Common Dating 'Icks'

• 🤳 Selfies, particularly mirror selfies with fish, are a major turn-off, with a general sentiment that men shouldn't take selfies.
• 🧸 An unexpected "ick" mentioned is seeing a man "all snuggled up in a blankie," evoking an image of a lack of self-sufficiency.

• 💖 Love bombing was also identified as a significant "ick" for one of the cast members.
• 💅 Concerns about hand hygiene and manicures were raised, with dirty nails being a major red flag.

'Icks' Within the Pods

• 🗣️ Within the context of the show, a significant "ick" is a partner who doesn't ask questions about you and only talks about themselves.
• 👂 Voice pitch was also a consideration, though some participants tried to look past it to focus on the conversation's content.
• 💬 The inability to imagine enjoying intimate moments due to a partner's conversational style was a concern, questioning if a bad normal conversation would translate to a good bedroom experience.

Host and Guest 'Icks'

• 🤢 The host, Bob, shared his "icks," emphasizing hygiene as paramount, specifically mentioning "stank breath" and poor dental hygiene (plaque).
• 🦷 Poor dental health, including plaque, was deemed "too jacked" and a sign of not taking care of oneself.
