Well, someone can be "not your type" for a host of different reasons. Yes, it has to do with attraction, but not necessarily physical attraction (i.e. he might not be your type based on his personality or his attitude as well).
I would say someone is "not my type" because I don't see a need to insult someone by saying they're ugly (if physical attraction is why they're not my type) or because I don't think it's necessary to list all the reasons why I'm not interested in someone.
When I'm not attracted to a guy, ill say his not my type, but not trying to sound allbitchy but I do have a preference, that I tend to say within. So its just a nie way for girls to say his not what she likes, cause calling a girl ugly sounds a bit rude compared to saying she's not my type : )
They don't find them attractive or they are boring or they find that they aren't good enough for them
Prob what you said about him being ugly and such.
Because if they don't actually know the guy, Talked to him or have ever met him then they are judging him based on his looks/attitude. the same thing men get chewed out for doing all the time.
I don't agree! Guys also go for certain types of girls.

Unlike many men, we don't look at something as attractive/unattractive. We don't look to breed. We look to find someone to build an emotional connection to, and since all people are different, it takes a certain type of person to match your own sense of self and thus we don't see guys as "I'd hit that or no". We say they're not our type if we can see the merits in them, but just don't find them to our personal specifications.
It means he's not the type of guy I usually go for, even though he might be good-looking or interesting or whatever, and I can see how my friend or someone else might like him. I'm just not interested because I don't think we'd get along.
it's just their "nice" way of saying "you're too ugly for me" same with "i wish i could find a guy like you"
I know this question is old but why call a guy ugly or boring when that's only my opinion of him? Therefore, "he's not my type":)
Well it kind of depends. Some girls say that to be nice when they don't like the guy physically or overall. Or the more used reason is that she doesn't like his personality. This depends on the type of girl you are talking to.
superficial judging... not much else
it means the question isn't there
