In today's world, when someone is perceived as a 'high maintenance' person it usually means that that someone has expensive tastes and therefore, pleasing them requires high expenditures. For example, to have dinner with her is to bring her to an expensive resto instead of just a fast food diner. Thus to please a high-maintenance woman requires huge resources. Use your imagination.
This, I do not understand. How can women enjoy being regarded as 'high maintenance'. Does it make them feel classy? Superior to other women? Is it necessary so they'd feel special?
When I am looking at a long-term relationship with a man, I feel that it is more important that my partner would cater to my emotional and spiritual needs rather than fulfill my materialistic ones. Because in the long run, as the relationship grows, the couple's happiness would be dependent on the emotional satisfaction that the relationship gives. Sure, as a woman, I would enjoy receiving gifts and also knowing that a man is spending money for me. Everyone would enjoy that. But this is not essential in making me feel that a man cares, that I am special. After all, I very well can earn money for myself. I can shop for my own, I had been to places on my own keep. I do not need someone spending for me. What I couldn't give myself is the security and comfort that someone else enjoys my company, that someone else is happy to be with me.
To each his own, I know. As for me, I feel that being regarded as 'high maintenance' makes me feel worldly and materialistic. I am easily pleased and I feel that a man's fun and intelligent company very well makes up for his lack of wealth. Then again, we are all different. We have different standards in our pursuit of happiness. So we let them be. :)
