G,

I have two siblings who married people they met online...go figure.

I shall write YOUR description:

"Friends tell me I'm beautiful, brilliant and have a hilarious wit...and those are my jealous insecure friends, who barely know me!"

Then say the three most important things you want (e.g., non violent criminal past, IQ over 80,-and not physically repulsive...)

what's that? You're pickier?

Well fine...list it all and see whatcha get!

I think I'd focus on the positives rather than mentioning negatives you don't want. You'll get the same results with sugar instead of vinegar...like wanting a financially solvent, fundamentally happy person interested in living a full life, with a sense of humor being mandatory,

are all reasonable!

And sounds a tad better than these alternatives-- "Not interested in broke jokes who want to mooch, OR who are chronically underemployed or worse...Dislike those who are negatively programmed and whine a lot. NO sedentary couch potatoes, no depressives, no cry babies wanted....and if you haven't laughed hard or more than twice this week don't bother calling".

See how the first sounded a little bit nicer?

there, my work here is done.
