For me
When I play 1.e4 I'm not so good against The French
When i play 1.d4 I'm crap against The Grunfeld

I hate seeing the Colle...I'm usually psyched up for an exciting QGA when I see 1.d4, but the Colle is like bromide on an 8x8.

Same with me, namely the Caro-Kann Advance or the Caro-Kann Panov-Botnivik attack when they push c5.

As an English player, I really dislike the symmetric. The hedgehog, KI, any of the reversed Sicillian lines are great. There is just little room for excitement in the symmetric. With the french, I greatly dislike the exchange, even though I score ok against it. It's just deadly dull.

The Scotch. All of black's options, while equalizing, are UG-ly! 😛

Seconded.

Actually, anything that avoids the Modern Benoni.
