How do you politely tell someone you aren't attracted to them? I;ve always wondered that...because no matter how polite it seems, on my end....they always take offense.....
(and ofc, when they aren't attracted to me it's just because they have poor taste in men  )
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust.

That's B.S.

That's B.S. What's bs about it? I might have worded it a bit odd.
It might be more correct to say more profiles I've noticed have height discrimination than racial discrimination.
As in I've seen a few that says black guys only or white guys only but more seem to say something along the lines of "I'm 5 10 guys and 6 ft in heels, that means you need to be at least 6 ft" or something like that.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

LOL, I don't know if I could have made it in the digital dating age. Profiles and websites and shit. Trawling the interwebs for sex.
I prefer the old fashioned way...where you get consistently drunk at a bar until you meet someone willing to make a huge mistake.

I do three responses
1. Don't respond to the message they usually get the hint
2. Politely say no thank you. There's no need to offer reasons. Just say you're not what I'm looking for.
3. Discreetly block that specific person.
There's no need to be outright rude. And I hope you know when adding "no etc.." You're also driving off some of there people you're attracted to.

LOL, Well...I'm not an internet dater, and I'm pretty firmly locked in..so I'm not driving anyone off...but I wouldn't have cared if I was. I don't mind a little discernment. It's not a web, I'm not a spider.
I'm not really sure what the qualitative difference between being upfront..rude as you call it...and doing what you just mentioned is. Except, ofc, in the case of being rude, the poor bastard knows exactly what it was that you didn't like. No stewing in their own self doubt and misery.

In some places it's a stereotype that bisexual women are actually just attention whores (and actual whores) who never have relationships and will fuck anything that breathes (including your husband).
Being pan for some reason doesn't come with that stereotype. The worst I get is "huh?" or "so that's basically like being a PC bisexual right?" Lol I don't mind either of those.
I use both labels of bi and pan. I'm not fussed about it. I usually just say bi because if I say pan I usually end up having to explain myself which I don't always feel like doing.

Most people insist there's no difference anyways. I always say pan and when people ask if that means bi I just say yes lol
Using pan instead of bi is how I weed out the people I'm not interested in whenever I get a "duh does that mean you like pans? Derp derp" I put a big 'idiot' check by their name in my mental list
