This has already gone into that territory. What do you all think is good enough to get a chance?

No pressure. My intention would not be to criticize or find fault at all, nor to judge something as not good enough. Just see if I could offer or add anything, give you feedback on what I'd think if I came across it. The point of this is to try to help you, not tear you down.

I don't have any debt, kids, crazy exes, roommates, family issues, STI/STDs... I'm not a racist*. Like I said, I'm generally positive about things. I'm well spoken/written. I don't send "sup, hottie?" messages, or send pics of my schwantz. I'm actually looking for a relationship. For all the anecdotal hemming and hawing about how "terrible" the (straight) male contingent represented in online dating is (we've already got a few stories here I see), I don't think I sound like a bad option. The thousands I've messaged and swiped have felt otherwise though.

Well, that's what makes this more of a challenge. You know...maybe referring to a flaw or vulnerability would work in your favor. Like someone said earlier - could be you sound too good to be true. (Or maybe even intimidating?) But I'd have to read a real profile to give you a proper opinion on that. I can't imagine why you wouldn't get favorable responses.
