No, polo shirts like that remind me of Delboy.
I don't mind rugby shirts though.

Men who use umbrellas. Just be manly and get wet.
Men who drive one minute to get somewhere. Unmanly. Walk it.

Yes, unmanly men give me the ick, any that spend too much time grooming, urgh!

I don't find male dancers or performers unmanly though, which I know some people do, there is something even more manly about many of them to me.

hotmumshit · Today 22:00

Unmanly men here too

But here's an ick thats just that - men who drive hatchbacks!

They're for first time drivers and mums!!

Manly men drives suvs or saloons

I’m the same about wooden spoons or lolly sticks in my mouth… I have to rub my face to make the feeling go away and I feel weird for a while after, been like it since I was a child.

I rub my feet together either bare-foot or with socks on ( Sorry,whyamiherenow)
I read somewhere that it is a form of ‘self-soothing’ and is a sign of ND. Don’t know if this is actually true?

Cant bear the too-tight trackie bottoms, the shit-flicker pointy shoes worn with trousers that end at the ankle and the over manipulated hair.
Don’t mind vaping as long as it’s not blown all over me, but smoking makes me heave nowadays, as it’s far less common than it was. I feel like I can’t breathe when I smell it.

Vaping is a bit of an ick for me, very unsexy looking on a man, smoking is sexy, smell of stale smoke is grim, but I kind of find it quite manly. Being with a smoker in a long term relationship I am not keen on. Makes no sense I know.

Hmm. Even if they are too tight because of developed muscles ?

Yes! They just need a sleeve size up!

It's been going on for years, though.

Social media. It's all about attention.

When bald men wear sunglasses that are too tight and there's that roll of naked head fat bulging just above the arms. Like little sweaty cocktail sausages (you just know are going to get sunburnt) and they move and glisten when they talk.

men wearing unironed clothes ESPECIALLY tops

Men who carry handkerchiefs. And even worse, blow their noses in public into them. <shudder>

No tissues allowed now either.

Men and women with allergies are not welcome in public places.

People who come in to a thread about icks to cleverly say their ick is ‘people who use the word ick’ thinking they are very subversive and the first person to say it, rather than it being every 5th post.

Where have you been? Loads of people have that ick, especially when it comes to women with hairy legs / armpits.

That one is a bit weird. Why would someone be disgusted by hairy legs or armpits?

teraculum29 · Today 22:23

-blowing nose to handkerchief,
-changing T-shirt before bed, sleeping in it and then wear it the next day
-no socks in trainers, loafers, suit shoes etc
-1 long nail on pinkie finger
-those velvety hangers

I don’t object to the polo shirt, but if they’ve got the collar up, it gets on my last nerve.

I have asked strangers on the train, and pubs to put their collars down, and they’ve always indulged me, bless ‘em!

Why do you have to be perfect to have icks? Men have icks too.

Exactly this! I don’t know why people can’t have a laugh now a days without being made out to be something.

an ick, can be anything that makes someone shudder or think ‘no’ - it doesn’t even need to be aimed at anyone…. Like someone mentioned the word ‘polyp’

I just started this thread as it’s part of me and my husbands humour, he often goes ‘Ick’ when I do something, he says I give him the ick when I walk around with my toe separators in waiting for my nail varnish to dry, and I get the ick at the thought of him in the sitting position on a see through plane and that’s ok 😂😂😂😂
