The above scenario just happened to me online.
If they were asking me IRL, I probably would tell them they were attractive anyway and then get away as quickly as I could

Unless they don't. Then just tell them that they don't do much for you. That is usually what I tell people that I am not attracted to, "You're not my type".
The "You're not my type" is probably the best answer out of all them though.
The kind way: "You don't appeal to my personal taste."
The mean way: "You're fucking ugly, bitch! Don't ever speak to me again."
The straightforward way: "No."
Or
If they're still the same sex, and they're not exactly that attractive, but they have a nice feature on their face like their eyes being a pretty color, or just nice in general. I'd say something like; "Sure you are! And I like the way your eyes glow." Or "Your dark hair brings out your eyes more." "They're a beautiful color!"
Now, if it were someone of the opposite sex, and I knew them, I'd probably say something like my top one. I'd say yeah, and then go into the personality traits that are nice. And when you say yeah, just say it. Don't make a big commotion out of it. Don't say it all enthusiastically. Just like yeah. Like whatever, sure. But for someone thats the opposite sex that I don't really know so well, I'd say, "Sure, why whats wrong? Did someone say you looked bad?" and when they tell you whats wrong, maybe someone said they looked ugly, just say; "Psh. Don't listen to them! Its just an opinion anyway.". Or maybe they were just having a shitty day, and are feeling yucky, just say, "Don't worry, you look fine." And be done with it. But if someone says something along the lines of taking an interest in you, just say: "I'm sorry, but I have someone else on my mind right now." And be done with it.
Sorry that was so long. You just wanna sound believable, but at the same time you don't really wanna lie either. I don't know. Its hard. Just say something quick like; "Sure! Look fine to me." And brush it off, hoping they don't go on about it. Move on.
Argh, that's just the worst. I'd rather someone just say to me "you're repulsive" than "beauty's only skin deep". It just seems so condescending! No offence:P.
I feel like I could - maybe even should - have been nicer to the other person.
This guy on OKCupid said he was interested in me because he was sick of dating/having "the typical pretty petite girls" (Near enough his exact words) and thought I seemed cute (?!?!) plus he liked glasses.
He then asked me what my type was and I said I didn't have one.
He then asks me if I'm his type and if I find him attractive (I don't).
I'm annoyed at how superficial he's being and I say something along the lines of how there's more to life than looks.
I deleted the conversations because he pissed me off a bit, but now I wish I'd kept them ><
You should just apologize to him. Be like; "Hey, I'm sorry about the way I acted earlier. I didn't mean to give you such an attitude... etc..".
If it was someone I didn't like, I'd be more blunt with them and if it was a stranger I'd tell them, but I would try not to offend them. I'd hate to have them flip out on me:/
(What you looking for?)
Truthfully, to meet a variety of women. Im bored of the petite prettyface typical girls as thats... [what I've typically had]
Would you say I was your type? x
(I don't have a particular type)
Maybe that question was too broad. Do you find me attractive?
(I think that's when I start getting annoyed and say there's more than looks. I ask him why me)
Because I like my girls with abit more meat, and I girls with glasses are hottt!
