Hmmmm.... While I easily do all of the things that the ladies above say are traits of a low maintenance woman, I consider myself very high maintenance.
Have you ever tried to figure out when and how to open doors for a woman who is used to opening her own? Or how does it tax you when she holds it open for you?
Pay for 1/2? No I'm likely to pay all.
Once I make a decision about what the hell I am going to wear, 10 minutes tops. But no one had best be in my way when I'm getting ready.
Blunt...lol, can you imagine how difficult it can be to live with someone who does not hold back?
My expectations are high. But not about doors or $$ etc. I expect the people around me to be kind courteous, respectful. I expect you to give your all in every damn thing you do. I expect you to care for yourself.
I personally think maintenance is in the eye of the beholder. If you are someone who needs constant reassurance of someone's affection then to me, you may be high maintenance. If you are obsessed about things like how your house is kept, how you are to be treated, being an attention whore, time to do your own things be it shopping, going to the gym, going out with friends, etc., at the constant expense of the people who live with and love you, then to me you may be high maintenance.
To me it's about someone who puts their needs and feelings above those of the people around them. I am the only female in a house full of men and I think that has a lot to do with why I feel I am high maintenance. In comparison to the people I live with, I am.
