Good morning, pheonix.

The only change I would make is to take out reference to games. Everyone online seems to say that and you want to stand out from the crowd.

"I'm looking for a decent, down to earth guy who's ready to start a lasting, quality relationship."

Says it all.

Besides, no one actually admits to playing games, so you won't be weeding anyone out.

I wouldn't include that, or at least don't start out with that. It sounds like you're sort of down about a burnt relationship, and maybe even a little desperate.

<<< so I'm really not interested in the extravagant types.>>> also, if you eliminate this part of the sentence.... someone cool may not reply because of it, and without it the ball is in your court to just not respond to someone who isn't your type.

This line says it all and I love it: "I believe any good relationship, whether friends or more, is based on honesty and an ability to just be yourself."

How many times do we hear he/she wants to change their SO instead of accepting them? This does not include drugs, smoking, abuse or lieing I'm talking about character/personality traits. i.e. maybe he/she is sarcastic or she is a girly girl or he is a manly man or metrosexual whatever .......

I sure hope you get your man this time around, smiles.

Define low-key. How would I know if I was a match for that lifestyle? (and don't you dare give a dictionary definition). WHAT do you do? Describe it and if possible anything remotely humorous about it. Hiking is fun. Finding guys' badly decomposed underpants on the trail is even better. Hiking is fun. Seeing a moose bigger than the van is a unique conversation starter. Hiking is fun. Knowing the three types of snakes you never touch will provoke interest (big snake / little snakes / dead snakes). SCUBA is a fun class. Pointing out the oddness of their first lesson "Don't stop breathing" makes it a bit more unique. People identify with that weird stuff.

Every guy who wants in is going to gloss over paragraph one and say "hey, she's talking about me".

What different places do you like to go to? Any special food you enjoy? That would be a good opener to slide into the restaurant. Weekends you'll sometimes find me enjoying ____ or ___ and my favorite places ____ or ____.

Leave in the "Other times I'd rather just hang out at the house with a movie and good company." and I bet you get a lot of first date invitations to there...

"Drop me a line if you want to know more" is un-needed because you're a great catch and hot chick -- or so your profile should convince them by the time they're done reading. Great catches never have to plead for contact.

PM, if you want responses, just put one thing in your ad:

"Hi guys. I once dated a chick, and treated her like she was my little princess. It was pretty hot but for now, I guess I'm dating men."

You'll have a TON of men responding. :)

I don't think that's the angle she needs to go at; she'll attract every player looking for just one thing! Whomever she ends up with will get that secret information once she trusts him.

But FUNNY though but not wise!

Heck, I'm ready to email her myself! :) I always thought PM was kind of a hottie, but hearing that the other day? Wooohooo! ;)

(waggling eyebrows like dirty old man) How's about it, Phoenix? How YOU doin?

LOL

It's a good thing I took my last sip of coffee BEFORE reading this or it would have been all over my paperwork...
