Everyone has those small, seemingly minor things that turn them off people, commonly called an “ick”. We spoke to seven men about what their unforgivable, weirdest ick is and they had some hilarious answers.

Dave

People who are too eager are my biggest icks. Maybe it’s my fear of commitment, but the more someone makes it obvious that they like me, the less I tend to like them. So, that texting everyday thing that people on Twitter swear is the hallmark of every great relationship is something I can’t do.

Korede David

If I notice a babe has a male bestie, I’m out. I’d feel like you’re doing stuff we might do together as couples with him. Someone of the opposite sex can’t really be your bestie.

Jonathan

My ick is having dry lips. Once your lips are cracked and chapped like the ground of the desert, I’m out.

Ben

Seeing a woman I wanna fuck tying wrapper is such a big ick. Please just stay naked or wear a t-shirt. A wrapper is such a downer for me, my God.

Chike

Poor grammar. I know it makes me seem pedantic but it just irks me when the person I want to sleep with can’t speak good English.

Tobi

I’m a sensitive person so I don’t like when people “playfully” insult me, like calling me  “ode”. It’s a major turn-off. People say I take things too seriously, but it is what it is. Don’t play rough with me when it comes to words. I’ll believe you.

Tunde

It’s dishonesty for me. I think it’s usually unproductive and I despise that.
