What do you respond when a man asks you what type of man you're looking for?

It doesn't really matter what you say because LVM will just try to make it look like they fit your "type". Keep it vague and say something that everyone says or "I'll know it when I see it". It's a misconception that LVM will weed themselves out willingly. Some might, but the manipulative types won't. Verbally setting standards does not work. The only thing that works is observing men and acting accordingly (block and delete) when their behavior doesn't match your standards. Men respond to consequences, not words.

"Someone that I see a future with"

"I'm looking for a man that will make me happy"

"I'm looking for the right one"

"A date-able one"

I also advise to keep it vague because like someone else said lvm that like to mask as hvm will use any info to play the role.

I've has some lvm that pushed the question further to which I just dismissed all the extra questions and said, " I'm just trying to get to know you, and that will give me my answer"

I'd be inclined to say, "What do you mean? I'm not looking. You're the one who asked me out. What is it that you're looking for?"

My favorite is probably “someone who is true to themselves” because there’s no planning or manipulating around such a vague statement. However if they are asking then they are oro wanting to know what kind of mask they should put up

If I remember it correctly, someone asked a similar question on FDS (back when we were active on reddit). This advice stood out by a mile for me:

I thought it was brilliant.

It's vague and tells the man that you don't take any BS.

"I'll know it when I see it"

“A man who brings out the best in me.” It’s specific yet vague. I will know when a man is well-suited for my emotional, physical, mental, and practical preferences. But if I say that to a man, it doesn’t tell him what he actually needs to do to pretend to be that person, except to pay attention and treat me well and make me happy.

This question is designed to vet YOU, the female, to see how they can conform to your list of qualities you're looking for, so they can manipulate you into your heart and vagina.The only appropriate answer is, "I don't look for men. Men look. Women choose."

Most recently, I've arrived at "someone who adds to my life". I like how it aligns with the FDS definition of high value, but doesn't spell out concrete traits and behaviors for them to fake.

"Not you."

Be vague. "Just be yourself". Then watch their true personality come out lol.

"Someone you can't compete with"

“Just the right sort of person for me!” Then keep deflecting with similar answers when they inevitably try to get it out of you.

"What type of man I am looking for? An interesting man."

Let him figure it out.

That's vague enough to not offer him any direction, and yet precise enough to still be a valid and complete answer to his question. If he then asks what you find interesting, you can jokingly respond with

"Aww that's sweet you want to tailor your entire personality to suit me and my pleasures."

Something like that.
