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?

I'm liking alot of friendly females on here,although I haven't joined as yet I'm sure I'm in for a great time

I don't feel ghosting is the answer. If I feel that somebody isn't for me, I let them know by just saying 'you're not for me' or, 'you have a nice smile, but I donthink we're suited'. Something along those lines, and always with a good luck k in your search or best wishes in your search to finish it off. Plus a šŸ˜€, too.

I used to get pretty upset at not getting responses to messages but now Iā€™ve given up getting riled up.

People have differing reasons as to why they donā€™t reply. One woman told me that she didnā€™t want to upset me with a rejection so thought saying nothing would be the kinder of two evils. Another was working under the assumption that men paid to see messages so not answering was a way of saving me money!

At the end of the day, people have the choice as to how they interact and we as the respondents have to respect that. If thereā€™s no reply, the other party clearly doesnā€™t want the conversation to carry on, so all you can do is accept it and walk on.

People donā€™t get offended ā€¦they choose to be offended

No harm in being honest, if you are nice about it and people take offence thatā€™s their issue
Oneā€™ persons attraction is anotherā€™s ā€œnot my typeā€ thatā€™s normal
A lot of people tell me Iā€™m attractive but also many think Iā€™m not. Thatā€™s life

Ghosting seems to be the easiest option although I would prefer a reason. Itā€™s a very British thing to not say it as it is - polite but unhelpful !!

I think everyone get offended easily in these daysšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

If someone is offended by a polite, ā€˜no thanksā€™ then thatā€™s not the fault or responsibility of the sender. If they are offended by ghosting, then it is :)

I'm not sure why this is a problem. It's easy to say no thanks, without being blunt. Most of us have done this all our lives. You can be friendly and just say that it's not the right time or the chemistry isn't working... although maybe rejected men become more abusive quicker than rejected women?
