i don't know how many more experiences will be shared but I'm hoping to continue the thread because thread number one has given me so so so many laughs.
I still have a lot of ick stories to share so without further ado..

Went on a date and the guy had what I can only describe as white string on his lips. I kept licking my lips in the hope he'd twig but to no avail I ended up saying DUDE you have a massive white string when you talk can you wipe it off.

didn't go down well and didn't see him again.

I had a ONS with a work colleague when I was 17 from a supermarket Saturday job. He kept referring to his.. Achem.. package as THE BIG DADDY.
it wasn't. That was a humbling experience.

please share yours!

Went one a date once, was just starting the starter dish and he suddenly told me he used prostitutes before. Instant ick.

Think one of the best icks I've ever read on here, was the poster, who said her bloke photographed himself holding a bag he was looking to buy. She said it finished her off 😆 🤣

CountryMumof4 · 03/08/2025 11:40

I was seeing a guy briefly when I was 20, who when he was after a BJ would just come and stand by me/over me, drop his pants and say 'sucky sucky?'. I'm really hoping he's got over that!

AuntMarch · 03/08/2025 11:40

My ex keeps putting cry/laughing emojis in texts that aren't remotely amusing, like not even trying to be funny. Between that and the constant nowe clearing noises I might actually have killed him if we'd stayed together.

e.g. "Can DC bring his headphones when we go on holiday 😂"

"I'll bring DC back around 4, they want pasta for lunch 🤣"

I'm half expecting one when he lets me know his poorly parent dies.

Oh god - I know a guy that does that! He also sends photos of cars that are parked fairly badly outside his house and thinks they're hilarious.

I can't tell you the number of times I've written and then deleted really arsey/sarcastic replies, it gives me irrational rage!

Had a lovely evening out together and got back to his late and stayed the night for the first time.
After DTD he proceeded to reach for his mobile (still insitu) and call his mother chatting about the weather/ general crap wishing her “goodnight mum my little darling” at this point I could not breathe with the weight of him - flaccid he then manoeuvred himself out of me and promptly snored his head off. Gives me the shudders just thinking about it.

ReceiveIt · 03/08/2025 11:59

Told me how he'd spent 15k on a mediumship course in America to learn how to communicate with the dead. Offered to contact my dead dad if I came back to his.

Same guy went in for a kiss at the end of the date. I was in the middle of talking and he suddenly jumped up (much shorter than me) and tried to land a peck on the lips. He missed and got my chin and it felt like one of those flying headbutt kisses you get from a toddler.

I'm sure I have more so I'll be back when I remember!

So many funny stories! Mine makes me feel ill even thinking about it - was in a relationship where we progressed to staying in a hotel for the first time. Had a fab meal and evening, but I was awoken in the morning with this extremely loud choking noise coming from he bathroom. I think it's called 'hawking' but it was the most disgusting noise to wake up to. I thought it was a one off, but he proceeded to do exactly the same on the (few more) occasions I spent the night with him. Got rid of him soon after!

He pulled a face that made him look like an Aardman Animations character trying to achieve an impossibly heavy deadlift, throughout the entire act.

This is such a detailed description and I can imagine just how his face looked 😂😂😂😂

I went out with a chap once, nice enough but he was keener on me than him. We took the dog for a walk, he was walking behind me tickling my legs with a long piece of grass. Hmm.
Went for a drink with him, we were sat in a corner type booth thing. He kept putting his arm along the back of the booth and edging nearer, I kept edging away and nearly fell off the end of the seat!
Final thing that put me off, he looked a lot like my brother! Once I'd seen that, that was it. (Don't get on with my brother).

WhineAndWine1 · 03/08/2025 12:45

He was far too nice. Like he opened doors for me, carried my stuff and was really gentle manly. It gave me the ick! I felt that I could walk all over him & I need someone to be able to tell me no 😂. Luckily my DH is very good at saying no to me almost too good.

See I feel this.
I love a guy who respects women, and is a true gentleman. But they have to be a little rougher round the edges for me! That would give me the ick too

they probably just can't win can they 🤣

hold the doors open for me pal but also chuck me around the bedroom vibes

Stayed at a guys house after he invited me over for a meal. That meal was a Miss Millie’s 🫠

Had a shower in the morning. Was offered a towel and took it, quickly hanging it on a rail so I could shower. When I got out I noticed poo stains on the towel like he’d been scratching his brown eye after not wiping properly. There were no other towels to be found in that bathroom other than a hand towel. I used that. But then it got me paranoid that he’d not noticed these stains beforehand (because surely you’d give someone a clean towel, right?!) so I’m there thinking is he gonna then see these stains and think I’m the one who’s left shite on the towel. Never contacted him again. FML.

Anyone who puts lol / laughing emojis in a text - especially when there is nothing remotely funny being said. Text speak in general actually. 'u' instead of 'you' gives me instant ick.

Once, years and years ago, I eventually slept with a guy I'd been out with a few times and as he went to 'enter' me, he said 'Open Sesame' and that was it for me. Instant ick. He also had a box of tissues by his bed in one of those decorative 'tissue cases' with bejewelled diamante all over it. It was like being in Aladdin's cave.

Imagine if he was actually laughing uproariously every time he used the emoji?

This reminded me of something else about the ex with the Wallace and Gromit sex face: he put “lol” at the end of every message.

”Car is in the garage lol”
”Yeah work has been really busy lol”
”Gonna go to sleep now see you tomorrow lol”

He also had an aversion to punctuation, which somehow made every message feel like it was delivered in a breathless monotone. Made me want to pull out a red pen (and my own teeth).

I have another one to add.

I was seeing a guy for a bit and I genuinely liked him. Had his shit together. Handsome. Good job. Funny.

we went to his bedroom and I was about to DTD with him for the first time. (Had done everything else just not PIV)

he has a stack of hair bobbles on his bedside table. Dude had a short back and sides. The cynic in me asked if they were for another woman..

he vehemently declined and said that he likes to endure tightness around his balls whilst having sex and proceeded to tie his bollocks up as if they were a ponytail which made them swing away like a grandfather clock.

that was another time I dried up and left.
was gutted. Liked him n all.

A cock-oo clock. 😳

Silversal · 03/08/2025 14:17

Took his invisalign out in front of me before eating a pizza (no napkin) just saliva everywhere, called his previous partners mother a massive cunt and finally kept talking about money.

Mydahliasareshit · 03/08/2025 14:19

The jolly but rotund chap who I'd known for ages as a mate. We decided to give us a go. First time he stayed over, I came out of the shower to find he'd used up a whole new sourdough loaf on six doorstep rounds of toast and giant cheese sandwiches to take to work. Didn't make me any, so no breakfast for me, and the worktop was completely covered in a carpet of crumbage and gobs of marmalade. He sat in his pants, gut spilling over and stuffing himself. No effort to clean up. I saw the rest of my life unrolling down that potential timeline in a millisecond.
Back in the friend box you go!
