He spent the night at my house and while I was doing my nighttime face wash/tooth brushing routine , he told me to get in the bed and stop pretending like I brushed my teeth every night…. Because nobody did. I thought everybody did…

Yes, we do. Well, everyone we want to stand within 6 feet of does, anyway....
#3
I swore I would take this to my grave because im still embarrassed... I was talking to this guy name Zach for 6 months before we did anything. I had just met his son and our date went so good so why not 🤷♀️after doing the deed, he gave me a high five and said " really good job, ill be sending you a text with a survey attached so I can know how I did. Always love to hear feedback." I barley got in my car before receiving the text... the first question was " How did Big papa satisfy you today, please rate 1-10? " I have never blocked and deleted someone so quick in my life. 😳

Hopefully someone out there will find it funny and play along.

After I told him my fav books he said he doesn’t enjoy reading anything fictional because why would he waste his time in an imaginary setting…… he was also a huge marvel fan
#5
AFTER my first husband and I got married - like 5 months after - he proceeds to look at me at Christmas and tell me I used too many big words and I needed to stop trying to outsmart him in front of people. We were separated very shortly after because wtf.
#6
Upon meeting him for the first time, he asked if we could stop by his house real quick to pick something up. He invited me inside, asked me to cook something for his 5 kids cause he doesn’t know how to cook and they were hungry. I took an uber home lol
#7
Took a nap…. In his bed…… With his….. Mud covered boots on….. UNDER THE COVERS!!!
#8
i woke up at 5 am to a noise in my room and it was him going through boxes and stuff i had under my bed
#9
He had to eat a grilled cheese with a glass of milk IN BED before falling asleep because it's what his mommy did for him growing up.
#10
He told me to stop using big words to confuse him. Diligent. I had used the word diligent.
#11
we were about to kiss after an awesome date and when I was .5 inches away I could see buildup on his teeth like he never brushes them. body rolled away and asked as. gently as I could about it. he said he doesn't believe in toothbrushes
#12
He was jealous of a tampon. Was worried it would… “stretch things out” and he’d be too small. News flash- he was too small. And he talked like a baby when he would say my name lololololol
#13
I made hard-boiled eggs and he couldnt figure out how to get the shell off so he put the whole thing in his mouth with the shell and ate it. Hearing the crunch was one of the most painful things I've experienced.

Egg shell is one of the worst things you can find in a sandwich. You can't spit it out 'cos you've got a mouthful of half-chewed sandwich in there; you don't want to chew any more cos you'll break it into even smaller pieces; you don't want to just swallow cos you might choke...
#14
Guy took me to Olive Garden and ordered a Dr. Pepper without ice because and he whispered it to me "you get more in your glass". Then got mad when I said you know refills are free?

I don't get ice either, but it's because I prefer my drinks at room temp (except for beer)
#15
We went for a walk at a nature place after we had dinner. We came upon a bunch of squirrels just minding their business. Me (A known animal love that feeds birds out of my hand was quiet observing them.) suddenly, he clapped really loud and the squirrels ran off. I said what did you do that for? And we got in a fight about how we are in their habitat and he said no it’s our habitat. The clap really gave me the ick. He never heard from me again.
#16
We went to Olive Garden where he proceeded to play Falling in Reverse on full blast on his phone while we sat and waited. I was mortified.
#17
We went to ramen, he told me about his semester in Tokyo and proceeded to fake burp between sips bc “it is a compliment to the chef”. The chef literally said “nah man”
#18
I gave ONE compliment about how pretty his eyes were in the sunlight. He proceeded to send me several pics a day of close ups of his eyes in different angles in the sun like a Twilight character. Block.
#19
So on our first date I discovered he would snap his fingers at the end of every sentence where a period would technically go. Never talked to him again. That’s on period 🫰🏻
#20
Asked me how I was going to hide my tattoos in a wedding dress, called his mom like four times at dinner to tell her how much he liked me (it was our first date 🫠)
#21
He talked about how his sister is the most beautiful woman in the world and how he wanted a girl who would be willing to fight other girls for him in public like his sister
#22
Went on a first date at a sushi restaurant. He dipped his finger in the wasabi and put it straight in his mouth, he gaged and was dumbfounded to find out it wasn’t guacamole 😑
#23
He told me he didn’t have $ and so I offered to buy our jimmy johns and then on our walk out of his apt he asked his roommate “hey want anything?” And I told him I’m not buying his and he said that’s ok I will….. like wdym???
#24
He thought every woman in the world got her period at the same time
#25
He made a huge deal about trying sushi. When he took a bite he made nasty faces and was just so dramatic, he ran outside and through the window kept looking up to make sure I could see him “throwing up” and feel bad. He was 40 btw. 😭
#26
He sang Creep as it was playing during Guardians of the Galaxy in a full theater while staring at me the whole time. I was mortified
#27
He told me that his daughter’s favorite holiday was Christmas. When I asked was he getting her a tree, he said “no, she can see the tree at her grandmas house when she visits her mom”. He didn’t have Christmas NOTHING in his house for his daughter. And he has custody. Yeeucccckk. Put some magic together for her!
#28
Told him my fav song was “Where Is My Mind” by Pixies. He said it was weird and sad, and insisted that he’d show me “good” music. Then he played Uptown Funk.
#29
he took me to panda express and offered to teach me how to use chopsticks, when he found out i already knew how to use them he was moody and distant the rest of the date
#30
I told him I liked his laugh, so he would over exaggerate his laugh everytime I said something remotely funny. I never told a joke again
#31
He carried a drawstring backpack on dates with just a chapstick in it.
#32
I was a plus one date at a wedding and when the groom was walking down the aisle my date stuck his hand out for a high five (??) and the groom ignored it and I was just so embarrassed the whole night

In answer to @MalayDragon (who was downvoted enough to cancel the reply button and never got an answer): The few weddings I went to had the couple walk in together, often following directly after the pastor. Traditions differ. 🤷
#33
Called himself a CEO in his bio. He was a barber
#34
Sang “hey there Delilah” to me while my back was turned, I went to turn around to be like “awwww” and he said “DONT LOOK AT ME!!” like okay babe…won’t ever look at u again
#35
We were playing mini golf and he was keeping score. At the end when I asked him who won, he ate the paper.
#36
showed me a video of him & his guy friend kissing while drunk & asked if i was jealous 😭
#37
He took me for a nature walk (not the ick part) but he brought his ukulele and played his rendition of “Hey There Delilah” over and over again. We got lost, so it was like two hours of this. Non stop.
#38
He brought “dinner” over for us and it was ONE SINGLE alfredo tv dinner … then he tried to eat it in my bed.
#39
He thought the orange chicken from Panda Express was too spicy and I quote "makes my tummy feel sad" and grabbed his stomach while making whining noises.
#41
Okay this is a reasonable ick but I went to his place for the first time and he had poopy underwear on the floor in his bedroom. Not judging an accident at all but why was it not in the trash…. Why was it on the floor in his bedroom… I left so damn quick
#42
Went on a third date with a guy. He kissed me goodnight, turned around, gave me fingers guns and said "that will give you something to think about."
#43
He want to the bathroom and I heard the toilet flush. He came out of the bathroom without washing his hands. When I called him out for not washing his hands, he was annoyed I brought it up and said “okay mom” in a mocking tone then went to wash his hands. He was 25.
#44
Caressed my hand and told me how pretty my nails were.....while having the dirtiest fingernails ever. No way was I letting him throw my PH balance off 😂
#45
he tried to have a locked eyes moment with me while backing up his truck and hit the car behind him
#46
Gave me a letter when picking me up for the first date and told me I couldn’t read it until he left. Whole date was small icks like not making a reservation, asking me to drive. Opened the letter when he left and it started with “if you’re reading this our first date went well”
#47
giant clumps of his earwax would fall out bc he didn’t clean his ears… i left him
#48
He made me laugh one time by cartwheeling in front of an automatic door and that was the only time I laughed. Every single automatic door we walked in front of after that, he cartwheeled and it made me SO MAD lol

What's it with these "men" acting like 4yo kids who figured out new thing for the first time 🤦🏼♀️
#49
I went out with a guy that was objectively out of my league. Well off, very attractive... and he had the personality of a wet piece of bread. We went to the Olive Garden and he couldn't find anything he liked to eat because he "was a meat and potatoes man" and then proceeded to talk about himself for 2 hours but only with prompting because he couldn't carry a basic conversation on his own. I was so disappointed 😭
#51
I’m a lesbian so take it w a grain of salt but when I was in hs I dated this dude who brought his guitar to my house and *badly* serenaded me w Blake Shelton songs while I awkwardly sat and listened for no less than 45 minutes.
MalayDragon 10 hours ago
I'm wondering if it was at this moment the OP realized she was in fact gay.
#52
He didn’t believe in the letter C and would use S or K to replace it in words
#53
On our second date he got heartburn so badly he cried and asked me to hold him
#54
He had a hyperfixation with Texas. He talked about Texas the entire time. Elevations, populations, you name it. He’d never been to Texas before.
#55
The way he “jogged” across a cross walk. He didn’t speed up at all. His steps just bounced higher like he was Mario skipping on rainbow road
#56
I told him I like haircuts with bangs (on myself) and he GOT BANGS.
#57
First date. Took me to Olive Garden and did a back flip in the parking lot randomly on the walk inside
#58
He pretended he could speak Italian and then proceeded to speak gibberish from time to time thinking I fell for it
#59
He told me he was going to sue me for the DUI he got on the way home from our first date
#60
He said that he spend a month in London and “picked up their accent” then the accent suddenly started to “slip out” towards the end of our date…
#61
He didn’t swing his arms when he walked - reminded me of Lurch
#62
he said “this is expensive” at a burger king
#63
He paid for my meal and boxed up my leftovers… and took them home FOR HIMSELF.
#64
They wore those shoes that separate the toes individually

#67
he asked me to remind him to brush his teeth...
#68
This guy I was talking to snuck ice cream sandwiches in my bathroom to eat them so I wouldn’t know. He ate 3 in a row.
#69
ooooo it’s my time to shine.. so this guy i was dating came over to hangout and him and my dog were bonding, which i loved because my dog was reactive & didn’t really like majority of people. so my dog & him were snuggling on the couch and in that moment i thought “how sweet” even took some pictures of them etc. well he ended up spending the night and the next morning he woke up covered in my dogs hair & it instantly grossed me out, like ew why are you covered in dog hair.. i ended things that same morning because i was so grossed out that he was covered in MY dogs fur but i told him i just didn’t see this going anywhere😂😂😂😂 he was confused on why i was ending things so abruptly. then 5 hours later i regretted my decision, came to my senses and told him i want to keep talking and im sorry for trying to end things i just “felt scared to get hurt”. 9 years later he’s now my husband & i told him recently why i got the ick that day and we laugh about how ridiculous i am🤭
#71
sent me a selfie and asked “could you imagine waking up to this everyday?”
#73
My husband stood up on his tip toes the other day when he was upset. Still thinking about it
#76
He insisted on doing the Thriller dance the first time he met my parents. He didn’t have the CD (this was back in the day) so he did the dance in complete silence.
#77
I kind of lose interest when they use "your" instead of "you're"
#79
this isn’t even weird i feel like this is really valid but he couldn’t get his tires lined up to enter a car wash and the worker had to come out and help him
#80
they bent down to grab their dogs leash and the dog started running away and they chased the dog in the bent down position.
#85
We were driving with the windows down and his earlobes kept flapping in the wind..
#86
I got the friend ick when she said I owed her $1.86 🤣
PandaPadi 11 hours ago
I dont like owing people money however small the amount is. While I dont expect or ask my friends to give me back money I lent especially if it is a small amount, I would not mind they ask for money they lent back. You never know what they are going through, maybe they were $1.86 short to getting something they needed.
#87
He was wearing slides that were too big so his toes overhung the front and he would grab the front with his toes while he walked
#88
My ex girlfriend showed up in a Mike Meyer Jason Mask at the Olive Garden ages ago…Halloween is fun right?
#89
He said ‘damn there’ instead of ‘damn near.’ As in, ‘I am damn there fell asleep standing up.’ He also spelled the word doubt, ‘doupt.’
#90
It’s not the weirdest but when I saw he a had a ton of fedoras on the wall of his closet I got the biggest ICK. They were right under his bow ties.
#91
We were on the verge of breaking up but he farted and it smelled really bad and I just got up and said I can’t do this anymore
#92
wore his socks floppy. like the toe part would be an inch or two from his actual toes 😭
#93
His sock was hanging off his foot so weird when we woke up I immediately left
#95
I dated him for three months and it was during winter time and then when the weather warmed up I finally saw him in a pair of shorts and realised he had knock knees and I broke up with him as we were sitting there at lunch. And I had to come up with something quick and remotely plausible because I couldn’t let him know I was that shallow
#96
Wore leather gloves to my grandmothers funeral. I literally could not focus on my grief lol
#97
I broke up with a guy because his voice didn’t match his physique. Imagine Channing Tatum but with Jesse Eisenberg’s voice (Bird from Rio)
Daisydaisy 13 hours ago
Wow, some of these are so shallow and mean! Imagine men saying they'd dumped women for these kinds of reasons!
#98
DJ said make some noise and he made noise
#99
He wore flip flops on our first date and they got wet and made farting noises the whole date.
#100
He screamed at the wrong time at a concert.
#101
He lost his phone the day before so he had to use his iPad. The iPad had a satchel so he wore it acrosss his back to pump my gas. He leans on my car and farts. I had enough.
#102
I couldn’t get over the fact his name was Cliff. I hated saying it 😂😂
#103
Instead of sweet dreams he said “sweat dreams ♥️”
#104
He wore moccasins on our first date. Mind you it was summer.
#105
He got a text and promptly turned his iPhone sideways to respond using the big sideways keyboard
#106
I’m a huge steak lover so we went to a steakhouse, I got a 6 oz (I usually do 12) so he got the same, he could barely finish it.. he looked like he was struggling he was so full.. something about a man who can’t finish a 6oz steak gave me the ick lol
#107
He was moving a rug for me. Picked it up and accidentally farted. Instead of ignoring it he said “oopsie—I tooted”
#108
He bought a brand new Kia soul and was proud of it

Seriously? Maybe his 1st new car, all he could afford, regardless he is better off without you!

Most of these were interesting and seemed spot on, but the ones at the bottom were just showing that the writer was self-unaware and petty and the date himself luckily escaped a bad relationship.

Right? The other parties in the bottom posts dodged bullets/cannons/missiles etc. The posters of them need to wear signs or something so normal people can nope out of that rubbish.

One of my icks is when they drive dangerously or do stunts while driving thinking that it is impressive. I cant see myself with someone who can easily put my life in danger. I dont care how much of a "pro racer" you think you are, I just want to go home safe and whole.

I had an old neighbor who would do this to anyone. Redneck to the core including a Ford logo tattoo. I honestly don't know if there was a s****l component to it or not.
