Line 12:
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 from some other reason, the example would instead be a part of this trope.

{{examples}}
* In ''[[Sasameki Koto]]'', [[Lipstick Lesbian|one half of the main couple]] says this to [[Butch Lesbian|the other half]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20150518082322/http://www.mangakong.com/manga/Sasamekikoto/002/16/ here]. [[Played for Drama|It drives the angst for most of the series.]]▼

* [[Played for Laughs]] in ''[[One Piece]]''. Mermaid Princess (no, not ''that'' [[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch|Mermaid Princess]]) Shirahoshi says this is the reason that she won't marry [[Stalker with a Crush|Vander Decken]]. Considering that he's been using his devil fruit power to throw an object he can at her (from literally anywhere) for ten years, forcing her to hide away in her castle out of fear, practically everyone is surprised this is her main concern.
* ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]''
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
* ''[[Ranma ½]]'': They hook up later, [[Maybe Ever After|more or less]].

* Played perfectly straight with [http://www.headlineshirts.net/youre-not-my-type.html this T-shirt], which tells on-lookers that they are not your type in 13 different languages, including ''sign language''. (Be forewarned, for those wishing to rush out and buy it, the sign language on the shirt is... well, [[Precision F-Strike|pretty direct]].)▼
** Being fingerspelled English rather than pure American Sign Language doesn't make it any more polite, either. Although it's oddly clever, as simply knowing ''how'' to sign any version of "Not interested" can be an attractant...▼

* Not [[The Reveal]], but on ''[[The Commish]]'' one of the officers is outed as gay and the others start giving him a hard time. At one point he says, "What, are you afraid I'm gonna come on to you? News flash, you're not my type."
* In [[Battlestar Galactica
* ''[[Lost]]'' had a semi-infamous instance where Tom of the Others tells Kate that she wasn't "his type". It took the show a while, but it finally officially confirmed that, yes, he was gay.
