Listen "The ick: dating, disgust and evolutionary psychology"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever experienced "the ick"?It's that sudden, visceral feeling of being put off by someone you're dating. Maybe it's their hat, a hobby or even the way they laugh.Stories of the ick are prolific online, but it leaves us with a question - what causes it? To separate red flags from disgust, we get into the psychology of the ick - why you might feel icky, if it should be a deal breaker, and what it says about your own attachment style.If you want to hear more about dating and psychology, check out our episode The false promise of love languages.
