Australian women share unusual ‘troubles’ after dating partners

An Australian woman interviewed a group of women to find out what gave them “tension” on their last date, with very surprising results.

Winnie, who blogs on Instagram under the username Winnie Blues, asked her 36,000 followers what their “oddly specific” ick was.

“Ick” is when an interest in an existing or potential partner suddenly turns into a feeling of disgust because the person has done something upsetting or unpleasant.

Some examples given by Winnie’s fans were so niche and idiosyncratic that they made readers laugh.

“I can’t look at my wife while taking a shower. It sounds pathetic,” one woman wrote.

Another said, “A man runs towards a bird and the bird does not escape.”

“The bald head is sweaty and shiny,” added a third.

There were problems when a man using an umbrella, calling a radio station to chat, thought the house was locked, and when they got a telemarketing call and had to say they weren’t interested.

“I tried so hard not to laugh in an Uber while reading this,” a man on the phone replied.

Another woman said that seeing someone running for the bus more generally gave her a “click”, which was immediately confirmed.

Sleeveless duvets, navy blue sheets for the bedroom, preachers in saunas, and men sitting cross-legged on the floor also made the cut.

“I tried so hard not to laugh while reading this in an Uber on my way home,” a man on the phone replied.

“I will never forget the bird chasing one,” said another.

The third said: “You totally get the telemarketing thing. How to grow and hang some”.

Psychologists at Bondi Mind Matters have previously considered the notorious deal-breaker, which can be described as a sudden but irreversible feeling of disgust for a romantic interest that leads you to end the relationship.

Often acting in the blink of an eye after witnessing some kind of shut-in, ‘ick’s physical attraction turns into disgust with a hateful laugh, a rude word, or an unpleasant meal.

But psychologists say the phenomenon is often a self-defense mechanism to guard against rejection, fear of intimacy or commitment, and relationship breakdown.

“Most of us want to feel safe with a partner, trust them, communicate openly and share interests.” says the message.

“But if an unexpected behavior suddenly pushes you, ask yourself what could it be?”

Relationship therapists explain that attraction is a “flip-flop phenomenon”; here something that attracts you to someone today may be exactly what you reject tomorrow.

Traits take on different meanings as a partnership progresses, because people you like and carefree in the beginning can often be irresponsible and reckless in more important situations.

But experts warn that immediate reactions such as “disgusts” that “fall from the sky” often have deeper explanations.

Certain behaviors may cause a long-term unresolved problem for you or may reflect a challenge in your life that is causing unconscious stress.

If you suddenly find yourself “sick” on a regular basis, psychologists say it’s best to stop and ask yourself if you’re protecting yourself from an obvious red flag.

“Evil isn’t always caused by small things. It can be red flag behavior like being rude to waiters or constantly talking about you,” the post explains.

“Or are we acting ‘justified’ to self-sabotage and thereby undermine our chances of successful intimate relationships?”
