Posted: 5/15/2008 7:32:48 AM | but one of the guys I played hockey with says there is no such thing as a "low maintenance woman".
ya know that is no different than a woman saying all men are useless or cheaters or whatever. That man from the hockey team needs to stay single. | |

LOL!! YES, he does. I went (in his words) from being a "goddess" to being a "pain in the a$$" when I refused to date him...... | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 7:56:15 AM | *cue When Harry met Sally* "You're the worst kind, you think you're low maintenance but you're really not. Where did it all start?" because she wanted stuff on the side? LOL I never understood that part. Nor do I understand the male species and their outlook of high & low maintenance.
But personally, in regards to the OP's woman...that is a high-maintenance pain in the @$$ just waiting to be kicked. | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 8:18:00 AM | wow, I think a low maintenance person is one who enjoys simple things, like the park or the beach or just nice conversation. As far as a dinner cruise and a play, that is a little extravegant for a first date IMHO. For my first dates, I usually suggest a game of bowling or pool, such great ice breakers.
Good luck to you! | |

Tried to private message you, but I'm past your chosen expiration date... ;)
We're not all like that....I know the lower maintenance "real" women are a little harder to find.....but we ARE out there. You're a very attractive man, and I hope you find what it is you're looking for! | |

Women, especially under 30, have never been more high maintenance than they are today.
How would he know this, I wonder to myself. But not for long because it's a silly statement.
confuses "low maintenance" with "no maintenance"
ARGH--don't they all (mostly)?! All relationships require "mainentance". | |

As to the OT: That gal's deinition of low maintenance perhaps differs from your and mine--so what? OK, so we agree she's batty--so what? I smell whiny control freaks online. | |

blueeyedgirl,
there are indeed low maintenance women - a woman that is happy being with you and who asks for nothing other than your brain - SHE is the one that I will spend big money on; not someone who expects it! | |

Posted: 5/28/2008 11:48:17 PM | OP…she did not sound low maintenance to me.
Being a single mom, I feel I am low maintenance. No makeup, hair finger-combed, clothes from Goodwill, no jewelry. One of my favorite dates is going to Costco, eating the free samples, then off to the snack bar where we split a hotdog and soda, and as a treat I got my very own chocolate dipped vanilla ice-cream with almonds sprinkled all over…and he got his own churros…and we each got a bite of the other’s dessert…yum yum! | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 12:08:50 AM | | Was that the only thing that spelled out 'high maintenance' about her profile? I think they mean her idea of a 'perfect' first date when they put that there. I've read guy's profiles that say 'nice warm bath and full body massage' for a first date, but yet they say they arent just looking for sex. I mean, you just met the person and you expect them to get naked and get personal, but not looking for an intimate encounter? C'mon.... | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 2:20:48 AM | I don't know...the only thing I know is, my car is more maintenance than I am...
I just want to hang out and discuss the finer points of how the show Sliders could actually be real and eat cheerios out of the box... and wear shoes that are 4 years old... and only buy toilet paper every 3 months.... while watching episodes of Lost on my computer... and reading up on Objectivism... while at the same time listening to Coast to Coast AM...

I can't beleive how many women are posting on this one trying to turn this into something that it isn't!
400 dollars? I had better get laid! | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 6:20:10 PM | OP - are you NUTS??? $400 for a night in Chicago - geezz, that must be one great dame with a tight leather skirt, standing on the street corner, and billing you @ $100 per hour. Perhaps you're into hotel rooms.
Men - quit the whining about what it costs to date. If you open your wallet up to treat a woman to a $400 date, I have no sympathy for you, especially if it's the first date. Dates, like anything else in life can be as expensive or inexpensive as you make it to be. If you're a sucker to spend that kind of $$, there will be no pity from me.
Women -if you are on POF or any other dating site and points a gun to a man's head and demands a $400 date, please post your mug and demands on this thread. We'd all enjoy the fascinating read. | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 2:53:53 AM | I actually feel sorry for some of these women. Wait until they have children, and have to make sacrifices, boy they are in trouble.
I work with a lot of young people and I never thought I would say this, but what a shallow spoiled generation they are. I feel sorry for my sons' who had to make sacrifices, and do have some depth of character. Of course there are some exceptions, but I find most in there twenties to have this strange sense of entitlement. I was already married at 21, so I just don't relate at all.
I have read some of these profiles on here, and am somewhat amazed and amused by the long list of requirements some have. Makes me just think that they have never experienced love before, because I know when I am in love, I don't see what others see. I don't care what you have. Once you have experienced true love, it changes you. You begin to look at people and life so differently. You can't really judge their ignorance, you have to almost feel sorry for them, and hope one day they begin to see things differently, and look for what is really important in the person which is heart and character. | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 4:40:00 AM | You should impress me by......
ANY profile that starts off with this is a red-flag.
I'm not a court jesture trying to appease the queen.
Might want to be careful with that one too, if she's asking for THAT on a first date, she might be one of those people that are looking for freebies, and not an actual relationship. | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 2:13:29 PM | Its kind of like when someone says she's really easy going and low maintenance, then gives a bunch of demands that you must meet to even talk to them.
If someone has to say that, I usually run away. | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 3:20:22 PM | | I love the way everyone here is assuming only women can be high maintenance. What about the men? I've met some that definitely qualify! | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 3:26:01 PM | | Yeah, I think "high-maintenance" and "greedy spendthrift" are being confused a little here. I don't expect anyone to buy me anything, including dinner, but I'm so high maintenance in other ways. | |

Can't answer that one cuz I don't date men -- HOWEVER, I doubt if there are many men expecting a $400 first date on POF where the woman will pay

Posted: 5/30/2008 3:55:19 PM | Ok... this has been on my mind for a while...
I read these threads often and frequently see men talking (actually complaining) about these "high maintainence" women who want money and gifts, etc.
So I don't get it...
It's RARE that I ever stumble across a woman's profile that has anything remotely so materialistic in it. (I refuse to believe that a woman stating she'd prefer to a date a man with a job and car as materialistic!)
I'll admit, the most materialistic profiles are usually those barbie doll type girls who are only looking for a free ride or a sugar daddy. Of course they are drop dead gorgeous, but the rest of us girls... the average girls, we are NOT expecting outrageous material gifts.
So... here is MY beef and perhaps I'm assuming too much, but I think too many men are looking for the "barbie doll" but get pissed when you don't measure up cuz you're no Ken! So that makes ALL women materialistic and shallow, when it's only a rare few that are... I think most men want the unattainable girl (physical beauty) but don't give the time of day to the average girl with realistic expectations.
Men place too much emphasise on physical beauty. A guy can be a 5 and he wants to date the girl who's a 10. It doesn't happen... Maybe for guys like Donald Trump, but the rest of you average Joes, the 10's don't/won't date you. Get over it and stop accusing all women of being materialistic.
I have never ONCE used money as the primary factor in dating or not dating a man. Of course I want a man who's financially stable, but I'd be out of my league to ask, expect anything more than what I have to offer in return.
So, I guess it boils down to this....
I'm a 5, maybe a 6. I might could date a man who's a 7, but an 8 is not likely. (And when I rate someone, I rate on internal and external beauty, stability, intelligence, etc.)
I think men date or WANT to date women out of their league. Do YOU know your league? | |

Boy are you wrong! Before I was single I dated MANY of the drop dead gorgeous women you claim would not date "average" guys like me -- they did it cuz of my personality no doubt cuz it sure wasn't my looks. The main difference for me between than and now is that over the internet the drop dead georgous women do not get to know my personality so all they go off of is my picture; their loss!
====================================
I think men date or WANT to date women out of their league. Do YOU know your league?
I refuse to limit myself to those in "my league". Any sane person wants to achieve more than they have in all aspects of their life. If that means rejection I can handle that with no problem. I have the confidence to step outside of "my league" - so who are you to say/think that is wrong? | |

Maybe because you are most likely reading men's profiles most of the time.
If it were not for the fact that POF prohibits using other members' names in a libelous manner I would post a dozen without breaking a sweat i 10 minutes. | |
