It's not perfect and it needs polish in the BBD area if you want to use it for more serious dates. But it will save you having to write from scratch....
Is there more to online dating than 10 year old blurry photos, past flames that never extinguish, guys who don't call when they say they will, endless coffee dates, professional daters, the unsolved mysteries of people that disappear after responding to your email? If what you read online was true there would be a waiting room at every gym, gas prices would creep down weekly as men and women hopped on their motorcycles instead of driving a honking 4 ton SUV, hiking trails would be so crowded that they’d impose single file walking rules. So about me? My friends say I look just like my picture. I enjoy hiking, working out at the gym 7 or 8 days each week and reading The Davinci Code. For fun I like to go out or stay in -- though I'm equally at ease cuddling on the coach. I have several kids - and am not afraid to use them as an excuse to break dates at the last minute. So why am I here? I'm looking for my soulmate....or the BBD (Bigger and Better Deal) whichever comes first. But I've saved the best for last. I'm actually 5 foot 10 like my profile say's! How’s that for online honesty.

That's hilarious LG!
Single file lines on hiking trails......LMAO
And the rest, so true!
I would tighten this profile text up a bit (remove some of the sarcasm about BBD), probably insert something at the very beginning about cliche filled profiles (which would conrast with the blatant cliches at the end).
Then for the main part of the profile section that asks where you like to go and what you like to do put NOTHING funny whatsoever in there -- simply put favorite activities and places. Specific places and things. I believe this will work well.
That's very cleverly written, LG. However, you may want to correct your spelling error: "I'm equally at ease cuddling on the COACH."
That line may get some raised eyebrows or some undesirable inquiries.
