I'm assuming you are female, though the same is more or less true if you are a male. You are being compared to a fish, with the men in the world being the fishermen. They are casting about for a mate, and if they catch you, they will be more fortunate than if they catch your friends. I suppose you look better, act nicer, cook better, make more money, or something.

With respect to marriage, a "catch" is who you married. It could be the same with dating. Maybe your friends were betting on which girl would pick which guy in your group to date, and you were considered the "better catch" of the two top people!

It means that you are the better catch than the one that was named something of a high standing. Like you are a better catch than the prom queen etc.

It means that within your group of friends, you are considered the most marriageable, or best girl friend material. You're the Mary Ann* in a roomful of Gingers -- the one a man is most likely to want to take home to meet his mother.

ok if your not clever enough to figure it out you do not deserve the vote. but it means your the most desirable for a mate.

in a dating sense it could mean you're better dating material than your friends.
