@CloveRinse At least time you agree that the things being mentioned are stupid. That is some progress.

How is that progress? I've always said that many of these threads are stupid and utterly bizarre.

A bunch of stuff gets listed that any sane person would find disgusting. It goes without saying that all that stuff makes sense.

But it's when you hear things like "I get the ick when men wear seatbelts," that's just bonkers.

But if that is what people feel that’s what they feel; reasonable or not.

Men:

Jumping up and down and doing the 🤘🏼 sign at a gig/concert.

Wearing swimming goggles.

Wearing a backpack on both shoulders.

Stalling their cars. Even worse when they stall and someone behind them beeps to tell them to hurry up.

Wearing any kind of woolly jumper or scarf. Even worse if there’s a pattern on it.

Men in Grandad collar tshirts or shirts- the buttons make me 🤢.

See also men in v-neck tshirts.

Men who straighten their hair (usually short, but they straighten the top up the way if it's wavy/ curly).

Men in jeans, white shirt, suit jacket & shiny, black shoes (normally sugar daddies).

Beer bellies.

Balding but desperately holding onto hair at the side/ whisps.

Shirts too tight showing back fat 🤢

Especially if they also have a gold chain bracelet.

Even more so when they won't remove said gold chain even when you say you hate it, because "their Mum bought it for them" 🤢

squarecrow · Today 00:43

One specific guy: he couldn’t catch a frisbee. No!

More generally: guys who “preen” their appearance too much (eyebrow waxing and fake tan at the top of the list)
and guys who blame their behaviour on any outside circumstance or influence instead of taking responsibility for it

watching him ride away down an escalator, and watching him cross at the green man

What kind of poloshirts are people seeing! There are some lovely, smart ones.

Not a petty ick, but talking in text speak.
