I do the opposite. When my self esteem is way up, I create a profile and knock it back down to the crapper.

You have missed the boat, time to lower your standards and accept any man who is willing to marry you. Your sole requirement should be that he has a pulse. You are shopping for new shoes at the Salvation Army, honey. There will be no Louboutins to be found, that ship has sailed.
LOL on this one. I offered to buy my ex (we met online and we're both in our 50's) Louboutin's but we couldn't find her size ... shucks maybe things would have turned out differently of we had.

This last time on the paid religious site it really did that to me as well. I realized on some sites I am not as in demand as I thought or used to be.

With me: via a dating site I'm not in demand at all, period! They look but don't touch lol!

Outside that: I can be quite easily in demand.

Offline I never have trouble finding someone. Online though I did because many of the men either were just looking for sex (common on free sites), were guys I wouldn't date like dads or much older men, or were men looking for much younger women (my main problem on the religious sites).

Btw to those attacking me (not you Jet Jockey)I have no problem finding men offline and really didn't online either, but I am very specific. I refuse to settle.

I find that interesting that "you refuse to settle" yet you are willing to wait an unknown amount of time for a man to marry you who has only mentioned it but not actually asked you, whom you have not gone on an actual alone with each other date with and have only spoken to him at functions where both of your Mother's are present.

We have gone on dates alone so not sure where you got that. I wouldn't expect an engagement now it is too early.
