/10/2022 21:00

@TweetnDour awww see I like a man that can pull off flip flops. Not like Jesus sandals but something about a man in flip flops gives me the vibe they are chilled adventurous snd could have a deep philosophical conversation- no idea why lol.

I also am partial to a grey tracksuit lol

Sigh. For the fifth time, the thread is gender neutral, it's just that the audience happens to be largely female and straight. Some gay women and straight men have commented too. In addition, if you think men don't often talk, frankly and loudly, about what they don't like in women then I want to live in your world. There are entire websites dedicated to men rating and reviewing sex workers; every now and then we get an influx of these gentlemen when we make fun of them.

It's a mostly straight and female site. If you can't handle that, perhaps Reddit or UK Punters will be more your scene.
