What gives you the ick from the opposite sex

[dotty636]

Just for fun really

And that's all that matters. It's easy to crave objective 'perfection' but perfection is truly in the eye of the beholder. I am very happily married but we would both accept that we are far from the stereotypical view of 'perfection'.

Oh...and in answer to the OP. People who use the expression 'the ick' and hypocritical sexism.

Smoking weed.

i can count in one hand the number of weed smokers that are the same when they smoke as when they don’t (personable, friendly, good company) . The rest become self centred arseholes who quickly forget you’re there because they’re too high to care.

so yeah. Instant Ick for any man that smokes weed.

....and worse. Some of men don't just talk, they act out their misogynism....reference all the limitless porn on the internet, onlyfans, revenge porn etc..But NAMALT of course.

Belly button piercings
ponytails

Any kind of grooming beyond being basically clean and tidy. So I expect them to wash themselves, their clothes, cut their nails, trim massive nose hairs - that sort of thing. Don’t like removal of body hair on men (and think the majority look better with a beard), being too self consciously smart, being too fussy about hair cuts, getting a tan in any way that involves effort. I like rugged, outdoorsy men.

When I was young and nasty I once got the ick with someone because I disapproved of his coffee table.

Looking back I am fairly ashamed and would probably give the coffee table a second look if I saw it at a car boot sale.

YY about most of these, especially anything previous comments about hands (small, long nails, bitten stumps of nails, hygiene, etc.)

Tight trousers or jeans, especially if they are ankle grazers, and worse still with no socks and pointy shoes. And they are usually in loud packs 😬

Certain laughs, particularly the aggressive cackles from the aforementioned pack - one is annoying but particularly unpleasant in unison

Too much saliva - when eating, talking, randomly picking teeth with their tongues if food is stuck - gross (although TBF this can apply to anyone)

Low foreheads

Baseball caps on anyone over a single digit age, especially when worn back to front

"Roadman" anything, bad enough on young men but older men like this - just no

Unwarranted comments, from "cheer up, it might never happen" to nastier ones just because you didn't give them the attention they so desperately crave

In my younger days I split from a lovely guy because his voice irritated me, nothing else 😑

TBH, quite a few. If I weren't with my OH I'd be gladly permanently single!

Bad teeth, smoking, drinking too much, not eating healthily enough.

High pitched laughter.

Bad teeth.
Smoking.
Swearing.
Lax personal hygiene.
Beards, especially long or bushy ones. They look like they're auditioning for ZZ Top!

Loud, booming voice.
There's been a couple of times in my life when I've had to vacate a restaurant, and once, a house viewing because of some absolute twat with a loud voice that drowned everything else out.

Small claw like hands
Little feet
Long nails, especially that one ‘guitar’ nail
Office shoes worn with jeans
Skinny jeans but especially jeans with holes in
Waistcoats worn with jeans
Jeans feature a lot. They have to be worn right
Overly trained muscular physiques, men who obviously take roids to achieve that look. They always have the skinniest of legs I don’t know any grown woman who finds that look attractive

Oh and do F off with all the virtue signalling posts, outraged over this thread as it might hurt some mens feelings. Like men never openly discuss their ridiculous standards while looking like a bag o’ shite themselves 🙄

Anything that seems babyish/childish/adolescent.

Beer bellies that make hands, feet and bits look small - like a toddler. Also beer bellies make sex super uncomfortable!

Dressing like children - baseball caps, trainers, trackies

Talking in a baby voice or using childish words (the ex who to squeak 'snuggles?' when he wanted sex, sometimes even with a Violet Elizabeth Bott lithp ...)

Would squeak ‘snuggles’ for sex?

urrrgh even in grossed out and I didn’t hear it.

Small hands. Skinny jeans. Overly groomed sharp beards. Not a fan of beards in general but stubble is good. Bad breath. Body odour.

Nail polish and / or long nails
Loafers or indeed any shoes without socks

Arrogance. And lack of respect towards people in public/customer facing roles.

Men that say ‘good girl’ when youve just won an Oscar for faking it to get it over with.

Men who shout ‘who’s the Daddy’ when orgasming.

(I was young and foolish!)

I don’t like men who are incapable of life admin. It’s a real turn off having an extra child to manage.

Fat men also turn me off, if they don’t love themselves enough to take care of themselves, I’m not going to love them either.

Spending 45 minutes sat on the toilet
Not helping around the house
Sulking

Under arm and chest hair. I don't mind leg hair but he should be smooth from the neck to the belt. Also not a fan of beards beyond a 3 day stubble.

..but sandals with socks are fine! 😂

Smooth hairless men give me the ick.

Neediness.

Mansplaining

Arrogance

Never being happy with what you have

Wanting to change the house every couple of months because of something you've seen in a magazine

Constant negativity, and never being able to see the positive in anything

Saying 'anythink'....it's not even a word FFS

Moaning about someone, so when you offer to raise the subject with the individual, you are told to 'no, leave it, it doesn't matter'

Most of the replies here are just obvious things that most people would find off-putting.

The 'ick' is meant to be an irrational repulsion to a tiny thing that most other people would barely notice. Eg, the way he pronounces a certain word.
