Stylist's Billie Bhatia tackles The Ick – and how to get over it
with some girlfriends, and one night we spent the majority of dinner listing all the icks that made our toes curl. The hilarity of the evening was partly down to recalling some of the situations we had found ourselves in when these icks became apparent and partly down to how ridiculous some of these icks were.
“I know it’s ridiculous but the sight of a guy in light blue jeans and black shoes makes me nauseous”Ask Billie: “A few friends have recently said that I’m ‘a lot’. Should I be less?”, as we discovered over this dinner, is that thanks to social media’s obsessions with them, they have blurred into one and the same thing. In the most traditional sense of the phrase, icks represent the opposite of attraction.
What I am digging into here is whether the hurdles you are hitting at the six-month mark of relationships are simply highlighting your preferences or are they flagging something more serious. And I ask this because we are both women in our 30s, so we have come to know what we like and what we don’t like. Which has its positives and negatives. The positive is that we are direct and decisive.
