A rebuff for unwanted sexual advances that is designed to make it clear that the speaker isn't interested in what the person they are addressing has to offer. In many cases, this Stock Phrase is used to get the addressee out of the speaker's hair, or to indicate that the character on the receiving end is too good (or not good enough) to spark their desire. A common retort may be "You have a type?", especially if the original speaker is known to be the type that Really Gets Around. Needless to say, this is quite often Played for Laughs. In some cases, though, this trope may be used to ratchet up the creepy factor when a rapist or pedophile has captured the protagonist. While the phrase spoken in this manner highlights the particular perversions of the villain in question, it can also serve as a means to relieve the audience that, while the villain may have some violent plans in mind for the hero, an on-screen sexual assault is not imminent. If the addressee doesn't take the hint, this may lead to an Unrequited Love Lasts Forever situation. If the character on the receiving end is the protagonist, it is not uncommon to have a Hooked Up Afterwards reveal later on. See Stock Phrase. Compare All Love Is Unrequited, Incompatible Orientation, and Dude, She's A Lesbian. A supertrope of Sorry, I'm Gay, in which the phrase is used as part of The Reveal that a character is gay or lesbian (whether or not said statement is actually true.) Note that if a gay or lesbian character is talking to someone of their preferred gender but they're still not interested for some other reason, the example would instead be a part of this trope. Of course for this to happen someone has to have a type in the first place. |

Used in Bleach by Szayelaporro Granz during his fight with Renji. Since the dialogue changes from the Japanese anime, English dub, or the English comics, he either says this word for word, denies being gay, or makes an ambiguous statement that could be interpreted multiple ways. In any translation, he rejects Renji after mistaking Renji's actions as flirtation. | |

In the first season of Angel, Kate's father suggests the possibility of Kate and Angel getting together. Kate responded, "He's not my type. Or I'm not his. There's definitely a type involved, and it's the wrong one." Quite probably a Stealth Pun referring to blood typing. | |

Totally Spies!: Clover has stated on numerous occasions that she is not interested in dating nerds, preferring strong, muscular, and handsome men. And while Clover is not a bully that openly looks down on and picks on nerds, she makes it clear she's not interested in them and sometimes even resents when it seems that she's a geek magnet. In "The Iceman Cometh" and "Totally Mystery Much?", where Daryl and Martin Mystery were interested in her, she turns them down because they're nerds; ironically, the events of the episodes cause Clover to reconsider her thoughts on dating them, only for them to reject her because they lost interest in her. | |

Hayate the Combat Butler: While it's not shown, this kind of interaction may have happened in Hinagiku and Miki's past. Miki seems to be playful about the relationship, and Hinagiku is still good friends with her, it doesn't appear that it was destructive to their friendship. When Hinagiku starts showing amourous feelings for Hayate, Miki seems to be one of the forerunners of assisting her, a sign of this trope being applied and I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy. When Nishizawa first approaches Hayate asking him to go out with her, he claims to be only interested in 2D girls. |

In Knights of the Old Republic, Juhani and Dak Vessar's falling out was started this way. Dak told Juhani that he was in love with her. She told him she couldn't return his feelings. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear as though Juhani was able to explain (or that Dak could comprehend) why - it's strongly implied that Juhani is a lesbian. | |

Stargate SG-1: In "Prometheus Unbound", Daniel Jackson is captured by an alien Kull Warrior who has taken over the ship. When said Kull Warrior comments on Daniel being "very attractive", Daniel is suitably repulsed (for the record, beneath that shiny black armor they're pale, mind-controlled crypto-zombies) and says that he's really not Daniel's type. Thankfully for him, it turns out that Samus Is a Girl. The person underneath the armor, a Space Pirate named Vala Mal Doran, is very pretty, if a bit loopy (and does later become a love interest for Daniel). | |

Archer is delighted to get a "Honeypot" mission (seducing an enemy agent) until he finds the target is a gay male Cuban agent. Archer blatantly comes on to him in an outfit that would be an embarrassment at a Pride parade, and the Cuban, a suave gentleman, rejects him outright, saying "You're not my type". Naturally, Archer is offended and yells "I am everyone's type!" | |

In Sailor Moon, Makoto Kino indicates that she's been on the receiving end of this trope a few times. In her introductory episode in the 1990s anime adaptation, crush du jour Game Machine Joe states that he's not into tall, strong girls like her; Mako admits that the senpai who broke her heart said the same thing, and it's shown to be a recurring source of pain for her in this and later episodes. | |

One Piece: Played for Laughs when Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi says this is the reason that she won't marry Vander Decken. Considering that he's been harassing her for over ten years by using his Devil Fruit power to throw objects at her from large distances, forcing her to hide away in a castle out of fear, practically everyone is surprised this is her main concern. Also used when Lola proposed to Franky. Turns out he's just too super for her. |

Done rather painfully in Seeds of Yesterday, the last sequel to Flowers in the Attic by V. C. Andrews. Cathy's three children — her biological sons Jory and Bart and her adopted daughter Cindy — are all together again for the first time in a few years, and Cindy has blossomed from awkward teen to lovely young college student. Bart is visibly taken aback by her transformation. Cindy approaches him rather hopefully, wanting to put their childhood enmity behind them, but he misinterprets her intent (or pretends to) and says coldly, "You're not my type." | |

Used a couple of times in Loyal Enemies: Played for Laughs in various instances of so-called mortal enemies werewolf Shelena and monster hunter Veres telling each other as much, unasked for. Shelena claims that scrawny and half-dead isn't her type, and who likes Tall, Dark, and Handsome anyway? And Veres informs her that blonde and foul-mouthed is nothing anybody would want. Guess who becomes the Official Couple by the end of the book. Played for Drama twice in a row when Shelena is chained naked in the villain's dungeon. Etvor tells Shelena that all of her attempts to look unbreakable aren't going to make her his type, but she's good enough to rape and to produce werewolf-hybrids anyway. Shortly after, freshly face-heel-turned Veres comes waltzing down to declare that no matter what she may have tried, running around naked in front of him or nursing him back to life while threatening to kill him afterwards anyway would never make him fall for her because it shows that she is ruled by animalistic instincts and has no real heart for love, and that's disgusting and not his thing. Veres, at least, was bluffing and talking bullshit out his nose because he needed time to weave a spell to free Shelena and the villains were listening in. |

Arrowverse: Arrow: Rene Ramirez tries to flirt with Thea Queen only to get coldly rejected. A couple of episodes later he is wondering why she doesn't like him, and thinking that maybe there's an alternate timeline where they get together, only for Thea to overhear and say he's not her type. Batwoman (2019): In "Drink Me", Nocturna is so obviously turned on by fighting Batwoman that our heroine has to inform her that murderous villains are not her type. The Flash (2014): Played for laughs in "Elseworlds, Hour One" when Oliver Queen and Barry Allen wake up and find they've each become the other. They have trouble getting their friends to believe them, including Iris who says that the idea is ridiculous as 'Oliver' (actually her husband Barry) is not her type, despite her gushing over the real Oliver Queen when she met him in an earlier episode. Legends of Tomorrow. In the pilot episode Sara Lance starts a Bar Brawl when a burly thug hits on her, and she responds that while he's not her type, his girlfriend definitely is. |

Naturally the Handsome Lech volunteers for the assignment, but Patterson quips that clearly he's not her type. Unfortunately she turns out to be not his type either, when she removes her mask to reveal a hideously scarred face. Queen Yllana does not take his rejection well. | |

In "This Year's Girl", Buffy and Faith have the following exchange while trading punches. In the comics, after the reveal that Buffy slept with fellow Slayer Satsu, she and Willow snark about it, with Willow stating it's lucky she didn't experiment with her, claiming Buffy isn't her type, and Buffy claiming her type includes Judi Dench and Eleanor Roosevelt.
