Feeling a sense of discomfort or annoyance when someone who is not your type hits on you is not uncommon. It's important to remember that attraction is subjective and personal, and it's okay to have preferences. However, it's essential to handle these situations with respect and understanding.

Here are a few things to consider:

Respect Their Intentions: When someone expresses interest in you, they're often just trying to connect or express their attraction. It's important to respond in a polite and respectful manner, even if you're not interested.
Set Boundaries: If you're uncomfortable with someone's advances, it's okay to politely let them know that you're not interested. Being direct but kind can help avoid misunderstandings.
Self-Reflection: If you find yourself feeling angry in these situations, it might be helpful to reflect on why you're feeling that way. Are there specific triggers or past experiences that are contributing to this reaction? Understanding your emotions can help you manage them better.
Empathy: Put yourself in the other person's shoes. Rejection can be tough, and it's important to treat others the way you would want to be treated if the roles were reversed.
Practice Patience: Remember that interactions with others can be valuable learning experiences. Even if someone isn't your type, they might still have interesting stories or perspectives to share.
Focus on Your Reactions: It's natural to have emotional reactions, but it's also an opportunity to practice emotional regulation. Learning to manage your emotions in various social situations can be beneficial in the long run.
Ultimately, it's important to be kind, respectful, and considerate of others' feelings while also maintaining your own boundaries and comfort..

Why are you upset.. hopefully not at the men. It’s not their fault if they find someone attractive. That’s the same way if you found someone attractive and they didn’t feel the same about you… would you want them to be like yuck omg.. why do she like me.. she’s so not my type. I hope that’s not your take on people who likes you. You don’t have to give them the time of day.. but please do not be rude to them or feel disgusted. Count your blessings and move on.

I feel the same way. For some reason I always attract the most violent men. I don't know if they are cocky or something and think they get away with being creepily flirty but its annoying. A few weeks ago I got hit on and literally cried on the way home cause of how disgusting the guy came off

It just shows that you’re sick of getting unwanted attention. It’s not abnormal. It would only “not” be normal if you displayed some sort of angry outburst towards those men. If you just keep going about your day or politely decline then I think it’s okay.

A lot of males try to spread their wings like peacocks and make mating calls before trying to have a proper dialogue. So, in this process, they don't analyze your character and think about whether you match up or not..

that's... weird. why angry? that's more of an uncomfortable feeling than an angry feeling. is it because no guy ever hits on you that you're into? and you're getting sick of it? may need some therapy for that one.

Me too actually. Like id look at my DM and yes I am attractive, see men who I’m just like, what the f*ck do I attract. Now I started looking super unapproachable and mean and while those men don’t approach me, no man approaches me whatsoever lol

Normal in the sense that I'm sure a lot of women your age feel that way.

You seem shallow.. You know no one forced you to go out with them.. How are they supposed to know they're not type?

If people find you attractive, it's a compliment duh. Let's see when you're 40 and no one's hitting on you 😂

DummyThiccFeraligatr · Answer

Being frustrated about it is normal. If you're *angry* that typical dudes are making passes at you, then you're probably arrogant / narcissistic.

Some people would love to get a bit of attention every now and then.

inhua · Answer

this would be totally unacceptable if you were a guy

DarkLegacy · Answer

No it isn't, it shows you are judgmental, shallow, entitled, arrogant, conceited and an awful person. You should not be rejecting men because of their looks at all.

spartan55 · Answer

How about if no men hit on you, would that work better for you? The entitlement is real...

NamerOfStars · Answer

Sadly. It's not reasonable or logical, though.

Anonymous · Answer

It's normal, yeah, but not logical. You're mad someone gave you a compliment. Like, we all do it, myself included, but it's pretty weird when you think about it.

What type of men hit on you? If they are a bit chubby and have round faces i feel your pain

DextroShade · Answer

No, something is wrong with you. A guy who approaches you isn't going to already know if he's your type or not.

Anonymous · Answer

Women like this will make men stop hitting on women (they don't know what your type is) and then you'll be crying about how men don't pay attention to you.
