I am high maintenance. I like my coffee and toys. Mainly sports gear.

I am high maintenance.

This is something I've thought about a great deal myself, as the term "high maintenance" is a term that is often used in a derogatory way toward women. Typically, IMHO, it is applied to those that are perceived as very demanding in a relationship.

I do not consider myself high maintenance in monetary or superficial ways at all. I have a good job, own my own car, house, etc. I'm not high maintenance in that I see a partner as someone who should or will buy me things or provide me things I cannot provide for myself.

However, I KNOW and will readily admit that I am high maintenance when it comes to what I expect a partner to put INTO the relationship. In other words, I want/need someone that makes me and the relationship a priority. Someone that is self aware and open that is willing to communicate effectively (or find ways to do so), to take an active role in our life together, to be able to identify issues or roadblocks in the relationship and takes the initiative to resolve them. I want someone who understands that a relationship between two people is constantly growing and changing, as people do, and is willing to weather that growth and change WITH me.

Yep, I know I demand a lot. I'm not saying I always get it, but that's my wish list. By the same token, I offer a lot as well. I would never demand things of my partner that I'm not willing to give in return.

No, I don't consider myself high maintainance.

I don't get my nails done. I don't go to the salon on a regular basis. I've NEVER dyed my hair. I don't have to have the latest fashion. I don't get anything waxed. I don't spend hours in the bathroom getting ready, and I don't feel like I have to wear make up and have my hair done every time I leave the house.

The above is what I consider to be high maintainance.

I'm just a jeans t-shirt and tennis shoes kind of girl, although I will dress up for certain occasions.

I would like to think i am low maintenance, but how in the heck would I know. For me I think i would like somebody low maint. that way it would feel more comfortable, and the little things might be appreciated more.

But I hold my own.

Geeze Jenna,

You had to post a real response. Your making us one liners look bad.

I definatly don't consider myself high maintenance at all and I prefer someone who isn't either. I've always said I appreciate the small things in life, the little things that matter.
Material things mean nothing.

High Maintenance, emotionally speaking.

I am old fashion, if i am with a woman, she is mine as i am hers, this doesn't mean that she can't do what she wants. It's more respect, kind of like if you'd like to play the field, then don't be with me.

I am low maintenance. Doesn't take a lot to make me happy. I don't need awhole lot of money, I don't need a big fine car,......
I think someone who is high maintenance likes drama. Thinks their needs are number one.
I will take low like me. But I can handle either.

ummmmm what jenna said

There are two kinds of high maintenance. There is the kind that isn't good where someone always wants material things.

Example: She wants flowers all of the time, dinner out and movies all of the time, and other things.

The other kind of high maintenance is emotional high maintenance. This is not a bad kind.

Example: Wanting to get hugs and kisses a lot. Someone who enjoys leaving sweet messages.

I think that I may be a bit high maintenance in the emotional side of things. I like to get kisses and hugs and I never want to leave with her angry or me being angry. I miss cuddling with someone too.

I think I am high maintenance emotionally but not otherwise Prefer low maintenance men.
