But most of the time it’s used in the context of physical appereance especially when you don’t really know the person.

I can respect it.

Most times both parties know that you're not her type but she's passive aggressive and things don't end well. A real man should already know that he is not said woman's type but that is another conversation for another day.

Well I was mostly talking about people who don't already know each other, but this is interesting. What do you mean by 'passive aggressive'? Do you mean that she's indirect and/or being a tease?

Some will take whatever attention they'll get as long as you're willing to give it to them, which is human behavior to some extent, but is wrong when you know what that man's intentions truly are (woman usually knows before a man knows his own intentions). Men hang around for entirely too long, then want to cry about being in the friend zone. Stop it. No one is your friend; you want to think you're her friend and use that to justify your continued existence.

There are some rare situations when neither party really knows what he or she is doing, because neither are committed to anyone else and have nothing better to do with their time. That isn't what I'm talking about here.

Sometimes?

If you don't even know what you mean by "type," then they won't either, which will make them ask questions.

Maybe you should practice saying, "I don't like how you look."

Alright, I'll meet you half way here and just answer "Different" if they ask what my type is.

My point is ... if you say no, no matter how you say it, and they continue to ask you why not, why would you even engage more with them?

At that point - Block.

Sorry...how does "a real man" determine a woman's type? Love to hear this.
