Yep. Which imply a value judgment of their attractiveness.
I don't mesh well with super outgoing/extroverted people, so "C" is most likely a no. And I'm not a pickup truck kind of woman, and the vision I get is a Midwestern or Southern guy with his "manly man" personality. Not my thing.
So... that leaves "A" who I may have things in common with. He'd be educated, and the "timid" part may imply he's introverted. But "boring" is a negative value judgment, and is quite subjective. Boring in what way, exactly? Is he a complete fun sponge? Is he only absorbed in his work, doesn't have any interests or hobbies, isn't part of a large social group? Or, is he introverted? He likes to relax, read, is more of a homebody, writes, draws, has a small group of friends, prefers small gatherings, is more introspective and cerebral? All of which can seem boring to others, especially really extroverted types who need to "do" things, and be "on" all the time. If "A" is, say, 5'8" or 5'9" he'd likely be my pick if I were being set up with someone and these were my options. Switch out the incomes between "A" and "C" and the former would still pique my curiosity more so than the others.
I'm just going to quote this because I had a similar reaction.
While I do like some extroverts, not so much the energizer bunny types (who exhaust me, even if they can be charming). I don't mind a cognitive extrovert who is more ambiverted in interaction style though.
The "boring, timid" guy might be fascinating to me, and he seems to have potential to be the most intellectual. Of course, I'd prefer someone in better shape. I'm 5'7 but have dated men shorter than me, and 5'8 is no deal-breaker. The income means even less to me. 30K and my income is plenty for a lifestyle I'd be comfortable with.
I'm a man (well, a guy) and I pick A! 100,000$ a year is something! That's not only about the money, though. It depends on the personality. I like that personality described there.
I want to date a hippie woman who owns a van with two sleeping bags in the back and drives around looking for enlightenment.
Seriously... what is with the obsession with jobs and possessions on this site? I think it's probably a big part of why everyone is so socially retarded.
These guys sound so generic. I wish there was an option for neither, either or, or possibly any combo of the above.
Same here. As an accountant, I found the use of the "boring" stereotype insulting. Why can't the yoga instructor be boring-as in all she talks about is fitness and nutrition?
Right now, I could use a little boring in my life, truth be told.

And not all women want a man who towers over them. At 5'4," I'm ideally looking for someone who is 5'5" - 5'9", maybe 5'10" tops.

Depends on where you live. I pulled up a random cost of living comparison site. Based on my current salary, I'd need to make $116k in NYC and $103k in San Fransisco but only $73k in Fort Lauderdale and $62k in Las Vegas to maintain my current standard of living.
I wouldn't pick any of the options, really. You should have had at least one option for an intellectual who may be overweight and may not be rich but was interesting and might win a Nobel!
But I picked a male B because I've learned over time that a person who can do practical things well is worth his or her weight in gold.
It doesn't matter how much money you have - having money doesn't guarantee that you'll successfully be able to hire a good handyman to fix the well/catch the raccoon/fix the brakes.
At this point, if I could find a good handyman I'd marry him no matter how dumb, poor, or ugly he is. And really, a good handyman is unlikely to be either dumb or poor.
