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
Re: S/O S/O: what gets a guy "bonus points"
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)
Bear hugs
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!
