I am not trying to be mean at all, but after your first two sentences, the rest of your profile sounds negative. Every one comes with some amount of baggage or drama. Some people even think children are drama because sooner or later they may have to deal with the "ex". Lighten the mood up a little in your profile.
Your pictures are very handsome.
Have a good time.

Your pics are good- you are very handsome but work on the profile- add more about your interests and what you are looking for in a woman-focus on the positive and don't worry about anyone's exes as we all have them.

maybe not mention the kids and wait until you start to talk to someone- lots of weirdos out in cyber land.

Good Luck to you

The first photo is a bit dark.

I'd suggest talking about you, who you are, what you like and so forth. Saying what you don't want? Well, can't you figure that out after mailing with them if they aren't your type? It does seem negative, and honestly it comes off as a bit arrogant.

Talk about YOU. It's your profile. And good luck.

Tell more about yourself, rather than what you're not looking for. Use another picture as your main picture, as your current one is pretty dark and hard to see.

Ohhhh no. No...... frustrated

Laid back is not a good phrase at all. Nor is asking people to ask you questions about you a good idea either.

Think of this: What do you want to know about a person? Answer those questions about yourself and write it. You need at least, at least a paragraph. I know mine is long, but look at it. I really put forth effort into putting my personality in there.

My daughter took that one with my phone yesterday, this one is from 3 weeks ago, so I guess that would be considered current.

I don't think I could be any more constructive than I have been. If you choose not to take my advice, I can't do anything about it.

What do I think? I think it's too short, it's generic and doesn't stand out.

I wish you luck.

I took your advise...I thought, maybe the internet dating isn't for me, I'm the type of person who talks face to face, I don't know how to sell it on paper. So thanks for the advise.

Lilith gave you some good advice. Just write more about yourself. Your profile is still pretty short.

It is hard writing about ones self.
I do like the changes you made. Its not negative like the first one.
Don't give up with the online thing, put yourself into the forums and people will learn about you and how you are through them.
