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!

My ex preferred cotton handkerchiefs to tissue- if we were out in public and blew his nose he would ask me to check his nose for any stray bits of snot.

Nope I definitely couldn't do that without cowkin 🤢

Oh I have another!

this one's a catfish. Said he was 30 on his hinge profile. Has lovely thick jet black hair.

when I arrived I was greeted by what I can only describe as a 45 year old roll on deodorant.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

One guy told me that he didn't like the nickname I've been known by my whole life and that my full name was much nicer. More of a red flag than an ick really, it really didn't sit well with me.

Another guy I met on a night out with mutual friends and met up with him a week or so later, he turned up wearing really high waisted trousers, high enough they were over his belly button. I got the ick.

Luckily met DH when I was still quite young and haven't been through as much horror as some people on here!

I was 33, he was 28. I walked into his flat and every single wall was covered in drawings he'd done and coloured in with felt tip pen, of characters he'd copied from comic books. Manga-style women with massive anti-gravity tits, body harnesses and guns really over-indexed.

HORRIFIC.

I really fancied a guy who lived in my Halls at Uni until I saw him wearing a Kimono. Never thought about him in 'that' way again.

Kim-Oh-No

I dated someone in his 50s who ALSO called himself a tired teddy, and lied to me about his age. He is older than he said he was.

I think we all dated the same guy. Midlands...?

No, south east.

And I saw his passport so I know he wasn't lying about his age, he's only just fifty now.

Horrifically it looks like there is more than one tired teddy out there.

I'm still, many years later, shuddering at the stupid voice he used to say it in.

These are brilliant, but I remember the last thread like this and someone said they went out with a guy who said 'I want a cup of chah-chah' in a squeaky voice when asking for a cup of tea and I think i just about peed myself laughing.

😂 I had a ex fling like this, I struggle to remember his name so I call him the ‘oh yeah’ man, with every thrust he’d say ohyeahohyeah, so cringy and very ick.

I've now got Duffman from the Simpsons stuck in my head 🤣

Human League done that record.
Still he didn't need to explain the song.

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

Oh my god. Reject it. Reject it.

one guy, few dates in, offered to cook me dinner at mine. Fine. Nice idea. But when he arrived, he stripped completely naked and then popped an apron on to cook. Following day saw a post on his Facebook about "whipping out the naked chef tactic." Gross.

@SharpLily "full London Eye". Absolutely pissing myself. Thank You for the laugh.

I'm crying with laughter at this. Wandy Wichard
just made me snort. Why why why why

ToniNorks · 02/08/2025 20:05

I was seeing a guy for a few weeks when I was younger and it was all going really well, he was incredibly good looking, funny etc and I had such high hopes. Then we met up one day and he said he was unwell with a chest infection and was coughing up a lot of phlegm so was I alright with not being able to kiss him. Now I’ve got a bit of a thing about ‘phlegm’, even the word makes me feel nauseous but it’s not his fault he was ill and I just tried to put it out of my mind. Then he had a huge coughing fit and clearly was bringing stuff stuff up and in fairness he wouldn’t have been able to win whatever he did, if he spat it out I’d have felt ill or worse if he swallowed it I’d have felt ill but what he actually did was even worse than that.. he actually fucking CHEWED it and THEN swallowed it 🤮🤮🤮 I said I wasn’t feeling well myself and left immediately, there’s no way I could ever get past something that disgusting.

Iamasentientoctopus · 02/08/2025 20:08

Haha yes Human League! The song really does explain itself though so the ick still stands

BabyCatFace · 02/08/2025 17:32

Do you not see how the way he asked was a total turn off? Is that not completely obvious to you?

It was direct communication. Something to be encouraged.

BySassyGreenPanda · 02/08/2025 20:09

When we met he would look me up and down but never complement my outfit. At least say, 'you look nice'. Even if you don't really mean it.

On the other hand, he rotated the same two tops every Fri/Sat night. His shoes were those pork pie ones. His big toe had stretched and moulded the leather at the front. Shudder.

Sadly, the shoes enclosed a dark secret. Ugly, bony feet with toenails that would rival an owl. After that, I often felt a twang of nostalgia looking at the shoes. They were a symbol of simpler times. A time before I saw and could now not unsee those horrible feet.

After a while he was banished to the couch. I avoided him for a month or so and ended it.

Not me but a friend dumped someone because he moved his lips as he read.

Tears in my eyes at this one!!!!!

Im same on that Count.. your post made me gag🤢
You have my sympathies experiencing that.

Not according to this thread - vast majority population: women. Might be worth paying attention. In fact I think there are many men out there who should see this as a learning experience but I suspect it will make unconfortable viewing for a few Tired Teddies, Wandy Wichards and windmilling thrusters.

Disturbia81 · 02/08/2025 20:23

I get the ick whenever men are sleazy, so it’s a lot. I love being single.

I don't know what the guy meant by probing but it sounds like something never to be encouraged.
