The Love U Podcast with Evan Marc Katz

The Truth About The Ick
Sometimes, attraction disappears in an instant—but is the ick a real dealbreaker or just a reflex? In this episode of the Love U Podcast, I break down why women experience the ick more than men, the psychology behind these sudden turn-offs, and whether they’re actually keeping you from a great relationship. From minor quirks to social conditioning, I explore what triggers the ick, why genuine interest is often mistaken for a turn-off, and how to distinguish between superficial dealbreakers and true incompatibilities. If you’ve ever lost attraction for someone over something small, this episode will help you rethink what really matters in love.
