A polite no?
So as I’m here looking for an IE lots of people spring up that I’m not physically attracted too, how do you let that person down without sounding horrible and blunt?
I’m a nice person and I find telling people you’re not my type really offensive so I end up ghosting them which is also bad but how else can I say it?

To the OP:
If you're privileged to be in a position where you have the luxury of turning people down, then have the maturity to be polite and say so. Ghosting is never acceptable.
We're all here knowing that we will come across those that may not find us desirable so it's not a big shock to hear it - but I'm sure everyone would rather know for certain than be left to wonder.

"Absolutely agree... But I guarantee that a desperate guy with high standards will shag pretty much anything that opens their legs, ..."
I can't agree with this. Even in my younger days I wouldn't shag someone I didn't find attractive. And you're not really describing a guy with high standards I'd say.š
Now I want a connection too. Interesting conversation and definitely humour.
Does that make me picky? If it does, I'm ok with that. No point in being on here for crap or soulless sex š

Politeness costs nothing. 'Sorry but you're not my type, but good luck with your search.' or something similar is all that's needed.
Let's be honest there's only a small proportion of people you meet in your life who you're attracted to. You just need to find one but no excuse for being rude to people you don't fancy along that journey.

Unfortunately... I donāt think there is any other way than being honest , but in a nice way .
I just say ā your a nice guy but not my type , take care & good luckā
Which is more or less what Iāve had back too šš¤£
Manners cost nothing

āWhat attracted you to the millionaire Paul Danielsā comes to mind when Debbie Magee was asked by the legendary Mrs Merton.
Now they had many happy years together which probably would never had happened had Debbie just looked at his picture - and didnāt know of his wealth!
Chatting to someone, it going well and then basing on a photo alone whether to take it further is quiet shallow IMHO.
As others have said, far more eloquently, having an IE is a lot more than just looks. But hey ho, we are all different.
Iāve had several affairs with ladies of differing physical appeal. The overriding common denominator is that they were all great fun to be with.

Oh and some people photograph really well , but donāt quite look so good in reality , and some people photography not so well and look way better in person , so to discount someone on a flat pic straight away , is very short sighted , that said the old , can I sleep with that face is ultimately what it boils down to

Sexy lady- The dating game is brutal.
I had a date with a woman (whoād cancelled on me once but told me she still wanted to meet. So I confirmed the day before just in case, I prepared a dinner, spring cleaned my house and 5 minutes before she was to show I got a lame text saying āSorry Iāve just woken up.. youāll probably be annoyed... but I had a late night last night!
No apology, just a tw@ message. Oh and just a couple of days earlier she said āIāve met my perfect matchā....
Bunny boiler...
