Revealed: Vladimir Putin's online dating profile

In case you hadn't heard, Russian President Vladimir Putin is getting a divorce from his wife, Lyudmila:

The First Couple of the Kremlin made the announcement on national television while dressed in formal wear, with the stiffness of wax statuettes and the careful orchestration of the ballet they had just finished watching. It was meant to be a rare bit of candor from a man whose government has guarded his family affairs as closely as the codes in his nuclear suitcase. But it mostly served to reaffirm the rule Russians have long gotten used to: everything about Putin’s life is a secret unless he dictates otherwise.

According to the Kremlin, Putin is in a committed relationship with Mother Russia.

But in case he's still looking for love, Foreign Policy's Joshua Keating compiled an OKCupid online dating profile for the newly single world leader.  From it, learn a few fun facts about man behind the machismo:
