I would disagree. I think if you are a very attractive person with qualifying pictures then your profile is less important.
However if you're attractive in an average way then profile text can make or break.

I think this is irrelevant. Maybe if you don't fill in your profile as you mentioned above, it's more congruent to put whatever in the other fields but I find looking for dating works best. It means you're not looking for a relationship but you have more to offer than your penis.

This is the same as in real life, day game or night game. The same principles apply

I think that to be successful in the real world(day/night) or online you have to exude self-confidence and a perceived social value.
I really dislike the fact that people think just because it's online that it's a cop-out. I think it can be. If you have terrible AA and quite poor social skills you can hide behind a computer and fake it unlike when walking up to a girl in the street or in a pub.
But if you have all of your shit together offline then you can kill online...
