How many times have you been told, ''you're just not my type"?

Question

Rosexøxø · Accepted Answer

I think once ☝️ and the guy had a very specific type, that was not like mine- blue eyes; blonde hair 👱‍♀️ and so on.

I just thought okay, well I’m curvaceous because of ethnicity and food! 😂 but I am also clearly not 100% European.

I wasn’t going to change my background for him, and it wasn’t a problem at all, that he didn’t like my type. Really no offense to him, whatsoever, but he was truly shallow anyhow 😬. I considered myself lucky not to be in his … dating/ hook-up pool?🤔

Oh and probably one other guy, into redheads, but that’s not my problem either 😂. Everyone is allowed to have their preferences, and shouldn’t have to feel guilty about it, either.

Not so much told, but their actions (or lack of) said the same thing-

By that I mean friendzoned, ghosted, or they made up an excuse as to why I wasn't right for them. People nowadays are so scared of offending or getting other people upset with the truth, it's very rare for someone to candidly say, "You're not my type." Instead, they reject you "nicely" or stop talking to you... that's how you know you're not someone's type.

So if we go by those metrics of how many times I haven't been someone's type: LOTS. Like enough rejections to write a short book about how to know when you're not someone's type, lol

Guess what? Everyone is r someone’s type. It is what it is. Not everyone is going to be into you. Not everyone is going to like you point blank

Avicenna · Accepted Answer

Not in those exact words. It’s usually obvious though.

meetkitty123 · Answer

It has happened to me once or twice or maybe three and there's nothing you can do about that if a person isn't attracted to you then they're not attracted to you it has nothing to do with you personally and you shouldn't take it personally everybody has what they like and what they dislike.

It's a matter of opinion and you should just move on because where there is one person who's not interested in you there will certainly be someone else who is. It's important to understand that attraction cannot be forced it either happens or it doesn't and that's not a reflection on the other person who was turned down.

LovingLoverReturned · Answer

Who says that? Not even me.

But actually sometimes guys who weren't my complete type or I wasn't the complete type of- gave each other chances. We were partially the type of course. A type shouldn't be a shallow description... it is complex... at least in healthy situations

melanieeeB · Answer

A couple of times, had met many guys who loved blondes or didn't liked the height difference or just that we didn't fit as people with each other or didn't like me as a person 🤷🏽‍♀️ ... that is something so damn normal! You can't be everyones type, the same as every single person won't like you, it's impossible

Screenwriter · Answer

I think most people can find attributes they like in practically anyone. You've got to be a dirty, lazy, non-bathing, idiot to  not be most  people's type!

Lalalove11 · Answer

I've been told 'I'm not in the place to pursue anything more rn'. To me it felt similar, it was friend zoning. My first time being rejected and it brought up a lot of insecurities but it's true, not everyone is going to like you 💕

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Never, but I've said it to way too many women, more than I can count or remember at this point. I only seem to get the attention of women who are not my type, and I can't find one who is to even get the chance to be rejected or accepted.

Effably · Answer

Twice or never. I am picking the never pile because both times I was told so it was not a lack of interest but a lack of expected synergy. Which, to little surprise, does not matter much for trying.

TrueConfection · Answer

Never in words because I've never approached a guy. I have been interested in a guys that didn't seem interested back, so yes in actions.

Anonymous · Answer

When I was single I had a few guys come up to me and say that out of the blue, then they'd precede to watch me the rest of the night. Think it's a dating tactic, I'm supposed to pursue them

LittleSally · Answer

Never. The only rejection I had was when a person had a SO already, but I didn't know.

A few times. It's been because of my attitude mostly. Which is fine; I can't please everyone

Hallix26 · Answer

I can only recall one time when an ex of mine said she showed me to her friend who said 'yea he's cute but not my type'. But hey, I was still objectively cute so I took it.

CuriousMufuxka · Answer

Well never, but heard much shorter responses like No! Go away! and...

stoicity · Answer

Depends what age that person is at what they are going through. Take it and move on, it's not a rejection it's a humble denial for you to seek better than them.
