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!

At uni I let my friend and her boyfriend stay in my room one night because we'd been out very late and she was miles away from her place. I was with a male friend and asked if I could stay in his room. I'd always been keen on him and he on me. When he was ready for bed, he took his jeans off. He had the weirdest underwear on id ever seen. Long padded cotton pants down to his knees..sort if like waddiing that had been stretched out of shape. He looked.like a cross between a giant baby and a demented scout master. I pretended I hadn't seen as he stood there going bright red. To this day I dont know what kind of underwear it was supposed ro be..

At the end of any statement/question saying “isn’t it, Missedthis, isn’t it?”

It honestly nearly moved me to violence, but I settled for saying “No, it fucking isn’t” and leaving.

Eh?

What a pig!
I went on a date one time with someone who went on and on about how gorgeous the women are in Newcastle upon Tyne, and that men should get themselves there to bag one. I'm not from Newcastle.😂

Pity the Geordie women having to put up with the likes of him. Naturally, never saw him again.

Every single photo he took he stuck his tongue out this was a 30 something year old man

Oh god the pokey tongue thing. Nope. Never, and certainly on a man…..

You dislike a man for asking what you enjoy during sex? Men are specifically asked by women to communicate better and ask about sexual preferences, this man listened, and you disliked that?

Are you a man by any chance 🤣

EarthSight · 01/08/2025 20:13

Are you sure she didn't say 'Poomp meh'? Rather than 'me'.

Spending a night in a hotel for a business trip a few years ago, didn't get a good night's sleep as the Yorkshire lass in the next room was loudly and repeatedly encouraging her partner to "Shoove it in reight oop to t'knot!"

Missedthis · 01/08/2025 22:37

Soberinthecity · 01/08/2025 22:29

Eh?

“The roast is ready, isn’t it Missedthis isn’t it?”

”It’s Christmas Day, isn’t it Missedthis, isn’t it?”

”It’s 8 o’clock, isn’t it…”

WAARGH just fuck the fuck offfffff.

If you would care to suggest a better way to negotiate my female dominated home when I need the loo in the middle of the night I'm all ears!

Boxers + T-shirt?

Soberinthecity · 01/08/2025 22:41

Oh sorry I just realised your username was “missed this” I wondered what that meant.

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.

Plenty of threads of that theme on reddit!

SexedUpDossier · 01/08/2025 22:42

@Daygloboo the padded pants have piqued my interest - what do you think they were for??!! Had he forgotten he was wearing them? Was his willy cold? So many questions

I'd forgotten this till I read this thread...
An ex, at the point I was about to orgasm would say "you're welcome"

Hee hee 😆

SexedUpDossier · 01/08/2025 22:36

Are you a man by any chance 🤣

Yes, but I am quoting what I have read in articles and newspaper. The consensus is that men not asking questions during sex is generally a bad idea.

HevenlyMeS · 01/08/2025 22:46

😅You've made me laugh
Bless you can just imagine
I take it you didn't end up dating this unusual underwear wearer 😆

A friend moved to Wales and mentioned there were loads of magic mushrooms. Said his new friend could pick "some" for £8. It was a shoebox full! I lived with my parents so asked my boyfriend to look after them and he put them in his kitchen cupboard. That evening he had friends round, I went to bed then him and a mate must've hammered the mushrooms and stayed up. Early next morning they both went out for milk but he saw a man washing his car and couldn't stop laughing - so much so he wet himself, but he'd put on my mac (which I'd treated myself to in a second-hand designer shop). Just handed it back all wet and smelly, didn't even offer to have it dry-cleaned.
Funny thing is, this was about 35 years ago and last year I moved just round the corner from his old flat, in fact I was in that road today and am still trying to place which building it was.
It was the last straw as he still had a photo of him and his ex on the wall!

LDNloveandlife · 01/08/2025 22:49

He would lecture me about EVERYTHING - the contents of Diet Coke, the importance of sleep, how you simply must not have a coffee first thing in the morning, how alarms are terrible for us… just endless! But the biggest ick for me was how he’d not lived in London long and instead of just asking me where things where/what tube line/anything, he’d be like yeah, cool and then always get lost. Then he’d turn up with some story about delays on the line and I can’t explain why it PMO so much but even writing it now years later I’m irritated hahahaha

Another man - let’s call him Mr Teetotal (no judgement from me). Ick on the second date when he asked if I’d move in, questioned what my credit score was, asked if I could wallpaper and do tiling, and if I was handy at plastering. Was also pleased I was post menopausal as he didn’t want any more kids (he had six with three women yet had said he had one on his dating profile). Apparently he wouldn’t have a vasectomy as he didn’t agree with that.

I wasn’t sure what to be more offended by - that he would lie about his kids, or that he was looking for a woman based on wealth and DIY skills as he had a renovation project and was just looking for someone to help.

Edited

To be fair I might start asking about credit scores and what handyman jobs they’re good at?! Make themselves useful 😕

I got talking to a guy online who said he was 6ft. Bumped into him at a gig, and he was a good 4 inches shorter than me (I am 5ft8).

I went on a date with one who had his profile set to 6”7. Being 5”8, I wore high heels and he must have been 5”5 max 😭 Literally towered over him and he went on his tiptoes to go in for a kiss 😫
