One of the main reasons why so many have not found a good man yet.

Ridiculous expectations.

I would shortened it to sentence since so many people are programmed to only look at the picture instead of the essay. You can say


"I am looking for a guy who is interested in a long term relationship, has a sense of humor, goof listener and believes in God"


I believe it will stand out more because of the length and straight to the point.

Shorten it to:

Husband wanted. Must be Christian.

sounds fine.
In my opinion it's very generic, very commonplace, nothing is out of the ordinary.
That may be who you are and who you want to attract, so I say good luck fishing.

Say who you are, and what you hope to find. But keep in mind, your photos and your weight/body type are the 800lb gorillas in the room.

I'm looking for a man who is sure of what he wants in life, in a woman, and in a relationship. I want a guy who is ready to be in a relationship and wants a long term relationship and who eventually wants to get married one day. I like a guy with a big heart, who has a great sense of humor, who can keep his word and knows that actions speak louder than words, takes initiative, listens, believes in God, and is humble.
Sorry I think it is bit scaring people to be honest. And they get the impression that you are woman with lot of rules that men wont interested in. Just drop it with bit of humor. When I dropped like this I got no responses at the end I dropped Eva is looking for Adam! that is it since then I got many replies.

I think you're missing the point, OP.

Your profile is there to tell about YOU. So you need to write things that will attract men TO you so they want to get to know you, not scare them off.

Besides, what guy is going to read what you wrote and think, "Well, I would message her but I don't have a big heart." And every guy thinks he has a great sense of humor. You won't actually know whether YOU like it until you get to know him.

So focus on YOU and what's lovable about you.
