FabSwingers.com forum: The "Icks" Factor

Was dating a girl and one night whilst out, her and her friends were discussing things that gave them 'the ick' when with someone.

Some examples were:

"the thought of him lowering himself into a bath"

"Wearing long socks with shorts"

"He ordered a Tia Maria with milk"

What has given you the 'ick' so much so that you never could meet that person again romantically?

I'm still not entirely sure what the ick as some people seem to use it to just describe things they find annoying.

A true ick deal breaker for me would be taking a woman home and her taking a dump with the toilet door open while attempting to continue a conversation.

An ick is something fairly irrational that turns you off someone.

Like a guy using a straw

A guy carrying a small fluffy dog

Etc

None of the above actually give me the ick I’d like to clarify

It's not really a ick but when I see a man in socks wearing sandals it just makes me say WHY?

Eating loudly triggers me a lot. Would that be an ick? It’s given me full on rage. I’ve left restaurants over it. I would instantly end things if a date ate loudly.

I don't have many however these are most definitely going to bounce on my every nerve.

Mansplaining

Gatekeepers of music and especially the men who spout utter nonsense for example "Well I heard of them before anyone else did."

Bad tattoos will make me squirm with embarrassment. There's some really brutal ones out there that men and women have parted their good earned money for

Overpriced coctails for an underwhelming buzz

Gin served in ridiculous glasses

Women who change their whole personality when a male enters their company.

Irish country music (I've probably offended half of you)

Baby talk. Just don't.

The smell of fake tan when I'm having sex with a woman.

Come to think of it I most definitely have loads more

I'm pretty sure I've never uttered the word ick out loud. I actually discovered it here

It's quite a silly word. And as i, and Jaffa both said, people don't use it the way it's intended most of the time.

I think this was meant to be a humorous thread...I've never uttered the word 'ick' in my life but when people mention stuff on this thread the stuff actually does annoy me....all in a very light hearted way lol

This thread is VERY different to the many threads over the years on major turn offs...I have many many of those

Its a dangerous road to go down

A number of years ago I was with a group of women, who were actively looking to "meet a man"! Some of the shite they came out with left me leaving thinking they're all lesbians, there couldn't possibly be any other reason for their list of "icks" about the men they met.

One of them met a "really nice fella", but on one particular date she didn't like his shoes, so that was that!

Ten years on, out of the 5, one got married shortly after, one got married in her forties to man much older (he's loaded

) and the other 3 are still single!

The ick indeed!
