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!

First holiday … boat trip where everyone is diving off the side or at least jumping in. He spent about 20 min wrapping those foam noodles around himself before gingerly going down the steps.

🤣🤣🤣

He picked me up wearing a thin leather yellow tie, over a polo t shirt.

Another one picked me up in a white transit van.

He took me to meet his mum, who was cooking his dinner and shouted, in a singy voice to her 🎶 you done a dinner for my babyyyyyy 🎶

His name was Carl.

He was naked, throwing up over a sink and all I could see were his dangling balls 🤢

All dumped!

😂

I was meeting another one and his bus passed me as I was walking. He was sat right at the back and saw me walking. He slowly turned his head round to look back at me and winked.

I walked straight back home.

I like a cheeky wink.

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.

Not washing hands and signs of poor hygiene is an instant ick for me

QuantumLevelActions · 01/08/2025 07:39

I had secretly lusted like hell for a guy at work for over a year. Finally got together and he referred to sex as 'nookie'.

My vagina dried up and clamped shut. Such a disappointment.

OP have you posted this before? Your first 2 examples sound really familiar 🤔 Here are mine, all different people:

Kept licking my nose on the first date while kissing me - not by mistake - he would purposefully stop mid-kiss to lick the tip of my nose a few times before resuming.

Used to wear a big fleece-lined denim jacket (with jeans).

Gave me a lift on his motorbike and his helmet was way too small for me, couldn't get it on. I have a normal sized head.

Mid 30s, didn't know the difference between yoghurt, mayonnaise and cream and thought they were all made of butter.

Insisted on wearing size L boxer shorts which were way too big for his skinny frame because he thought the size referred to the penis and was convinced his was huge (it was just quite long).

yes I did I posted on a nightmare dating thread I think it was last year :)

Another one, a guy I met when I was a student.

We arranged that he would meet me from work for a walk as our first date.

He turned up in white shorts, a white T shirt, white socks, and trainers. Instant ick.

Bring polite (a people pleaser) I persevered, but during the walk, a friendly little spaniel came to say hello to us, and he was terrified and ran away.

No second date.

Tothink · 01/08/2025 07:44

OMG I had to come back on. I sent my best friend a few of these and she just reminded me of her ex who shouted out real loud ‘shake your booty’ whilst she was on top.

Years later it’s still an inside joke and we all sang her the ‘shake your booty’ song whilst away on her hen do (thankfully she married a different man) 😂

ThatCalmCat · 01/08/2025 07:49

On a date, we had only been seeing each other for a short time. He started telling me some tale about struggling to find a small packet of Haribo rings, and couldnt justify getting a party bag as he only wanted one. I had already started to inwardly eye roll at this and felt I knew where it was going.
He was really hung up on calling me his gf, and was making out he didn't know what to say when his workmates were asking what our status was.. and that he had been wanting to ask me a question with the ring, but he couldn't now because of the lack of small Haribo ring bags.
I was already getting the ick by this point and said I would prefer it if we could just see how it goes as it was still early days.
Then on the train home I was waiting for the loo to be free, and I could see it was occupied, when I checked and could see it was vacant and decided to go, he insisted it was vacant before anyway. He was a bit of a micro aggressor and was constantly contradicting stuff I said, telling me I was wrong.. he cooked us a meal one time before and served undercooked chicken and insisted it was OK because he'd followed the time and temperature instructions. It was pink!
I picked around it and thought to myself that if I got food poisoning perhaps at least he would finally realise!
I dumped him before the train reached our station. Then insisted on walking me home despite me saying I'd rather he didn't.
Also when we DTD the first time he kept telling me to "take my/you love my... young cock" as he was a few years younger than me. I put it down to us both being a bit drunk. Massive regrets that I didn't realise straight away!
Also he had smelly breath but made a big thing about me having garlic breath (once!) and I was mortified!
Ickfest!
Another guy I went on a date with belted out a song at me in the middle of the city centre walking to the pub. He had a nice voice but it was incredibly cringey. Very up himself.
As for the bogey thing... I had something similar happen but fortunately it didn't reach me, just dangled, and when I pointed it out as it was making me gip, he got annoyed with me for "making it a thing". Grim!

MrsMitford3 · 01/08/2025 07:58

Someone I worked with was having a bit of abad patch dating wise and she was so excited to be going out with this lovely man.
It was a friday night and she left work in such a happy mood-he was taking her for a lovely meal.
We all awaited her arrival Monday am-she arrived, stood dramatically in front of all the desks, paused, and said "HE DOUBLED DIPPED"
and that was the end of him 😂😂😂

All different men:

His car absolutely reeked of farts when he picked me up as he'd been trumping in it for the entire 40 min journey

Referred to sex as "smashing your doors in"

Told me that he'd had sex with a sheep!!

ONS - got up in the middle of sex to peel and eat a satsuma (he also stealthily took the condom off and gave me genital warts)

Wet the bed and then hogged 3/4 of it all night, presumably so I didn't realise he'd pissed himself

After he finished I asked him ooh did that feel good? And he told me it "felt good to empty my sack"

Extremely mediocre sex with someone quite inexperienced, then asked me in all seriousness "am I the best lover you've ever had?"

Sent me a picture which accidentally included an unflattering shot of his left nipple, which was extremely long and pointy and on top of a hairless, round breast

Much older man who was supposedly into tantric sex, no foreplay and finished almost immediately, then said "I'll be ready to go again soon"

There are probably more, oh god the men I shagged in my teens/20s! 🤢

Texted me “Can’t wait to meat you” I couldn’t work out if it was a euphemism or he was illiterate but either way he never got to “meat” me.

After his death, clearing out the house, I found multiple letters from my dad to my mum that started "Dear sweatheart..."

SantiagoShaming · 31/07/2025 22:36

Mine seem ridiculous compared to some of these horrors, but they are two different people and both language related. I’m probably weird.

I got massive and irrevocable ick after I noticed a previously fine man held the ‘m’ sound at the end of a word far too long. I couldn’t unhear it and it just drove me mad.

Bummm and hammm were particularly grating, but then he said ‘liPP balmmm’ and it was over.

The other was a guy who seemed to speak in copywriting even though that wasn’t in any way his job. Everything he said sounded like a social media caption. Actual quotes:

“I only had time for a quick dinner last night, so it was baked beans with a perfectly proportionate grating of cheddar atop lightly toasted sourdough, just grazed with a scraping of butter.”

”I’m delighted you’re also a reader of books. There’s nothing so wonderful as whiling away an hour in a cosy nook, engrossed in my latest read, being warmed by a steaming mug.”

Awful.

You went out with Alan Partridge

Cyclebabble · 01/08/2025 08:14

Posted this one before. I had been dating a guy for a few weeks. He was really nice and quite good looking. However he clearly new this and was quite proud of the muscles he had created from working out in the gym. We went out one night and back to my flat. We kissed and moved into the bedroom and on to the bed. His top came off as did mine he then got up with his back to me to performatively remove his boxers. I think the idea was that this would be erotic and show off his arse. However, as the boxers came down he had a trailing piece of toilet paper from what had obviously been a quite recent visit. I do have a bit of a hygiene fetish so I pointed it out. He was mortified and disappeared to the bathroom. I then made some excuse and said I wanted to sleep and he left. We did not see each other again.

That’s cute 🤣 In one of the Wimpy kid films they get a dog called Sweetie and get a dog bowl that arrives saying “Sweaty”

troyandabedinthemorning · 01/08/2025 08:17

Someone I had been seeing for a few weeks. I knew it wasn't going to go anywhere, but he seemed pretty harmless..until he told me he had a surprise for my birthday, and proceeded to do the most awful striptease for me to a cheesy rnb ballad, culminating in him wearing an Ann Summers novelty cock cover thing.

He was completely serious the whole time, and I think he may have even rehearsed it. So so awful

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.

Oh that’s horrible. I dated someone who talked during a meal, and to this day I can’t eat coleslaw.

Did you manage to keep a straight face?

KJsy · 01/08/2025 08:22

Agree with a PP that's it's not always sex that brings on the ick, though I have a few stories when dtd.

One - grown, solvent - man: we went back to his. On arriving he announced, while rubbing his tummy - that he needed a "poo" and to "stay there and not go anywhere" (was sitting on his sofa). When we got to bed, his foreskin was "feeling painful" and he wasn't "prepared for this so soon" (5 dates in). He tried to make up for his sore willy with boring, half-hearted foreplay that led nowhere. In the early hours of the morning I took myself to his loo and although the bathroom was clean and tidy, it stunk to high heaven and there were skids all over the toilet bowl. 🤢 I broke it off with him via text before he could arrange to see me again.

One - grown, mostly solvent, amiable - man sent me a message professing his undying love for me and his eagerness and get to know me and that we had "so much in common" - despite only chatting to him twice IRL and a few times via text.

Another danced liked Mr Bean (he joked a lot about his lack of rhythm and not caring that he looked like a complete twat) wore the cheapest of trainers with a long sleeve shirt - holding a fleece over hand - even in mild warm weather. On more than one occasion.

One thought he was Adonis in bed, but had a little todger and asked me if I was "fucking anyone else"... went on to get actually rather rough/abusive/pornofied in bed... such a massive turn off! Not one bit of squishiness on his toned, muscly, perfectly groomed body. He felt stone dead, if it weren't for his body temp.

A ONS thrusted repeatedly and did the circly thing with his long thin penis. His body was also rock-like.

I have had an even worse ick than these all with one individual - it was my own fault for not getting rid at the first red flag and first ick - but he had a few redeeming qualities which made me stick around far longer than I should have!

Having said all this, I am sure men must get the ick too.

To be honest, I would get the immediate ick from a man who referred to farts as 'trumping'.

So I've just ran this thread by my best friend and her one to add to the list (why are men so icky) is that she had a ONS with a guy after being a at the club and when he came he like held his breath but let out gasps of air a bit like when someone has a heart attack on the telly and it's like faint throat noises.

she apparently genuinely thought he was suffering from a myocardial infarction and asked if he was okay..
