Perhaps I look for different things in a guy, but I have to say that 'physically fit' would not be my priority.
Words like thoughtful,passionate, affectionate and outgoing would be more suited to me.0 -
I found spontaneous and outgoing got my attention. I can be a hermit at times and it helps having someone the opposite of me to help me get out of my shell.0

Well crap....I thought I was doing good using "genuine" to describe me. Im def not sweet...more sassy and full of *kitten* id say. Lol!!!0

I find these "one word descriptions" fishy. I never believe them.
Any idiot with a dictionary can list words, but I often find that these words will have a different meaning in someone else's mouth (most women "described as crazy and fun by their friends" are just utterly conventional and boring - can't imagine what their friends must be like...).
And - probably worse - most of the time, these so called traits are actually not at all defining traits of the person, but they still felt it was important to mention those adjectives in their profile to be more "attractive". So it fails to describe them accurately.
I much rather have someone writing the same idea in a full paragraph, or telling life stories where they displayed the said quality. Same as in a CV really.0 -
How about key words from friends or co-workers trying to setup a date.... "she has a wonderful personality"0

If I was reading profiles, I would likely pick "sassy" over "sweet" any day. Sweet sounds boring. Sassy sounds independent and willing to have fun. Of course, I look for women who enjoy some friendly banter anyways, so...0 -
It surprises me how far down on the list "funny" is. Humor trumps physically fit any day.0

I steer away from the ones that say "physically fit" because I always think that means they want someone to go running with them---yeah, no, not going to happen .................0

I usually stay away profiles that say "physically fit" or "ambitious". The physically fit ones are usually looking for slim or athletic girls which I am not and the ambitious ones I think of as workaholics. Funny they shouldn't have to tell me they are funny it should come across in their profile.
Outgoing, opptimistic and passionate will usually catch my eye and make me sit up more when reading a profile.0
