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!

New Years Eve. Would I like to watch a video of his wife’s funeral. She’d died 5 years previously.

,🤣😳 Not sure which to use!

These are all so good!

On a first date when I was in my 20s and the guy kept trying to correct the way the waitress was pronouncing something. When I pointed out that she was pronouncing it correctly, he repeatedly “corrected” us both. It was a Japanese word and I was studying Japanese at the time.

Another one was a guy at uni - I went back to his place and he had a mattress on the floor with just a top sheet, no pillow cases, the sheet looked like it had never been washed. When I went to the bathroom a grim toothbrush was sitting in a mouldy cup, the shower curtain was covered in mould and the toilet was indescribable. I made a very quick exit 🤢 I occasionally think of him and pity the woman he’s ended up with (if anyone stuck around!)

First serious boyfriend. He would say "all the fun of the fair" and wave at other drivers with the same model and colour car (white Avenger, for those who can remember them!).

AmIHumanOrAmIAYeti · 01/08/2025 10:19

A colleague and I had been flirting for a while, but I had a “don’t shit on your own doorstep policy”. He drunkenly asked if he could finger me “right here, right now” at the company’s annual summer BBQ and got angry when I said no.

The random that got his mum to pick him up in the morning - I lived in the city centre less than 5 mins walk from the bus and train stations but he was scared he wouldn’t know which one to get on.

The ex (lived with him) who every month would tell me that his ex would “just have anal” during her period because it wasn’t messy. 🙄

He was on top of me and a massive bogey fell out of his nostril and went into my mouth.

I’m gagging 🤮

KittenyChops · 01/08/2025 10:21

Met in the pub. He took off his jacket to reveal a t shirt with a huge image of a magnet on it and underneath it said ‘Fanny Magnet’

Absolutely spot on. I remember my sister telling me she was watching her tall bloke carrying shopping bags. She said when she saw his bobbing head, above the crowd, and 10 to 2 angled feet, coming towards her, she knew she couldn't be in bed with him again 😂

What is it with the ten to two men? And they always wear grubby white trainers laced far too tight.

@Phoebesparrow 'i'll give it a bit of a wipe if you like'

That is the funniest thing I have ever read on this site.

I'd never use a second hand toy anyway,but it stank
An odd mix of vagina fluid,shit and his cum
I've never in my life seen one so big-at least 2 foot long,thicker than my arm and flesh coloured
I've never got out of a bed so fast in my life

@InstantIck2 I just got off the train,turned around and managed to get back on the right train to go home without seeing him
He did message to say he couldn't see me but I didn't message back and he gave up

@Ohnobackagain I never messaged him again
I shouldn't have gone in the first place as he kept turning the chat back to how he was 'gonna destroy you' in bed but I was (not now!thank you menopause) a people pleaser and figured id meet him and see how it went
I hope so other woman goes near him again-gof knows why he thought he could dominate me out of bed as well as in

He pops up on my fb sometimes as a friend suggestion and I shudder like hell

29HMW · 01/08/2025 10:27

He made an insta account of him singing different cover songs (his Mum told him he was a good singer - she lied) and he just stared at the camera throughout and winked occasionally. Horrific.

When I went on a date to a carvery restaurant. Didn't eat all day in anticipation. He ordered a bloody salad 😂😂😂😂 greedy guts here ate a huuggeee roast dinner 😂😂 not missing out on a roast for anyone 😂😂 he went to kiss me goodnight and I said there's my bus and legged it 😂😂😂😂

You might well feature in his "ick" stories :)

Thispupsgottofly · 01/08/2025 10:28

Guy I was sort of seeing in my 20s used to punctuate every sentence in his texts with x!x like a sort of violent suprise kiss. It was off putting as was the painful love bites he gave me on my arms (why arms?) during the not great sex.

Belladog1 · 01/08/2025 10:32

I just want to say thank you for this thread. I woke up this morning in a weird funky mood .... until I saw this thread, and I have been giggling for the last hour.

A friend of mine was chatting to someone on Tinder for a couple of weeks, who was saying all the right things, but laying it on thick about being romantic and knowing how to treat a woman. They met at his for a pre meal drink and he'd laid out a massage table and run her a bath with candles 'because she deserved to be pampered'. Had books about tantric sex lying around too. She scarpered pretty fast. When she'd mentioned it to a colleague at work, it turned out they'd had exactly the same experience with this man but had slept with him on their first date and was promptly dumped when they woke up the next morning.

I had one of those in my OLD days. Messaged about running me scented baths with rosepetals on day one. Creepy as fuck

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

I wouldn't let him finish...

KLD89 · 01/08/2025 10:38

I went on a first date with somebody, met up for food and we were put in a booth area (table for 4) and HE SAT NEXT TO ME, instead of opposite me. The waitress actually said “oh are you expecting more people to arrive” I wanted the floor to swallow me up. He looked confused & was like “no? It’s just going to be us?” Me and the waitress exchanged glances, she said “oh god, you poor thing” with her eyes and I replied “save me” with mine 😂

I've been laughing at this thread and then had to wonder if I have ever given any bloke the ick!

I suspect everyone has given someone, somewhere, sometime the Ick

Keenovay · 01/08/2025 10:48

Nominating this thread for Mumsnet Classics!

  • His entire body went limp in my arms when I kissed him for the first time, like a silent movie heroine.
  • "London Eye" or almost as bad, swaying hips. Nobody requests this - it's like an ultrasound scan. You know it's something they've read or seen, then added to their repertoire.
  • One night stands with American boys at uni drilled in the art of consent in campuses back home. I appreciate this was a Good Thing, but it felt like having to sign a succession of paperwork for each new act or body part - just seemed very odd to a horny Scot in the 90s.
  • During cunnilingus, he observed that it was like working under the hood of a car.
Belladog1 · 01/08/2025 10:48

I had a long term boyfriend, and we were going to a fancy dress party. He wanted to dress up as Madonna.

I helped him with his outfit, his makeup, his hair. I actively encouraged it. But then he stood in front of me, as Madonna and I felt an instant ick. He was enjoying it too much. He loved the tights (kept saying he wanted to keep them), the short skirt, the makeup .... and I knew at that moment that I wouldn't see him the same way again.

Said ‘exsqueeze me’ instead of ‘excuse me’, it made me heave 😂

Is he the the guy on that annoying advert? 🤭😲

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 01/08/2025 10:57

Sorry, this is 🤮! A very long time ago, after a first date, we were having a snog in his car, when he evidently thought he was on to a good thing and undid his fly. OMG, the smell!

I was off like the proverbial she-bat out of hell!

AMurderofMurderingCrows · 01/08/2025 11:03

Can't believe I forgot this one.

I was an air hostess back in the day and there was a guy I knew on one of my flights. I knew he liked me but he really wasn't my type however I'd agreed to go on a date as i thought he might grow on me. What happened next was completely my fault as I got him and his friend completely pissed 🤣

He was the last to leave the aircraft all the time declaring his undying love for me, much to the amusement of the rest of the crew. Just when I thought he'd finally left, he'd managed to get a hold of the phone at the front of the aircraft and started to sing 'you are the sunshine of my life' over the fucking PA system, all the time being dragged away by the ground crew because the bus was waiting for him with all the other passengers on it.

That was the last time I ever saw him 🤣🤣
