The moment your crush withered?

What was the moment the lightbulb came on for you and a mad crush just died?

I’ve posted about this before but the moment that killed a totally consuming crush was he developed a fixation on keto, ‘raw food’ and intermittent fasting, and I saw him eating ‘dinner‘ that was just four plain very soft-boiled eggs and then lick the yolk off the plate and I nearly threw up. He also called it the ‘keto protocol’ with a serious face like he thought he was in the army, in some ways that was even worse.

That's concerning, at home (not restaurants) I always enjoy licking up the remainder of any sauce etc on my plate.

Delicious!

The alternative is to dab it up with bread, but you know.....bread past the lips, straight to the hips!

Yeah but is your sauce cold semi raw egg yolk?

I have so many. I must be quite fickle. One man I was dating was sitting on the sofa with me, we were watching a movie together. He looked up at me and there was a huge bogey, the biggest I’ve ever seen, hanging out of his right nostril. It took up his entire nostril and dangled downwards. I think he was trying to look lovingly in my eyes but all I could see was the huge bogey.

Another man I was dating - I wasn’t initially attracted to him physically but we got on really well so I thought I’d give it a go and not just rely on looks. He used to drink a lot and had a large beer belly. It gave me the ick because when we would hug we couldn’t actually hug properly, because his belly kept us a certain distance apart. He had normal arms and legs too, which made it worse.

I feel a terrible person admitting this but years ago,I met a bloke who happened to be a biker (I luffs me a biker)

He had lovely,long,flowing hair

We'd been dating for about 3 months when he went away with his biker mates for the weekend

While he was there,he had his head shaved and raised over 1k for charity (which i do admire)

I just couldn't go near him-he looked awful

We broke up and he turned into a nasty bastard so dodged a bullet but ill never forget the ick that ran through me when I saw him standing there,on my doorstep,bald and grinning at me

His head looked like a snooker ball shudders

I’m surprised about how many footwear related mood killers there are 😂

It's what I hate about swords and sandals epics. I do love me some classic Greek and Roman action films but ugh, the sandals. Can't it be swords and ski boots?

I think men’s footwear is hard, especially summer footwear. There’s not much decent choice for them…socks and sandals are still inexcusable though
