Another one: Used to cry for no reason. And turn moody and ruin dates also for no reason. Twat.

He accidently stepped on a huge, orange slug whilst wearing sandals (no socks).

Should I show my DD20 this thread to prepare her for relationships?😄

Men should not wear sandals. Ick!

How much longer? 👀👀

@Sardaukar Mine are like that! And one foot is worse than the other. I'd say the left one is 5mm longer and the right one 8mm longer. It's quite noticeable. I'm self-conscious about it. But I looked it up and it's called Morton's toe, and many people have it. It's considered a normal variant of foot shape. But I hate it because I think it makes me look as if I have monkey toes, and also, I always stub that toe. Never stubbed a big toe in my life! 🤣

Are you a young person in your mid-twenties who lives alone with no one else to make a mess but you? It was more of an ick in a single young man, tbh. I wouldn't have had any thoughts about it if a female friend had had one. I think it just signalled that he'd be useless around the house as a husband and father, so it was a turn-off.

So, this isn't particular to one man, but seems to affect many: The tendency to start acting like my kid brother. Including pinging my bra strap. Making really silly jokes. Etc.

Another thing many men seem to do is - and this falls somewhat into the annoying-kid category above: I'll say something, and I'm making a point. But he riffs off what I've said, often with what he thinks is clever wordplay or sexual innuendo, and the point of what I've said is completely left behind in his quest to show how sparkling he is. This has happened to me a LOT. They'll say something they think is clever, after I've said something, but their response is nothing to do with what I've said. This means they don't respond to what I've said. It's a form of not listening to you, and I can't bear it. And they're always cheap shots.

And the same men interrupt me all the time. I know one who makes me forget what I was going to say all the time because he interrupts me, and I actually told him to shut his mouth, I got so fed up with it.

Conversation with men is often just painful.

he had the same first name as one of my brothers

just no,nope,not happening

My friend went out with someone who had the same first name AND last name as her brother!!! (And same last name as her, of course.) And yes, it did affect things for her!

He was so noisy in sex after a couple of years and the embarrassment in hotel rooms I got the ick totally.

Omg his initials weren't C.N. were they??

Whodunnit508 · 16/06/2026 06:42

Not dumped immediately but all added up to a massive ick:

  1. did not cut his toenails often and would frequently scratch me in bed
  2. in his mid-forties still had his mummy (that’s what he calls her) bring him medication every time he was under the weather
  3. put on a posh voice when around his mummy and daddy
  4. his social life were mainly mummy and daddy

Wait noisy...

😄😄😄 how? Squealing, talking, grunting?

Mine was like... "OOOOOOOH-AHHHHHH, OOOOOOOOH-AHHHHHH, OOOH OOOH OOOH OOOOOH-AHHHHH, URGHHHHHHHH" and on and on. LOUDLY.

Millindugu · 16/06/2026 06:45

Played with my cat (not a euphemism) and got a little scratch on his finger and asked if I had a plaster

🤢

Sounded like a weak moped when he came

I’m laughing so hard at this

DumpyVictoria · 16/06/2026 06:55

Skyflier · 14/06/2026 22:53

About 5 minutes after the act. It gave me the ick. Shame as he was really hot but I mean WTF. He sounded really grateful too 😂😂

I had one who would thank me after sex, too! 🤢 Made me feel like saying, "You're welcome. Just leave the money on the nightstand."

That was many years ago, and no man before or since has ever thanked me for sex. Thank GOD!

Quite honestly I wonder how anyone manages to breed.

DumpyVictoria · 16/06/2026 06:59

A first kiss that was WAY too gentle. OK, we don't want to smash teeth, but it was so gentle that it felt like a cool, whisper-light jellyfish had attached itself to my mouth.

It did get a lot better, but yeah.

Oh - he had erectile dysfunction, but he said it was OK because he used this great Viagra-type thing that was stronger than Viagra, which hadn't worked for him. You actually had to inject it into your penis. It was called Trimix. So I'm anticipating a night of wild rogering - it had been a WHILE - but the Trimix didn't really work, either. Then the second night it did, and he had a massive dick, and I thought I was going to split. Then the third night, the Trimix went wrong again.

I now have a bf who has none of those problems and I'm much happier!

Listened to Gloria Estefan, tucked his jammies very neatly under his pillow, and other things I've forgotten by now (this was uni.) He actually ended it with me first: I was like, OK cool. My doornob came off in his hand after he'd made his big announcement. He was known thereafter as Doornob Rob.

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

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.

As opposed to hobbit feet?

i was once in bed with a bloke when he told (not asked) me that he was going to use a vibe on me

he leant over,fished about under the bed and whipped out the biggest vibe ive ever seen

this thing must have come from 'massive vibe shop'

the length of my arm,as thick as my head and flesh coloured-and it reeked of old,stale sex and poo

it turned out that hed used it with his ex but it was ok as 'i'll give it a wipe if you want me to'

a wipe?!

this thing needed burning-i jumped out of bed and went home

he chased me for weeks as i ghosted him and had to get the police in to 'have a word'

ick isnt quite the word for what i felt but it came close

never in my life have i felt my blood go cold so fast

Absolutely vile
