An Australian woman who interviewed a group of women late last month came back with even more answers to find out what was bothering them on their last date.
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.

“Girls who can’t use a manual gearbox,” “denim jackets with wool collars,” and “those who stand barefoot outside the shower waiting to warm up” were just a few of the dark additions mentioned last night.
There are also “men crossing their legs while sitting”, “sending an ax after everything” and “trying gourmet”.
“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.

The physical attraction of “evil”, which is often acted upon in the blink of an eye after witnessing some kind of closure, 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 happen?”
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 regularly suffering from the “illness”, psychologists say it’s best to stop and ask yourself if you’re protecting yourself from an obvious red flag.
The ‘ick’ isn’t always due to the little things, it can be red flag behavior like being rude to waiters or constantly talking about you,” explains the post.
“Or are we acting ‘justified’ to self-sabotage and thereby undermine our chances of successful intimate relationships?”
