That I like to get dressed up to go to a play as much as getting my hands dirty outside.

With something like this, how about an example of each which conveys imagery?

Can you give the same themes with a one or two sentence story for each one? Try it out!

BUT, are you doing what the little voices tell you to do? Maybe that's why they're running away.

This is the question that has me the most stumped, really. How do I know what people do or don't notice about me? My first instinct, as always, is to try to be silly, so for now, mine says "People are so overwhelmed by my quick wit, intelligence, and kind heart that they don't notice that I am also gorgeous." Which is what I do think-- I may APPEAR initially to be an ordinary girl with a few extra pounds, red hair and cool black-framed glasses, but when you take a moment to put it all together, I'm freaking cute.

This portion of your profile requires either some introspection or revelation. You can also have quite a bit of fun with it. (Ribbits to Kate!)

I did include something for this in my own profile, in terms of a wish to be noticed about me, but perhaps something more fun and adventurous would be more affective. However, I must say that posting something about how you wish to be recognized has attracted some very compatible partners.

Don't skip or trivialize segments of your profile. Each can have a strong impact.

What did I post for this segment? Well...
"My friends all call me 'spritual', but I'm not preachy or anything. I just tend to notice things that are beyond the physical dimensions."

LOL Tweet!

I have this question empty. I have no idea what to write here. I don't find myself wishing that people would notice or realise XYZ about me.

I am a big proponent of humor in profiles …

I don’t mean this to sound like I’m saying I don’t like what you wrote, but I think there is only a narrow part of the envelope between just-right self-deprecating humor and conceit. I prefer matches to either let their photos speak to their appearance, or to say nothing if they don’t have photos (though I appear to be quite rare in that I met women without photos.)

The tone of this doesn’t work for me. Since your matches can see your photos, you have not actually answered the question.

Also, you have three things here (list.) One option would be to have “quick wit” as the thing people do notice, and “kind heart” as the thing you wish they would.

Just one opinion, so I hope you get some others here.

***

One thing to keep in mind with this, is the question invites sharing something personal. I think getting that right is a good way to set yourself apart.

Oh, Meri!

At least put in “Why can’t everyone see I have writer’s block?” Or something, until you think of something.

You guys are hilarious! On my side, I wish a very intelligent-handsome-stable-loving men notice my vixen side. I don't know, I don't like to exhibit that side because I hate to come across as a wh***. Is really difficult because I would love to be more free spirit, but then I'm really scared of coming across the wrong way.
Are you sure vixen is the word you want to use?

This is mine:

That I am articulate and opinionated, but sometimes lack the quick pick-up to respond at rapid-fire speed.

And I do find it a turn-off when I find a match has left this blank.
