Is It an Ick? Checker

What it doesAn ick is a small thing that suddenly puts you off someone, and it is usually about taste rather than character. A red flag is different: it is about how someone treats people. Pick a behaviour below and the checker tells you which one it is likely to be.

How to get the most out of it

Icks are personal and often silly, which is why people love sharing them. Red flags are about respect, honesty and safety, and they deserve to be taken seriously.

If a behaviour makes you feel unsafe or controlled, that is not an ick. Talk to someone you trust and use the block and report tools on any app.

Use the checker for fun and for a quick sense check, not as a rule for who you should date.

Questions

What is an ick?

A sudden, often small and irrational feeling of being put off by someone you were attracted to.

What is the difference between an ick and a red flag?

An ick is about taste. A red flag is about behaviour that is disrespectful, dishonest or unsafe.

Is it an ick if my date is rude to staff?

That is a red flag more than an ick, because it shows how they treat people.

Is this scientific?

No. It is a light-hearted tool built from common opinions, not research.
