"I am a hard working mom with a good career and a bright future. My glass is more than half full. I’m down to earth, sensitive, caring and giving. I am looking for someone who has the same values as me, but not always the same opinions. I am petite, nice and have a friendly smile. People say I am cute but you’ll have to judge that for yourself. In addition to reading and exercising, my favorite activities include cuddling and kissing. It would be nice to find someone I could share my life and my heart with, but I plan on enjoying my life and maybe meeting some good friends along the way regardless of what my future holds."

Exactly. This is why I am reluctant to post my profile. I have written it in such a way that only the women I would be interested in should like/appreciate. I don't want to tailor it so that it appeals to the masses because that defeats the purpose of online dating. The idea isn't to get as many replies as possible is it? It's about finding your perfect match.

Precisely because of this reason have I decided that OLD is not for me. too much chav within the wheat and I dont want to dissipate energy on the weeding out process.
I am going to try the low tech method of doing this stuff.
I dont know if any other person feels this way. I feel so good with other things happening in my life that I dont really miss not being part of a couple. I travel so often that I am so used to doing things on my own anyway. be it going out for meals, going to the movies, theatre etc on my own. I also know that it would be nice to find somebody to share my wonderful life with only and only if he fits.(hope I dont sound too inflexible).
It depends on how you look at it.

After reading this thread I think it's much more complicated than that. It doesn't matter what I write in my profile because some women only care about the main statistics and what I look like. If I pass the profile screening process, some women may be put off by the e-mails I send because they may appear too contrived. I am not going to post each e-mail here for approval before sending them. After considering all the possible permutations the best option is be myself and let fate do the choosing. I don’t believe there is such thing as a ‘Holy Grail’ profile. It will be different for everybody.
For those women who like what you look like, and whose screening criteria you meet, it does INDEED matter what you write in your profile!
Yes, you should be yourself, but there are also some common pitfalls you could avoid by having people review your profile. But if you've read enough posts on this board and on the board website, you should be able to screen your own profile for those pitfalls.
I don't think anyone is saying you should post emails here for approval...but do you not want honest feedback on what you DO post?
