The thing is, both have their advantages and disadvantages. Low maintenance is easy, just get her heaps of mcdonalds and other rubbish and she's happy. But also probably a big fat humpty-dumpty looking thing.
High maintenance you have to waste a lot of money trying to please her, but she's more likely to be a hotty so its much nicer drilling it.

pinkdiamond3: High or low maintance women?


I like a challenge. grin

High maintenance is NOT money. Not with Scots. It's all about making her feel special and that she has your heart your thoughts and your undivided attention. You CAN do that with money, of course. More effective to do it with your actions.

Low maintenance women don't really care. High maintenance women, the more you put in, the more you get back. heart beating JMO.

What's this "high/low maintenance women" nonsense? Low maintenance suggests that she's not worth a little effort and if that's the case, why bother?

Speaking for myself, I don't like being labelled

In their reckoning, either we are not worth the trouble, or we are too much trouble and therefore not worth it.

It makes it sound that before you make that commitment you should consider the "running costs" as you would before you purchase a car. A woman is not property.
If you fell in love with her and part of that was the way she presented herself, took care of herself then it should never be a consideration.
I would suggest perhaps any man that thinks like that is out of his league.
What makes you think that men do not have there expensive tastes? I certainly do. wine

I think there may be different interpretations of what low and high maintenance means (and it is not just women I am talking about)

To me, high maintenance people expect more than they put in to the relationship, so the other partner is always under duress to live up to their expectations.

In contrast, low maintenance people, give at least as much as the other person in the relationship, and don't expect more than they give.

I,ve never looked at it in that way, my first real g/f I bought a gold bracelet I wasn't trying to buy her, it felt the gold expressed my true feelings for her (gold).

I don't think it's worth getting cheap presents if you really have feelings for a girl. Jmo.

I totally agree.

That doesn't make her high maintenance though.

If she Expected the gold bracelet, whether you could afford it or not, then that would be high maintenance in my books.

Yes, she thought it was imitation gold at first, but really appreciated it as a thought of lovegrin

Equally, I would consider partners who expect their dinner on the table when they get home from work, even though their partner is also working, to be high maintenance.

Meanings can go either way...but a few years ago, decide to try some home grown CS talent and chatted with this lady....local.

OMW, this most obnoxious, seemingly erudite, intelligent person posted this.....

"Go on a cruise, but only if there is a man with a bucket load of money to fulfil this bucket wish! Weeks on end just cruising the ocean and stopping at unheard of ports!"

"Then this same man can pay, and spend a week with me in the Seychelles! The most beautiful part of the world - a little bit of heaven...."

My response..."Only if I'm allowed to punch ya in da head first...!"

Ladies that say money is not an object when looking for a partner are not always believable!
Which reminds me of a Mark Twain quote.
" I'm opposed to millionaires but it would be dangerous to offer me that position"
