Can a guy find you attractive or really hot/beautiful but you not be his type so he's not interested in dating you? If so, what is the thought process behind that? And if you ARE a guy's physical type, does that not necessarily mean he would be interested in you?
Yes.
For example, recently a girl was really into me. She was attractive physically and a great girl, but I’m really into Latin women and she’s a European blonde girl. A very good looking girl by any standard, just not exactly what I’m the most attracted to.
I talked to her for a short time, but I missed what I AM really into: Latin culture, a girl who sounds sexy speaking Spanish (the girl was British and didn’t know Spanish at all), the black wavy hair and tan complexion, etc.
I ended things and now am dating a Latina and I’m happy! So it was nothing against the white girl; she was great, just wasn’t what I’m most attracted to.
Also, yes a girl can be my type physically and me not be interested. For example, if she’s stuck up or something because I don’t like that.
Most guys don’t have a type, we have physical preferences but all can be over come with the right amount of tension, bluntness, personality and humor

Where I work there's this girl that is a wonder of nature: Middle Eastern, tanned skin, she has a smoking hot body and her eyes are so expressive that she can literally kiss with them, I never saw before anything like that (I consider myself privileged for having received a couple of those).
Would I date her in the remote eventuality she was into me? Well, I'd be very hesitant because I think our lifestyles are too much different. I wouldn't see a successful relationship ahead. So yes, I can say I find her very attractive but also she's not my type.
I met 2 beautiful women at work who were attracted to me in the past few months and didn't pursue either. Both were like 20 years younger than me, I'm not sure what they were thinking haha. One was a total drunkard and the other was a coke head. I had some very meaningful conversations about life with both, but I don't need the problems of dealing with drunks and coke heads at my age. One sat in my lap, kissed me 10 times and then went and puked in the bathroom and left. The other was alternating between clinging to me like a koala or digging around in her purse for her coke.
Yes. Absolutely. As an example, I tend to have a very narrow bandwidth on what I find to be my type of attractive woman. I can see another woman as very beautiful - I’d be happy for my pal if he was with her - but she’s simply not what I’m interested in. For example I’m not really into all ethnicities. I have a preference which I’m pretty much stuck on.
Yes, he can. For example, I don't date believers, whether it's religion, astrology, "alternative medicine" or anything else unsupported by evidence. A woman's physical beauty wouldn't change that.
Yes, super hot/cute women are easy to find, but one that shares my interests, hobbies, views, lifestyle, talents, etc, is very rare.
Physical attraction is required, but by itself just isn't enough.
Absolutely. Many times, I'll look at a woman that most people would say is extremely appealing, and there's just no "sizzle" about her for me.
Most of the preferences that men have developed early and I would not be able to explain any of it. I just have looks that I like and some that I don't. My best friend is the tall blond type for women he is attracted to. I don't see that as my thing.
Absolutely, but types are also overrated and not absolute. You can be into busty brunettes and still crush out on a flat redhead…
Yes, you might be into a lot of things that he might consider bad.
Yes. You can appreciate something without it being you're sort of thing
All the time. She's got to be a lot more than just attractive.
Obviously. She can be a 10 but its a no go if she can't tolerate my dog.
Yep. If he says “you’re attractive”
Yes.
