Eaten tuna 🤢

Monstrous food eaten by those with poor morals.

Mine has a long finger nail on his left pinky finger. Makes my fanny clamp shut every time I notice it. 🤢

Does he make covered buttons? My dad does and he uses exactly that nail to squash the fabric flat in the die.

I once dumped a boyfriend for having a funny back of head. He just had a really weird haircut at the back of his head, very straight across, and it looked very naff to me. TBH I didn’t really fancy him but he really liked me and I thought he might be a grower. He’s a fantastic guy (I still know him! We’re both married to diff people with kids now) and I wished he didn’t give me the ick, but that back of head really made up my mind.

Wow, that really is a niche hobby! 😂

Or they take cocaine 😅

My pinky fingers tend to grow the longest as they don't get used much.

She bought a pug.

On every level. No.

Haha! I can understand that.

Turned up for date wearing double denim, opened all the way down to reveal a gleaming white vest, gold medalion, and brown wooden healed cowboy boots that sounded like a horse as we walked across the tube station concourse to catch our train. Clip clop, clip clop

1.Ate too slowly.
2.Licked my face in the manner of a dog.

ThistleTits · 15/06/2026 22:12

Long nasal hair. He wasn't the one, just a date after mtg in a pub.

That is true. Some cars are built so you cannot DIY. You have to go to a garage that deals with that brand of car. You literally cannot get to the bulb.

Indeed. The whole damn unit of the halogen headlight needed replacing. £2000. I asked why you couldnt just take the lid off, like.in my old 2CV.

That sounds like a fun outfit

They didn’t put their knife and fork together when they had finished eating then got up and left their chair untucked.

Userxyd · 15/06/2026 23:09

Wore a full length leather coat 😳🤣🤣🤣

Wasn’t a date or the one but a seemingly nice guy turned nasty (I’m married for a long time). He appeared as a friendly, helpful IT guy in the workplace who helped me with my computer. He ended up shouting at me within the hour when I noted an error message had come up. He seemed like a reasonable chap at first and said to reach out if there is any issues when trying to log in as he had tried a few fixes. I hadn’t done anything out of the norm letting him know there was an error.

Most embarrassing is that it all took place in an open office too.

I dread to think what his wife would experience (he had a wedding ring on). If he flipped out over a computer error message who knows what else gets on his nerves!

My DH thought toenails were supposed to have yellow stuff underneath them 🤢 when we first got together. I sent him for extreme anti-fungal treatment.

I will confess that despite the passing of nearly thirty years, I still have no desire to do anything romantic or sexy involving his feet 😂

@mumofoneAloneandwell The "ick" isn't real. It's just an excuse for committment issues.

If very minor and insignificant details annoy a person, then that person should reconsider whether they are suitable for relationships.

Some of these are not minor!
The point though, is that reasonably minor things can put you off someone immediately; that doesn't mean you can't sustain a relationship with somebody else.

Aww he was probably trying to be sweet

What were the chocolates? Milk tray?

I can picture them being too small for the bag, the whole handover being awkward, you having to lug a gift bag around the entire time 😭😭 yanbu

Milk tray man😅They were Hotel Chocolat with the bag of that logo. Yep had to take the bag with me to the bar we went for a drink. I knew there wouldn't be a second date so all felt a bit awkward with the goodbye with me holding this bag!

CyanMaker · 16/06/2026 00:57

We went to a club where there was a stage for dancing with a mirror behind it. He always made sure he was facing the mirror so he could watch himself dance.

Wore a t-shirt in bed with no shorts. He looked like winnie the pooh but with his floppy weiner hanging out the bottom 😩

At a hotel. Past midnight. Trying to be quiet. This had the both of us crying for a good five minutes as we tried not to make any noise. 😂😂😂

I very nearly walked away from an otherwise perfect man after the first night we spent together, because the tops of his feet were really smooth. I gave myself a good talking to and got over it.

I think men's feet are often in better condition than women's somehow, but I do get how it could have had that effect on you..

dollyblue01 · 16/06/2026 05:42

Wore a pale pink T-shirt 🤨

Horrible ex-husband would say in a breathy romance-novel voice, "Come to bed with your husband." 🤢 Made me feel as if I should be lying back and thinking of England.

Smelly breath.

Eggy sleep farts.

Leaving his shavings in the sink.

Clipping his toenails in the kitchen.

The silent treatment.

Lack of oral sex.

All the same husband.

DumpyVictoria · 16/06/2026 05:51

He was a young, strong, fit man in his twenties, but he had a cleaner, thanks to his rich parents, and left all his washing-up for her to do. Not attractive - made him seem useless.

Forgot: Same guy, met for a drink in the London suburbs and it was quite a walk back to the Tube along dark, quiet streets. And did he walk me there? Like hell he did.

Also same guy: I told him that we'd got a bit hot and heavy quickly on an early date and I wanted to put the brakes on. Never heard from him again.

Posh twat. He was v. good-looking too. I suppose he wasn't used to women not flinging themselves at him.

DumpyVictoria · 16/06/2026 05:53

Wore cowboy boots on an early date. In Wimbledon.
