128 men share their “icks” in women

Someone from our Instagram community asked if guys have icks for girls… Brace yourselves, ladies. New information will be unlocked, as well as new fears. But first, let us define an “ick”. It’s an informal expression used to express disgust at something unpleasant or offensive.

Most common icks for men in women:

Bad Hygiene. Bad breath, body odors, poor oral hygiene, and a general lack of cleanliness took the top spot as an ick for men. Bad hygiene is simply repelling. Ladies, here are a few of my favorite feminine care products:

Invest in feminine wipes. I love ‘Freshies’ from Woo More Play. They cleanse/ freshen things up and leave you smelling like a vanilla cupcake. I always carry at least one with me. 12/10 recommend.

This mini Dove deodorant spray is small enough to fit into most purses. It smells so fresh and clean. Lastly, I always carry minty gum and lip gloss.

Smoking (cigarettes, vaping)

Rudeness/Entitlement (being rude to service industry workers, entitled attitudes, and treating others poorly)

Bad Teeth (crooked teeth/ bad oral hygiene).

Overuse of Makeup (too much makeup, caked-on makeup)

Ugly or dirty feet/toes (dirty feet, unkempt feet/toes). I was pretty surprised at how often this was mentioned. This has nothing to do with these men possibly having a foot fetish or foot phobia. Men are simple… they like things that look and smell nice.

Being Overly Loud (loud attention-seeking behavior, obnoxiousness, and combative nature)

Insecurity (need for constant validation, clinginess, and codependency)

Obsession with Astrology
