If the man is wealthy he has no “icks”.

Maybe there’s at least two variants of the Ick Factor: (1) Case Ed discusses in video where woman rejects a potential mate in a sudden gestalt crystallization after she’s been gradually super-saturated with a bunch of iffy signs that this guy might not be quite right evolutionary pick. (2) The 4-7 year itch after pairing up and reproducing. We think this one is baked in programming to promote genetic diversity in subsequent offspring once children can walk and talk, etc. In this case, female will have had plenty of time to have collected and filed away a bunch of her mate’s idiosyncrasies and will be able to select several to justify her actions to her female cohort (essential for reproductive reasons that she stay in good with them back in the cave).
