I question women who think that having hair and nails done makes them a good catch somehow. lol
Honestly? Yeah, that part of the OP's initial post kinda made me go, "Huh—?"
Sensible women don't need to sit in salons and day spas to get "done." I know how to paint my own nails and touch up my own hair color, thank you very much!
I went out with a lady that I met on OKC on Friday night. We had a great conversation.
What got me was, she thinks she's a good catch because she: owns a home, has a job and keeps her hair and nails done.
I find a lot of women think "things" are what entitles them to being a "good catch"
Most guys don't care about that.
We pretty much focus on 2 things: Are you "attractive" to us and are you a "cool person".
Everything else is somewhat minor. As it relates to jobs/title, as long as you can take care of yourself without doing anything illegal, that's all that matters.

Your thoughts?
If this woman is anything like me, maybe she's heard enough guys p*ss and moan about golddiggers to feel that she needs to highlight her employment status and homeownership. And the hair and nails - I guess this statement was to emphasize that she takes care of herself physically as well. So, she can do for herself, and maintains her appearance as well, out of her own wallet. What's wrong with that?

Athough it is not a requirement that she have a her own home and a job, it is definitely a positive that she does. If anything, it implies that she is with you because she wants you, not needs you. So, yeah...she's a catch.
Well I guess you can take me out of the catch bucket, although I do have my own home I am currently unemployed and just retired. I'm not a clothes horse, don't wear makeup and not into jewelry. I do get my hair cut on a regular basis but I don't do my nails. However I do have an outrageous sense of humor and a very content person. Basically if a man or anyone actually doesn't like the way I am then can just move on - its just "tuff".
I think if your trying to determine if someone is a catch you should be looking down the road not just the right now. Would you still feel the same way with this person when your 80.
You have the best posts. And C-D won't let me rep you for all of them ... darnit.
I think that what a woman chooses to share with a man is indicative of what kind of man she wants to begin with. I would never brag about getting a higher education or solid work history. However, it is something that I always told prospective S.O.s about, because the type of man I wish to attract and keep deeply cares about these kinds of thing. He cares that I'm able-bodied, willing to work and that I can contribute to the household. He doesn't want a SAHM type that he'll support for at least 18 years (or even life).
Because I have always worked, my "domestic skills" aren't up to par. I never had the time to hone my skills in cooking, quilting, canning or gardening. I don't have the time to clean house as often as I like, and when I have downtime, I choose not to spend it sitting in a day spa for a mani-pedi.
There are men who do want a more dependent woman. They live for that. I was married to one, and it did not work out for either of us.
I just registered to agree with you both
It is very difficult to find a man who recognizes and appreciates a good work ethic in a woman as much as they appreciate a pretty face or big boobs.
