Umm well for me i just lose interest and get bored pretty fast with someone like that. I think it's just a game that people play to feel more important and to ensure constant attention. A very uncreative way of keeping someone interested if you ask me. | |

Posted: 1/5/2005 4:07:01 PM | <-----high maintenance right here
first example---3 day trip to west Virginia, i took a huge hockey bag with enough clothes to wear for a month....4 pairs of heels, a small getto blaster and a ton of cosmetics and skincare products
example 2----nearly $6000 on breasts and another $3000 on teeth
example 3----spending $$$ each month on skin care products, tanning salons & creams, hair care products, and other things that improve how i feel about my physical appearance...
example 4----refusing to eat cheap meals,such as kraft dinner, chef boyardee, etc.. i ravish things like lobster, shrimp, alaskan king crab, and my fav restaurant costs me over $100 for the seafood plate.
oh, and i love Louis Vuitton bags
i know i know....pathetic isn't it? lol
hey, at least give me a break for being honest

That's why I prefer the rice grinders.I can get virtually the same ride,one that even looks every bit as a Harley and I don't have to be a mechanic to keep it on the road, and it will cost a fraction of what is paid for the Harley.I don't need the so called "status" of owning a Harley
Rice Burners are Cheaper.... so much cheaper that they are just as easiely replaced instead of fixing it. There is no investment here. People who invest in Harley's are Harley lovers and because they love them and because it is an investment they will always make the extra effort to fix them than to just go out and replace them.
In other words you get what you pay for if cheap and easy then get cheap and easy  | |

****************************************************
My brother in law owned two bikes his entire life.They were both Honda 750's and the only reason he had to replace the first one was because he left it in the care of a friend when he was shipped out for six months and the friend didn't take care of it.He left it out during one of our infamous Florida floods.That was in 1976 after he had owned that bike for several years.He bought another bike not long after that and rode it until he was killed on it ( an old man who had no business driving ran a red light and plowed into him)in 1998.Maintenance was minimal.Give it the oil changes and routine maintenance and she was happy,not constantly whining,b*tching and moaning over every little minor problem.No having to carry a bag of tools around to tighten this and change that after a ride across town.
I can see a point of paying more for something with a name IF you are getting something that will last without having to invest your whole life's blood,sweat and tears for it to just function and do it's job.Some name brand clothes are better and do last longer,but some things you're just paying for a name and status.Who needs it?
I'll take a woman who is low manitenance any day.She may not look like she stepped out of the pages of Playboy,but my work day won't be interupted every hour with the cell phone going off. | |

The point I was trying to make is beyond the scope of the foo foo and the make up of the playboy bunny who most likely prefer a porche' to a harley. My point is that all good serious relationships are high manitenance. It has to be maintained to stay in tune. | |

I think it depends on your definition of high maintenance.All relationships require work and some effort on both parts.I'll agree with you there.But a high maintenance person imo transends what should be normal relationship maintenance.The difference between my ex wife and my current g/f is night and day.If I worked to late or went to the gym after work I caught hell from my ex.She actually called me on my cell phone in the middle of press conferences,during editing seesions when my deadline was minutes away just to tell me that she was having a stressful day with the kids.My current g/f understands my health needs and my job and if I get an out of town assignment where I'll be gone for a few days or a week,it's no biggie.Just goes with the territory. | |

Posted: 1/7/2005 5:54:08 AM | if u werent thankful for the way god made you and had yourself alteredby plastic surgery, thats high maintenance.
If you have added hair extentions, fake nails, colored contacts, thats high maintenance..
A perfect example would be Fergie, from the Black Eyed Peas.

Posted: 8/26/2009 8:15:07 AM | | High maintenance is a woman that needs taken to a 50 dollar dinner instead of a 20 dollar dinner or she throws a tantrum. Now the real question is : Why are attractive women more likely to be high maintenance than just an average looking woman? | |

Posted: 8/26/2009 12:17:03 PM | Basically high maintenance is someone who's very materialistic oriented, likes the most expensive clothes, cars, restaurants, etc. And they require a potential partner to earn a 6 figure salary. I've even seen women on match.com who state in their profile that they're low-maintenance and when you scroll down to their salary requirements, it's at least $100,000 or $150,000. These shallow women make me laugh.  | |

If someone can earn by him-/herself, it doesn't matter. I prefer the one who is very materialistic oriented as he has the ability to obtain what he wants. | |

Posted: 8/26/2009 12:51:26 PM | Interesting replies on this thread.
When I think "high maintenance," nothing material comes to mind.. but emotional sure does. And yes, there are plenty of guys that are high maintenance. To me neediness equates with high maintenance. Needing constant reassurance that they're pretty/good looking or that you love them, texts/emails/phonecalls several times a day (and freaking out if, God forbid, you are busy and don't answer or reply right away), unable to make decisions on their own, needing to discuss every single problem they have ad nauseum, always have to have things their way or they pout .. yada yada yada.
If a relationship takes so much "maintenance" that it drains you emotionally and limits your ability to be an indvidiual? That's pretty "high maintenance" in my book. | |

That's your attitude towards it because I'm guessing you're materialistic yourself. So yeah that approach to dating would make sense in that case.

Yeah I'd say that's pretty much how most men look at it. I don't recall ever hearing a guy label a woman high maintenance for being needy/clingy, we usually have too many other things to worry about it. Needy/clingy is something I can put up with, it's other things I won't tolerate or turn me off.

I don't think you have a correct guess. I'm not sure if I am materialistic. I do drive an old car because I don't want to waste it as it still useful, but I have all my material things and return to school for my doctoral degree without leveraging any debt. In adition, everyone likes to date his/her peers; I don't think you'll date a woman who you don't like. As I am capable and able to do what I like, do you think that you have the right to judge me? | |

| How would you define High maintenance?
Posted: 8/26/2009 2:45:19 PM | It basically means someone who requires a lot of effort, attention, or resources to be with. Asks a lot. Expects a lot. Demands a lot.
As opposed to someone who's easy to be with.
People here keep mentioning material things, but it often describes someone who's emotionally needy or always has to get their way. | |
