Not the OP, but for me this past year I found myself in a great place and intentionally trying to find a partner is one of my "jobs" as a deeper connection with a companion is the only thing missing in my life. I am the best version of myself (helped in part by FIRE/reduction in work stress) and have a lot to offer the right person. Not desperate but motivated and willing to put in the effort to get to know someone and build a relationship with them and looking for the same.
What you've described for yourself is basically my life goal on where I want to find myself mentally. When I took a "career" break some years ago, I had so much time and energy for dating - and dating itself almost felt like my full time job during that stage of life, but I did not have enough money to live my best life and I could tell that the majority of those women weren't down with my state of unemployment.
