I'm considering getting back on online dating sites, but I'm stuck at how to write a good profile. What are some pointers to writing a good online profile? What are things you should say and things you should avoid saying?
If it's not revealing any trade secrets, what have you written that has worked for you?

Good thing you don't live in So Cal, so you wouldn't have to write "Loves walks on the beach" Every friggin personal ad here has that lame ass line.
I've never wrote a personal ad before so I couldn't be much help. I'm think just for a goof, you should write everything opposite you like just to see what kind of person you'd attract.
Ummm....write about yourself and avoid cliches. The idea is to give a glimpse into your personality, life, and interests. It's also a conversation stater, so there needs to be enough info and topics to make it easy for people to respond. If it's short and generic, it's hard for people to respond and so then they may not respond.
Be specific....avoid the vague statements such as "I like all different kinds of music". That says nothing about you. Say instead "I saw such-and-such band last month and they were awesome" or whatever. If you really do have eclectic taste, name an artist/band from each major genre you like.
Don't use it to rant on what you don't want in a person. Avoid negativity.
Show a sense of humor....not forced or intimidatingly witty. Adding a little self-deprecation is good, as long as it is not negative, but maybe mention something quirky about you. Random details about people can actually be pretty amusing on profiles, as opposed to the usual drone about your job and how you love the outdoors.
so, not to take anything away from the OP, but I wonder if mentioning that I don't want guys who are just looking for sex/good times is ok to mention?? Otherwise, I would get the creeps that only want sex. I'd rather weed them out quicker.
What about requesting the guy be marriage/children minded?? can I mention that?
*I realize this type of guy doesn't exist, but a girl can dream, can't she??

; who can't...) and dumb-sounding invitations for trouble like "no cheaters," "no drama," "real people only" and so forth...
Good luck!
Imagine the fancy activities the lady's after...
