Thoughts on my profile?

You guys are adding such great insights on profiles, I'd like to get the benefit of your thoughts on mine as well. I'm a recently divorced 49-year-old female with my age settings set at 46 to 57.

Thanks in advance!!

Here's my profile:

Most passionate about:The one thing I am most passionate about: Getting to share and enjoy the experience of my daughters growing up to be such wonderful people!


The most important
Most important thing I'm looking for:g I am looking for in a person is:
It's an old-fashioned notion, I realize, but one that's timeless. Honor is still the most important quality that a man can possess. Honesty, integrity, and the ability to do the right thing (even when it's difficult) are traits that will never go out of style.

I like this answer a lot!

Occupation:Manager Age49Height5' 4" Wants Kids:NoKids at Home:Yes
EthnicityHispanic or LatinoReligion:Spiritual, but not religious Drinks:About once a weekSmokes:NeverThe most influential person in my life has been:

It's hard to pick just one person who's been most influential. I've lived in several different states and have been blessed to have so many wonderful people come into my life. Every one brings something unique -- talents, perspectives, beliefs.

There is nothing wrong with this except that I see many answers that are very similar to what you wrote. The best way to get responses is to stand out from the crowd.

I personally respond well when the profile states a specific person with a reason why they were influential. The response can tell me a lot about what a person values, their relationships with others, etc.

The three things which I am most thankful for:

• Family and good friends
• A great life and the ability to enjoy it
• Beautiful days

Three of my best life-skills are:

• Creating a peaceful, beautiful home environment
• Raising and/or caring for children
• Finding pleasure and contentment in simple things

The one thing I wish MORE people would notice about me:

As people get to know me, they're often surprised by my quick wit. There's just nothing better than lively conversation, sprinkled with twists and turns, layers of meaning, and laughter.

Very nice!

The first thing people notice about me:

My contagious optimism and sunny disposition. I look for (and usually find!) the best in every situation and every person. My oldest daughter calls me a "hippie" and that may be so. I realize that there are difficulties in life that must be faced. Isn't that really all the more reason to truly enjoy those moments in between?


My interests

I typically spend my leisure time:

Hanging out with friends, cheering on my girls and their friends at volleyball & softball games, reading, scouting out new ideas for my home and garden.

Maybe elaborate more on the types of home and garden activities you like to do and/or possibly include more activities that matches may see as things you can do together?

The last book I read and enjoyed:

My favorite book of the summer is "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. The main character finds the courage to question her upbringing and stand up to her hometown for something that she believes in. She winds up making a difference in many other lives in small and not so small ways.


According to my friends:

My friends describe me as:

• Genuine
• Optimistic
• Loyal
• Intelligent
