Random "bonus points"

I was talking to the guy I'm dating (does three dates count as "dating"? lol) when I discovered that he is also an Apple/Mac person. He said, "I'll probably never own another PC." That is exactly the way I feel about it and so I decided that he had just moved up a couple of notches in my book. (He was in need of some bonus points anyway since he can't dance and that is definitely some negative points :laugh: ).
I've always joked that the guy I end up with will have to be an Apple fan. Okay, okay, I would overlook it if he wasn't, but I do really like the fact that this guy is an Apple fan. I know it probably makes no sense if you're not an Apple fan, but just understand we Apple users are very loyal to our brand :laugh: .
I'm just curious, what little random things might earn someone 'bonus points' for you?

She is also a musician, or she beats me at music trivia!
In regards to your post, as an Apple/Mac user, I completely get it and it's awesome! :glasses:0 -

i'm curious...im a dancer.....but why does he have to be an "apple fan"? what does that mean exactly?0 -
1) Star Wars fan
2) hates Starbucks. I'm not much of a sports guy. I like only 3, soccer/futbol, baseball and basketball. Being from the Seattle I don't care for the CEO or the brand after he sold the Seattle Supersonics to the Benett guy and he moved the team to OKC.
3) doesn't like to dance :laugh: yah I'm horrible at it0 -
Fan of the game super mario or mario kart. :laugh:
So many of those though...0 -

Agree that the Sonics should still be in Seattle. That whole situation was a disaster. OKC should have the Hornets.
The Seattle sports scene isn't that great with the Mariners & Seahawks.0 -
ok, bonus points if he:
* likes driving (cos I don't much, especially long distances)
* likes cooking (cos I dont much, especially every day...lol)
* likes playing with feet (cos I Loooooooooove my feet being tickled )
:bigsmile:0 -
He must love dogs, specifically MY dog Lucy! The real truth is that SHE must love HIM though...I trust her instintcs about people more than my own sometimes.0
-
- gets that I hate movies like Harry Potter, Star Wars, etc and doesn't make fun of me like everyone else!0
-
If he likes country music!!! Major points! Actually, I'm having a hard time not making it a complete deal-breaker if he doesn't, hehe
Gotta pick your battles I suppose! 0 -

YUP! My little Boston Terrier, Oliver, who wouldn't hurt a fly, nipped at a guy the first time he came to my house. It was the first time he'd done that to anyone...the guy turned out to be a real d-bag...dogs know the truth!!! 0 -
Bonus points if he loves Hockey and doesnt like or have cats.0

*Being a coffee drinker at the very least, if not a lover of it like I am.
*A man that understands physical labor and has no problem picking up a shovel or a hammer.
*I love muscle cars, the smell of gasoline and oil, and busting my knuckles working on things. I love it when a man gets this but also knows his way around a shop.
*Huge plus in his favor is not being a gaming addict. There's too much real world out there to enjoy!!
These reasons may be why I am so attracted to older men. Unfortunately, men my age tend to be far too plugged in for my tastes and don't have the stance/presence that older men have.0 -
Some random "bonus points" for me are:
- if they are a musician (specifically if they can play the piano, guitar, and/or drums)
- loves the beach
- would go hiking or play outdoor sports and activities
- play video games and boardgames
- likes to watch movies
- likes museums, broadway shows, plays etc.
- likes theme parks
- likes to read "just because"0 -
Gamer for sure. (Not sure if this is just bonus points. It may be mandatory at this point.)
Foodie.
Fitness lover.
Clean freak! Oooo this makes me so happy.0 -
Bonus points if he's more than just a passing fan of Bon Jovi or Bruce Springsteen.

Bonus points if she's an apple hater...
just kidding haha
If she doesn't use facebook that's a plus in my book.
Bonus for being a fan of any of the following: Hockey, Rush, or Monty Python.
Also if she actually enjoys the movie Kung Pow I think I'd fall instantly in love.0 -
A couple of mine would be:
- plays video games and enjoys RPGs
- likes to read/expand knowledge
- likes to workout/health conscious
- a little nerdy, maybe
- Linux user
- enjoys football0 -
i'm curious...im a dancer.....but why does he have to be an "apple fan"? what does that mean exactly?
Means uses an Apple computer or Apple/Mac products verses a Windows-based computer. It's not an absolute must, but it is something I like. Call it severe brand loyalty, lol.0 -
* likes driving (cos I don't much, especially long distances)
Me too! I hate driving and I pretty much assume the guy is gonna drive when we're together.
I should also add:
-opens car doors. In my experience, most guys open doors, but not all open car doors. (really just when I get in, getting out feels over the top).
-is the same church denomination I am0 -
Bonus points:
- if he knows who Three Dog Night is (I like a lot of types of music)
- doesn't have kids (has kind of become a deal breaker)
- likes to do outdoor stuff
- handyman (major points!)(not necessary for him to be Mr. Fixit just willing to try)0 -
- Valid Passport
- Football fan
I have a few more, but I'm not sharing those on a forum.0 -

She is also a musician, or she beats me at music trivia!
What kind of musician though? I mean, there are quite a few genres out there!!0 -
Definate bonus points for a football lover .. HUGE ups if you are a Steeler fan. I will ditch you if you are a Ravens fan however.
Hockey lover.
Love guys that wear their baseball hats backwards.. so very sexy.
if you cook for me, I may marry you.0 -
Ones I can think of:
- Loves Hockey, Soccer, Baseball, and Lacrosse (Being a Yankees or Habs fan could be a dealbreaker though)
- Does not own an Apple Desktop/Laptop (probably just as severe a brand loyalist as the Original Poster in the opposite direction despite owning an iphone and Ipod touch)
- Always goes Coke over Pepsi (Even more radical of a brand loaylist when it comes to Coke/Pepsi)
- Not a Vegetarian (Vegan is a complete deal breaker)
- Not a Hippy
- Thinks "All Inclusive Resort" is a blasphemous term
- Likes to dance (being good is irrelevant as I am awful)0 -
hates organized religion...
be still my beating heart0 -
Sports fan - Baseball is a must but must also like different types of sports including NASCAR (Yankee, Cowboys, and Laker fans are deal breakers though)
Runner - I would like someone that could also be my running partner
Not a video game player (I love board games but don't like sitting in front of a computer/tv playing games)0 -
soccer, guys that speak spanish :laugh: (or at least understand it), and guys who can dance!0
-
Here's a few....
Romantic and emotionally expressive :blushing:
Self Employeed Entrepenure type
Intelligent but not pretentious
Articualate without stealing the show
Witty but not obnoxious
Playful but not childish
Health Conscious & athletic but not obssessed with self or sports
Loves to travel and stay home
Has a English, Italian or Austrailian accent
Has a full head of curly hair
Likes sopntinaety but isnt overly impulsive
Someone who appreciates quality entertainment like Live Theater, the Ballet & the Symphony
History/Geography buff
Family Oriented, Patriotic, Conservative and has a true Love for God 0 -
Ability to dance properly ie. with a partner, in some traditional or latin style is a big 'plus' in my book.
Speaks 'quote' ie. understands/can quip back when I quote a play/film/lyric/famous person
Not afraid of a little public whimsy/silliness.
Sometimes though, the best 'bonus' points are the things you never thought to hope for.0
