Thoughts on this as dating intro?

Instead of describing myself, I put this.

Better to say who I’m hoping to find. A friend first who doesn’t mind texting and a dating partner. I’ll help pay, not looking to break your bank. Usually on the weekend: a restaurant, movie, concert, comedy club, museum, area events, or a night at one of our homes with conversation, dinner, and little to no alcohol. As I do, he takes care of things, his things, and himself. Marriage is not on my mind. I’m not a great cook. Don’t live 50 miles or more away. Good luck to us! 🙂

I like what you're trying to do. Especially naming the places you want to go and making clear you're not only going to want to hang out at home after the first couple dates - which I find to be a common theme, usually because going out is expensive. Maybe say you're up for splitting costs right after you list the places.

I do think you should say more about you. Whenever I'm on a dating app, I get the ick when someone has a list of demands of what they want their partner to be, with no real description of themselves. (Your description is nothing like that, did not give me the ick, but I'd like to know a little more about you in the description.)
