And, for the purposes of the profile-photo, lose the glasses. I wear glasses 24/7, myself, so I know it's part of who I am, but a guy wants to see you without a barrier in front of your face.

Some people just photograph better than others, and they are not necessarily better looking. Anyone with fears about their attractiveness tends to look strangely into the camera . . . not relaxed and comfortable and happy. Sometimes it's better for the camera to catch you at an angle, rather than squarely, straight-on.

I thought your written profile was more or less okay, but I would absolutely not put wanting to get married in my "intent." That surely scares off some. Slow down. Start with wanting to find someone to have good times with.
But you don' know the internet and dating guys, trust me if I post photos of me without glasses, and then show up on the date with glasses, they will think I am a liar. And I get told a ton to take photos of close ups of me, because people can't see me, or see my face, so I take photos of my face, because people say I need a headshot type of photo, so they can see my face. And then take photos of my body, showing me in the outfit I am wearing too.
