Is it just me, or does it seem to others that so many profiles just say the same few words.?....... and the 2 above just drive me potty..... I'm sure there can be a little more originality in what people write to attract attention.
To be even more awkward, I believe in reincarnation, so " you only live once" doesn't do it for me either, rather hear more about being adventurous and making the most out of life's opportunities.

Although everyone thinks of him/herself as an individual, people often lead comparable lives relatively speaking, watching the same tv shows, listening to the same songs, eating the same foods and generally being part of the same sort of society. Therefore that will also be where most people get the bulk of their inspiration. Only a minority are naturally gifted with a feeling for originality in creation or know how to channel what is present within and around them.

You are a delightful exception who maybe wants to find her own standards in others?

And "I hate smokers" Yeah we are all evil devil-worshipping bastards! Why not say "I dislike people to smoke around me" - well, unless you visit my home, you got it your own way these days!
And the boring usual "I like to go out for a nice meal or stay in on the sofa and drink red wine (why is it always red and not white wine?) and watch a dvd.......oh good you're not a cheap bastard who's gonna take me to mcdonalds and still only has a tinny old video machine and offer me a glass of water......the sofa you say? Can't I sit on the floor with the dog????????
Reading profiles can be like walking down the aisle at sainsbury looking for bog roll.......just pick the first to hand, they all do the same job no matter the fancy or cheapo packaging!
And if its a BOGOF then even better!!!

to be fair guys i dont think people can help if their idea of a nice night involves red wine and a dvd. and originality isnt always as easy to come by for the majority.only special individuals have that talent.

Omg! don't know what I've started now... it feels like an oooops!

Talking??!!??

What a novel idea!!!!!

Mulder, you are here having a conversation and at the end of the day, that in itself is what counts. Luckily we are not all the same. If we were, the world would be a rather colourless and boring place. Pleased to meet you, oh different one from me.

sos i didnt want to come across as being groutchy.im just having a crap night at work

You come across as very articulate to me, young man!
And i was just being flippant trying to say that profiles need to stand out to get noticed......in my opinion. sorry if i grouched on your shite night sweetie!
