Building the perfect dating profile

When putting myself out there, how do I honor myself and my integrity while not sounding like the same profile that everybody else writes? How do I be honest about the fact that I am more than my activities and I don't really think it's that important to go outside constantly? How do I let women know that I am a human being, not a human doing? How do I let it be known that I am a man with sexual needs and I want assurances that those needs will be honored? How do I avoid denying those needs in the interest of not sounding like a creep? How do I let a woman know that I have concerns about fitting into her life when her family are her whole world? And how do I let her know that I know she has been abused by men in her past but she shouldn't treat me like I'm going to be one of them - starting with the wording of her profile?

Online dating is hard but it seems to be all we have these days unless you are a social butterfly - which I'm not. How do you put yourself out there in a way that is attractive without buying into all of the conventions and cliches that everybody else supposedly wants to hear?

EDIT: after 125 comments, I come back and read my original post and realize that two sentences in the middle of it have occupied the attention of everybody in the thread. Amazing. And I am the one being called icky and condescending and everything just short of pervert. Everyone just wants me to accept that I can't ask about sex. No one is discussing how boring dating profiles are and how they tell you nothing about the people behind them. Oh well. Sex always gets the attention. Rage on.
