What gives you the ick from the opposite sex

[dotty636]

Just for fun really

Everything (I'm gay)

A man who can’t put a basic flat pack together

And they get criticised for it, but it’s fine for women to feel that way apparently.

If you've never heard men complaining about women being overweight or expecting to be paid for, kindly share whatever it is you're smoking. Must be good shit if it even makes you forget the site is almost exclusively female (and the OP itself is gender neutral; people are welcome to share their turnoffs in women).

Everything. Thank fuck I'm single

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.

Oh get away. They do it constantly and our society, not to mention the tsunami of online porn, lives on the double standards relating to men and women's looks and fuckability. And they're welcome to do it here, the OP's question is gender neutral. It's a site mostly used by straight women, as any fule kno.

Sloping bums

What's a sloping bum? I'm curious now.

Again, you’re holding women to a higher standard than men. It’s absolutely fine for anyone not to be attracted to someone who is fat and hairy (although some of us are quite partial to that!) and by all means, call those women out if you think they’re veering across the line between ‘I’m not attracted to...’ into ‘being fat and hairy is disgusting, let’s mock these people’, but make sure you’re doing that to men too, because women aren’t any less entitled to express their preferences than men are.

Weirdly undecorated house
Noisy eater
Tory, unless in the Rory Stewart mould
Being thick

Everyone has preferences but these things aren't "the ick".

Childish behaviour

Bitten fingernails
Anything that indicates poor hygiene standards
Constant swearing
Lack of independence - relying on other people so it feels like you’re dating a teenager rather than a grown man

Picking nose and then rolling it into a ball to flick.

Exactly, the ick is an instant change, it just happens and over something random often. It's not the attributes you don't like in someone.

I had it once with someone I really fancied, had wanted to date for ages, was great for s couple of months he then just said something random during sex, nothing offensive at all but it was like a switch turning off and I didn't find him attractive at all.

I think I am prone to getting the ick, it happens all the time to me. It's never a gradual thing, one minute I fancy them, the next I don't.

Being obsessed with a hobby to the exclusion of family life etc.
Being very materialistic.
Tory voter.
Lack of hygiene.
Fussy eaters.
Proud of not being well-informed.
Doesn't like animals.
Can't cook/clean etc.
Racist attitudes.

I think some people are missing my point. In some worlds and especially in the MN world, a man who criticises a woman, however slightly, is condemned as every misogynistic vile sexist bullying bastard under the sun, but when women do the same it's fine. Similar when a group of men see a sexy looking woman, anything but averting their eyes is totally unacceptable. Yet a muscular young adonis with tight bins walks past and its weyhey look at the arse on that!!
And yes it does happen.......all the time

Imagine the shit men would get if the feminist board caught hold of a thread like this about women

Of course a man who comes on to a female centric site to complain about women will get short shrift. It doesn't mean that societally and in general, men are silenced from expressing what they do and don't find attractive or can't find porn or sex workers or camgirls to suit them. Give me a break.

The thread is about turnoffs in the opposite sex, and I assume this really means the sex you like. Anyone is welcome to respond. If you can't handle the fact that we are mostly women here and that'll influence the outcome here, I suggest you find another site because you're really going to struggle even more than you are now.

Men with small hands

Men who call women ‘girls’.
Men who call their GF ‘babe’.
Men who wear chains.
Men who insist on paying.

Men who can’t spell.
Men who use hair gel.
Men who hunt / shoot.
Men who explain obvious things.

@MuckyPlucky

What a list! Bet you're single.

Men who play computer games like teenagers.

'Just for fun.'

Bloody horrible thread. As a number of posters have said, the hypocrisy and disingenuousness from some on here is utterly breathtaking.

If a poster said (for example,) 'my DH said he wouldn't fancy me if I gained weight,' there would be cries of LEAVE THE BASTARD.

Some people on here are a disgrace! They're the same type who preach the tedious 'be kind' mantra too!

I'm sure guys have lists on their sites!
In any case, most would read these posts & think 'Thank God that's not me!' (Because they really do all think they are perfect, lol.. )
Myself? Umm.. all the above (although I'm not sure what's wrong with policemen as a PP mentioned!)
I don't like guys who can't drive.. that would be a big thing for me, as I love watching their hands on the wheel / gearstick, from my late Dad to late DH.
Haven't seen anyone a tenth as gorgeous as late DH, so won't be test driving any more. ;-)

My 32 year old husband has bought himself the World Cup sticker book and I've never fancied him less 😂
