Winne Blues: Relationship dealbreakers by women who reveal their oddly specific icks

Blogger ‘Winnie Blues’ asked her fans to reveal their ‘oddly specific icks’

Single women have revealed their oddly specific ‘icks’ which include men who tip-toe through puddles, use bath towels at the beach or block their nose before jumping in water.

The icks were published by Aussie Winnie Blues who admits she was inundated with hundreds of messages when she asked what turns women off.

Winnie offered people the opportunity to agree and disagree with each ick – with most people confirming which acts belonged on the list.

Women agreed short men who prefer driving huge trucks gave them the ick, while men who use windscreen wipers on the highest setting or indicate for too long also made the list.

Food icks were also high on the list. 

One woman said men who say they are ‘gluten intolerant’ need to grow up – and 80percent of Winnie’s followers agreed.

‘Grown men who don’t like onion,’ wrote another.

One woman said she can’t handle it when people try to scoop ice cream but fail and slip.

Others maintained physical icks were the worst.

A lot of women agreed people who block their nose to jump into the pool were ‘icky’ while others can’t stand men who don’t bend their knees to lift things.

‘Men who kick their toes and then bend down in pain,’ wrote another savage entrant.

While another admitted she cuts off contact if they sneeze more than twice in a row. 

But not all of the icks were accepted by the audience – one woman complained about men who pat dogs with bare feat – but 80percent of people disagreed. 

Winne included she said: ‘But when they are just out of reach and your comfy on the couch.’

One woman said she hates when men climb trees but 70 percent of people disagreed.

‘There’s something about grown men wearing thongs that makes me want to ‘bleugh’,’ she said.

The next thing on her hit list were bindis, or prickles.

‘Why do I have trust issues every spring?’ she asked pointing to a dense patch of them.

Even Australia’s wildlife was targeted in the video.

‘Cockatoos and crows, they are so annoying,’ she said.

Many of the people commenting on the video pointed fun at the young woman.

One man said: ‘Bindies aren’t a problem if you wear thongs.’

She said mullets also give her the ick

‘The ick’ is when attraction to a current or potential partner suddenly changes to a feeling of disgust because the individual did something either disturbing or annoying.

There were problems with men using umbrellas, calling into a radio station just to have a chat, the thought of a man being locked out of his house and when they get a telemarketing call and have to say they aren’t interested.

Another woman argued that seeing someone run for a bus gave her the ‘ick’ in a more general way, which was met with rapid approval.

Sleeveless puffer jackets, dark blue bedroom sheets, people who preach about saunas and men sitting cross legged on the floor also made the cut.

‘I tried so hard not to laugh in the Uber on the way home reading these,’ one man replied to the thread.

Men using umbrellas was a very unusual ick

A third said: ‘Absolutely get the telemarketing thing. Like grow a pair and hang up’.

Another said she hates the thought of a man being ‘locked out of his house’.
