alphamale Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 In essence - she creates no drama and gives no demands. dude I don't know what you're smoking but I want some
Woggle Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 To me it is just another word for low drama. A woman can be made up and dress like a fashion model and still be no drama and a pleasure to be around or she can go out sweatpants and a t shirt and be a nightmare. 2
Curiousroxy86 Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Then why are very beautiful women stigmatized as high maintenance just by their looks? People accuse attractive women as being high maintenance but if maintenance means needs, then its affair to assume that someone less attractive isn't high maintenance just because they dont "look" needy... Not everybody sees people who like to do things to beautify themselves as "high maintenance" or at the least don't mind it. The people who have a problem with it are the people who use the term. The men tend to prefer more natural looking women and the women who use the term tend to go for the more natural look. It's not their preference. Again goes back to incompatibility or differences that is too important to one or both to overlook.
Curiousroxy86 Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 haha Curiousroxy86, how about we add this: one is a man and one is a woman I do sometimes wonder if I am incompatible to men in general

For the same reason other groups are stigmatized & discriminated against. Lots of groups get picked on unfairly. That said, there is a bit of a trend in the answers you received to your Q. Many people think that somebody who takes too long to get ready is high maintenance. A beautiful woman with flawless makeup in a fashionable outfit did not just roll out of bed & throw that together. There was effort that went into the look in advance. Some folks consider that effort to be high maintenance & the stereotype was born. That does not mean it's universally true but it is your explanation about how it came to be 2
Viva_70 Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 I like dressing up to the nines every day but pay for all of it myself. Am I high or low maintenance? 1

If you choose someone like you , you are not ,while if you marry A man who is saving every penny to buy a house for the family and getting his clothe only on sale , you would definitely be high maintenance for him Edited February 25, 2019 by zouz71 1

thefooloftheyear Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 I was always under the assumption that someone who was considered "high maintenance" is a woman who needs constant attention, tweaking, massaging, etc.. Think of it the same way as an older car...It drives ok, but you never know when something needs attention...May make a noise one day, get a flat the next, then the check engine comes on..etc...You just can't get in and drive it with confidence...there is always something popping up that requires attention...Its kinda the same deal.. I think some of you are confusing it with someone who looks good or takes care of themselves.. Most of the women I have known like this I wouldn't consider high maintenance...They are usually confident and self assured and generally aren't the type as i described above, but they certainly could be..

Still high maintenance?
zouz71 Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 What if I buy the family house for him and I ? Still high maintenance? If you don't require attention all the time Zero maintenance 1
d0nnivain Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 What if I buy the family house for him and I ? Still high maintenance? High maintenance because now you are factoring in money as power dynamic & you need to be on top. Rather then high v low find somebody with whom you are compatible. My cousin, a guy, is extremely high maintenance -- tony address, fancy cars, high profile friends, fashionable clothes, lavish vacations. He only dates women who run in those circles.
alphamale Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 He only dates women who run in those circles. and most of them are gold diggers
oldtruck Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Gets up when she does not have to and makes me breakfast, then packs me lunch, has super ready when I get home. Fresh towel and clean clothes for the shower after supper. Always gets the lawn mowed before the weekends. That is a low maintenance woman. She greatly reduces the amount of maintenance work that I would have to do myself.
todreaminblue Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) <snip>That is a low maintenance woman.

It's not just women. I will confess to viewing guys who work out building visible muscles as being high maintenance. I could just never go there. However I had no problems with guys who just did general fitness stuff. Go figure. 1
Amy1992 Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 People who are low maintenance are laid back, warm, easy and fun to be around. High maintenance people have rigid routines, cold take themselves very seriously and lack a sense of humour. Classic high maintenance right here 2
