No one should lower their standards, but they should also understand if they cut out a certain portion of the dating population it's going to be harder to meet someone.

That sounds like a small sample size to me.

You know you are a very, very negative person seriously, it seems that if you don't find someone attractive you can't even afford them the common decency and respect as a human being just because you don't find them attractive and nothing else. And you wonder why the type of guys you go for aren't interested in you?

And the sad thing about it is you keep talking about men who repulse you. It seems as if you tear these guys down to make your self feel better about your own shortcomings. Secure people have no need to talk constantly about people they don't like. Maybe if you stop focusing on the men that repulse you and be more positive in general you may attract the type of guys you want.

I got contacted by many guys but most were not guys I wanted: dads, obese, much older, unambitious (a 50 year old fast food cook and me wouldn't be a match).

I am not rude to anyone I just don't want to date men who I am not physically attracted to, The man I like isn't conventionally handsome, is short and a bit chubby and this is okay because I like him as a person as well.

Not being attracted to someone isn't the same as finding someone repulsive. Using terms like repulsive indicates having a certain level of disdain or contempt for someone.

Gross -usually used to describe fecal matter that one accidentally steps on.
Repulse - see above
Disgusting - see above

Nice, real nice to describe a person that you are not attracted you. Your choice of words speaks volumes about you.

I'm just being honest and saying that type does repulse me. I wouldn't say it to their face but instead politely say no.

And why do they repulse you, Did some fat guy or single dad insult you personally, did they physically assault you?

Not saying you shouldn't have preferences and standards but hey when you use words like repulsive to describe people you're not attractive to you need to understand that it makes you look like a shrew. And the guys you do want are going to pick up on that.
