Reworked profile..opinions again please

Here is the new text:

I am a single mom with 2 daughters...ages 6 and 7...yes, I had them close together! : ) It makes it great! My girls are the greatest things in my life and I love being their mom! But, I need somebody that I can also be a grown up with from time to time... : )

One of my favorite things is probably music! I have always had a great love for it. My cd collection includes everything from Keith Urban to Kiss to 3 Doors Down just to name a few. I also enjoy watching movies, taking scenic drives through the country (I live in East Texas after all!), singing (just not on a stage!), and scrapbooking.

I have a fairly large family and spending time with them is very important too. My dad started a new tradition a few years back.."Poppa's Fishing Tournament", in order to do something different each 4th of July...complete with cane poles and crickets, (and yes, I do know how to bait the hook!), and trophies to all of the grandkids! Although, sometimes I think the grownups have more fun! We finish it up with hot dogs and chips (it's for the kids afterall!)...and even eat it before lunchtime...(GASP!)....because early morning fishing is the best, of course!

If this sounds interesting and you think that we might have something to talk about, send me a note or a wink!

thanks for your help!

OK - I'm a single mom too, but this is way too kid-centric.

It's great that you are close to your family, but this suffocated me, and I'm not even a guy!

Put in more about YOU.

Thanks for the input! I wasn't trying to go overboard on the kids...I just thought that this was a great insight on what my family/me are like...

I'll work on it some more.

thanks!

To be honest, I think 90% of guys would be scared of that profile.
I don't know you, but the profile sounds like a single mom desparate to snare a husband.

Definitely mention that you have 2 wonderful daughters, but maybe cut back on the family talk.. Just say, I enjoy fishing, music, and whatever..

A guy is going to read that and think you'll want him to introduce him to your family on the first date..

I totally agree with buffybunny. Family stuff can scare a guy away. Just show your interests and portray how much "fun" you really are. When I was doing OLD, I never even mentioned in my profile that I had a daughter - mainly because I was too paranoid of meeting some weirdo, but I think I watch way too much Court TV and American Justice.
But also, I wanted to get a feel first of what type of person he is, how he felt about kids or not etc....

Do you mean that you don't have "have children" checked off on your profile? Or just that you don't mention your daughter in the About Me section?

I do have 1 child checked, but no mention of her elsewhere. She's not involved in my dating life. Mind you, she's pretty independent so I don't have to introduce her to anyone if I don't want to. And I rarely do.
