Frix does take his profession seriously. He might have pulled a little prank on Peggy, but he's not going to double dip in that same comedy salsa. Probably.
I was trying to think of things that (het) women like for Frix's last dialog bubble, and while that list is potentially fairly long, it could probably be easily sorted by rapidly diminishing consensus I think. I'm saying what men like is probably a little more predictable than what women like. For example, I saw a thread on r/AskWomen I think, about what women would change about their sexual partners, and quite a lot of the responses said they'd prefer it if men made a little more noise during sex. It makes sense, feedback is good. Although presumably they don't want their partners braying like Teri Weigel. To save the uncultured amongst you a google, she was a porn actress who was famous for, if nothing else, honking like a giant goose during her scenes. She was distractingly loud, is my point, and not in the traditional gasping/moaning/cooing way. More like someone trying to work a hand-cranked tornado warning siren.
Most women like muscular arms, but also, most women would be quick to tell you, "but not too muscular." Sure, some women totally go for Arnold in his prime, or The Rock or whoever, but I think the bell curve tops out on about a 17-19" arm. More the "just finished the Marvel boot camp" arm, than the "engorged tick ready to burst" look.
So I went with broad shoulders and domestic proactiveness. I could have used "tall," as that seems to be a thing most women agree on. Not necessarily towering, just tall enough so she can wear heels and still be slightly shorter. Honestly, the height difference between Frix and Sydney could eventually be problematic. A foot difference is fine. My wife is a foot shorter than me and I usually bend slightly at the waist to give her a smooch, but there's a 28" difference between Frix and Sydney, and that would eventually wear on his back if not for super space medicine. Also his upper arm is roughly the size of her torso, so it's not like he can't just very easily pick her up for a smooch. Also Sydney can fly, so there's that.

My wife and I had an 8” height difference. Never bothered us. Love conquers all. Also useful when dividing up storage. My stuff went on the top shelves, ours in the middle and hers down low. Worked fine for us.

There is broad shoulders and then there is arms the size of your torso.

Kim Catral in Porky's. What was her character's nick name? Lassie? And it wasn't because of her looks. I had a girlfriend who complained about having to tilt her head back to kiss. I picked her up by wrapping my arms around her waist, took her over to the stairs and plunked her down on the first step, that way we were about the same height. We normally had a... 6" height difference? That sounds right. She also commented that having too large a height difference means that during sex you're going to be kissing the pillow (or the headboard). I think Frix might have that problem with Sydney.
