Description

The ultimate compendium of cringe-worthy dating interactions, from the creators of @SumbitYourIck on Instagram.

You’ve felt it before: that moment when a potential romantic partner does or says something that immediately becomes an instant turnoff. When that happens, you’ve caught “the ick.”

You’re not alone. The Ick-tionary is an A-Z of over 175 real-life cases of some of the most attraction-killing behavior out there.

Prime offenders include:

- a guy who doesn’t believe in brushing his teeth.
- a guy who golf claps after a good hook up.
- a girl who owns thirty stuffed animals and kisses every single one of them goodnight before she goes to sleep.
- a guy who lets his dog lick his head.

And many more!

Based on the popular Instagram, @SubmitYourIck and featuring fan-favorite submissions and new entries you’ll wish you could unsee, The Ick-tionary is a dictionary of dating rock bottoms, turning the internet’s most unromantic romantic confessions into the best type of second hand embarrassment.
