Good.

I find the concept of "getting the ick" (a sudden lack of attraction towards somebody you were previously attracted to) outside of a sexual or romantic situation to be kinda insulting. Your partner shouldn't have to try to be sexually/romantically attractive at all times.

I think pressuring people into maintaining this unachievable goal in fear of their relationship ending if they stop being sexy for just a moment is only going to cause more heartbreak and resentment.

I am using gender neutral language here because it does apply to everyone. But I'll be dishonest if I didn't also point out that it affects women a whole lot more. It even affects women who aren't in a romantic relationship nor seek one.

The Hygiene Red Flag 🚩🧼

We’ve all experienced that moment of pure, unfiltered betrayal. You’re sitting there, the house is quiet, and you hear the distinct flush of the toilet… followed by absolutely nothing. No water running, no soap dispenser clicking, just straight back to the living room. 🤢 It’s the kind of silence that speaks volumes. Suddenly, every door handle, remote control, and shared snack in the house feels like a biohazard. Whether it’s a roommate, a guest, or a literal stranger, the "flush-and-dash" is the ultimate ick. We're in 2026, people—wash your hands like your reputation depends on it (because it does). 🧼✨🧴

Reblog if you’ve ever given someone this exact side-eye and follow for more relatable lifestyle moods.

Nothing like researching a new topic and finding new words and phrases that give you the "ick".

Looking at you "business ecosystem" and "natural monopoly".
