[quote=Anonymous]This thread and the one about what makes a woman a catch are depressing.  It's no wonder so many marriages end in divorce.

I don't think there is one definition of a 'catch' for either sex.  It's really about what set of characteristics and flaws work well with your characteristics and flaws because everyone has flaws and weaknesses.   I'm usually a bit skeptical when people describe their spouses as perfect.  There is no perfect human.

I dated a lot of wonderful guys who weren't quite right for me.  My husband is wonderful in many ways, but he also has his issues -- as do I.  The reason I married him is because in addition to there being a very strong attraction between us, our quirks mesh well together.

I think a lot of women and men end up unhappy and/or alone because they get some notion of what their ideal mate looks like on paper and they spend a lot of time looking for that.  It's the entire person that matters and how well that person gels with you as a whole person.

It's fine to have some deal breakers (e.g., not wanting someone who lies or not wanting someone who cheats).  But I think it's kind of foolhardy to put together a list, like you're creating some Frankenstein in a lab.

Just my 2 cents.
