Different standards in oral hygiene??

Some people don't mind BO on high days and holy days??

Dirty fingernails are cool when there's a Y in the month??

Give. Over.

Well if you read some of these threads, you see some women putting up with a lot and not having the ick enough to leave 🤢 some people may not like it but doesn’t mean they’re disgusted by it.

For example my preference isn’t someone who is overweight but it doesn’t give me the ‘ick’ especially not if he is attractive in other ways and if I loved him.

Some people don’t mind men who don’t wash their hands and are a bit grubby, whereas that definitely gives me the ick.

People who say "I'm gonna do" when ordering food in a restaurant. E.g. "I'm gonna do the steak" rather than "can I have the steak please."

People who say "if you can't be good be careful" and "don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Fnar fnar.

I hate that but when people say I did South America or somewhere

Having read another thread tonight ... partners (men or women) who are workaholics. So unattractive. People who feel they are above domestic life ... ICK ICK ICK.

Oh gosh yes, I hate people saying "I did" or "I've done" a destination they've travelled to. So stupid.

Yes I really don't get how you can maintain attraction to someone after smelling their shit, hearing their splashes and seeing them wipe. It's fucking gross.

I find hippie type men unattractive nice as friends

and men who are into yoga 🧘‍♂️

it just doesn’t appeal to me

Being oik-ey. Not meant as a snobbish statement - it's a choice to behave in a brash, ignorant, crude way.

I mean: crude language, bad manners, being thick/ignorant and proud of it, regularly drinking lots of pissy beer and burping, ignorant attitudes, chip on shoulder, stereotypically predictable obsessions (sport, cars,) and objectifying women.

Ooh - and those horrendous cropped trousers, gathered at the shin with drawstrings/toggles.

Enormous trainers. Actually, trainers in general - they are so cliched (unless you are doing sport at the time) and make me think of smelly feet.

Freespirit - I'm not sure if you mean 'women are too picky' (sorry if I've misinderstood) but....I'm going into caps...WOMEN AREN'T PICKY ENOUGH!

Most of the problems which come up on MN wouldn't happen if women were much more discerning about men. I wish women would realise that they can be in a position of power where they hold the cards and hold out for a good quality man. I'm so sad that many women just can't seem to be without a man for any length of time, and settle for rubbish.

Hold out! Even if the right person doesn't come along, isn't it better to keep your autonomy and self-respect (and money, in some cases...) alone that be exploited, belittled, impoverished, humiliated, and worse, by a horrible bloke?

Men who use the word ‘minge’

Iliveonahill · 28/10/2022 09:47

Grown men wearing tracksuit bottoms all the time, and certainly not just for sport. They then think it’s fine to scratch constantly and put their hands down just in case it’s fallen off. Gross.

I completely agree on them points absolutely know your self worth but on some like oh I don’t like the shoes that men wear really that’s so bloody fickle is what I mean

Add to that for me : addicted to porn, wandering eyes, ridiculous expectations re. sex 🤮
