#IckyDatingMoments #TurnOffs #DatingDosAndDonts
When it comes to dating, there are certain things that can really turn us off. You know, the kind of stuff that makes you cringe, shudder, and say “ick”! What’s the biggest ick a man can give you? Let’s dive into some of the biggest turn-offs in the dating world, and how to avoid them.
##The Biggest Ick: Lack of Hygiene 🚿
There’s nothing worse than being on a date with someone who doesn’t prioritize their personal hygiene. Whether it’s bad breath, body odor, or unkempt appearance, lack of hygiene is a major turn-off for most people. To avoid giving off the biggest ick, here are some tips to ensure you’re looking and smelling your best:
– Shower daily and use a good quality body wash and shampoo.
– Brush your teeth at least twice a day and use mouthwash to freshen your breath.
– Wear clean, well-fitting clothes and remember to use deodorant.
– Pay attention to grooming and cleanliness, including trimming facial hair and keeping nails neat.
##The ick factor: Bad Manners and Rudeness 😠
Another massive turn-off in the dating world is bad manners and rudeness. Whether it’s talking over someone, being impolite to servers, or just generally lacking basic etiquette, bad manners can quickly kill any potential romance. To avoid giving off this ick factor, remember these important tips:
– Practice good manners, including saying please and thank you, holding doors open, and being courteous to everyone you encounter.
– Always listen to your date and avoid interrupting or talking over them.
– Be mindful of your body language and facial expressions – they can speak louder than words.
– Show respect and consideration towards others at all times.
##The ick factor: Lack of Ambition and Drive 💼
One of the biggest turn-offs for many people is a lack of ambition and drive. Whether it’s someone who has no career goals or is content with just coasting through life, lack of ambition can be a major ick factor. If you want to avoid giving this impression, here are some tips to help you appear more driven and ambitious:
– Pursue your passions and hobbies with gusto – show that you have interests and goals.
– Be proactive and take initiative in your personal and professional life.
– Talk about your ambitions and aspirations openly and with enthusiasm.
– Surround yourself with like-minded and ambitious individuals who inspire and motivate you.
##The ick factor: Arrogance and Self-Centeredness 🙄
Arrogance and self-centeredness are two qualities that can quickly turn someone off. Whether it’s constantly talking about oneself, not showing interest in your date’s life, or just generally being overly self-absorbed, these traits can be a major ick factor. To avoid giving off this impression, here are some tips to help you come across as more humble and considerate:
– Practice active listening and ask your date about their interests, experiences, and opinions.
– Show genuine interest and empathy towards others – make them feel heard and valued.
– Be humble and open-minded – nobody likes a know-it-all or someone who is always focused on themselves.
– Practice gratitude and kindness – show appreciation for the people and things in your life.
In conclusion, dating can be a minefield, and there are plenty of things that can turn us off. From lack of hygiene and bad manners to arrogance and self-centeredness, it’s important to be mindful of how we come across to others. By being considerate, driven, and humble, we can avoid giving off the biggest ick factors and instead, make a positive impression on our dates. Remember, it’s the little things that can make a big difference in the dating world!
“I wanna put a baby in you.”
No thanks, buddy.
From the last year …
1. You seem nice unlike other girls.
2. Got in a conversation with a man on a hike and he basically said that women going out alone with friends inspires cheating.
If they’re rude. But that goes for everyone.
Arrogant and full of himself.
Making you feel like taking care of him is a chore. Like a mother taking care of her son instead a girlfriend/partner taking care of her boyfriend.
“For an Asian you’re really pretty”
I’ve had multiple guys try and say this, but I find it INSANELY fucking rude, like what’s it even mean? Asian women are normally ugly? Like what the fuck kind of compliment is that???
When male strangers ask me to smile.
self-deprecating tendencies 😬
Having misogynistic/sexist values. It’s a good way to find out if they view women as humans
Catcalling and Harrassing young girls. I’m plus size and outside on the streets etc. that’s the first thing people notice about me so catcalling is rare but seeing men target young girls to be disgusting to makes my blood boil.
Also general rudeness, talking over me and agressiveness
Vape and refer to women as “females”
Porn addict, or addiction of any kind.
Turning everything into a competition. You don’t have to gauge your self-worth on being superior to others.
If their mom decides everything for them.
**Immaturity**. he’s full of himself, and doesn’t see a need to improve himself. he disregards your pleas towards him, you go on and on and on, and it’s like you said nothing.
he just thinks of himself, only sees his needs, and whenever he does something to you he rubs it in your face, and completely disregards all the good you do for him.
you’re walking on eggshells around him, life with him is miserable.
Believing that his penis is somehow the Magic Penis that I’ve been waiting for to finally turn me straight. Would literally rather eat a sandwich full of my own ass hair.
Comparing you to other women. It’s not a compliment, you’re just sexist lol
When they drop the act after learning you’re not sexually available. A TON of “nice guys” behave this way.
Not accepting what they’ve done wrong and not apologising.
Dismissing any factual information you tell them and they say it’s it’s ‘not true’ because you are a girl and you ‘know nothing’.
When they start feeling up your thighs and you move their hand continuously away but he keeps putting it back until you give up.
Play fighting but him being so rough you actually get hurt and have bruises all over.
Chewing with mouth open.
Not taking no for an answer.
Twanging your bra straps in public.
Him inviting you out for dinner but expecting you to pay for it all.
Doesn’t let you near his phone.
I don’t know if these are icks or red flags but these are all from my experience.
When they haven’t cut their nails… was on a fourth date with a guy ready to become a little freaky and it was just ruined was also the last date
Peeing in bottles and leaving them around rather than getting up and going to the bathroom
Misogynistic behavior
Addiction to porn, alcohol, hard drugs, or gambling
Lack of purpose/initiative
Emotional unavailability
Smoking, vaping, or chewing tobacco
Poor hygiene
Adult men refusing to eat vegetables. Grow tf uuuupppppp.
Calling themselves an “alpha” 🤮
Calling women “females”, being overly worried that people think they are gay, complaining nobody can take a joke anymore, spitting on the ground, reposting conservative memes on facebook, being a little too loud about their attraction to late teenagers and early 20s celebrities, not clipping their toe nails, having no soap in the bathroom to wash their hands, “if men and women are equal can I punch a woman to defend myself?” “Bringing up men’s mental health and suicide rate issues whenever women are speaking up, thinking bullying fat people online with motivate them to loose weight, want to date virgins exclusively, shows anger towards inanimate objects and electronics, uses any lingo from the manosphere side of the internet…you get the gist, I don’t need to list everything
I love my fiancé dearly.
Flat feet run in his family and occasionally he’ll lay on his back and clap his flat feet together like a large baby.
Makes me feel some type of way.
