“The ick,” a term popularized by Generation Z, refers to a feeling of revulsion that suddenly develops toward a romantic interest. The Onion asked men to try to guess what makes women feel this way, and this is what they said.
Vic Mohn, Handyman “I’m not sure. I don’t actually read the police reports.” Scott Green, Lawyer “I am starting to suspect that suing them on the first date is not as charming as I thought.” Travis Carpenter, Delivery Driver “Because feminism has brainwashed women into expecting men to bathe regularly.” Tony Figueroa, Carpenter “It’s either that I slurp spaghetti or grope kids.
” David Goolsby, Lab Accessioner “I’m just glad we’ve found a way to make ‘It’s just not a good fit’ sound meaner.” Jon Hersch, Bus Driver “I guess because my Borat impression isn’t accurate enough.” Ralph Gunderson, Accountant “My parents doomed me to this fate the second they named me Ralph.” Duncan Breesome, Kindergartner “I understand that shouting ‘Olly olly oxen free!’ at the end of hide-and-seek is super cringe to them.
