What do women like to read in a man;s dating profile?

So my ex DP:
I've been told by my ex-partner (we're still friends) to find out what women would like to see in a dating profile. We've been separated for two years but are very communicative and co-operative for the children because we both think they come first. Parents at war with each other are not acting in their kids best interests we believe that children are blessings not weapons and act accordingly to each other,

Now I can kind of understand why women would be put off or threatened by that but having been at war with the children used as weapons by my ex-wife before this is by far the better way for us as parents to conduct ourselves.

So I'm looking for advice because honesty doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere. I've pasted my profile below and cannot stress enough that I'm not looking for a hook up here which is why I've left out the name of the site I'm on.

Feel free to edit or comment. I am looking for constructive criticism and advice not petty childish insults and abuse which seems to be the way the internet is, present company accepted. Hopefully I'm not committing romantic suicide here.

The End.

It's not there.

I've never online dated but the only thing I would want to read is the truth. Be honest and be you.

Are you the Invisible Man?

Well, women like all kinds of different things don't they. Because they are all different.

Why not focus on the things that you actually like and enjoy and put a truthful (-ish maybe slightly witter and more charming) account of yourself on there.

If you try and attract a woman by committee you're probably more likely to meet women, but less likely to meet the woman for you IYSWIM.

Oh yeah you haven't linked to the profile.

FaFoutis · 06/09/2018 23:37

I think the emphasis on the ex might be putting women off.

TheSpottedZebra · 06/09/2018 23:37

Ladies, you're just not submissive enough to read it Sad

Or, it's on a 2nd thread.

Sorry went a bit wrong and can't edit so I've reposted and asked for this thread to be removed.

Here's the link to the thread. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/relationships/3358204-Constructive-critique-of-a-mans-dating-profile-please?watched=1

I won't put a link to the "actual" profile on here in case the mods think I'm trying to pick up here when I just need proper advice.

Who doesn't mind letting her man take the lead.
Also, terrible start about it being the most honest profile you'll ever read.

It's a big fat no from me.

I think people should stop giving advice. There are red flags are all over this guy and it would be better for women to know his true colours upfront. 😉

Present company *excepted.
Still hate it. On both threads.
Please don't date until you've had extensive psychotherapy for at least ten years.
Take your dating profile to the therapy session as a basis from which to start.
Wishing you all the best.
