Shaved head with a full beard.

Whitened teeth.

Tying shoe laces too tight. This is hard to describe, but an ex always wore Converse, but would pull the laces so tight that the panels with the eyelets would touch. He was otherwise lovely, but I could not get past this.

Uncuffed jogging bottoms. The ankle swinger type.

Leather jackets.

Ok maybe just me but...

-Slip on canvas shoes. I can smell how your feet are going to smell from here.

-long nails.

-Not being hairy. I know this is the opposite for many women.

-Sleep talking in a high pitched voice. Don't emasculate yourself in your dreams please. 😅

-Those that want special treatment/ seek out named treatment in cafes/restaurants/shops. If its just a couple of places they know the people in for a chat thats fine...and I think this is because I'm shy but ... eeeech ick I really do not want to see you behave like mummy's little prince. 🤢🤢

-Grandiosity/ getting all pompous about their kids 'oh he wouldnt eat anything at all from Aldi...Oh they wouldn't be seen dead in those'. Probably also an ick about women. But just dont be proud about this. Tell me they're kind, tell me their interests and if you need to their achievements, but please dont tell me how proud you are that you have raised them to be snobbish.

Business suits and ties. Hate them.

Manbuns.
Beard buns.
Shaggy beards.
Nose hairs sticking out.
Loud farting.
The smell they leave behind after spending 45 min on the toilet... for the love of God, everyone's shit smells, but if you just flush it as it falls you'll save everyone else from having to put up with the stench of marinated feces for hours on end!

Men who wear band t shirts or football/sports shirts.

Flip flops or open shoes on planes. The only acceptable shoes on planes are those that fully cover the feet and feet must be covered in socks. This goes for women and men.

Sockless wonders. The knowledge of sweat puddling between toes makes me dry heave.

Speakeasy22 · Today 04:43

Whos idea was that!?

Men who get themselves a “Hobby” to justify spending exorbitant amounts of money and taking time away from their family, leaving their partner to do all the adulting every spare second they can swing it. They justify their own enjoyment and believe their time is much more valuable than their partner’s. Also the ones who make these hobbies their entire personality. They’re all over Strava and constantly checking their heart rate and browsing for the best Lycra shorts or expensive running shoes. Nothing worse than being subjected to their “stats.”

Men who think women should get a “little job” and believe that these things fit in perfectly around childcare and school pickups, drop offs and extra-curricular activities. They are quite convinced that such things exist: You know damn well that they won’t be picking up when the school rings to tell your kid is vomiting.

Agreed it's hideous
Extra points if the shoes resemble Rumplestiltskins.

Crocs, with or without socks.

Loud, I’ve got to be the centre of attention types.

Right wingers.

The word 'panties' especially uttered by a man. I once borrowed a car from a male colleague. As I reached under the driver's seat to adjust it I felt a lot of crusty stuff stuck to the upholstery. It was dried on snot and boggies where he'd wiped his hand.
