echo "<b>Gender</b>:<br/>";
echo "<select name=\"sex\">";
echo "<option value=\"N/A\" >N/A</option>";
if($sex[0]=="Male"){
echo "<option value=\"Male\"  selected=\"selected\">Male</option>";
}else{
echo "<option value=\"Male\">Male</option>";

echo "<b>Looking For</b>:<br/>";

echo "<select name=\"looking\">";

echo "<option value=\"N/A\" >N/A</option>";

$data = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("select * from pg_user where login ='$user'"));

if($data['looking[0]']=="1"){
echo "<option value=\"1\" selected=\"1\">Dating</option>";
}else{
echo "<option value=\"1\">Dating</option>";

}

if($data['looking[0]']=="2"){
echo "<option value=\"2\" selected=\"2\">Serious Relationship</option>";
}else{
echo "<option value=\"2\" >Serious Relationship</option>";
}

if($data['looking[0]']=="3"){
echo "<option value=\"3\" selected=\"3\">Friends</option>";
}else{
echo "<option value=\"3\" >Friends</option>";
}



echo "</select>";

[something else]

Providing the variable $user is defined should be something like this:

echo "<b>Looking For</b>:<br/>"; 
echo "<select name=\"looking\">"; 
echo "<option value=\"N/A\" >N/A</option>"; 
$data = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("select looking from pg_user where login ='".$user."'"));
if($data[0]=="1"){ 
echo "<option value=\"1\" selected=\"1\">Dating</option>"; 
}else{ 
echo "<option value=\"1\">Dating</option>"; 

}
if($data[0]=="2"){ 
echo "<option value=\"2\" selected=\"2\">Serious Relationship</option>"; 
}else{ 
echo "<option value=\"2\" >Serious Relationship</option>"; 
}
if($data[0]=="3"){ 
echo "<option value=\"3\" selected=\"3\">Friends</option>"; 
}else{ 
echo "<option value=\"3\" >Friends</option>"; 
} 
echo "</select>";
