'Honest' dating profile - what would you really like to write!?

On the back of the thread "Suddenly single - would you date again in your 50s ", I was thinking that if I were to date again, I would love to write something that sorts the wheat from the chaff straight away. 😁

Mine would be something like this:
Older strong, independent woman who loves her own space looking for exclusive relationship with someone who:

  • owns his own place or rents and doesn't live with his parents
  • has got his emotional shit together
  • has a job that allows him to have some freedoms for treats, holidays etc and doesn't hope/expect me to pay for him
  • Has kids over 16 who aren't needy/jealous/resentful
  • doesn't have a history of lying/infidelity 'but it wasn't really'
  • isn't hung up on his ex
  • doesn't have addiction/porn/financial hangovers and issues
  • doesn't sit on his gamestation thing all day
  • isn't balding with a paunch worthy of Father Christmas and expect me to look like a supermodel on his arm continuously
  • Can cook for himself
  • knows what and how to keep tidy/clean house and self
  • doesn't want to get married or move in with me and likes his space
  • isn't passing time until 'a better option' comes along.

Applications with relationship CV to the above. And yes, I'm Mary fecking Poppins myself. 😂😂

What would you like to write instead of the fluff we usually put?

Must be at least as financially viable as me
No caring responsibilities
Must be competent at DIY, Cooking, budgeting
Must be slim
Must be ok with totally ignoring each other occasionally so each can do what they like and not have to tolerate shit on tv or hobbies that the other likes
Must be fine with limited messaging if apart
