Women Are Sharing The Things Men Have Done During Hookups That Were Immediate Icks, And I'm Howling While Reading Them

Buzz Feed03-05-2025

Reddit user DarkShadowMirage77 recently posted in r/AskWomen: "What's the biggest ick you got mid-hookup that you couldn't ignore?" The ladies of the sub bravely shared their cringiest hookup stories, and though there were hundreds of noteworthy, nauseating comments, we narrowed it down to some of the wildest (and truly gnarliest) ones. Godspeed:
1. "He bit my neck trying to be sexy, and his WHOLE TOOTH came out. It wasn't a veneer. That was his natural tooth. My whole body cringes when I think about it."
— MsDovahkiin
2. "He called my nipples 'nip nops.'"
— We-talk-for-hours
3. "The guy I was hooking up with got up from the bed and left a big brown streak across the sheets. I thought it was sweat at first. It was not."
— Starwarsmom_78
4. "I went over to a guy's house to hookup and his house smelled like dog poop. Then his entire bed was absolutely covered in dog fur. I kept trying to go down on him, but I kept choking on dog fur. I wasn't about to get dog fur up in me. I had to leave. I was disappointed too because he was so hot and I was really looking forward to it."
— Virgosapphire81
5. "I was in the middle of giving him head. He was standing up, and we decided to move things to the couch. When he sat down, he spread his legs a bit, and I saw that he had dingleberries by his balls. I did tell him, and he hopped in the shower to rinse, but he ghosted me after that! Normally, it wouldn't matter, but he was a friend I'd had a crush on for YEARS, so I was pretty upset at the time. Every time I miss him, I remember the poop though."
— hollowxbody
6. "We were kissing, and he started licking my teeth. Nope."
— doyouevenlemon
7. "I met him at a bar, went back to his place, and he had multiple pictures hanging and on tabletops of him and another woman. I asked what was up, and he said it was his ex. I left. I looked him up after, and it actually was his ex…from over a year ago. To each their own, I guess? But I don't know why he thought that wouldn't make me instantly leave."
— cullens_sidepiece
8. "Not mid-hookup but rather immediately post-hookup, he stood next to my bed and said, 'It would be sooo good to hit my vape right now, ' and then made me go fill up his water bottle for him while he watched TikToks. 26-year-old man, BTW."
— AdvertisingPretty213
9. "Noticing he had a tattoo of his own name."
— singoneiknow
10. "He kissed like a guppy. Just these open-mouth, smacking noises, and trying to eat half my face. I was so repulsed. I would just power through and deal with it because we all know how it can go if you try to put the brakes on. I finally realized I didn't care. I was a grown-ass woman and wasn't going to bang some dude and hate myself just because it was 'easier.' I stopped him, told him I wasn't feeling it, and kicked him out. It was a transformative moment in my life. Since then, I've never allowed myself to be compelled into doing anything physically just because it was easier to power through than say no."
— hot_like_wasabi
11. "He talked for an hour about how much he loved his mum. He was crying, he was THAT emotional. He wanted to have sex afterwards, and it was just messed up to have sex after listening to that."
— ComprehensivePlay678
12. "This one guy looked at himself in the mirror afterwards and said, 'I'd be my own groupie,' LMAO, barf."
— kattttnippp
13. "He kept talking really corny. Oh my god, I'm cringing now, thinking of it. For instance, once my shirt/bra was off, he would act like a teenage boy and say, 'Oh, there are my friends! Friend one and friend two,' or he'd say, 'My my my! And it's not even my birthday!' It was never rude or mean in any way, but always a mood killer."
— rozetintsmyworld
14. "He said, 'You like that? You like that?' Literally every other second, back to back to back. He said it maybe 40 times before I put an end to it 🤣."
— SquirrelDisastrous2
15. "We were on the sofa, and a mirror was on the wall beside us. He kept positioning us so he could watch himself. After he was done, he said, 'I look so good when I'm f...ing.' I didn't respond and never saw him again after that."
— SpecialLady101
16. "Cat hair all over the bed. Not just a little here and there; it was CAKED in the blanket. All in the sheets. It was my first and last time there 😂."
— PinkPrincess
17. "He kept calling himself 'daddy,' even after I asked him to stop. I just can't do that."
— Xallia_Yevatell
18. "Immediately after hooking up, he excused himself because he had to do his Duolingo lesson for the day. The owl got more aftercare than I did 💀."
— Agitated-Climate5313
19. "I dated an underwear model in college for about four or five months. He wasn't the most self-aware person, but damn was he pretty. We were fooling around one night, and I noticed he had a bunch of dingleberries and smears. I immediately got the ick and asked him to shower and get cleaned up. He said, 'Oops, usually I have someone take care of that for me on photo shoots.' After that, I just couldn't take him seriously. This was a man who made his living by being naked, and he couldn't bother to clean his butt crack."
"For those who will ask: No, he did not have an odor. And I had not seen evidence of his issue on his underwear previously. This can only be explained by the fact that he had a nice round peach of an ass that would've locked any stink in. This was the first time I'd seen him where he didn't have time to shower and clean up beforehand. He had been on a plane all day, then I picked him up from the airport, we went to dinner, and then we went home."
— RosyClearwater
20. "He was way too interested in other men I had been with, and wouldn't stop asking about them. He wanted me to comment on them or compare them or something. I couldn't tell if he wanted me to talk them up and talk him down, or vice versa. Either way, it put me off quickly."
— PastelPure
21. "Every time he kissed me, he would say, 'MMM-mmm, scrumptious!' For the first couple of dates, I thought it was cute because we weren't making out. Then we hooked up, and he did it again after going down on me. 😭 I don't know what woman told him that was hot, but I broke up with him like a day later."
— crab_ragoon
22. "I put my hand under the pillow to grab the headboard, and grabbed a gun. He kept a 9mm under the pillow. I was out."
— LegitimateStar7034
23. "He asked to move the activity from his bed to his living room floor because his cat was in the bed and he didn't want to move it."
— Building_a_bus
24. "A booger came out and stayed on his moustache, and he didn't notice."
— Acrobatic_Ad_6590
25. "I had an ex who called going down on me 'giving me kisses.' I shudder every time I think about it."
— Odd_Seesaw_3451
26. "I finally saw his bedroom. He had his mattress on the floor, no furniture, and no nightstand to put my glasses and phone on. He was a 30-year-old adult at that time. I didn't realize it was his room when I first saw it (he had roommates), and I said aloud, 'Who's the serial killer sleeping on the floor?' He fessed up that it was his room, clocked the look on my face, and went to Ikea the same week to buy furniture. Good for him, honestly, but dang, first impressions are tough to overcome, you know?"
— SnooPears3006
27. "When he stopped for a half second to ask me how my family was doing. Like??? I couldn't continue. I lost my mood and asked him to take me home. He had to sit there and think about what he had done alllll the way to my place, plus allllll the way back. If this was going to stick with me, it better have stuck with him, too."
— CloudyDaze06
28. "He narrated what he was doing in the third person."
— k-boots
29. "He called me mommy, and I have to physically shake the thought away when I think of it."
— Otherwise_Anybody873
30. "I told a guy I needed more lube and he said, 'No, you don't.'"
— sophieemae
31. "Tongue all the way into my ear canal. Then the other ear. Then, when I went to shift away, the tongue went down my throat. I imagined swallowing my own earwax and could never get back into him again."
— Sea_Sugar
32. "I told him I had to go to the bathroom to take my tampon out first, and he said, 'No problem, I got it.' He then proceeds to take out my tampon and put it in a bowl on a shelf! That was forever ago, but it still haunts me sometimes 💀."
— FluoriteDaze
33. "He hit a watermelon flavored vape in the middle of it all."
— trapezoid-
ABC / Via youtube.com
34. "He would stop what he was doing, lean into my ear, and aggressively whisper, 'MINE.'"
— Regular-Cucumber-209
35. And: "I hooked up with a guy at my place after a third date. It was hot, he was hot, and he was younger and exciting. He puts on his clothes to leave, and before walking out the door, he grabs a warm beer from a pack I hadn't put away after grocery shopping and then asks for a cold one 'for the road' 😦."

I, for instance, find it relaxing to lie on my stomach on the floor and do Perler bead art in my spare time. Like these owls. I'm 33 years old and have been told I'm too old for this, but it's honestly like meditation to me after work." —TheGreatMalagan 5."Whenever I move out to my own place, I'm gonna get myself a really nice wooden train set; playing with trains has always been so fun and calming to me, and I can't wait." —cryptsmas 6."Neopets! I don't have my account from my childhood, but I made a new one a few years back with the same animal Korbat (the mouse/bat) I had. It really relaxes me on my lunch break; I feed him an omelet while I eat as well. —BaeBumbleBees 7."I'm 50, and I build houses in The Sims. No shame.

It's easy, it's tasty, and I can upgrade my drink to a white wine now." —anastasiabeaverhausen 12."Video Games." —AskewdJackassery42 "I'm 45. I think my gen will be the one where more than 50% of us in nursing homes are still playing console or PC games in some fashion." —OrdrSxtySx 13."I still enjoy stepping on crunchy leaves. There's something so satisfying about the sound and the feel. It brought me so much joy as a kid, and it still does as an adult." —HeyYouErika 14."I still watch Arthur reruns! It's literally on PBS kids, but I still think it's hilarious and nostalgic." —FizzingWhizbee713 15."Sleep with my stuffed animal." —scoobiesnacksss "I'm a man in my mid-30s, and I can't see myself ever giving up my teddy bear." —Electronic-Macaroon5 16."Coloring.

Woman Finds 1962 Barbie in Thrift Store—Can't Believe The Price Tag

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Virginia woman was left stunned when she wandered into a thrift store, only to find a 1962 collector's item listed for just $10.99. For Grace Caroline, 29, thrifting has long been an exhilarating hobby, and she's found countless second-hand treasures in the past. But when she and a friend recently traveled further afield to some of the larger thrift stores in northern Virginia, she couldn't believe what she found in the Christmas decorations aisle. To her surprise, Caroline saw a vintage Barbie doll from 1962, still in her original box. It seemed too good to be true, as Caroline told Newsweek that she thought "it had to be a reproduction" at first. But as she looked closer, she realized what an amazing find this was. An original 1962 Barbie that was found in a Virginia thrift store. An original 1962 Barbie that was found in a Virginia thrift store. u/mewisme700 / Reddit "I just thought, there's no way this collector's item was just sitting out," Caroline said. She continued: "She is still in her original box from 1962 and looks mostly untouched. She does have a case of what Barbie collectors call green ear, where the original metal earrings she once wore oxidized into the vinyl of the face. She is missing her hand tag, but still luckily has the original booklet with her, still sealed." Caroline didn't hesitate to buy the Barbie, especially as it cost just $10.99. Indeed, the packaging even has the original sticker with the price on, showing that the doll was once sold for $2. When adjusted for inflation, this equates to around $21 in 2025. Although Caroline isn't a Barbie collector, she is a Pokémon collector and certainly knows the value of an original item. "Once the doll was confirmed not to be a reproduction, I immediately recognized the significance of this Barbie as one of the first releases. I wanted to ensure that it was saved from the thrift to be in the hands of a Barbie collector where it can be cherished and appreciated after 63 years in storage," Caroline told Newsweek. She shared her discovery in a Reddit post (posting as user u/mewisme700), and it's gone viral with over 12,000 votes and 270 comments in a matter of days. Amy McKune, a curator at the National Museum of Toys and Miniatures, believes that it's an amazing find, made even better by the near pristine condition it's been kept in. McKune told Newsweek: "She does appear to be in her original box, wearing her original swimsuit and red sandals. Often the thin strap on the tops of those sandals has split as the plastic has aged. I can't see her ears to know if she still has her original earrings. The pearl earrings often have left an area of green discoloration around the ears." It appears to be a #6 Barbie, introduced in 1962, McKune says. She noted that the #6 model was the first doll to wear the famous red swimsuit, with earlier versions sporting a black and white striped one instead. "Isn't it amazing that after only three years, Mattel had introduced six models? The model number on one end of the box (Model 850) was used for all of the Ponytail Barbie dolls," McKune continued.

In fact, many didn't even believe that it could be real. Caroline said: "I have a lot of people calling it staged because thrift stores have become very adamant in making sure the good stuff goes behind the counter. But with the sheer amount of daily donations thrift stores get because of our hyper-consumeristic lifestyle, it doesn't surprise me that gems like this do slip past thrift employees." Among the hundreds of comments on the post, many Reddit users were amazed by the iconic vintage Barbie. One comment reads: "That's an impossible find! I'm so jealous!" Another Reddit user wrote: "Amazing find. Never even seen one in the original box!" While another person replied: "This is awesome! Think of all the hands it went through at the thrift store and nobody there thought enough to grab it. Congratulations!" Do you have any amazing thrifting finds that you want to share?
