To ask for your most minor, irrational ick?

[trekking1]

The thing that men do that is completely normal to most people, but gives you the ick?

Mine is men wearing long socks with shorts. I'm sorry I just can't

I never knew until I read this post that this is an ick for me. 🤣

Little trainer socks so it looks like they don’t have socks on. Ugh.

And cycling in lycra, with their little shiny, angry bottoms in the air.

Going on about cars like they mean something. Having a fancy car doesn't mean you are successful/ interesting / rich. I once knew a guy who mentioned his vintage car as often as people who went to Oxbridge mention they went to Oxbridge. I really hated him.

Small hands, thin thighs so when we sit next to each other mine look ginormous (I’m not large/overweight but have still experienced this with a few men before - instant turn off!)

Reading/using phone while shitting, pretending to shit. That's a gross one.

When I was a teen, about 16 my biggest ick was hearing my boyfriends mum calling him and his younger brother down for lunch, they both trotted down..I followed. A bit unsure...
For context, At home I bought and cooked all my own meals.
She had set up a twee fancy dining table, and proceeded to make a big fuss, I was perched in the corner.
Bf and bro looked excited. Mum produced a pan of heated tinned ravioli and lovingly spooned them individually into each son's plate. About 5 each, lol
My BF was 18.
I was not offered anything and didn't eat meat.
That scarred me for life for some reason.

It was a fucking Bentley btw. 😂

😂and also when they come off the bike, their little clippy cloppy tap dancing shoes, and then the sweaty lycra short gusset man spreading at the cafe drinking coffee.

People over the age of 7 who use the word "ick".

Are you Violet Bott?

Aversion to swearing.
Calling women 'ladies 'or 'girlies'

Eurgh

I have so many and am completely prepared to be flamed for some of these:

• dry skin (just moisturise!)
• talking with food in their mouth
• asking someone out on a date but not offering to buy them even a drink (I've not experienced this one but my friends have, call me old fashioned but I'd expect the asker to pay)
• dirty fingernails
• smoking/vaping
• back hair /hairy bum
• calling their parents mummy/daddy (or any other babyish variation)
• being a picky eater/unwilling to try new foods

Steeply sloping shoulders from the base of their head to top of arms. Like a triangle instead of a neck.

Ordering steak well done
Wearing button up shirts with shorts
Splitting a bill to the penny and working out the tip on his phone calculator
Baby talk including talking about himself in the third person 🤮
Voting Conservative

This! I didn’t realise it was an ick until DD brought a new BF home with them. Looking at them every week across my own dinner table…. just awful. Nice young man but thankfully he’s history.

Small feminine hands
Foodie
Small feet on a man
Being called a girl. I'm a woman ffs not a girl
Jaguar- all male jag drivers. Gross
Overly shaven pubes or fully off. Yuck
Those hedious brown trainers above
Sunburns
Weird soft grunt, gurgling breathing noises
Men who like musicals
Brabour coats on men
Hugo boss cologne- cheap and nasty
Pattern on Pattern ie. Checked top with stripey shorts - just why
Overly competitive to try and mask how short he is

Agree with many mentioned!

biggest icks for me are smoking, ripped jeans and horrible teeth!

A bit of a niche one but my old manager was also a walking ick, he dressed/acted like he was a member of a 90s Indy band, reeked of fags and spoke about women in the most derogatory way. It was no surprise that he was divorced - though he constantly brought his ex wife up and would call her ‘a psycho’. 🙄

What's double strapping? When they have a second rucksack worn on the their front?

I get the ick when they're too informal when you've just met them, like sprawling in a seat or asking me lots of personal questions. Plus the normal ones like nose hair. A former colleague had lots of warts on his fingers and it made my skin crawl and I felt sorry for his wife. Go to the doctor and get some cream! Ahhh

Interesting! My husband is shaven and I love it!

Oh I have another one- guys that play the guitar. No idea why but it makes me cringe so hard!

Ha! I feel sorry for guys like this. Also smug because mine are nice and square like a coat hanger

Circumcised

Looking at their phone in the cinema
Talking about their digestion
Agree with fussy eating/childish tastes
Slip on shoes, especially with a square upturned toe
Jeans with "decorations"
Any sexual innuendo ever
Jewelry is a case by case basis

Baggage. No thank you. No job. Not interested 🤣

Ankle grazer suit trousers and no socks. Such a bad look.

Shaved legs 🤮
