I have a soft spot for animals and babies, and volunteer at the shelter and hospital, but my friends know me best for my (somewhat corny!) sense of humor and ability to rock out to some karaoke.

This is the best write up. A thread ender so to speak!

I wouldn't expect that a guy I was in a relationship travel with me, in fact, he might not be able to much of the time. I truly relish my time at home and Actually spend a great deal of time at home, but when I am away. I am easily away for a month at a time, so I need someone who doesn't need me to be there all of the time. A travel partner would be nice. I don't expect him to want to camp out in the jungle, but be willing to explore a bit even if it's just a weekend trip, not a total homebody.

So what are you looking for in a guy? Are you looking to have a few fun dates when you're in town? Looking to find a husband and have kids? Looking for a husband but don't want kids? How old are you?

If you're looking for a husband to start a family with, then change your profile to leave out your job/extended travel. It's not compatible with having kids, and would likely turn off men who are looking for a wife to start a family with. It might be a deal breaker for a potential husband without kids too because you're gone so often. If you want kids, then what career path do you plan to switch to?

To me, your profile sounds unclear and conflicting. Someone young enough to have children who volunteers in the infant cuddle program sounds very nurturing and like they would want kids. But then traveling for a month at a time isn't a good way to start a family. I would start with what you're looking for, then tailor your profile to include only the elements that align with that. Also, I wouldn't use the term chaotic to describe your dogs. It makes it sound like you don't know how to train them, which is a turn off. I would tone down your profile so it doesn't sound like your life is a chaotic mess.

I agree. The original wording that OP and the first PP used just sounds...not genuine? Cant put my finger on it but it just kind of turns me off a little. Ops wording makes you sound like a much more genuine person and someone actually looking to date. Also, you sound like a cool person!

Yeah, this is what felt incoherent to me. I started to worry about the dogs.

It's not about weeding guys out. She can do that once she looks at their profile.
