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 flat cap, the way they chew, or how 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.
This episode comes from our science friends at All in the Mind.
