“The Ickiest Ick”: 30 Male Behaviors That Instantly Ruin Their Chances At Romance
Everyone has their own set of dating standards. There are specific traits and behaviors that we classify as major turn-ons. On the flip side, we have a list of “ick” factors that instantly incinerate the slightest chance of a budding romance.
Today, we’re focusing on the women and the actions men showed that they were immediately repulsed by. While most of these are shallow, laughable, and bordered on downright weird, some were valid enough and worthy of online attention.
These are responses we’ve collected from a recent TikTok post. Ladies, feel free to share your experiences in the comments below!

he voted for trump 💔💔💔
He said “that’s not how my mom does it”, when I was simply cutting up a bell pepper. GO GET YOUR MOMMY TO CUT IT UP THEN 🤯
saying he didn’t like black people
Had a guy say that to me, I was sat there and just stared at him and then said - "You do realise that I'm Native American Indian?"... Omg his face! Totally cut him out as in no contact and yes, did tell other friends why I'd broken up with him and they asked why I'd told him to leave my home that night.
he told me I couldn't use tampons because it was like I was cheating
Wtf?! My ex husband only 3 years thank God but I had my daughter with him and he told my daughter she couldn't use tampons (she's 15) cause it would make her not a vigin anymore smdh then said he didn't want her on birth control (me and my daughter decided on it cause her periods are horrible and would help her) he said it stunts their growth and brain development 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
thank you for this...this is 100% the correct response.
Load More Replies...ate an apple at 11 pm and he said “you’re still eating???” Blocked him the next day
And he's still breathing? Too bad you couldn't shove the core down his throat. F-off, buddy.

he still sleeps in same bed with his mom.HE IS 30
Seriously dysfunctional. Mother sounds toxic, maybe he doesn't know any better or she's super controlling/a*****e.
Neither one has a healthy relationship there.
Load More Replies...Single mom once told me she lets her 13-year old son sleep in her bed. If you want to point fingers, ask mom why she hadn't ended that practice long ago. I'd rather not blame the son who's clearly emotionally dependent.
he told me being on my period was gross and would ignore me or say "don't talk to me until you're done bleeding"
just nick your finger whenever he tries to talk to you. "sorry babe, can't talk, I'm bleeding"
Take a bloody pad and and threaten to wipe it all over him till he packs his s**t and gets out of your life.
I bet the same guy regularly tried to maintain convo while on the loo.
he seriously showed me a youtube video explaining how the earth was flat….
If the earth really was flat? I'm pretty sure cats would've pushed everything off the edge of it by now...
It's important to understand that "flat" is not technically a shape and neither is "round". "Sphere" is a shape. Flat and round are characteristics that many shapes may exhibit to one degree or another. Importantly, it depends on how we measure it. We might call a cardboard box flattened, but we know it is not perfectly flat. A section of sheet metal is flat, but often exhibits shallow curves, which are rounded. So the Earth is a sphere, but if we measure only a small portion of its surface, then it can be accurately described as flat. A lot of the Earth is flat. Remember that the next time someone tells you you're getting a belly.
He decided to wear slides no socks first time we hung out alone and he had yellow nails that CURLED OVER THE CHANCLAS BRO
Tried mansplaining episiotomy’s to me… who’s actually had an episiotomy.
Mansplaining is still valid when its men who specifically target women to treat condescendingly and treat women like we don't know anything.

he did baby talk constantly. especially when i was mad at him. “you’re mads at mes :(“ yes dude you just told me you hope my dog dies
I'm going with saying he hoped your dog dies as ickier, although both are 🤮
HE DID WHAT! wHaT! what!?!?! That sonamabitch!!! Condescending evil prickk!
he faked jumping out his window. his “mom” texted me from his phone saying he was being rushed to the er and was going into surgery. he kept this act on for so long. he lives in a ONE STORY HOUSE
At my age, I could definitely get seriously hurt jumping from a first story window.
he got so mad he ripped his car bumper off mid tantrum over me not wanting to hangout with his (toxic) friends 💀
My ex-husband did stuff like that and then he would immediately say, "You made me do that"
“I want you to act, submit, and dress like my mom. I feel like we wouldn’t be fighting as much.” Like WHAT.
That comment is inappropriately funny for soooooo many reasons
Load More Replies...Submit... But... Just sicky burped cos double you tee eff????????
he started crying because i didn’t let him go through my phone ON THE FIRST DATE 😭
when my dad died he told me that he could fill that role bruh💔🥀
1st date with a guy who had his own makeup removers and proceeded to wipe off my makeup without consent at a public restaurant.. he liked his girls “natural”
As someone who doesnt wear makeup.... A*****T!! Secondly, some people have sensitive skin that reacts to those pad!!
My ex tried that once. We were in a pub and he reached over the table with a wet wipe to wipe my eyeshadow off, he pulled my glasses off. I pushed his hand away, looked at him, grabbed my glasses. Gave him a full on glare and left.
Oh ok and someone's getting the snot slapped out of them. That's INSANE
SOBBED in my lap after I found out he got another girl pregnant (with twins) saying “this is what I’ve been dealing with all summer”.. meanwhile.. I was going through chemotherapy lol 🥲👩🏼🦲
Ok, why do guys say that bs?! "Dealing with this" it's like a bother. You chose to lay down with that person and don't use protection but when she comes back pregnant, they are always sorry or the "this is too much" wasn't too much when you laid down with them!!! To OP bless her heart, i hope she is in remission and left that d****e bag.
Yeah, that's why so many pregnant women and recent mothers get killed by their partner. or why men offer to pay for abortions. Because they're all so in love with their children. Are you a bit dumb?
Load More Replies...Told me he’s married, but they’re not serious.
Of course not, how obtuse of you to think that this legally binding relationship is anything more than a fling 🙄
he said the wanted to "change me" while i was on my period and tried to force me to call him dad
not daddy... but dad. either way its weird, but dad just feels weirder.
he said “i’ve been a bad bad boy” whenever i confronted him for cheating on me 💜
Sounds like you've confronted him about this numerous times. Why? Why didn't you leave after the first time?
Pouting. He literally put his hands behind his back bent his knees and puckered his lips and fr pouted saying I’m sowwy. He wasn’t joking either.
He calls himself “a great manipulator” and he is proud of it!
Oh gawd. I knew one of those - his “Gemini nature” made him unable to stop himself from manipulating others. He practically tortured his ex with a constant date-breakup-makeup cycle. Also, he truly only wanted to date people who looked like him because he was “unique”. He had a very specific feature - think something genetic like hair or eye color - that he thought his girlfriend should also have. Complete narcissist, but again supposedly that’s because he’s a Gemini.
Unique? I think you spelled sociopath wrong.
Load More Replies...Sounds like several of my exes. Run fast before the rest of the "master manipulators" notice!!!
He bragged about the bad things he did to neighbors when he was a little boy, one of the things - looking all happy about it - flooding a neighbor's basement using a garden hose. He ended by saying somebody had said he'd done it and, looking very smug and pleased with himself, said somebody defended him and said, "No. It wasn't_____. ______would never do anything like that."
Called his mum mid date to ask for money
I complimented his mom and he looked at me weird and said „do you want me or my mom?“ bro can’t I compliment ur mom????
In this particular instance, the correct response woulda been “Your mom. Get away from me, аsshole!”
"You are tired after 6 hours of sleep. My mom sleeps 3 and she is always energetic. You must have health issues." "We are not splitting the tip because I don't wanna give them a tip, so it's on you."
when we were eating a pizza at a restaurant he pulled out a hair and used it as dental floss.
Growing up my friends would call it mexican floss, and yes they were Hispanic as well
he smeared his boogers on the backside of his bed. i found out by accidentally touching it.
A now very much ex friend used to do this on my coffee table!!! Years ago when we both in our teens but omg bleugh!!!!
OH MY GOD!!!! I'm literally freaking out just at the thought!!! I'm gonna go Clorox myself
he ripped his shirt in half when he got upset 🙃
he peed in my sink.HE PEED IN MY SINK.
he wasn't sure if the moon was real
He asked me questions abt my period, but then when i answered them, he said i was wrong?? 😭
his mom cut his steak for him while we were at dinner
When he stopped looking at the road while driving and said he wouldn’t look back at the road until he kissed me
His mom still clipped his toenails…..
Asked to do father x daughter roleplay.
He was mean to a chipotle worker☹️
In a snap he unironically typed out and sent *sighs cutely*.
he would pick his nose and put his boogers ON ME. 😀
“ur mine, only mine” then he cheated
He called me momma. here is a direct quote. “you are so momma. Can i see a picture momma?”
sing “sorry”by justin bieber to apologize after cheating on me
if this happened to me, i would have the most justified crashout
“Turn ur camera on so I can see my beautiful wife” GET OUT OF MY SKINNN (I was 13 at the time 💔)
"age is just a number!" Well, prison is just a place, and you have no return ticket.
Men. That. Have. Long. Nails.
stomping away in a pair of flip flops
He didn’t want to pay for my food so he said “I’m just a baby… I can pay you in blocks🥺”
Is that from "Broad City" when the girls clean that weird guy's house?
made me split the cost of a baja blast.
cheated on me w 9 different girls. we were together 10 days 💀💀
He said he was a mystery lone wolf.
He spoke in the third person and said “*his name* OUT” to end an argument
When I told my ex my dog just passed away, I just had her put down. I was crying, and heartbroken. He then sent me a picture of his dog and said “my dog is out playing he’s so happy” 🙃
I can tolerate alot but when it comes to my animals that's where the like stops. This would have made my blood boil. What a d**k!!!!
Yea I feelmfor you. When you tell people you're heart broken because your dog died and they ask you how old she was, she was 15 and they say, well she was old. yea a forking knew she was old but it doesn't make it better..she was very healthy and still loved walking playing and being out. She had a brain tumour that was inoperable. When from running on the beach to vets in 2 weeks.
i catched him eating boogers, said to him that it was disgusting and he didn’t even bother and then continues doing it
told me he was 5'10. I'm 5'4. he was eye level.
Short girl dates tall guy, nobody cares, tall girl dates short guy and everyone loses their minds smdh I'm taller than my husband. He's 5'4 and I'm 5'6 and it don't bother me one bit.
I think it's probably him lying about it rather than his actual height.
Load More Replies...Sexiest man I’ve ever met AND best s*x of my life was a guy who at most was 5’6”. It’s not your height, it’s your insecurity.
HA! Had that one happen. Except he was BELOW eye level when I met him.
“im just fighting demons madeleine, you opened pandora’s box and you’re the only one who can close it now.”
get in the box...i definitely won't bury it 6 feet under..
He was playing COD and said “if I scream dw, I just have ptsd.” And proceeded to scream as loud as he could while side eyeing me to see if I was paying attention😃
Since you asked, this doesn't count as mansplaining... COD is Call of Duty, which is a video game that simulates combat warfare. Nobody who actually has PTSD would EVER play that game.
Load More Replies...Storming off in a sully costume on Halloween and watching the tail wag
he got mad i was closer to my bsf of 9 years than him (we dated for 3 months) and said it seemed like i wanted to date her more than him
he went into a depressive episode for 3 days because billie eilish didn’t get a grammy
After he came he said “hot diggity dog!”😭
He showed up to my house in flip flops and then said “sorry kitty my feet stink” to my cat
he laughed and an ungodly amount of boogers came out
he said he dedicated a bruno mars song to me and started singing it. i started laughing and he thought i was giggling out of nervousness. and he said “damn i got u giggling”
He wore the things in your shoes to make you taller
I started a new school I was really nice to this one boy, I gave him bracelets complimented him stuff like that. and he decided compared me to Rasputia from Norbit... 💀
unironically sent me a capcut edit of himself 💔💔
Am I just old or is this meaningless? Normally I can't stand grammar and spelling pedants, but why is it so hard to use a capital letter at the start of a sentence? Or a period? Not a fan of the emojis either.
Drives me crazy, too. All they have to do is double-space at the end of a sentence and the phone will add the period and capitalize the next letter. It's that easy.
Load More Replies...he ordered Victoria secret thongs... for himself
I agree. Cross-dressing is a totally normal and healthy means of self-expression. It's perfectly fine not to find it appealing but it shouldn't be mocked.
Load More Replies...i catched him eating boogers, said to him that it was disgusting and he didn’t even bother and then continues doing it
he called me baby and we were talking for only a week 😭
Uhm he asked my favorite song and then played it on the guitar and sung and it was so bad
Ew. I had one who used to be like, "I'm going to bring my guitar" to MY family functions. He was HORRIBLE and it was super embarrassing.
he refused to open the door for me because “why would he do that” 🤨
he UNIRONICALLY asked me for a Duke Dennis hug.
I googled it since I too was in the dark: It's a hug where HE puts his hands around your waist while YOUR hands are around his NECK. WHY?!

He wore the sleeves on his hoodie like Ariana grande…and I stayed for 2 years.
he wore his hoodie with the sleeves covering his hands
Load More Replies...He. Booped. Me.
he said "please i know you have it in you to give me another chance" and i immediately lost all feelings for him. i could not stop laughing
Capital letters, people. At the start of a sentence. The word "I" should always be capitalized.
he gave me a charlie kirk smile after kissing me
i saw him running in flip flops and his toes were gripping the fronts of the flip flops. i irish goodbyed that one
he wore a night gown to bed.
Night gown or night shirt? I bought my husband a flannel nightshirt and he thinks it's the best thing ever.
He had Disney knees when helping me pick up a box from the ground
from google, cuz wtf is it…Disney knees" is a stance where the knee closest to a person's opposite leg swings in between their legs, resting there. It's a posture often associated with female Disney stars, but Joe Jonas has also been seen doing it.

He wore a fedora unironically
Um... It's a hat... Maybe he didn't care for your unironic use of a over the shoulder purse
That's not a Fedora. It's a Bowler. Everyone hates on Fedoras but wouldn't recognize a real one if it slapped them in the face with a Trilby. My Outback keeps me drier in the rain than an umbrella but "ick! Fedora!" No! Meanwhile all the cool kids are acting like a torque is fashionable indoor summer wear. This generation is a haberdasher's nightmare.
"Tooque" not torque! Autocorrect is also a hat hater. How do people edit comments?
Load More Replies...My sister loved my first boyfriend because he wore a fedora and let her wear it. I like a good hat too.
He brought his own bowling ball and shoes to bowling on the first date. I beat him with a score of 85 🙃

Load More Replies...when he wrote me a song and he can’t sing
He unironically used emojis like, “😔” and “🥺” occasionally “😡.”
he has a kia soul
Some were legit reasons but man some made me think good that guy deserves better.
None of these examples actually show he “deserved better”—unless, of course, the bar is in hell… oh wait...it is!
Load More Replies...Behavior is only labeled as "misandry" if you are uncomfortable taking accountability. Toss away the blame to someone else. It's ok, we're used to it.

You will. Probably on Monday. BP have a rota. It'll be "biggest ick men get from women".
Load More Replies...I had to Google so many of these. Agree, that these requests involving doing things like their mom is off putting and creepy.
My violent ex used to leave his dirty underwear in random places. Like on top of my kitchen counters or under the coffee table. That was bad enough but he also expected me to wash them too!... Erm, dude, nope. I ain't your Momma... If you can't pick up your own grundies then you know where the door is 😘😘😘
I’ve never seen the term “grundies” before but it’s exquisitely descriptive! I immediately imagined ‘em in my mind (and for that, eff you, Skip! 😆)
Load More Replies...It wasn't until the poll that I realized these were supposed to be shallow. Makes a little more sense on some of them now, but yeah...
