It's also conservative thinking. But think about it wouldn't you want to get your wife's bill at a restaurant? And in the past I was asked if I would go dutch or pay for lunch then he would pay for dinner.

At one point or another a women require maintenance and attention. Sometimes more, sometimes less. That doesn't always make them high maintenance.

So what do you consider to be a high-maintenance woman?

And is that a turn-ON, or a turn-OFF for you?
To me it means : She likes (and usually expects) having a good time that requires spending alot of money....at someone elses expense.

If you're lucky enough to have a woman that looks like Christine Mendoza, then total high maintenance is well worth the pleasure, I'd say.

If it's my wife, then the money is OUR money.

So copy paste from the thread I stuck this in...

What does a high maintenance woman meen to me?

Several things.

She spends far too much time messing with her hair, or always having to put on make up for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. Hey we're just going to go to the grocery today but you still had to spend 2 hours in the bathroom playing with make up and twirling your hair into something I probably don't care about..

When I have to buy her hugely expensive merchandise just to make her happy, almost weekly, or I have to always take her out to eat to really expensive restarants. I get it, I enjoy eating at expensive restaurants too, but not 4+ times a damn week.

Always being needy. Oh my god why are you tugging on my shirt or pants like a little child trying to get my attention all the time? For the love of God please do not call me every hour on the hour asking me where I'm at. All this will do is drive me away from you. I get it you want me in your life. I want to be in your life, just don't drive me away with too much at once!

Now, every person in the world has high maintenance times and there's a difference between being it once and a while and being it every single day of your livable life. That's what I'm talking about here, every day.

I'm reading this page about Types of Women and there's a section where this guy wrote on High Maintenance women. I read his stuff and I'm just amazed at how much, err, not sure what word to use to describe him but it was funny.

Correct; she didn't feel like she has to "compete/share me" with the kids like she does now.

I have had a few of those....the look good on the outside ...but are useless on the inside....kind of like a fresh piece of gum, you unwrap it, its fresh and tastes sweet....but after a very short while it loses its flavor and you spit it out on the ground to let it get stuck to someone elses shoe....

That's easy:

1. A woman who cannot step one millimeter outside her comfort zone in terms of food, entertainment, or anything else. One thing I love about MrsCPG is that she is equally at home at the symphony or the baseball game. When it comes to a game, she actually keeps score in the program (I taught her how to do that early on in our relationship. Suddenly the game acquired a whole new level of texture and nuance for her). So if she can do that for me, then who am I to complain about the occasional visit to the ballet?

2. Someone who is emotionally fragile and needs to be continuously propped up and reassured. These women require 24/7 support and every conversation is akin to walking on eggshells. Grow up already. Do you realize how tedious you are?

3. Someone utterly concerned about her own pampering. So she eliminates anything that might require the least bit of sweat or discomfort, such as a hike, a campout, or a weekend on a friend's boat. So what if it's hot? And if there are mosquitoes, that's what insect repellent is for.
