repulsion arc 

When you have an ex situationship/relationship/crush that ends. So you no longer are blinded and finally see the red flags. But now every small thing they do gives you the ick and even if they do everything you want them to do you no longer can see yourself dating them.
Friend: I used to like him so much but now everytime he asks me to hang out with him I just don’t want to.

Me: oh lol so you’re having your repulsion arc?
Friend: I guess, yes

arousal repulsion cycling 

What a man feels when he is alternately extremely attracted to a particular woman's unimaginably hot body but also completely disgusted by her unimaginably ugly face. This generally produces disorientation in the first few episodes but can sometimes later reshape sexual attraction as the ugly face becomes a fetish of sorts.
"Hey Jake, check out the smoking hot babe walking down the beach."

"That one walking away?"

"Oh yeah I am going to go meet her right now!"

(Moments later) "Hey baby. my name's Tony." (She turns around and Tony almost throws up. She walks away only to appear smoking hot again. The arousal repulsion cycling continues on like this all day long.)

attraction-repulsion syndrome 

An unexpected about-face of feelings resulting in being repulsed by someone you had initially been attracted to.
You start seeing someone you had been crushing on, only to then start feeling creeped out by him/her when he/she actually starts liking you way more than you like them; classic attraction-repulsion syndrome.

Sudden Repulsion Syndrome (SRS) 

A condition many people experience after dating an individual for a short amount of time. The individual is probably polite, nice, and generally pleasant to be around, but one day, you suddenly find yourself disgusted by his or her appearance. You cannot ever see yourself establishing a physical relationship with this individual, and when you imagine it, you vomit in your mouth a little. The consequence of SRS is that you end up feeling as though you must break it off immediately.
"Hey girl, how are things going with that guy you were seeing?!"
"Ugh. Things were great until he had a booger one day and I experienced a sudden case of Sudden Repulsion Syndrome (SRS). I had to dump him immediately."
"Man, I hate SRS!"

Mutual Repulsion 

The way two or more people feel when they see or meet one another for the first time and feel repulsed by the way the other person looks, thinks (based on what they say and how they say it), acts, smells, sits, stands, walks, or runs.
From the day they met, Karen and Jose felt a mutual repulsion.
