Women share the ‘funniest’ and most outrageous things men do that annoy them.
From long fingernails to air guitar and even pushing a ‘pull door’, women have confessed to the specific turn-offs that make them cringe.
An “ick” is a quirk someone exhibits that makes a partner or date shy away, but has no direct impact on the relationship.
Sometimes they are things that people can get over, but if someone “gets sick of it” they are often unable to date their partner anymore.
‘What are your funniest icks? Mine is that he’s chasing a rogue ping-pong ball,” says sexual health educator Calee Shea, known as Buy Cliterateasked on her popular Instagram page.
