Define "ale"
Seriously, to me it's kind of like saying you don't like Chinese food because you've tried the entire line of LaChoy offerings and didn't enjoy them. The world of ale is vast and diverse.
Now that's not to say that ales don't typically have a certain character, because in general they do. But there are beers that emphasize that character and there are ones that absolutely minimize it. Not a commercial offering but a very popular homebrew recipe called "Cream of Three Crops" is one that brewers often make for their non ale loving friends and family. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f62/cream-three-crops-cream-ale-66503/
I've only used Scottish ale yeast in my Scottish ales, but it's a super clean ale yeast and I bet I could make a very light, very clean, very non ale-like beer with a simple recipe.
It's also possible that you like the noble hops that commercial lagers typically use as well as just preferring very lightly hopped beers in general. If it is a hop issue then I assure you, it's not an ale vs lager thing.

For this exact reason, I recently switched to drinking mouth wash.

That's a pet peeve of mine as well. I enjoy the surprised looks I get when I tell people that out of state Bud Light they're "getting smashed off of" is only .2% higher than Utah Bud Light, or about 5% more alcohol.
I prefer the watery stuff and never got the hipster Utarh beer sucks bros nonsense.

Thanks for explaining some details in beer making which is a unknown territory for me. From dark beers I like porters. Ale's I tried to me just either to sweet or to thick, I can drink them but they don't give me as much satisfaction as good quality lagers ( and trust me I hate bad lagers, they taste like piss, for example Coors light, Corona, Molson, whatever...) ...To be honest I remembered one red beer I enjoyed ( not sure if it was ale or not though).... I think it was called Red Erik and was made in Denmark. To bad can't find it anywhere here in Canada.

Goes perfectly well with food. Beer in here does not give as much choices as you have, but if it is cold enough, it is the perfect drink near anything to my taste. I love drinking beer with food and if did that whenever I wanted to and not stop myself I would have a tummy with the sight like an A-Bomb exploded in it.
You know what? Make it an H-Bomb.

Fell in love with the name.
Just want to clear something up. A beer is an ale or a lager based on the type of yeast used. All beer is either an ale or a lager. Porters, Stouts and hefeweizens are ales.
There are some hybrid styles, like California common (Anchor Steam) that uses a lager yeast fermented at ale temps. But mixing yeast isn't very common. Basically the conditions will most likely favor one strain over the other and that strain will choke the other one out.

Bock is a lager.
