Yeah, you're prepared to date women young enough to be your daughter.
Call me old fashioned (you like old fashioned, eh?), but by the time you're 39 years old an 18 year old woman should appear as a child to you and automatically be off limits.
Get rid of your match info. You could be excluding someone who is 4'10", or views themselves as having a few extra pounds who is the embodiment of Marilyn Monroe in your eyes.
You can always say no thanks if someone contacts you and it's not happening for you, but you can't say yes please to someone who doesn't contact you. Don't decide you don't like someone before you even know they exist, eh?
Write some more, maybe? I'm kinda curious how tradesman/craftsman equates to making people happy. I don't necessarily think you should explain yourself on your profile, but more curiosities might help to pique interest.
If you'd like more attention, get out there and use the site facilities - you can get plenty of attention and advertise yourself using the forums, blogs, or any of the other social activities here...and it might be fun!
Great photo for starters - you have a natural and Earthy beauty. That coupled with your writing, you come across as a very genuine and open woman.
I'm in two minds about the negativity, though. On the one hand it shows who you are, on the other hand I wonder if it's pointless. Not so much the BS comment, but the "I don't want to be someone's option" bit.
The men who will treat you like an option perhaps won't care how you want to be treated and the men who will treat you as you wish to be won't need to be told you don't want to be an option. I'm wondering if that much honesty makes you a little emotionally vulnerable too early.
You could make your writing more succinct to appeal to men who'd like something snappier, but maybe they're not the men for you. Maybe you need to just be who you are.
Overall, it appealed to me and generally I favour witty profiles. You must be doing something right.

RE: Just putting myself out there...
Bet you a quid the forums are more widely viewed than the profile reviews.
