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

The feminism board sees this shit about women all the time, so often that it’s not even newsworthy tbh

Take your whatabouterey over to Pistonheads where they’ll give a shit!

DoubleBuggyDriver · 21/10/2022 13:05

Men are allowed to have preferences and so are women.

Men are allowed to get the ick and so are women.

So what if someone says a fat man gives them the ick. I’m sure some men think a fat woman gives them the ick. On the flip side there will be people who loves fat man AND fat women. It’s really not that serious

CoolAngelica · 21/10/2022 13:07

UK Punting is full of that shit

reigatecastle · 21/10/2022 13:13

Hipster beards. They are vile.

reigatecastle · 21/10/2022 13:14

And it's easy to shave a beard off if you don't like people like me being rude about it, not so easy to reduce the size of your breasts if men keep staring at them constantly and remarking on them. It's a very different power dynamic.

Mens taste in women, preferring boobs to brains

Some women prefer six packs to brains, to be fair.

Short tight trousers and shoes with no socks 🤢

Toes with hair on them.

Guy, who clicked his fingers to get the bar tenders attention. Then said 'keep the change, whilst looking in the other direction.

Guy, who did a quick but weird darty tongue lip lick after each laugh. It was too lizardy for me and that a shame because I am fond of real life reptiles.

Guy who deep frowned everytime he asked question. 'Did you noticed to loo or the way in?' Hard stare with deep frown. I found it a bit intimidating.

Howling with laughter at this . “A shame because I am fond of real life reptiles”

Wandering round looking for a Mam to look after them.
Neediness or creeping dependence.
‘Just tell me what I need to do’ with a gormless expression on their face.
Initially - my ex girlfriend is crazy. Yeah of course mate.

Underroad · 21/10/2022 13:41

I’m gay so I’ll do one about women.

I irrationally can’t cope with:

nail varnish
hair like Justin Bieber
Crocs
drinking squash
long, thin feet
”hollybobs”
live, laugh, love signs as home decor
ditto cream leather sofas 🤢
owning a poodle
Using question marks at the end of every sentence when there isn’t a question, like this????

OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss · 21/10/2022 13:43

Bad teeth
Shit shoes or jeans
Asking no Qs about me and wanging on endlessly about themselves.

@MuckyPlucky

What a list! Bet you're single. Wink

Men who play computer games like teenagers.

Biscuit

Hahaha! No, not at all single. I don’t stick around people (of either sex) who I don’t like or who give me the ick so I’ve chosen well with my partner, who I’ve been happily with for years. 😊
Prior to that I also had a healthy happy marriage for years.

…So I’m afraid I’m very much taken - sorry to break your heart 🤣

HadEnough798 · 21/10/2022 13:49

When they're rude or talk down to staff in various occupations (waitresses, shop assistants, etc).

Was having a lovely holiday romance, amazing sex, genuine spark, and then on the way back on the plane he spoke rudely to the air hostess.

Instant ick. Turned my stomach. Mentally ended it there and then.

AffIt · 21/10/2022 13:53

I've told this story on here before.

Years ago, I went out for dinner with a man who was perfectly acceptable and indeed desirable on paper, but ordered sausages and ate them all in one go after spearing them with a fork, like a character from the Beano.

Instant ick.

There was no second date.

TwoBlondes · 21/10/2022 13:58

Farting

Tongues down your throat, kissing so much nicer without

CeltictigerMum · 21/10/2022 14:06

Hoiking up phlegm on the side of the road. Makes me want to throw up. It's disgusting.

Worldgonecrazy · 21/10/2022 14:13

I had a great lover, then we went abroad together and it turned out he was one of those that thinks speaking louder in English would make him understood by the locals.

Anazingly, out of his earshot, several of them spoke really good English if spoken to politely and thanked in their native language.

I couldn’t wait to get home.

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 is being in the police "unsavoury"

Obki · 21/10/2022 14:28

This thread is making me feel really queasy.
