I leave the salary field blank because I was told that “$250,000-$500,000” seemed obnoxious, and that I should instead signal my income with the words “comfortably successful” in my profile, with a full reveal later. I’m not sure that that’s good advice; what do others think?
Your profile is hilarious. It reminds me of this. Which is to say, it’s sort of hard to take seriously. If the only thing you can think of to cut out of there to be less over-the-top is your income, then I guess leave income out, but I think you’d be better off putting income in and pruning a few of the paragraphs/sentences that you feel are less core to your personality from the text.

Of course, my profile might be obnoxious anyway. You tell me: http://www.okcupid.com/profile/TalkingHead68

Revised.
Now I’m curious about what it used to be like.
