Lately I've been meeting women that seem to think JUST BECAUSE they have a great "shape" and are attractive, that makes them "top notch" and a "great catch".


Do they come out and say it? No. They say it in other ways with body language and attitude as if they're saying: "because I have a nice shape and a cute face, that makes me all of that and any man should be lucky to be with me. I'm doing him a favor" aura.







SIDE NOTE: No, this is not an slight on women. Since I am a straight male and only like straight women, my experience is only with women. I am sure it can be said for men as well. There is no need to say "men are the same way". This is not a men =vs= women thread.

Yes you are a great catch if you have the looks to begin with. Just to start off with.

But that's all that will happen, just a "start off", if there's not a good personality to back up the looks. Within one conversation, the good-looking person, whether male or female, will get the dump.

Are you starting a series of threads "so you think you are a great catch". Last time you had issue with a girl who is a home owner and has a stable job.

If they don't come out and say it, you should adjust your perception. Attractive and confident women know that they are great catch and would act accordingly. Most guys do feel lucky to be with them, unless they are severely lacking in some other major way.

I'm starting to think that maybe you are intimidated by these financially secure and attractive women (who didn't even say that they are great catches).

Both women and men with what people would rank 8.5+ looks think they are "great catches" based on that criteria alone. Sometimes, they feel they don't have to develop to their full potential because of this. Therefore, no, people like this are not necessarily "great catches." But try convincing THEM of that.

LOL.................dang. You actually take time to remember what these people post. Good grief. Once I log off, I don't even remember what I post let alone what someone else posted weeks, days or hours ago.

Before you write out an argument, keep in mind that this is all based on OP's perception. These women never claimed to be great catches, they just "act" like they are, according to the OP.

My question for OP is, when is it anyone's business if one (and an attractive one at that) decides to act like a great catch?

Doesn't sound like these women are the ones with the problem.

Just sayin'...

It actually doesn't take me any time or effort to remember things (if it does for you, you have my deepest sympathy), I have a naturally good memory, unfortunately I tend to remember bizarre and pointless things, so chances are I will remember your name. Damn.
