I'd love more feedback on my profile

Hi All,
Hope everyone's holiday season is going well so far. I decided as part of my New Year's resolution I am getting of my rump and going to give match.com a try. I'd love it, if you can give me some additional critique on my profile. I have been working on it, but don't feel bad about giving honest opinions. Bring it on! Thanks in advance, I appreciate it. I am leery about getting back out there, but I think it is time...

You will find me to be laid back, funny, and down to earth. It is important to me to remain fit for both my physical and mental well being. I try to get to the gym 3-4 times a week, and need to stay active. I took up skiing again, recently roller blading (but I am still falling more than blading) and long rides on my bike. Love being at the beach or anywhere on the water. I find cooking to be relaxing. Oh yeah, and I hold a good job I actually enjoy too. It has been some time since I have been in the dating mix. I am comfy in jeans and prefer to be casual but I can be dazzling in a dress, too. I enjoy people who like to laugh. And I like to have a humorous approach to life - it just makes everything more smooth.
My life is full, and I am happy, but I have room for a special someone. It would be the icing on my cake to have a great guy to share all the big and little things of our days and weeks. All I ask is that you be sincere, supportive, passionate, and open minded, great sense of humor, respect your mother, have a few good friendships, love kids, and speak 12 languages. Not too much to ask for, right? Kidding! I believe there is someone for everyone and would love to hear from you and see a recent photo if you are interested. Good luck in your search!
Sorry, Karen - I'm no good at profiles, and since I've never done the OLD thing, I don't know that I would be a lot of help.
Hi, Thanks for your responses! I did take the edits, and put them in. I posted my profile a day ago, I have gotten 23 views and no e-mails. I sent first contacts to 4 men. Is this normal that men do not respond at all? I am not sure what to expect, and need to learn to take this with a grain of salt.
My ex boyfriend offered to have casual sex with me anytime I want. Can you believe that? I was with him for 2 years and we ended it 7 months ago. I was like, What? He is dating/sleeping with two other women too. It is one thing if he wasn't with anyone and we both were into this.
So yeah, it is time to move on. I have had no contact with the guy I was seeing most recently, which was the nice cute guy who was in love with me, but he was an ex-accountant gone full-time poker player. Then there is my friend the Attorney, who wants to date me and he is my ideal profile, but I just do not feel chemistry with him. He is nice, bright, financially secure, etc.
Time to find new!!! Thanks.
You know, you could have chemistry develop with the attorney if you gave it a chance - it is worth a try. Just my .02.....
Your exbf is a dodo - yeah right buddy. They think that we think like they think.....
And yes, "need to learn to take this with a grain of salt" - that is about the best of it for OLD. PATIENCE. It is not a "right now" medium - that is for sure.
Hi Karen,
You may want to visit the Online Dating board on iVillage since the "veterans" can also give you feedback.
Here are my comments:
I would get rid of the first line of hating to talk about yourself.
