    "If I could design my perfect woman" is pretty off-putting. It's like saying you're going to hold up a ruler to every person you meet and reject anyone who doesn't measure up. Doesn't sound like fun.

    In "about me" don't talk about yourself with adjectives, as in "I'm intelligent". Talk about your interests, what you like to do, what you like to read and talk about. Maybe say something about what you do for a living and why you like it or don't like it or why it is/isn't an important part of who you are. Talk about where you have traveled, or where you would like to and why. If you do art or play music, talk about what kinds of things you do and enjoy. What instrument do you play? What style? What do you do for fun?

    I met my partner online fifteen years ago. What distinguished the ad I answered from all the ones I didn't is that most of them were practically identical lists of favorite TV shows and "I like to chill and hang out". Nothing that tells me why the person who wrote it is more interesting to have dinner with than a potted plant. The ad I answered talked about bike touring and other fun things and gave me a sense of the real person who wrote it.
