You meet the one. They're perfect for you. Then youve got the ick so badly you eant to set fire to yourself. What petty thing did they do?? 👀

Eaten tuna 🤢

Monstrous food eaten by those with poor morals.

👀

Maybe she was hoping you would teach her?

Yes this chap did the ‘ahhh’ after each slurp 😂🤯

I couldn’t overlook it…all credit to you though 😂

Now this is a bit daft, but each to their own. The majority of 'gamers' are in their 30s or 40s, (people age between 29 and 39 make up the biggest group,) and around 50% are women. So I never understand this 'see me when you've grown up and are not a child any longer' attitude towards people who do gaming.

I get that maybe some women don't want a man who does gaming, and they are entitled to their opinion. I mean, I couldn't be with a man who is obsessed with golf, or cycling, or football, because most of the men who are (who I have known) are selfish, and self-centred, very rarely at home, they spend loads of family money, and they rarely engage in family life. But hey, JMO right...?

But saying people who do gaming are immature/childish is ridiculous. I know several people (personally) who have a gaming channel on YouTube, and they make around £75K to £100K a year, just from their gaming channel. (They have a subscriber count in the 6 figures.) Some are doing it as a full time job now, and are out-earning some of their friends and peers by a country mile.. Doesn't sound very 'childish' or 'immature' to me.

I would imagine people who can monetise their gaming hobby are as rare as hens teeth. I imagine the waryness on here around gaming is that it is often a massive time sink of a hobby that sucks the life out of relationships as said game becomes more important then chores, family time etc.

yawn. Who cares? She’s allowed her ick.

Exactly, stop getting offended

Nah bin him off. Even I change my own headlight ffs. Only point in having a bloke around is for DIY / car stuff. And tbh, I'm learning my own DIY so I will literally only get with a bloke again if he knows how to sort cars out and also: doesn't see his mum more than once a month. Maybe once a week for a few hours, max.

Trust me, it is. Speaking from experience. Quoting earnings as being evidence of maturity is sad. Imagine spending all day, every day playing video games. Where is the intellect? The problem-solving? The real-world impact? The growth that comes from introducing policy or changes into the workplace.

Or even just the human interaction. Learning tact, diplomacy (not shouting "fire, move, get it you d*ckhead, all day at a screen).

I can tell you now, this is not a proper job. It is not mature and it's something that should be used as a stepping stone into a proper career or savings for something important.

Talking about their mum all the time. Being unable to have a single conversation without mentioning their mum. It's gross. Especially in a bloke.

Turned up for a date with a Smurf blue leather jacket… he was so lovely but this massively gave me the ick! He did then die which was so bloody tragic (years later, not because I dumped him I must add!)

Haha this amused me!

I feel the same about gamers… if you’re over 20 and still game, you need to get a grip! Gaming in the evening once in a while with mates yes, but gaming every night obsessively… eurgh ick!

Is she still single?

Perhaps she wanted a tandem?

Nope. She’s now very happily married to a man who has no stains on his clothes and who clearly eats his fruit in a way that doesn’t give her the ick.

True - he should be necking Monster.

Drove a yellow car

Leaned forward and peered through the windscreen when driving. FGS get glasses if you need them, there's no shame in it.

They're into collectibles. Even worse: they collect funko pops.

Any garment with a logo on it is a passion-killer for me.

That was hilarious! ... And ew instant ick

Peed all over the toilet seat and floor. Licked his fingers while eating and had the worst table manners. Mansplainer. Was extremely hairy and very, very sweaty and would end up with a completely sweat-soaked shirt and dripping hands and arms. All: 🤮🤮

One of my exes did that, would wear just a t shirt and nothing else. He had a rock hard big belly so thankfully, the willy didn’t show. That was a huge ick. As time went by, more and more icks happened so he had to go.

The gamers I know don’t do anything other than game then wonder why they get dumped.

Oh my god! That brings up a horrible buried memory from my mid 20s.

I went home with a very attractive ex-colleague after a night out. First ick was when we got out of the taxi and instead of going into the house he turned towards the caravan on the driveway. Turns out he lived in a caravan on his parents driveway (age 37) but I was drunk and he was hot so I figured I could overlook it for the night. Stepped into the caravan and saw about 30 little Funko Pops staring back at me from shelves above the bed. Nope.

Some of these are hilarious, some are revolting 🤮
mine are fairly tame;
I met a guy in a nightclub. It was fairly dark and he had long sleeves on his top. Met for a first date and OMG he was the hairiest person I’ve ever seen. I like a smattering of hair but he was like a very hairy gorilla. Not for me.

I refused a second date because he drove a Morris Minor. This was 40 odd years ago and I still feel bad. He was so lovely and one of the best kissers I’ve known. I still kick myself for being so shallow.
The one that picked me up from my mum’s ( I was 18) I popped upstairs to get a jacket and came down to find him showing my mum a newspaper clipping he kept in his wallet. It was a model in a huge frothy wedding dress. He was telling my mum that he wanted his future wife to wear that dress. I legged it out of the back door and left my mum to get rid of him.
