‘What’s Your Biggest Ick?’ : Funniest Immediate Romantic Turns Offs That Made People Nope Right Out of the First Date

Ah, the dreaded ick. We all have our own personal turn-offs in regards to dating. Some of them are legitimate and make total sense, while others are kind of silly… but still make total sense. Because our emotions are valid! It's important to remember that when dating… Don't just settle because someone is doing the decent basics.

We've all been on that one date where we couldn't make it past a half hour without wanting to make a run for it. Of course, nowadays you can't really use the old 'Oh my best friend is calling, it must be an emergency' go-to for when a date is going terribly wrong and we want to make a polite exit. It's too obvious, they're on to us in the meantime. 

Or maybe it's the other way around — have you ever been ghosted halfway through a date you thought was going semi-well? Yeah, same… in fact, we were unmatched,  blocked, and ghosted at the same time. Yeah, it wasn't the best date. u/lau-alf asked Reddit a simple question: What is a major turn-off when meeting someone? And boy did the answers get heavy. We've compiled some of the most relatable and funny comments down below, so feel free to check 'em out. While on the topic of dating, click here for some of the best dating app fails we've seen this week.
