Looking at your wishlist, the only card I could send you right now is an early seventies map card from somewhere Iāve never been to in Wales. I would feel bad about it because you sound nice.
Thanks for the feedback. I tried to highlight that I acutally collect viewcards and any veiwcard would make me happy. Usually those are the ones almost everyone The other things listed are just special themes but a view card would not make me less happy.
I am sorry that was not clear. Do you have suggestions about how to rewrite? Or to make it any clearer? Maybe I should list general view cards as top of the list?
Edit: I tried to rephrase my profile so I hope things will get clearer now. Still I am happy for any suggestions. I do not want to give people the impression I am demanding things.
Thatās the trouble, not all of us have access to view cards. Where I live, you can only buy view cards in one tourist information shop and one bookshop. Even if they were open, it would not be safe to go there. We are in tier 3 meaning a very high alert level.
Iāve managed to buy some bulk lots of cards off eBay but they are much older than I am and none show my area. Iāve got plenty of other cards to send. I donāt even like view cards myself.

Yes, I think that would it make 100% clear, that you like viewcards the most. It would be a bit repetive in your profile, but I don`t see a problem in here.

I have the same problem about view cards. If people ask for view cards from my area I cannot provide these either. However I always buy a lot when traveling.
Since you do not like viewcards yourself I get why you do not have many of these in stock. I find myself buying cards that I personally like (even if those are not the cards I collect).
But thanks, I try to make clearer that still other cards are welcome as well. As in official Postcrosing the sender can send whatever they want I am totally OK with that. So I try to make that clearer as well. Thank you.
@Jarana: Thanks for the feedback. I did not really put that I like viewcards on Top of my list as a bullet point but above all I tried to highlight that fact.
I just got back into Postcrossing and found the new forum. And I must admit that some topics have made me feel a bit insecure about my profile 
(I know itās a personal issue of mine, Iām working on it 
)
I myself like to get profiles with wishlist because I enjoy the hunt and creation of sending a āperfectā card. So I have added a wishlist to my profile, but I donāt want to come across as demanding in any way! I donāt want to put off people, especially newbies.

Hey Manon, looking good, not demanding at all!
For me the list feels very long, but thatās mainly because you listed your favourite artists. Maybe when you write them between brackets behind the last bullet, that will just give another view of the same.
As indeed the feeling that you have a perfect matching card is great, but you need some info for that!

I agree with this - the long list of names means nothing to me and itās just confusing.
Do they all fit in a category? Would saying something like builders (such as Bob or Wendy) be enough? It would make it a lot easier to read.

In my opinion a list is better than just putting the names after each other. To me itās easier to read and find the name I might have when they are listed.

I agree, itās easy to scan through the name list, if I think I might have some art card, so I would leave it as it is. Also, I think itās good that itās at the end of the list, so itās not confusing.

I also are for a name list, that seem cleaner than a write them in one long line.

Thank you so much for all your input 
so helpful!
I will add the note that it is a list of artists for clarity @elanlei.
But I will leave it as a list. I think that would be easiest to read.
I did indeed put it at the bottom to make it easiest @S_Tuulia

Itās perfectly fine!
If you can, somehow, shorten it a tiny bit.
I have made better experiences with shorter profiles. From my experience, when the profile is too long many people donāt read it. With shorter profiles I have gotten more cards that match my wishes (however I donāt really care, the message is the most important thing to me).
I donāt mean you need to shorten the text (mine is just as long I would say) but get rid of a few of the blank spaces at the bottom (it will seem shorter and people wonāt be that overwhelmed).
I would say that yours is definitely too long. I would shorten it. I have had much better experiences with shorter profile texts. I think many people are overwhelmed by long profiles and donāt read them.
Also the āwhat kind of postcard would I like to receiveā-part is pretty far down so some people might overlook it.
I find the last part unnecessary as well. Donāt get me wrong, I would hate to receive postcards with any of these themes as well. But I donāt think many people send these cards and if they do they probably wouldnāt care anyway whether youād want them or not.
Overall you profile is very nice

My only suggestion would be to check for some grammatical errors (mostly punctuation and capitalization), but thatās just the writer in me talking. Despite that, itās easy to follow and friendly.
