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!

Oh god,I forgot about Steve (real name-im past caring)

We met when a mutual friend set us up

He had a motorbike (my father is a biker so I've grown up with them) and that seemed like a good starting point

(This was a goldwing which my father hates-I should have ran away when I saw it)

I didn't really fancy him but had crushing low self esteem at the time (due to abusive parents) and put up with a lot from partners and didn't see any red flags (thanks to mumsnet,I've raised my standards soooo much since)

Anyway,we'd been seeing each other for a few weeks and finally ended up in bed

He went down and sort of prodded me a bit with his tongue and pinky finger while asking if I was 'close' (nowhere near mate!) before snarling at me that 'it's you!I'm bloody good at oral I am'

He then came up and kissed me without wiping his mouth

I almost threw up-he got angry and told me 'it's your juice' with a disgusted look on his face

That may have been true but I don't want to fucking taste it

Instant ick

He left and dumped me the next day (I was so relieved) and told our friend a pack of lies about me and she dumped me too!

I should have known that bloody bike was a bad omen

So many.

My first boyfriend used to call going to KFC ‘going for a Kentucky’ .. don’t know why but it really annoyed me.
🤣
I was 18 and going to uni and thought it was time to split up.. he said ‘But I thought we would die in each others arms’ 🤮

Went on a date with some guy and as I approached he laughed and pointed at my shoes.. I was wearing heels and he was uber casual. Same guy used to write what he was eating and ‘Om nom nom’ over text messages. Instant ick.

Another ex had this thing were he would use the hairdryer first thing in a morning. He had short hair but the first thing he’d do on waking was have a quick blast of the hairdryer.

After a date and back at my flat a guy asked for an apple and a knife and took ages peeling it and telling me ‘this is what I do, it’s how normal people eat an apple’ 🤣

Went on a first date with a guy. He had to nip to his parents house and they were smoking weed in the kitchen. He didn’t have a bed. It was a bare mattress on his bedroom floor. No covers or anything!
He was wearing a T-shirt with Sesame Street on and looked at me and said ‘how much do you want me?’ 🤣

I could go on and on!

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.

Edited

If you're weird then I'm weird. Shite magazine editorial man is the worst example on this thread—did he say those things out loud or were these text conversations? Either way unforgivable.

The guy (ONS) that went downstairs for a wee (my house had a downstairs bathroom) and came back with the wooden kitchen roll holder and a hopeful expression. (He thought it was just the thing to pleasure my vagina with while his dick was in my arse.)

I couldn’t throw him out quick enough.

WTAF!?!??

pictoosh · 01/08/2025 11:31

A very varied range of ickiness on this thread.

I wonder what men would say on an equivalent thread about women? They must experience these things too.

I remember Chandler on Friends getting the ick with Joanna because she always had a blob of mascara in the corner of her eye.

🤣 🤣 so much easier to say 11 numbers in one go

He was like "0"

Masssive pause.

Me - "Yeah"

He looks down

"7"

Me "Yup"

He looks down.

I sigh, loudly.

He looks back up at me. Then down. Again, slowly.

Him - "Are you ready?"

Me - "YES!!"

Him - "Errrr, so you have the 0 and the 7?......."

Me - Considers caving his head in with a heavy bottom vase.

Me - " 07, yes...."

Him - "7"

Me - "Another 7 or the same 7?"

He looks down.

Him - "Another 7.........so you have 2 7's"

WHAT I HAVE IS A FUCKING STROKE.

Me - "077, yes"

He looks down.

I die inside.

Him - "It's another 7"

A pause so long I could've genuinely meal prepped for the week.

Me - "Do I need to say yes after every number?"

Him, looking confused - "....might as well"

When I tell you this phone number is 300 digits long.

And wasn't there one about him getting put off by a woman whose second toe was longer than her big toe?

IFoundYou · 01/08/2025 11:41

From the funny to the repulsive to the downright sad.

One wanted me to say 'Come in Mr XXXX we've been expecting you' in the voice of Ms Moneypenny to James Bond

Decent looking bloke but unfortunately a bit fat. We only saw each other at weekends so to break the 'ice' he greeted me at the door on my arrival completely naked. Then we sat and had tea with him naked. I think he thought it would turn me on and get me in the mood for sex. Obviously had the opposite effect. Even if he had been an adonis this wouldn't have worked.

The downright sad. Dating a guy I really liked and first time DTD I didn't realise it was in as I couldn't feel anything. He was tall but very slim and it seems his penis was the same. I had never encountered this before and it was just so much of a let down. It was also the quietest sex I've ever had. Literally no sounds from either of us. (He told me prior he often had trouble finishing during sex and so would fake it so I don't think he could feel anything either. Made me realise the importance of girth in a penis regardless of length).

If I may on that basis.

Fake tan. Just no, there was one date where she hadn't cleaned her hands properly afterwards, it was like a molten metal swirl pattern.

Dates where I'm genuinely looking forward to the food at the restaurant I agonised over choosing only for them to order a small salad. (When I met my DW, on our first date she ordered the Sausage and Mash with a side of onion rings. Keeper, right there.)

One date which I was genuinely dissapointed about, lovely drinks out and a film, getting on like a house on fire, went for the kiss at the end....... It was like the wind was collectively removed from both our sails. Once the kiss finished, a quick mutual 'Bye,' parted ways and never even messaged again. Just didn't feel at all right. A real shame as she was stunning.

As an aside, where I used to live in Coventry there was a horribly rough pub that I used as my date fallback plan. If it wasn't going well but they felt it was I would take them there. 2 out of three times they politely made excuses and left at that point. I probably am in an ick comment somewhere further back on that basis.The one that didn't run away, turns out her family all frequented it and I didn't realise!

Defiantly41 · 01/08/2025 11:45

@ScaredOfRatif you’ve ever seen the film “The Tall Guy” with Jeff Goldblum and Emma Thompson, Joanna Kanska has a line during a sex scene “pump me Mr Petrol, pump me” - so it may have been a movie quote! Very funny film as I recall (although a long time ago) 1989- early Richard Curtis

SharpLily · 01/08/2025 08:24

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

That's all you took from that list? OK... 😂

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

This makes me want to puke

jeaux90 · 01/08/2025 11:52

I was seeing a Barrister, so on the surface you’d think super sensible etc. he had a really close friend. They had branded each others initials on their buttocks. Massive ick on so many levels.

Icanttakethisanymore · 01/08/2025 11:52

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’

😂😂😂

I actually laughed out loud at that.

Posh boys (I’m assuming he’s posh, being a barrister) are always a bit too keen on getting drunk and naked with their mates in my experience.

More like "return to sender!!!"

neverbeenskiing · 01/08/2025 12:00

Also had a couple of the grinding circular motion men.... What is that all about??

I can't believe so many of us have experienced this! I always assumed that the human gyroscope I had the misfortune to end up in bed with was an anomaly, but it's obviously a 'thing'!🙄

Maybe there needs to be some sort of national media campaign to raise awareness.

AleynEivlys · 01/08/2025 12:00

He thought the lyrics to Build Me Up, Buttercup were 'Fill me up, buttercup'.

Made me feel sick.

My husband did this to me in the early days which I hated as it hurt

Told me that his mission in life and main focus is to become a tory MP and that his future wife will need to be somewhat right wing.
