...As in, on a woman's profile "I'm looking for a man who knows what he wants"?
She's hoping he'll tell her, so she can pretend to give him that, then when she fails to deliver and it goes tits up, she can blame him for not knowing what he wanted and not being content with what she offered......

If it's on a man's profile, I can only guess and assume that's his cop out for not replying to messsages - "I didnt bother to reply to that one cuz she wasnt what I want"....ditto same response when the relationship goes tits up - "She wasnt what I wanted after all"......

Oh, go on, call me cynical if you must!!

Maybe they are just boring empty-headed people with no original thoughts, and simply browsed other people's profiles before creating their own, and copied what impressed them and sounded good at the time?

/same as "I am equally happy to stroll hand in hand on the beach or stay at home cuddled up on the sofa with a bottle of red wine" etc/

The one that makes me smile is "I enjoy good food" - oh good, you wont be taking me to macdonalds then, and you're not an emo!
(if this is a man saying it, it usually means he lives at home with his mother, and girl you are on the road to nowhere!).

If she's wise she wont!
And if he's all-knowing, he wont want a wise woman to suss out the bull hahahahaha

Well if you find a man that fits the bill, ask him if he's got a brother!

most men know what they want, but most women don't want a guy who still sitting in his underware, drinking stella and watching sport with the central heating cranked to full when she comes home tired from work at half five.

Its one of those mystery of life dealies...
