Please note that in my revision I asked for a MAN. A good, Catholic MAN. One that has never been married and doesn't want kids.
And I made it sound appealing instead of torturous.
Oh, this is cruel! That infamous, clever-wording marketing departments place on goods to make them seem more desirable than they really are, and when the consumer takes them home and opens them up, all hell breaks loose.
That sounds much better than what I posted. The only difference is I am open to having kids (biological or adopted)but didn't put that in because I don't want to sound like it's the only important thing. In the later boxes I mentioned I have a Greyhound, Russian Blue and a Parakeet but maybe I'll put it in my main profile.
Just change the part about kids to simply say "Am open to having some of my own someday".
It's simple and it lets people know you don't want to be a stepmom.
Good luck with your new profile.
As an aside? I have a Master's in English, I'm a professional editor, and I used to teach.
It's much easier to edit than to create content.

I forgot. I am also in marketing.

Thanks Meh for that helpful advice and it really does sound much better. I knew I wanted to change it because I know several of my profiles were terrible.

Any time.
It's really hard to know exactly what to say when you're talking about yourself.

IDDY this is much better than the first one, and I like Mehs offering. Since you are using Match, please do take advantage of the area where you can be picky and choosy of what kind of man you want. This is the area that will help you exclude the type you DONT want.
We all know there are things that you are not looking for and Match offers a great way to do it by being positive. It allows you to pick what you DO want, leaving the things you don't want off the list. This is a great way for it to remain positive.
Instead of saying something like, "I do not want a married man, I do not want a divorced man, single parent, etc etc." it allows you to pick the opposites, keeping your profile positive.Don't worry that they contacted you even though you didn't want them to. We have to remember it's a free country.
Remember the term "thanks but no thanks" or something of the like. If they are rude, Match offers a block feature. Instead of getting into a debate with them, block them right away. You wont have to deal with them again.
Where do you see your future? While mine was corny as ever, it was heart-felt and it was true..... I just wanted to find that man who would sit on the front porch swing with me....
Well I found him, and I am sure he would, but we dont have a front porch swing! One day, I swear, we will! lol
Good luck IDDY. Use those features! They keep it positive!!! Very important!
Know that some of those men may contact you anyway and let it just roll off your shoulders.
At the expense of getting laughed at on here (I can take it) I will post my actual profile write up from a couple of years ago. It is down to the point who I am while it may be corny, it was me:
Hi! I am someone who enjoys just being herself. I love to laugh and be happy, and enjoy being around people who are of like mind. I love being surrounded by nature, and even more than that, I love photographing it. I am big on family, and I love mine dearly. I am an intellectual, and I love to learn new things. I am left brained and I am analytical, just how I am. No biggie. =) I have been known to enjoy a few baseball games as well.... The roar of the crowd, the colors passing by here and there, all of the senses being used..... I love feeling the roar in your chest... just like at a high school football game, when the band plays and you can just feel it inside of you! The biggest thing about me is... I am just me. I do not pretend to be anyone else. Why should I? In life, all I want truly is to be happy. I don't have a great need for things. Things are fine, but I do not base my life around them. I think that if you are with someone you love and enjoy spending your time with there should not have to be much else..... What do I want? I want every day. I want someone who enjoys life. I wanna swing on the front porch swing and be happy knowing that the one sitting next to me is happy as well...
There. That is how I got the best man ever. =) True story.
I tamed down the never married, childless part, and this is non negotiable. I want the men to know my dog, cat and bird are my kids.
You say you are childless, yet the dog, cat and bird are your kids. You are wasting your time and money on the site. Really. Guys are gonna think you are a nutjob.
Ah...I see you took that out. Good.
