But you almost like lost respect or can't see the guy in the same way anymore.

And that turnoff factor in that moment that was a surprise to you, that would be the ick.

Yeah, it is interesting.

And I was reading some background articles about this.

And guys, I'll link the articles in the description for this episode, too, so that if you're interested in learning more and reading more, then you can check out those articles.

But I'm going to pull up one here, Anna, and I wanted just to read a section from it.

And the article was saying that a lot of the times the ick is subconscious and evolutionary.

So it gave the example of a couple on a date and suddenly, you know, the date was going fine.

Maybe this was like the third or fourth date.

So it wasn't a first impression, but maybe on one of the third or fourth dates.

The guy had chapped lips and then suddenly the chapped lips were like the ick.

The woman saw the chapped lips and she maybe subconsciously in that moment thought that, oh, maybe this guy isn't so healthy or maybe he doesn't take good care of himself.

And that could be a kind of evolutionary signal that perhaps.

You know, he won't have a long life.

If this guy can't take care of his hydration to have like properly hydrated lips, then maybe he can't take care of himself in other situations.

And that could eventually lead to like dying early, right?

Or it gave the example of a guy who, I don't know, let's change it to a woman.

I'm picking too much on guys.

I'll switch to a woman.

A date who claps when a plane lands.
