Who cares if someone is needy, needy is easy to put up with if you're emotionally generous. Show them a little extra love and they'll shutup for a while.
Easy? lol. Actually, it's more like, show them a little "extra love" and they'll want more and more and more. It's never enough with emotionally high maintenance people.
I'd rather put up with a needy woman than some spoiled brat woman with a princess complex that thinks she's entitled to things just because she's attractive.
I'd rather not put up with either type [of guy], personally :) | |

Posted: 9/18/2009 2:31:04 PM | I find that what defines "high maintenance" has changed for me over the years, to the point the term itself is pretty much a "catch all" phrase for anyone who is a "drain" on you.
Whether they drain your emotions, psyche, patience, tolerance, finances, time etc... | |

Posted: 9/18/2009 3:17:35 PM | High maintenance..One who sucks your energy and enthusiasm, demands to much time and attention (as in needy), loves something to be "going on", constantly spending to make up for lack of self esteem on their looks, clothes and possessions.
Verityone said it well..... "Whether they drain your emotions, psyche, patience, tolerance, finances, time etc...
I usually call them energy or emotional vampires, nothing is ever right or good enough. | |

Posted: 9/18/2009 11:09:16 PM | Many people have different opinions. This is my list:
1) the need to call me or text me every single day or hour.
2) obsession with brand name anything
3) someone who loves to keep up with the joneses | |

Posted: 9/19/2009 6:23:56 PM | | I used to think high maintenance referred only to women who had to be pampered and treated to expensive lavish lifestyles - hair, makeup, clothes, etc. Then I married a high maintenance man (very rugged, hunted, fished, etc) He got so offended when I told him he was hhigh maintenance - he was like a little kid - very demanding of attention. I couldn't be on the phone for 5 minutes - if I wasn't paying attention to him he would get obnoxious! I will admit I am a nurturer, so I enjoyed pampering him, but oh boy was he high maintenance! I would't have minded so much if he gave even 50% of what he took during our marriage..... | |

Posted: 9/21/2009 11:55:11 PM | Many people tend to associate HM with how a woman looks and how long it takes her to get ready, but in reality, this has nothing to do with what actually makes a woman HM. The core to HM is one's selfishness or unwillingness or inability to contribute equally to a meaningful relationship. This results in a one-sided relationship whereby one partner must work much harder than the other to make the relationship work. If you think about this logically, then it makes sense to consider the non-contributing partner as HM because the other partner has to work his/her butt off to *maintain* the relationship while the other is just along for the ride. This is a very straight forward concept, yet many don't understand it and few HM individuals realize that they are HM.
There are varying levels of HM and it covers many areas. The higher the number of areas that you don't contribute to making a relationship work, the higher maintenance you will be. And this goes beyond the love aspect of a relationship - It also includes life skills that are essential to have any form of independence in today's society and dealing with life's bumps and turns in a two-way relationship. The partner of a HM individual will typically be on his/her "toes" trying to make things work and will not be able to relax because the HM partner is dependent on him/her.
There are many examples of HM, but it all boils down to your level of selfishness and dependency on your partner. Many people will read that statement and quickly claim to be low maintenance because they don't identify as selfish or dependent on their partner, but we all know that there are many people like it. Selfish, dependent people are insecure, are not down to earth and tend to get consumed with superficial stuff like appearance and fairy tales, and enter into relationships with clearly identified expectations of how their partner is suppose to treat them without any thought as to how they're suppose to treat their partner. | |

Posted: 11/15/2009 10:05:44 AM | From the online dictionary, maintenance was mainly defined as follows:
1. The act of maintaining.
2. The state of being maintained: the maintenance of friendly relations with England.
3. Care or upkeep, as of machinery or property: With proper maintenance the car will last for many years.
4. Means of upkeep, support, or subsistence; and livelihood: to provide a comfortable maintenance.
5. Alimony or child support.
When many guys talk about themselves, maintenance has nothing to do with money or spending. When they talk about high maintenance girls, maintenance has important things to do with money and spending. They use an opposite way to judge women and themselves. | |

High Maintenance is a woman who must be given the best of everything all the time :)
Nothing is too good and you need to have very deep pockets to keep her interest. She usually has many high rollers chasing after her !
And I'll also add she has a LOT of DRAMA in her life...........
and yes, she has many high rollers chasing and throwing themselves at her and if she happens to be dating you, she'll just threaten that she can easily replace you in a heartbeat. | |

Posted: 11/16/2009 6:07:25 AM | high maintenance to me is a state of required care and attention that needs to continually be cultivated to maintain a high level of satisfaction.
basically- if i need to put a lot of work and effort into something/someone, it's because it's worth it to me. anything that i can be lazy about isn't really that important. | |

Depending on who she is! Some women are selective, and some women aren't because they lack an ability to be selective! Men are same! | |

Posted: 11/24/2009 8:03:53 PM | | High maintenance is someone who constantly needs the attention to keep them satisfied, whether its wining & dining, constantly telling them how pretty they are or feeding their ego, wanting money and expecting you to buy them things, stuff like this. It means they are someone who needs a lot of care. I don't like high maintenance people. | |
