Kind let down?

Hi. I'm new here so this might have been asked before but how do you let
people down gently after seeing pics?

I'm not a horrible person and certainly don't think I'm all that but
sometimes you are just not attracted to them, don't want to hurt their
feelings but equally don't want to waste anyone's time.

I’m guessing it’s mostly men that share first. I get this, I know I’m no Brad Pit, but I have a certain intensity, or so I’ve been told, I know I’m not everyone s cup of tea. I’ve been around for 51 years and can take a bit of rejection. I do however appreciate a thanks but no thanks. Rather than just ghosting. I find that a bit rude, even though it’s probably not meant to be. I know what I’ve got to offer, perhaps I’ll find it, perhaps not. I think if people can’t take the photo rejection they shouldn’t be here, after all we’re on a market place. Someone has to want what I’m offering. (Looks play a big role, probably bigger than most are prepared to accept)

" Your not my type, thanks but no thanks, thank you for your interest"
No further contact or response after that.

‘Ah thank you for sharing your pics . Alas I don’t feel a connection having seen them’ .

That’s one of the honest and nicer responses I’ve had .

Anyone want to offer a second opinion if I share my password ? 😇

It's important to be honest yet tactful. You can express appreciation for their company, then gently convey that you didn't feel a romantic connection. Emphasize your respect for them and your desire to be transparent.

"You seem like a nice person but my god you have teeth like a burnt out fuseboard and the face that's had far too hard a paper round and could make an onion cry,"

Don't say that.

We all accept that people's expectations of what we look like will be very different from the reality that is us.

However.... if the messages exchanged have been good and made you smile, maybe you should still meet them for a coffee or a meal - you'll still have a good evening and stranger things have happened in IE country with unlikely pairings.

Rubbish phone camera selfies don't do some of us any favours either, so in truth, you're better off just saying that the individual wasn't quite what you'd imagined or built up in your head, of course it's going to bruise, nobody wants to be told that they look like a potato with a face drawn on, but at least you're not leaving someone hanging as to why it's all gone quiet.
