Why does Ichabod Crane like Katrina Van Tassel?

Ichabod found Katrina beautiful, and he was also attracted by her family's comfortable lifestyle.

Ichahod Crane had a soft and foolish heart towards the sex; and it is not to be wondered at, that so tempting a morsel soon found favor in his eyes, more especially after he had visited her in her paternal mansion. Old Baltus Van Tassel
was a perfect picture of a thriving, contented, liberal-hearted farmer.
