For people who date men, “getting the ick,” seems more common than finding love, so I thought it’d be interesting to find out exactly what’s turning people off.
Here’s what 18 different people had to say about what makes a man instantly unattractive, according to one Reddit thread:
1.
“Yesterday I went out with my friend (both female) for drinks. This guy came by our table and was obviously interested in my friend, but he basically inserted himself between us with his back to me. He was eating some crumbly thing and got crumbs on both of us. Yuck.”
2.
“I’ve met a lot of men who couldn’t feel other people’s pain. It’s so difficult for them to put themselves in someone else’s shoes. That’s extremely unattractive.”
4.
“I’m not joking when I’ve said I’ve been into all types of men. Different hobbies and views. What I can’t stand are jerks. It’s not hard to hold the door for the person behind you, or not to make a joke about someone, or to complain to me, ‘Why would you do community service?'”
5.
“Being whiny (like literally complaining about every single thing) and a man who has the urge to one-up everyone in everything.”
8.
“Being duplicitous and petty. Speaking badly of their friends, family, or acquaintances behind their backs, sometimes by making fun of their appearance or life circumstances… for no other reason than to try to make themselves look better. It doesn’t.”
16.
“Not knowing how to cook for himself. Only going to fast food restaurants every meal.”
