we all have people to whom we are attracted or not attracted. however it is in our own best interests not to denigrate those to whom we are not attracted, a simple "not interested, thanks" is sufficient response. Each of us has an interest in telling our partners what we like or do not like, as our partners have an interest in telling us the same. That is the only way to find a compatible partner. Suffering in silence is not really a good option. Know what you like and go for it rather than making a mistake and wishing it wasn't so.
