Guys: What makes a girl a "catch"?

Question

Is it what she looks like? What type of personality she has? A combination of both? Feel free to go into detail.

Shypider · Accepted Answer

to me; a girl the is herself if the best girl. she doesn't worry about makeup, dresses the way she likes and is true to herself. i just really like that and i think lots of guys like that because these type of girls are pretty rare nowadays. girls often try to look like the model on the magazine and wear a ton of makeup but to me that is not pretty. id take a girl with her own sense of style, her own personality and that is all natural over a wanna be celebrity. all i really want is a REAL girl. doesn't matter if she doesn't look like a victoria secret model. (looks kind do matter but its more about hygene than actual physical appearance. a cute girl that doesn't take care of herself will look ugly in comparison to a not so cute girl that takes care of herself).

Also physical "size" doenst really matter. idc if my girl has small boobs or a small ass. it really doesn't mean anything to me

so to summarize, if a girl doesn't wear too much makeup, is nice, authentic, unique has a great personality.

Mesonfielde · Accepted Answer

Compatible and admirable behavior, respectable value system and attractive physical appearance. Primarily. It's an absolute plus if she's intellectually smart and hates Twilight.

Chelsea241 · Accepted Answer

CONFIDENCE. But not cockiness. You dont have to be drop dead gorgeous to be attractive. Men are a sucker for a confident and also an unattainable woman. Men naturally love to chance and there's nothing more intriging than a woman with mystery.

Not gonna lie, its probably about 80% body/looks and 20% approachability

Guys look to body more then behind that body --"

Finchie40 · Answer

If she has a good heart and good morals , she values a relationship and is loving and loyal , she isn’t selfish , she brings happiness into my life not misery , she works with me not against me , she is beautiful to my eyes , She wears my shoes like she expects me to wear hers when it comes to making decisions , She prioritizes me the same way I prioritize her , She doesn’t withhold intimacy and affection , intimacy and affection isn’t even an issue , We both make each other feel valued and wanted , she knows how to resist temptations the same way i do for her , Finding a girl like her is a girl i would stick with for the long haul , sadly it seems hard to find these days

Thewhitestdudeever · Answer

The older I get the more I realize that men and women find the exact same things attractive i their partner. Everything is important not just how the person looks, it's the confidence, the sence of humor and playfulness, the intelligence, posture, and hygiene as well as several other things. Yes a woman can be perfect physically but if the same woman was funny and smart and confident and had excellent posture and was basically on my level, that's the difference between a one night stand and my future wife. Sure I wana fuck barbie but now in the other hand Stacy over here is just a little less hot but she's got the personality that I crave I will go for Stacy every single time unless I'm just an asshole looking for a place to park my dick for a minute. So think about that, whatever personality traits you find attractive in a man are the same things that man will find attractive in you.

A "Catch" is hard to come by in today's market... lol

What make her a catch is probably a well balanced combination of things, obviously her physical looks , compatibility , her type of personality, if she is claim, soft spoken an sweet , affectionate an loyal , if she favors a little more to the delicate and feminine side , mentally an emotionally stable, someone the guy enjoys being around (not one he has to find excuses to get away form) she needs to be all these things while still being her self an that makes her a "catch"

Now if she is a good cook to that moves her status form "catch" to " trophy" ... lol

There are two basic things to catch and keep a guy , but there are dozens of ways to run the guys off

Meesterlijk · Answer

Some guys will state a girl is a catch when she's physically attractive (maybe even slightly out of their league). If a girl is hard to get and you succeed to establish something with her, that's great.
In my personal experience, a girl is a catch if I want to catch her. She can be short, tall, wear glasses or not, she can speak my language or another, she can be interested in me or she can be trying not to fall for me for whatever reason, etc. There is not something like a mark on these girls I consider a catch.
Personally I like girls with an open personality, who are cute but also have an edge. I don't want a girl who is like this all the time: "I don't know what I want to do, you can decide, I will do whatever you will come up with..."

PineappleBreath · Answer

I'll just cover the looks portion here. If your honestly not that great looking like a 4 or below, I can't define what a below average person looks like but you know what it looks like when you see it, then you just have to accept the fact that regardless of your personality you will end up with a guy that is probably pretty weird looking.

Now 5 or above, average looks and up, they don't really matter all that much beyond the initial attraction. I mean the main part is you put some kind of effort into your appearance. That means somewhat working out, being at least basic with makeup and having at least a vague attempt at a style. The big part that matters most is just being interesting and not boring, so have a Damn life worth talking about, actually listen and comprehend what the person you like is talking about, and just smile and crack some jokes. That's it when it comes to the importance of appearances.

Thrifty · Answer

I don't know. There are more and 'many fish in the sea' but I've been so disappointed with women that I don't even want to go fishing anymore.

I wish Jesus could just tell me to throw a net over the right side of the boat then the perfect girl for me will be caught.

But more than catching her, I desire to be able to love, appreciate, support and keep her forever because what could be worse and a waste to have the perfect catch but then line breaks?

I think the perfect catch would have characteristics of love, intimacy, harmony, and communication. Without these, even if you were with a total knock out, you wouldn't truly want to be with her and would continue searching. Am I right?

landlet · Answer

Going into detail. I like that. But there's not much need.
Looks are important when you're young. Eventually you'll want to end up with someone you like for other things than just looks. So when you're young and you're a guy, you'll probably looks are important. Then, as you get older, you'll start to value other qualities more than looks, perhaps you'll appreciate a girl being funny, or the kindness in her, or her loyalty. Depends, just like looks, it's in the eyes and heart of the beholder.
What I can tell for sure, no one appreciates stupid, evil bitches. So, if you picked that evil bitch for her looks alone, you're gonna be sorry eventually.

Mike87479 · Answer

I feel like it’s a combination. Although I’ll share a story. A few years ago I started work at a new location. I met a girl who I thought was drop dead gorgeous. Whenever I saw her I thought to myself there goes that hot girl, then my thoughts went back to whatever I was doing. After a few months I got to know her and we became work friends. She would play pranks on me like filling in my desk calendar with ridiculous tasks and simple drawings. I honestly was falling in love with her. I knew she was gorgeous all along but it wasn’t until I got to know her that I gained feelings for her.
Would I have felt the same way if she was unattractive? I honestly don’t know. But I do know I fell in love with her personality, and witty sense of humor. Sorry for rambling on but you said details are ok. Lol.

Xcommunicated · Answer

Her character, personality, body, complete package. As the song goes
She's got her daddy's money
Her mom as good looks
More laughs than a stack of comic books
A dynamite kisser
A good bass fisher
Country as a turnip green
College education
Wild imagination
Add it all up its a deadly combination

TallAnon · Answer

The general rule; When she adds to your life rather than detract.
If she demands a lot of time and money and gives nothing in return or thinks looking cute or having sex once a week makes up for it, she's not adding anything to your life.
When she goes out of her way to help out, that's what we like. We can survive on our own, we do our job, do the laundry and we can heat up a pizza, but when you make us comfortable, improve the quality of our lives, even if it's preparing one meal in a week, it's a positive.
We will put up with driving you places, carrying things, listen to your story and even be your emotional sponge, but if you're not adding anything in return, then at some point we do the rationalizing and lose interest.

Camallunt · Answer

A catch would be a girl who has the combination of decent looks mixed with interesting personality while being into what the guy is into. A catch usually has qualities that tend not to be found together.

For basic example a catch for me is a dark humoured alternative girl who likes animals and working out while having a nice bum and enjoyment of sex and kinks but also doesn't mind me playing video games.

Anonymous · Answer

Funny, loyal, doesn’t have to look like a supermodel, just someone I find cute in a sense. I don’t have a “preference per se”. She could be blonde, black hair, red head, brunette. Her body shouldn’t be draped in tattoos. She shouldn’t be doing drugs. I don’t want to find out she’s been passed around the town by other dudes. A girl who has intelligence and knows her history, religion and how this system works is a plus in my books. I think I’m a chill guy, so I would like to be with a chill girl.

Battooot · Answer

Yes a little bit of both. To me a catch would be a girl with really nice eyes, pretty face, and nice personality. I just lost a catch yesterday because she was insecure about herself and did not realize how much of a 'catch' she was to me :s. It sucks, it really really sucks, a girl like her should not have ANY insecurity..

RalphBlack · Answer

A woman can cause attraction by her beauty at first. She can be be beautiful all she wants but when a good guy wants something serious, then the woman has to be genuinely true to what her personality was to begin with. By saying that I mean she has to respect the guy. A good guy will do what he can to please his woman regardless but if a woman treats him like a hand towel then he's just gonna allow himself to float off into the wind and move on.

KeirAdams · Answer

In all honesty, its someone you feel that you get along with and they dont have to try to impress you and you like them for Who they are, looks aren't as important as girls think, in my opinion a 'catch' is someone that makes you smile whenever you see them

Anonymous · Answer

It's simple. She bucks everything modern feminism espouses as good. She is not independent, she loves and relies on her man. She does not hate helping him, she loves him and is grateful he is in her life. It is her delight and gratitude to give herself to him, after marriage.

She does not seek a job, furthering herself from him. She does not hold her heart hostage, she freely gives it to him.

She makes him happy. She completes him.

JacobJordan · Answer

not severely obese, genuine, kind, caring, respectful, supportive, understanding, encouraging, dresses like a lady, doesn't wear a ton of make up, doesn't smoke, drink, do drugs, party, little to no tattoos, is feminine (not to be confused with feminist), has no sexual past. maybe a couple things I missed but that is what I personally looked for in a partner. It was also the woman I found and married.

MaybeNormalQuestions · Answer

Well for me, it's the kind of girl that has an amazing personality. Also, I have to be able to relate to her in some way such as hobbies or other things we have in common. Looks are important of course, I mean, you have to look good to catch my eye. That's what makes a girl a "catch" for me.

jammasterjay · Answer

The girl next door. Naturally pretty and doesn't wear too much makeup. She's funny, intelligent, educated, passionate and trustworthy.

jokery56 · Answer

attractive (obviously), someone who is dependent and confident in themselves. but not to distant to where i can't play the knight in shining armor character once in a while. also she should have a great since of humor and have similar values and morals. (if her favorite pop tart is chocolate chip then that's a plus!) she should be comfortable to say anything around me and be honest and loyal, a nice person just in general wether around me or others.

ClauseViter · Answer

Any girl who can just make me radiate with happiness. A girl who's eyes I can stare into and just feel loved. Someone expressive and playful and just jubilant. As far as looks, I gave have no one preference, but I love colorful eyes, long hair, and a fit bod.

Electric_Dreams · Answer

Combination of both, obviously.

Mostly it's her aura though. How she is. If she smiles a lot, or well. Either or. And it's a damn cute smile and she has an awesome and cute laugh. And beautiful mesmerising eyes. There you go.

Crankor · Answer

That term to see feels associated to a very superficial gain. But to answer your question, it really isn't just one thing for everyone. It's tailored to each one's lifestyle and likes based on their version of reality. To sum it up, it's whatever that one guy feels like they have the best of looks, personality and intelligence according to their own preference.

AmeerX · Answer

It can be anyone. Average looks and good personality and tender psych is a recipe for a woman. I mean there is one woman who is dead gorgeous and then there is an average looking girl with a very good personality and shares my views then she is a keeper. I don't care if she is single mom even

mrz91 · Answer

If she's attractive with a personality I click with, that's very idyllic. But honestly, personality really really goes a long way and can totally make me fall for someone even if she's not that conventionally attractive.

AdamThomas · Answer

- Looks and acts feminine - Doesn't sleep around - Likes doing things for me e. g. cooking - Plus the usual shit e. g. honest, kind, caring, sense of humour etc.

Raaj4you · Answer

A girl who is not rude, arrogant, loud mouth and grumpy. A sweet, smart, feminine, soft spoken, humble, respectful girl is a good catch for me. When I find this type of girl I will not let her go no matter what. I will not hesitate to date, propose and marry her ASAP. I will apologize to her if necessary.

silver0075 · Answer

Anonymous · Answer

A bit of both. For everyone it's different, Others might not like the girls I like, I might not like the girls they like. So, be yourself, and don't give a shit, some people will appreciate who you are, and love you for it. The worst thing you can do is try to be "a catch". You'll be assuming you're not a catch.

smne35 · Answer

Looks yes that's first thing you notice, and if you brave enough to say hi, then you notice her personality how she respond to you, I have to say both personality and appearance and must add the maturity level of the guy

Immainlove · Answer

Every guy is different. For me I absolutely adore blondes, especially ones who act cute with 'blonde' comments. Girls never like me back though, but yeah, every guy is different. Usually just a mixture of both

Shiningtempest · Answer

For me, what makes a woman a "catch" is she gets my name right on the first try, punctual, doesn't change plans at the last minute, enjoy watching anime, enjoy listening to pop-punk rock, doesn't tell a white lie, & respects my rigid routine-based lifestyle.

Steven5-0Henderson · Answer

It depends on who you're asking. for the guy you're with it will most likely be a combination of both.. for his friends it will most like be your looks. It also depends on how long you have been together. when I started dating my girlfriend I was into her for her looks, but now ( 2 years later) Im really into her personality.

DaCrownlessKing · Answer

Intelligent, Nice Sense of Humor, Fun, Kind, and if she's funny that would be awesome. Rarely do females ever make me laugh.

4man101 · Answer

I like to go for a girl that has a good sense of humor. Has draping hair (ponytails I find are also good looking) and has a cute face. Also a very crucial thing that I look for is if the girl is anti-social or not around a guy. Meaning if she will talk to the guy with ease and not chicken out.

guitaryo · Answer

Depends on the guy and what he likes. For me she would either be foreign or a nerd. I love the nerdier plain Jane looking girls like Kristen stweartish. A lot goes into what makes a girl a true catch.

colaman94 · Answer

I think a "catch" is a girl who has something special about her personality-wise, something you can relate to, so it varies from person to person.
