Lighthearted!! Just that really. I love hearing these

ill start:

went on a date with someone and we played shuffleboard and after every turn of his he would loudly exclaim 'GO ON THE TSG' (his initials) he also did it after random sentences like 'I'll get this drink, YES THE TSG)

another guy would say WOOP WOOP and BOOM after every sentence. He ordered a steak and said to the waiter 'I'm going to have the steak please, well done, (another ick) WOOP WOOP

Another guy we were DTD and he kept thrusting in a complete circular motion and I quite literally dried up and left

another DTD time and the guys top lip and nostrils would spasm / quiver - I could get past that though.

please tell me yours, I could do with a laugh!

Exactly.. we don’t want sex as much as they do so can say no easily, and be put off very easily. Anything odd, cheesy, smelly, cringy, too feminine, their walk, voice, clingyness etc etc
Not just sex but love can be ruined by ick.. I was besotted with someone but something he was doing totally put me off and it never came back. He couldn’t understand it

Ick sticks!

I have no idea why that posted multiple times.

It really does. Nature designed us to have good standards I guess!

Had an ex, who I had just split up with but was unsure of my feelings towards him.

As I was leaving the house, he collapsed on his knees dramatically sobbing, grabbing at my trousers and begging me to stay.

I asked him why I should stay, and he said behind a face full of tears: I've always wanted you to peg me.

Fortunately the ick made me pretty certain of my feelings towards him.

oldmanandtheangel · 01/08/2025 01:59

Wandy Wichard also called my bits, 'Mrs Honeypot'. That was the last straw. Or, Stwawwww....

Another Richard (Richard, not Wichard) tied a manky old sock around his dick to keep it hard . I laughed so much he went completely limp and was furious with me. He also stood naked over my face once (how I don't know, as he's 6ft 5) and I looked up and saw bog roll stuck on his arse. I feigned a headache on that occasion.
There was the gorgeous actor/ ex model who gave me the ick when he told me that when he voted Labour, he 'dressed to the left'. Now he was Conservative, you guessed it.. he hoiked it over to the right.

Jimmyneutronsforehead · 01/08/2025 01:59

Also another ex who could not eat an apple at a normal apple eating volume. It's like it echoed in his mouth to the extreme, and he just would not stop eating fucking apples.

oldmanandtheangel · 01/08/2025 02:05

The GC guy... first night at his, joked about 'mind the poo stains' on the bed. I just assumed he'd been eating chocolate in bed. Unfortunately, that was not the case....
And he was cross with me because I didn't use my staff discount in IKEA to get him 15% off a £1 toilet brush. (which I doubt he'd have removed poo stains with anyway, as they were all on the bed). We didn't last long...

Ew, I'd have run a mile as soon as he said it.

My BILs bedroom is right next to the bathroom, but he still chooses to piss in a jug and chuck it out of the window. He is in a long distance relationship, and I often think does she know? What is her hill to die on? Is it shit stirring if I tell her? What if she spends thousands of pounds to come from Uganda to England just to find out he is a mucky disgusting bugger and she gets the ick all because nobody has told her?

Frankly I wish it's something I'd never found out, but I found out the hard way by trying to open the front door when a big wet slosh hit the awning over the front door and made me jump a mile. He owned up to it like it's completely normal behaviour.

Brendahollowayreconsider · 01/08/2025 02:19

Does his front door not reek of stale piss 🤮

First date, he worked in finance, I'm a nurse. Had quite a few drinks and we each bought equal rounds.
Then went for a really cheap Chinese in China town in a place with plastic tables and chairs and we shared special fried rice. When we finished he said shall we go 50/50.
We then got a taxi home, my flat was on the way to his so I paid the fare to where I lived.

Second date he complained about the cost of the taxi home from the first date, so wanted to leave early enough to get the train, fair enough I thought.

Third date he complained about the cost of drinks in a pub near to where I lived in west London, as where he lived south of the river it was much cheaper, and he couldn't afford it as although he lived with his parents he was saving to buy a house. I was absolutely starving so he told me to buy a packet of crisps. He wanted to come back to mine after the pub but by this time I'd got the serious ick at his stinginess and he stormed off in a huff when I said no. Never heard from him again.

Stinginess is the worst! I once went on a date with a guy who got an ACTUAL CALCULATOR out of his pocket to work out how to split the bill exactly.
I should've accepted that as a sign not to go any further but I was with him two years and it got worse..
He earnt 3x the amount I did as well and his dad owned a successful company and was loaded... but this guy was here working out when he could turn the car engine off to coast and save petrol. He would write down where on the routes he drove it was possible to do that then tell me...

Liveinthewoods80 · 01/08/2025 02:35

"he would kiss in a weird way and keep his eyes open staring at me. "

Idk why I find this one so funny but I'm crying here 😂 😂 😂

"he told me he thought Donald Trump was amazing… and started talking like him."

My bloke does this too, and thinks he's hilarious, but at least he hates DT, so it's ok 😂 😂 😂

Loving this thread!!

I don’t think men get it like women get it.
They would pretty much put up with anything just to get a ride, but I feel when women get repulsed on a deeper level, then they can’t have sex with them again once this happens.

Men get the ick as badly as women do. I have years worth of funny stories from my male best friend.

AMurderofMurderingCrows · 01/08/2025 00:59

Told me to keep my 'front bum' warm for him

Not me but a friend DTD and he shouted 'yeehaw' every time he came.

Many years ago went out with a guy who would come into the pub I worked in and sat at the end of the bar staring at me like some weird love sick stalker.

Omg, this is so funny 🤣 😂 🤣

Ferrissia3 · 01/08/2025 03:07

Worldwide2 · 31/07/2025 22:28

This has literally made me cry laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I would actually like this 🤣

My most memorable is probably the guy who wet my bed after drinking too much. He was lovely guy and so horrified - I felt really bad for him, but its difficult to make the ick go away once it's there...

Oh whoops I've quoted the wrong post - I meant the pool noodle guy.

Also, thanks to the 'recieve my dick' poster - that was the best laugh ive had in a while :-)

spoonbillstretford · 01/08/2025 03:11

I went round to his house and he had frozen a gone off banana to share as a sexy treat. I think just to eat but who knows.

Toddytoddyrumskin · 01/08/2025 03:17

He suddenly pulled a face and reminded me of my ex.

Another one told me to not shave my legs or armpits.

Another one was obviously leaving the loo without washing his hands.

I had a boyfriend many years ago who was charming but very stingy.

His mates used to rib him about the time they all went on a skiing holiday to Italy and went to a restaurant for dinner, where the menu was in Italian.

He, of course, ordered the cheapest thing on the menu, without having any idea of what it was.

The waiter brought him a bowl of raspberries 😂 😆

mrschocolatte · 01/08/2025 04:11

@Devonshiregal No he wasn’t called Tim. Mine was a Mark. Shuddering at the thought that there are more ‘saucy wench’ guys than we realised!

mrschocolatte · 01/08/2025 04:15

@SeriouslyStressed No, I think mine was more Home Counties than Brummie. I’ve got the ick just thinking about him again.

OlympicProcrastinator · 01/08/2025 04:40

When I was 16 I agreed to go on a date with a Sky engineer who worked at my parents house. I knew he was a bit older but didn’t realise how old until he turned up for our date with his toddler daughter. We ended up taking her to the park and at one point he asked me to take her to the toilet. I said no. He was 30.

He also turned up wearing a woollen jumper with knitted sheep and a farmyard scene on it.

I also went on a date with someone who went to the toilet in a pub on our date and was in there a very long time. When he came out it was clear he’d taken a massive dump as the smell had completely clung to his clothes. He absolutely reeked of shit.

I left both dates early.

Spindrifts · 01/08/2025 05:38

Goodness! I thought I had left all this kind of stuff back in the 70s. You mean it still exists. Yuk!

InstantIck2 · 31/07/2025 21:24

DTD - started yelling “Receive my di*ck. RECEIVE IT” repeatedly throughout

😂😂😂

Zanatdy · 01/08/2025 05:59

It’s funny how you can get the ick. Guy at work i’ve had a thing about for 5yrs (and have had sex with him a few times, we have a casual thing going on) came to work wearing shorts and Tshirt in the last heat wave. I don’t know why, but at 6ft guy wearing shorts and carrying his backpack and anorak really gave me the ick. He was also wearing shorts when I went over a couple of weeks ago but that wasn’t so bad, just in the office it was a big no!! I’d rather unbutton a pair of jeans than shorts though, but after a few G&T’s it was fine. But it has changed my slight obsession with him, which is a good thing. Thanks heatwave!

DeathNote11 · 01/08/2025 06:14

Waking up in the middle of the night thinking my back was bathed in sweat, but it was actually his piss. It was then all 'weyhey' from his family as if it was some affectionate little idiosyncracy. 'Ahhh, it must have been a good night for him to get in that state' like it was something to be proud of. Ick is an understatement, dirty bastard.
