What makes you a catch?

[JamSandle]

Thought it would be fun to reflect on what makes us each a catch.

I know this board can sometimes be a deflating place if we've had bad relationship or dating experiences.

So focus on what makes you a great parter and person and share it here!

I'll go first:

• I'm very adventurous and up for most things. I love travelling, exploring, getting out and about and also staying in bed all day and having a takeaway. I think im a fun person to be around and I enjoy life.

• I'm kind and thoughtful. I like leaving little notes for loved ones, picking up gifts for them. I'm very generous.

• I've always been told I'm very funny and make people laugh.

• I have a good job, am ambitious but not crazily so and do well with savings.

• I'm a cuddle monster. I love hugs.

• I'm a big communicator. I like to be straightforward once I'm comfortable with someone.

• I'm independent. I'm very happy in my own company a lot of the time and like a relationship to enhance life.

• I'm pretty. Maybe not the prettiest girl in the world but I'm pretty. And boobs. Great boobs.

Your turn!

I look after myself in all senses of the phrase. I will eat almost anything, I am kind and organised.

"But, in a thread about feeling good about yourself, why feel the need to piss on OP's chips? "

She doesn't sound insecure to me lol.

I make tasty unpretentious food.
Good roasts, casseroles, lasagne etc

Since this is an anonymous forum, fuck it:

I have a fantastic body. I am an exercise addict and have a thin, toned body that turns heads. I have big eyes, a nice smile and lush hair. A resting bitch face, sadly, but I’m working on that.

I also have a great career and my own flat in a nice part of London, but as PP said, no man I’ve ever met has cared a jot about that.

Decent boobs, good arse, amazing kisser. Funny with a killer sarcastic streak.

Good relationships with my family
Could pass for 10 years younger
Sense of humour
Wide range of interests
Financially secure
Eyes and bum

They may not care outwardly but if you didn't have a job then you'd be a gold digger and not worthy of a relationship, but good for sex.

I'm a positive person, and always look on the bright side.

I'm intelligent, quick-witted and playful.

I like a glass of wine every now and then, don't drink to get drunk, and enjoy good food.

I'm a great dancer, particularly with a partner, and love music.

I've got lots of curves, and really like my body shape and features (I would like my tummy to be a bit smaller!).

I earn a very good salary, own my house (with a mortgage) and have a car.

I like looking after people, though I am careful not to be taken advantage of lol

I'm struggling to think of anything.

I'm good at baking. I'm surprised by the number of people who can't bake a cake.

I've always been incredibly strong (no idea why) and I just look old and fat now but can pick men up and carry them. That has the element of surprise.

I like football, engineering and other traditionally male activities.

I'm quietly very funny.

Every single one of my relationships has been awful and abusive so I'm obviously not good at choosing men...

I make a very good cup of tea. I used to be pretty. I am quite sarcastic. I'm a fabulous singer and can do an amazing car-disco. I'm great at mum-dancing. I can't think of anything else. I must be good in bed and give a great BJ... 😂

I have zero disposable income but I've paid my mortgage off.

I don't drink, smoke etc.

I can survive on a couple of £ a week if necessary, make my own entertainment and eat and enjoy every food I've ever tried (except liver).

I am a social chameleon
I make people laugh
I can put flat pack furniture together no problem
I like video gaming and board gaming
I’m a good cook
I’m very good with money
I’m good at making something out of nothing

These are all things that DH has said what makes me great, I’m also usually very slim though I’m pushing size 12 currently due to a prolonged spate of illness.

I'm kind, funny, thoughtful, hard working, pull my weight,great in the sack and I'm beautiful.

I'm me.

For some people I'm a catch, for others I wouldn't be. I'm not a set of attributes, I'm a person.

I don't see DP as a set of attributes either. I can't think to myself "I love her but I'd rather she wasn't like this", because then she wouldn't be her, and wouldn't be the person I love.

I know this is a light-hearted thread but it just feels weird to me, like boiling a person down to a set of desired traits lessens them somehow.

I'm good in a crisis and.....nope that's all I've got.

I'm very laid back. My husband and ex boyfriends have all told me I'm easy to be in a relationship with - no angst or drama.

A catch probably means you have money.

I'm laid back too, calm and positive. I try not to make unnecessary dramas. I've been told I have a great energy, and am very patient. I am quite nice looking, although too fat these days, and like trying new things. Am happy to give any film/ book a go and will chat to anyone and try to find common ground. I'm not a huge extrovert but am nice to be around, and helpful to my friends and family. I am very inclusive and try to find ways of accommodating everyone.
I like cooking and can make a decent meal from random stuff lying around . If I drink I'm giggly rather than stroppy!

I have money 🙄

I’m kind.
I buy great presents and am v good at remembering birthdays.
I make people laugh.
i think I make people feel cared for.

Absolutely nothing; I have no redeeming features whatsoever 😮

I'm best left on the shelf, if that's alright with you 😍

I'm very kind and caring, open minded towards all kinds of people. I'm very loyal to my friends and family and if you're someone I love I'll do anything for you. I'm great with babies and children and my time as a single mum really made me come into my own. I'm generically attractive with massive boobs. I used to be a glamour model and now in my 30s have started doing bits of modelling here and there again, so at the very least, I look good on your arm.

Tall, not over weight and keep fit without having to spend hours in the gym
better than average looking
socially laid back and virtually impossible to offend, if someone is trying very hard
I know what i want work wise and have a successful career
I like to travel and see places and am reasonably cultured with have a variety of hobbies/interests
I dont sit in front of tv all weekend watching football.
I am also intrinsically monogamous

I can’t relate to this thread at all.

Probably also why I find dating profiles so cringey. Even though I can understand why people “big” themselves up in the market place.

Why not? What's wrong with listing your positive qualities?
