View Profile History	High Maintenace Posted : 13 May, 2011 01:35 PM I know a lot of guys who don't want a girl who costs money like she's high maintenance but want her to look high maintenance. Sort of like those guys who say they prefer women don't wear makeup or nice looking clothes, but then don't date them -because- they don't look pretty enough, or don't dress just as they'd like them to. But "I want you to look nice, I just don't want to pay for it." sounds like a mean thing to say, so they don't say just that. Post Reply

View Profile History	High Maintenace Posted : 13 May, 2011 06:18 PM High Maintenance is when a person constantly has to "manage" things for another otherwise the other person breaks down and so does the relationship. How who you like to have a car that everytime before you go somewhere you have to air up the tires, put oil in it and charge the battery? Btw, I really do love gals with little or no make up in boots and jeans..Oh yeah! Post Reply

If they wouldn't wear something nearly brand new just because someone else used to own it, she's probably too high maintenance for me. Also, she wouldn't approve of most of my dress clothes.

View Profile History	High Maintenace Posted : 14 May, 2011 09:27 AM I am getting to the point that I desire to be No maintenance or "maintenance free" even free from maintaining myself. It may not be a Bible verse, however I am all for letting go of maintenance and letting God maintain. Wow, what freedom there would be if I could do that 100%! Post Reply
View Profile History	High Maintenace Posted : 14 May, 2011 09:28 AM When I hear "high maintenance" I think more along the lines of what Two was getting at. I don't immediately think of someone who has expensive tastes in life that is an entirely different issue in my opinion though it can stem from the same issues that make someone high maint. To me HM is someone who may be needy needs regular reassurance, someone who at times you need to walk on egg shells around to keep happy, someone with a roller coaster personality up and down a lot and occasionally upside-down. Relationships take work, effort, and commitment. I think of it as becoming a sense where one person often has to go above and beyond in order to maintain the relationship. In all fairness I think this is often thought of as a problem with women only, but there are some guys out there who are HM as well. To me it's more a personality trait than a money thing. Where a person is trying to find satisfaction or validation in something other than their relationship with God. I do also want to say that I'm not saying it's wrong for someone to want to be reassured in a relationship and we all do have our ups and downs. As a guy I think we should be aware and care about her well being spiritually, emotionally, physically etc. Being HM is one thing but as a guy we shouldn't be totally hands off either don't trade one extreme for the other and end up with a distance in the relationship that's equally as bad.

Mind you, I think women do it as much to compete with each other as they do for attracting men. I've never really understood the point of wearing make up, etc. once you're dating someone, after all, they've noticed you and surely you shouldn't still be advertising yourself to others at that point? Some guys will of course want an ornament on their arms when they go out in public, but personally as long as she's clean and decent then that's all that I ask. My ex was at her sexiest when she came home in her work clothes with her hair a mess, not when she tried to look it... Post Reply
