lyfedep22 Westville, IN age: 22	I'm sure you have all heard (and some, probably said) the phrase before: "I'm sorry, you're just not my type" or "He's not my type". What does this say? 1. It says that you are judging someone by their looks. This is plain and simple...it's just like saying "you can't judge a book by it's cover". In other words, if there were more people out there that would give someone a chance instead of just looking at them and say "Oh, he's not my type". It's like saying "that book's title has the word "sex" in it, so I'm not going to read it." You might have missed out on a really good read. 2. If you have met the person...in person...and said they are not your type after just the first date, that puts you guilty of all the above, with an additional charge of judging by a first impression. If you are an extremely picky person that always strives for the perfect 10, you are less likely to find that special person. All I'm saying is that everyone in this world deserves a chance, and if you don't give that chance, you could miss out on meeting great people. I was always told that people that think highly of themselves turn out like real pricks/b*tches in the end, and those that are willing to lower their standards a little bit and give that chance are more likely to treat you good. So now I ask: What do you think? As everyone is entitled to a chance, everyone is also entitled to an opinion. Have a nice day.

alicekathleen Fresno, CA age: 63	HI to Indiana, yes, I have heard that. I cared deeply for a man who told me that because of my "hair" (not long) and body type (not big enough bosoms) I was not his "type". So he dumped me for a woman who had both those qualities, only to find that she was not good-hearted. Now, two years later, he is calling me again. We had a discussion about "type" and he said that he had learned that a "heart of gold" is more important than long hair. We all get stuck on certain traits, and as you say, best to try to get unstuck! I sometimes wonder if many people are not trying to replace a love that did not pan out with someone who looks/acts the same way as the former partner, etc.

bigsilverwolf Phoenix, AZ age: 50	In my rather long expierance, women are far more shallow than men. (Notice that I said men, rather than boys...) I once dated a really fun gal who I had a lot in common with who was always telling me how much she liked the way I look and how importiant that was to her. The odd part of all this was that for her to have been the best looking woman in the room, you'd have to be standing in a closet. Many of us DO read profiles, check past posts and we also look at the type of guys that you choose to have on your friends list. Try it some time...it can be an eye opening expierance, and one that can tell you a lot about someone you might be intrested in. Rather than asking questions and actully listening to what we talk about, most women do little more than look for certian key words or phrases that they can use to slip us into a catagory.

sngl4now Slippery Rock, PA age: 38	I personally think saying "You are not my type" can mean many things.You have to have attraction to a person,whether it be a persons looks,their smarts,funny,etc. I have dated many "types" of men and no 2 men are alike.You just have to give a person a chance and see what happens.

becky38socalif Joshua Tree, CA age: 38	yeah i hear that a lot .....and sorry to say ...in my younger days i often would say to myself "oh he is not my type" .....or i would assume that i wasnt the other persons type .....and would be to gunshy to try to interact i have learned over the years ..that you cant judge a book by its cover .... a good looking book ....could have a ugly story inside ..and vise versa .....a cover that doesnt appeal to you ...could be the best story you ever heard... one man's trash ..is another man's treasure

missmmeoftheday Brooklyn, NY age: 42	Point #1 is self explanatory- if someone doesn't like what they see, they'll move on. Simple fact... might be painful and suck, but simple. Point#2- if you go on a first date- at least in my experience- I have had some conversation with the person- there is a reason that I am going on this date. I am not going just cuz he asked; I'm going cuz I want to. Now, if after the first date there is no interest- he's not my type- I'm not judging him based on anything other than having spent some time in his presence and deciding he's not for me. That doesn't make him wrong or bad; just means he's not the one FOR ME. Honestly, I am more often the one who is NOT someone's type, it seems to me. Happens to everyone. For whatever reason. Some reasons may be shallow, some may be stellar. Trick is to just be the best you that you can be... and keep on moving on.

g_d77 Watertown, NY age: 30	So, according to the OP, if I dated a woman who loved country music, and I hated it, I should still go out with her? I can only use the "Not my type" line when it comes to looks? Doesn't make sense.

mstme San Antonio, TX age: 52	What if you are contacted by a shadow and then read their profile with all these musts and you fit none of them, then is it okay to say not my type? Or should one be flattered the person was willing to overlook that you did not meet his criteria and feel fortunate he e-mailed you?

bekki_08 Ridgeland, MS age: 39	When I say that a guy is not my type I am referring to the fact that he does not have the qualities that I am interested in. Generally the first few conversations and/or dates can give you a good indication of what the person is like if you pay close attention to actions and reactions. I admit that I do tend to be a little picky but that by no means indicates that I am stuck up or a b****. I'm just confident in knowing what I'm looking for and have no intentions of just "settling". When people tend to settle for what's available it increases the chances of divorce. They eventually become unhappy and resent each other. But that's just my opinion.

lobo_corazon Kingston, ON age: 39 online now!	What do I think? I think you sound like you've been burned and you're a little bitter right now. It happens to all of us, I imagine! "Not my type" doesn't have to have anything to do with appearance. My type is sunny and positive - I went on a first date a few years ago with a gal who turned out to be one of the most negative people I ever met. Definitely not my type, and it would have been silly to ask her out again.

canufi6my Lawrenceville, GA age: 59	When I get the, "not my type" reply, I just remember them as "dirt bags", "pond scum", or felt I was lucky not to catch anything from them, but write them a polite note anyway, for all I care.

lillibet New South Wales Australia age: 51	well all i can say is if I'm not your type then so be it ...somewhere out there someone is my type...I dont go by looks I go by personality who and what you are how you are ...I also dont agree with your statement about people who think highly of themselves being a**holes...I think highly of myself and i think highly of others as well and I am not going to lower my standards that is not neccessary to ask of anyone...It also does not indicate you are judging someone by their looks...If I met someone in person and we had nothing in common then no way will i lie and pretend I like him...Honesty is always the best policy.I am not looking for perfection just compatability ..we all hope to find the one who brings that special ray of sunshine into our lives..Its got nothing to do with "Sorry he/shes not my type"

katrinasq Mena, AR age: 39	For me, not my type has nothing to do with looks. A gorgeous man who is a player is not my type. A rough looking man is not my type. A country boy, while sexy as hell, is not my type. A "Biker" looking guy may or may not be my type; I'd have to know more about him. I like a clean cut looking person because they are probably the "suburban" type, maybe professional ish, like me. I do go for a handsome face, and someone with goals and most importantly, a warm heart. If you're negative, you're not my type. If you have a mean streak, like road rage or are mean to service people even a little, you're not my type. I don't think knowing the "type" of person I would or would not date makes me shallow.

I have been burned a million times, but I'm over it.
