    Guys Are Sharing Little Things Women Do That Give Them The Ick

    As a woman, some of these are icks for me, too, tbh.

    I'm guilty of chatting with my female friends about icks we get from guys, so it only felt right to share men's icks and turn-offs about women. Here is what some men shared in this thread that I stumbled upon:

    Note: Some of these responses have been edited for length and/or clarity. 

    1. "No reciprocation of efforts."

    "If you don’t let me know in some way that you’re feeling me after I’ve made it clear I’m feeling you, then I stop pursuing. It happens a good amount, and a week later they’ll ask why I stopped trying to spend time with them."

    2. "Rude and demeaning attitudes. Like, aggressively rude or demeaning. That kills it for me."

    3. "No hobbies (people who cannot amuse themself usually demand your full attention, making you unable to practice your own hobbies). Negativity is another one. Not all days are good, but people who complain about every detail, even if their day would be considered amazing by most, are a pain."

    4. "When a woman doesn’t hold herself to the same standard that she holds her man. Not to say that the roles and responsibilities of each party need to be exactly the same in any given relationship, but it’s the worst when a woman acts a certain way/has a certain attitude but gets upset when the man acts that way as well."

    5. "When their dating profile is a list of qualities they want in a man, but doesn't say anything about what they're like or what they bring to a relationship."
