I think to attract prospects, you would need a give a general description of yourself, height, weight, age. If you are employed, ok to mention gainfully employed. I would not mention anything about being well-to-do, or even looking at early retirement. Why? While you don't want to look like a bum, you don't want to attract gold-diggers. Back-in-the-day, (when single), wealth was not a consideration, but I would have been turned off by someone who was not fiscally responsible in some manner. Mention things / activities that you enjoy. Do not come across as wealthy: do not come across as cheap.
This is a fine balance. Match.com lets you show an income bracket from a dropdown box of ranges. I didn't include a value, mainly because I don't want to attract gold-diggers (yes, they come in male versions, too). I do show pictures from my international trips because I want guys to know that, to me, "travel" means something more than a weekend trip to the Ozarks on a Harley. I've still gotten interest from a few guys 30 years younger.
Really good advice from the portion I didn't quote about "pretty". I screen myself out of those because I've never thought of myself that way. My face is pleasant and animated and usually smiling but it's a 65-year old face. At this age, I think physical attraction develops as you get to know someone.
