S/O S/O: what gets a guy "bonus points"

Now I am the post hoar...

Not talking about requirements but if you meet a guy or see an online profile, what in your eyes give him bonus points?

For me:

Being very tall - like 6'4" or taller

Blue eyes

cops or firefighters

tattoos

rides a harley

If only I can meet a guy with all 5, I don't think he exists

  • I just read researchers at Duke U found that height and $ are the two main things women look for online.  For each inch shorter a man is he needs to earn 30G more to receive as many inquiries

    Forgot about $... Rich guys get DOUBLE bonus points!!!

  • He cooks

    He's tall

    He has broad shoulders (only because I'm not a slight woman myself and like it when a guy makes me feel small)

    Wears glasses

    He's artistic

  • Doesn't always have to be right

    Glasses part time (reading or at night)

    Good with kids (not just liking them but not knowing what to do)

    cops or firefighters

    This would make me run away. Quickly.

    My bonus points are:

    being tall

    being generous

    being kind to strangers (i.e. nice to servers, opens doors for people)

    a man who can cook!
