So boyfriend of a year ate his toastie from the plate by holding plate to face and pushing sandwich in, no hands. I cannot therefore unsee this.
Tbh our sex life is , let's say, poor at best. This has really finished me off. I'm having the massive ick.! Regale me with your equally dire stories!

My bf at university. I left him in my room for a few minutes and when I came back he had put on a pair of my knickers and was lying on my bed pouting at me.

I had to try very hard not to just burst out laughing.

Or chundering!

What on earth is wrong with men? women never do this.

Why are men leaving skid marks all over the place and piles of literal crap?

I truly dont get it- do they not wipe themselves properly or wash properly?

Women manage to do this so why cant they....It is fcking revolting

Untrue in my (probably unfortunate) experience!

Where are you all finding these men Jesus Christ. Is there some discount man shelf I'm not aware of? Or have I just been extremely fortunate that most of the men I've dated have been clean, fun and capable of looking after themselves?

Discount man shelf 🤣. I was thinking the same - either I commit lots more icks than I'm aware of or I'm just very unattractive (though I have been married for a long time).

Wouldn't tell me his surname.
Eventually found it out - it was Buttery.

I think the hiding it was a bigger Ick than the name.

Reading these i feel quite nauseated.
Im so grateful that DH is fastidiously clean, excellent in bed and house trained. I swear, if he ever has the audacity to make me a widow, im happily embracing celibacy. It took may years of wading through a swamp of wrong-uns to find him, its unlikely another one is out there by the sounds of it!

I once had an ex who used to be proud of leaving a toilet stinking after him. The more it smelled like a decomposing animal rolled in fox shit, the prouder he was.

I can't decide what's worse, this or the guy who yelled for his mother.

BlessicaBlimpson · 14/12/2025 20:25

After showering, he would dry his body with a hairdryer 🤮

Ribenaberry12 · 14/12/2025 20:47

Turned up to a date in tracksuit bottoms.
Was in credit card debt up to his eyeballs and it was all spent on useless crap.

gross

I was the one with the guy who shouted for his mum during sex.
I should also mention when I asked him why he told me to last longer in bed he’d picture the time he caught his mum
and nan sunbathing topless in the garden, like that made it better!

I was dating a bloke when I was about 17 (he was 20.) I had been a chubby younger teen (about 11 stone at 5 ft 4,) and had lost 2 stone in about 5 months ... I had been 9 stone for about 4 months when I met him. I and felt pretty good about myself. I was toned too as I had exercised a lot...

On about our 7th date (and almost 4 weeks together,) we were sitting in the cinema watching a film, and on the 'intermission' he grabbed me around the waist and squeezed my waist (my 25" waist!) and said 'you're quite a bit fatter than my last girlfriend.' Just so matter of fact, as if he was telling me my zip was undone at the back of my dress, or I had my cardigan on inside out.

I was like Shock but speechless... He went to go back to the seats in the auditorium, and I said I needed the loo but would be back soon. The more I thought about it (when standing there shellshocked) the angrier and more upset I got. I walked out and left. Went home.

Despite his protestations and insisting he meant nothing by it, I refused to see him again. I got the 'ick' all right. Any 'man' who can say that to a woman/girl is nothing but a nasty, negging cunt.

Brought his damp underpants to my house in a Sainsbury’s bag and dumped them on my kitchen table.
Tiny penis (not his fault obviously) but boasted about how good he was in bed. He wasn’t. And then he’d roll off and fart.
Wore his smelly hockey kit to a hotel breakfast with lace up shoes.
Repeatedly licked the spoon while cooking. It was a fairly wide wooden spatula and sort of crammed it widthways into his mouth 🤮
Could only finish by wanking

How long was the relationship with this 'catch'? 🤔

Totally agree with you! If ever DP dies or leaves me, he will be replaced by a couple of German Shepherd Dogs and no other men for as long as I live!
Ive dropped lucky with him, he’s very clean and tidy, has no weird habits and we mooch along nicely together.
But he’s the last - there’s far too many dirty deviants out there!

QuietlyPedalling · 14/12/2025 23:59

@ZovJust came on to say WELL DONE. I hope people were laughing at him looking round to see where you were.

MonickerMonica · 15/12/2025 01:30

One of my favourites on this thread is the oops a daisy man 😁

I've been fairly lucky over the years with dates and partners but I do recall being very embarrassed by a newish boyfriend who arrived wearing neon lime green socks which showed between his 'slip-on' shoes and slightly too short trousers. He seemed to think he looked trendy. Yuk. That was the end of him.

Another boyfriend of a few weeks was so polite and respectful and told me he never swore 'properly' in front of ladies so would use the word dang!! as an expletive. I got a slight ick and had to wave him off. 🫤

I thought we were talking about men? No one accusing you of anything 😊

I was responding to the part where the poster questioned why any woman would want a male partner once she’d been provided with a baby, as if being a mother is the only thing a woman could possibly want in life. That, along with the implication that no woman might also like football, or enjoy a drink, or have a high sex drive, is sexist shite.

Wore shoes that looked like they were from the orthopedic section at Clarks.

Ooh no - that’s odd - I’ve often mentioned on here on posts related to ‘Ick’ the very odd comment after first time I had sex with a not unpleasant guy when he whispered into my ear the immortal words of Frankie goes to Hollywood ‘ I’ll protect you from the hooded claw, keep the vampire from your door’ - I had an urge to say ‘ WTF’

🤣🤣🤣

Awww, thank you. Blush I hope people were laughing at him too! I don't know why on earth he thought it was OK to say something like this 'you're a lot fatter than my last girlfriend!' And I was 9 stone too. Not that it would have been OK anyway, even if I had been a bit bigger... He had chosen to date me (he asked ME out) so he must have thought I was OK. So why the nasty comment?

No way was I seeing him again, ever...
