But whatever it is, we all *definitely* have some of our own icks that we've acquired over the years. So, if you're a woman on dating apps, we want to know what your biggest icks are! Maybe you absolutely hate it when a guy poses with a fish...

Maybe your blood boils when the person you've matched with literally never asks you ONE question...

Or maybe they used the word "females" instead of "women" in their profile and your spidey senses told you to swipe left.

  • "My mom put my brothers and I on a 'husbands in training' course"

    A man says his mom put him and his brothers through a 'husbands in training' course aged eight to make them better partners. Douglas Weaver, 36, and his two brothers would arrive home from school to find their mom, Nana Mickey, sitting and waiting to question them about what they learned. While they were in lessons, Douglas' mom would listen to the radio and read books to be as informed as she could for when her two children returned home from school. She set about teaching her boys how to be good partner - putting them through a 'husbands in training' course she devised herself. They would learn everything from healthy communication skills, etiquette, consent and all about the porn industry. Douglas has been married to his wife, Kristen Weaver, 36, for 16 years and said that his mom's teachings shaped him into the person he is today. Douglas, an artist and educator, from St Louis, Missouri, US, said: "The thing I remember the most was when my mom taught us about the way you speak to and about your significant other in different group settings. "How you talk about them in front of your family, their family or your group of friends and how you speak about them when they are there or not. "Making sure that the way you speak to them and about them is respectable and make sure you don't say anything that tears them down." When Douglas and his brothers were at school, their mom would plan what she planned to educate them on. Douglas said: "When we got home from school and we were eating dinner, we would talk about what was going on in the world that day. "It became more formal and she wanted us to know what it was like being an adult, being in a relationship and how to maintain and grow a healthy relationship." Douglas' mom decided to put her children through a 'husbands in training' course where they would learn everything from etiquette skills to the exploitation of women. He said conversations were uncomfortable at times but their mom made the home a "comfortable environment" to have the conversations in.

  • 'Grandma, protect yourself': the Kenyan women fighting femicide

    STORY: A surge in violence against women in Kenya has spurred many to learn to fight back.At least 97 women across Kenya were killed in femicides between August and October of last year, according to police figures. Members of this class, in the Korogocho neighborhood of Nairobi, refer to themselves as "Cucu Jukinge," meaning "Grandma, protect yourself" in Swahili. Eighty-one-year-old Beatrice Mungai:"They were capturing old women here in Korogocho, they raped them, killed them, and threw them in the river. Let us say God is great because we got a helper called Jake from America, with his wife. When he heard this history he told us to come together and he would teach us how to defend ourselves. So we brought together many women, and he used to train us at the chief's office. He trained us for six months."The course was started nearly 25 years ago by an American couple working with local residents after the rapes in Korogocho, which is poor and plagued by crime. Activists said the growing number of femicides is felt across Kenya's impoverished informal settlements. Inside a church, Mary Wainaina practises punches with other women.She used her self-defense skills to fend off a man who tried to rape her a few years ago. "He told me to lie down, I did not refuse, I lay down. He then knew I was ready and he started undressing, I was still lying down. When he was now attempting to rape me, I grabbed his private parts with all my strength, and twisted it, and he started screaming. Those who were close heard the screams and asked what was going on as they had seen me going in that direction. They asked why that man had followed me. I wasn't even the one screaming. When people came, they caught him as he was, and started beating him up, and that's how I was saved."Gender-based violence has long been a major problem because of patriarchal views, socioeconomic inequalities and insufficient legal protections, researchers say. Kenyan law does not criminalize spousal rape, which means it can only be punished under laws covering non-sexual assaults.Activists say Kenyan police routinely fail to respond to complaints.For now, the Cucu Jukinge say they can only count on themselves.
