Bachelors Number Three and Four

We downloaded profiles for two more potential donors earlier this week. I think they are now ranked #1 (tied with "Popeye?") and #4.

The one in fourth place (“DotCom” – because he was involved in an “Internet Bubble” business) sounds good, but his photo didn't really do anything for us. To be fair, he's probably around seven or eight years old in it, so it's hard to compete with the other guys' infant and toddler photos, but still. . . .

(As we say back home in Texas) I don't mean to be ugly but . . . he's kind of funny looking.

The other (“BowTie Boy,” because he’s wearing one in the photo, at maybe around two years old) is very cute with big brown eyes.

In the "staff impressions" part of the profile, they describe him as "tall, dark and handsome" and "an absolute teddy bear."

He's 6'3" / 251 lbs (maybe? summary profile says 251 lbs; medical profile lists his "usual weight" as 220 lbs), but says that he plays football and softball, and does triathlons and multi-day bike rides.

If he's doing all that, surely he's more muscular than "cuddly?"

Sidebar:
It's rather annoying that they don't provide information on either their percent body fat or at least a qualitative description of their body type, like "athletic" or "husky" or something along those lines. A high BMI (ratio of height to weight) is really meaningless for a man, unless you know how much of that weight is due to muscle and how much is fat.
At this point, I think we'll stick with these four guys, and will wait until we're closer to actually placing an order to get the adult photos of "Doc" and "Popeye" (the others don't have them).

If none of these work out, there are a couple of others that we have minor but not "deal-breaking" concerns about, whom we would look at next.
