I am 33 M and at least moderately attractive. I'm probably in the top 30% for most women, but not in the top 10%. I'm recently trying to re-enter the dating pool after getting out of an LTR last year and finding very little success (not too original, I know). I am self made, successful, and fairly wealthy. Not super rich with yachts and private planes, but I have made enough money that I can live comfortably for the rest of my life without having to work, though I do still work part time as a contractor, and I have a few personal project that I spend my time on as well.

How can I go about demonstrating my wealth and success though my online dating profile without coming off as sleazy or attracting too much of the wrong kind of attention? I know that being wealthy and successful is attractive to many women, and I have no problem using that to get someones attention. Of course I want to avoid women who are only interested in me because of money, but I think that will either be obvious and easy to filter for, or something that I won't be able find out until meeting and spending time together with someone in person. I have some good pictures of myself in nicer clothes and suits, and I talk about my passion for traveling and a few of the places I've been in my profile, but I'm hoping to get some more ideas of how I can get the point across that being with me will be fun and interesting, and that I can offer some experiences that others may not be able to. That I want to share my passions for world travel, good food, the outdoors, cooking, watching movies at home, and more with the right partner. I want to be able to use what makes me look good to a potential match on paper to get a better chance to meet and find out if we can be a good match in person.

To anyone who thinks what I am trying to do is somehow wrong, I don't want to hear it. I used my mind, spent years getting an education, took strategic risks, and spent over a decade of hard work in the high stress tech startup world in order to get where I am today. If it is okay for a very handsome man to attract women with good looks then it is no less okay for me to try to attract women with my hard earned wealth and success.

I'm fine with dating casually in order to meet more people, but I'm really hoping to eventually find a serious long term partner. I'm okay with having what some people call a "traditional relationship" where I am financially supporting my partner but I'm not expecting or specifically looking for that. I am not interested in having a sugar relationship, the difference being that the financial support would come with time and established trust, not as some kind of agreed upon condition of an "arrangement".
