An Instagrammer has shared a hilarious list of ‘universal icks’ when dating, having issued a ‘bit of a PSA’ online to find out what others thought.
Everyone has different turn-offs when it comes to dating, whether it’s a dismal taste in fashion or a tendency to be a bit of a know-it-all.
But apparently there are some ‘icks’ that are felt by many - as compiled by Australia’s self-titled 'international woman of mystery' Miss Double Bay, who shared a post about the off-putting traits on Instagram.
Claudia, who is the Sydney-based woman behind the account, told Today: " Look, it wasn't just me. Full credit to the girls for this one. I did a bit of a PSA on my Instagram asking everyone what their universal icks are.

"Look, that's what they came up with. I wouldn't say it's just the Eastern Suburbs. I think it applies to all men."
Claudia’s ‘ick list’ featured everything from ’doggy paddling’ and ‘drinking milk’ to
‘clapping when the plane lands’.

She added: "Look, there is still hope. Many women, they put some of the icks aside just for the sake of love.
"And look, if you are taller than six foot, I think you can get away with a lot of those icks."
Some of the points on the list were Sydney-specific, but others were seriously relatable:

Okay, some points are a little unfair - finding shade if it’s a hot day and waiting for the green man before crossing the road are surely just sensible?!
However, it’s hard to feel on board with Lycra, while clapping when the plane lands never feels okay...
