I’m going to assume you are interested in a wider range of women than the average (on lesswrong) and point out a profile that I think is successful, and might be useful to you. If you are specifically looking for gender atypical women, then probably ignore this.
Things he does in his profile worth noting (but not necessarily copying)
1) Implies he gets lots messages
2) Implies that people might want to stalk him
3) Shows he can organise events IRL *
If you look at his journal, lots of people are talking to him, lots of girls are flirting with him. Those sorts of things are a lot harder to engineer than an attractive looking profile, so are good demonstrations of value. You stand out from the crowd.
I’ve met him in real life and he does seem successful with women. He is easy going and friendly, but intensely cocky and flirty.
*Going to an okcupid meetup is a good way of increasing your exposure on the website as well. You will be featured in diaries + pictures and if you make a good impression you’ll get compliments and people to follow and comment on your journals. It can be grey hat if that is the only reason you do it though...

I think that’s probably accurate.
I can see why the profile you link is successful. It’s funny and well written. It also signals high status without being too direct or explicit about it. I’m not confident in my ability to pull off the same degree of funny over a similar amount of text however. I tend towards more brevity because I find I get bored of most long profiles (this one mostly avoided that) and I assume most women have the same reaction but I’m not sure if that’s a mind projection fallacy. Humour does seem effective in profiles but one of the reasons its a good signal is it is hard to fake and I’m always wary of trying and failing, more so in writing than in person.
