Leave that off but do indicate that you have a career but that is not the
most important thing for you... list those other important things.

I do not drink or smoke and I mentioned that I'd prefer the same with my match.

Then be brutally honest and state that. There are plenty of folks who
consider themselves non-drinks but will have 1 drink on some occasions
so be clear if that is acceptable.
BTW, I don't smoke or drink either.  |

I agree with this.
To me, someone who only has a drink here and there socially is a non-drinker in my eyes. I think it's best to simply say you're a non-drinker and then say you do however like to have an occasional drink.
The whole point of the online dating profile is to help you attract people who are like you that you'll get along with... not to make a profile to attract people with different interests. |

Is it bad for a woman to send a message to a guy first? A dating site that I'm a member of, keeps track of the guys who have viewed my profile and marked my profile as a match.
I received quite a few emails from guys, but I wasn't really interested in them, based on their profile and pic. I was beginning to think that this online site was a complete waste of time, until I checked and saw that someone who matches what I'm looking for, marked me as a match.
I don't know why he didn't send an email, that was a bit odd, but I figured, what the heck and just reached out to him. But I'm a traditional girl, and would really prefer for the guy to make the first move, so perhaps I ruined it? Maybe I should have waited for him to send the email.

Nope, as long as you're someone they find attractive you'll be fine. I never respond to messages from women on there, but that's because majority of women that send messages are extremely ugly, and not only that they always send the same stupid "hi" and nothing else message.
I had a Venezuelan girl send me a message and you bet your butt I responded |
