What are women really looking for?

I would love a female perspective here. What do you all (I could've said "yall" but I refrained) look for in a man?
I know this is a very general question, but I want you to be specific.
Imagine that through the marvel of modern technology there was such a thing as a "Man Store". You could go in and custom order your perfect guy. A week later, your new man would be ready for pickup (or delivery if you so choose). He of course would be madly in love with you. :-) What physical characteristics would you choose? Would you want him to look just like Adrian Paul? (lol, just kidding). Be shallow if you want. If you want him to have 6-pack abs, say so. What about personality? When you were ordering your man, any detail that you left out would be automatically chosen. So, if you did not specify a hair color it could be whatever.
Look forward to reading your responses.

Be patient with me
Be able to surprise me, or be spontaneous

he has to like cats and dogs
have a car (preferably a convertible BMW...but anything with a sunroof will do!)
has to have nice muscles, especially arms and back
has to dress nice
be romantic, loving, tender, sweet, genuine, generous, intelligent, attentive, funny, good looking, rich, witty, spontaneous, etc.
finally...
A man who WORSHIPS THE GROUND I WALK ON!!!!!!!!
Loves children; strong devotion to family and friends; Intelligent, ambitious, decent job (at least $35,000 per year - which is good for the area I live in), funny & charming, loves movies, music, art, museums. Romantic and spontaneous with a great memory for special dates, anniversarires, etc. Extremely honest; 100% faithful.
Physically - between 5'7 and 5'11; brown or blond hair (nice hair too - not thinning too much); reasonably good shape with great shoulders and arms (six pack not required though - don't really care for that personally); great teeth and smile; blue or brown eyes; nice lips (not too thin).
Okay...I could go on and on...weird thing is my ex-husband had all those physical traits - almost all of the personality ones too - except the honest and faithful part - I would trade a lot of the physical traits away for someone with all of the first grouping in a heartbeat - looks fade.
I love blue eyes that look like the ocean. I like tan skin and dark hair. But really that stuff doesn't matter that much to me. I look for the personality with someone and whether we have a connection or not.
So if i am being too nosey you can tell me but why are you so interested? And what do you look for in a girl?
Look forward to your response! Have a blessed day!
I love a man who's into sports and is into keeping in shape/athletic. Being in my 40's - when I was doing OLD, alot of the men seem to have let the "athletic" part go...so it was real important that in order for him to be a "keeper" he had to be in shape. Also - I wanted someone who was my age but was "young at heart". I'm kind of a wild-child so I needed someone who still loved to "party like a Rock Star" (lol), but also be totally responsible and ethical - have a good heart and a great sense of humor. I am lucky in that I finally found that man on Yahoo Personals! :)
