“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!
