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 no, I had a bloke do the circular motion thing once too. He was lovely, I was gutted. I remember grasping his hips, trying to keep him still but he seemed instead to take it as encouragement and went full London Eye. I gave it one more go after that but even though he was really hot and very sweet, just no. Sad times.

I once had to dump a bloke I was particularly keen on because he used a phrase that reminded me of my father (a dickhead). I can't even remember what the phrase was now but it made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

The worst was the time I married a bloke I'd only known for a few weeks (yes, I know, you don't need to tell me. I was very young), only to discover a few weeks later that he (regularly) used the phrase 'indeedy do'. FML.

Full London Eye 😂

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.

lol! This is my favourite! 😂

Id get the massive ick from this too!

This was me literally 6 months ago. Everything gave me the ick.

My boyfriend - who im utterly in love with - does soooo many things that I know would usually give me the ick, that now I am completely into and think are extremely adorable or super hot. My friends think Ive lost my mind.
Love is blind as they say. 😂

That’s when you know. My husband sings “And many more…” after everyone has stopped singing “Happy Birthday” but he absolutely perfect in every other way so I let it slide.

This was many years ago - crimplene trousers. I need add no more.

Spiderx · 03/08/2025 07:39

Or any woman with way too much make up or fake tan or lip filler that makes them look like a gold fish ! Just not a good look !

PulchritudinousLycanthrope · 03/08/2025 07:39

Got into the bedroom and he dropped his trousers and pants all in one and stepped out of them but his pants! OMG, this is a 28yo man that has never learned to wipe and clean his own ass! His gusset was like a bus depot skid pan!

I claimed a non existent headache and he stepped back into them to tend to me which was sweet but I just wanted to go home so I left holding my forehead until I was round the next bend.

He's from a very wealthy family so you would think one of the nannies would have taught him the basics.

A musician I went on a date with turned up neatly dressed but somehow none of it coordinated, topped off with a bow tie which didn't help matters. He then proceeded to play random percussion on his knees with accompanying oom-pah and badoom-tsch noises through out the date. Both a bit icky but I somehow agreed to a second date.

We went to a nice restaurant for date 2. He got treacle tart for pudding with the sauce served in a little jug. He splashed a drop on his watch. The sight of his really pink tongue licking up the drip was enough. Instant ick. No date 3.

Another guy I'd been seeing for a while got up on one of the first cool September mornings of the year and grabbed a hoodie to wear to work. An over sized baby blue one with Goofy on the front- official Disney merch. He was only ever going to be a fling anyway but that thing somehow quelled any attraction within me!

Absolutely loving these! Also good to know that it's not just me! I could write a book about dating after divorce. First date with someone. Met up at fancy country pub of his choice. He pointed out that it was private function and we should sit away from the guests and not engage with anyone. I exclaimed that i didn't realise that his hair was naturally curly? He replied that he "just has a light perm." Absolutely NO idea why, but I went back to his place (in my own car) Sat on sofa, glass of orange juice. He said that he was going to get a jumper. He was gone AGES. He entered living room without the aforementioned jumper. Wearing sheer ladies knickers and a white French maid's pinny. 😂🤣🤣🤣 I laughed and howled with tears streaming. He was offended. Later on...(I know) i have NO excuses. DTD and he kept asking me if I liked his nightie he was wearing? 😂🤣🤣
M and S size 16 hanging on door in morning.
When he went to the loo, I looked in his drawers. No boxers. Just white ladies knickers. OMG. 😬
Not me, but long time friend. One night DTD with husband, at erm 'his moment', he shouted out, "Don't tell them your name Pike."

Lol, you had me at 'light perm' 😂

Went on a date with a guy who wanted me to be impressed with his job (ick), but I had to guess what it was.
His hint was that he wears a wig.
I replied 'drag queen?'
'it start with a B'
'Burlesque drag queen?'

To his credit he did chuckle. No further dates.

After he revealed it you should have said 'Wow I'm impressed. Can you make me a flat white'

Spindrifts · 03/08/2025 08:26

South Manchester in the 70s. Went back to a bloke's house who I new from uni. He suddenly decided this was the 'night'. I had already decided that this was 'not the night'. He went to make coffee in the kitchen and I slipped out the front door very quietly. Ran off down the side street onto the main road, flagged a taxi and was gone. Felt great very pleased with myself as we drove off into the night back to my digs. Heaven knows what he must have thought when he returned to the front room with two cups of coffee and no 'night'!

My 19 year old son is into loony tunes and has many of their tee shirts (and garfeild ones). Hes never had a girlfriend

Financialthymes · 03/08/2025 08:53

I had a bf years ago who would slap me on the back before leaning in to kiss me, like he was slapping a mate on the back. Sometimes he would then leave his hand on my shoulder like a lead weight while kissing me. Ick! Ick ick ick!

Ah, a bloke has entered the chat..

this thread is about when blokes give women the ick. Not about judging what women look like. I guess you missed the memo.

Did you miss the thread title, where it was about guys giving women the ick?
are you the type of man that just cannot simply let women have anything without interjecting and making it about you?
I highly doubt you've had a 'cheesy down there' mate, when the probable only vulva you've seen is the one you came out of.

ICK

Well everyone, this thread has nearly wrapped up now. I have never laughed out loud on an internet forum so much. Thank you to each and every one of you who've shared your experiences as this thread is so much fun! Debating whether to make a part two on this as I just don't want it to be over😂😂

Yes please, keep it going. Made me laugh so much on what would otherwise be a lonely Saturday night in

Uricon2 · 03/08/2025 09:46

Reading some of these examples (from the hilarious to the horrifying, many both) makes me think early 80s dating was easier. You'd already had "eyes on" even if briefly in a darkened nightclub so no horrible shocks.

First dates involved them showing up in a nice suit or the classic 80s boy jacket and jeans combo reeking of Kouros (oh the memories!) for drinks/dinner/a club. Lots of effort on both sides and perhaps it was because there was just not the constant ready availabilty of "next!" that OLD involves. Not saying every date was perfect (at all) but it seemed so much more fun and exciting than it generally appears to be now.

Thanks everyone for a really funny thread.
