[henria86]

I guess "high-maintenance" is relative. I haven't been inside of a hair salon in years (Go, Mom's haircuts!), and have never had my nails done, and I own no makeup (unless you count chapstick). But, it was only a little over a year ago that I said to my husband, "I'm not getting rid of Guido (my RTC). I think we need to build a pond." And I'm the one that's constantly looking at tanks, trying to figure out some excuse to get them through my front door! I know here, folks are like, "Yes. That is awesome." And my husband's into fishkeeping, too, but he probably considers me (and the hobby!) high-maintenance!

Perfect summation.

I am happy to wear Walmart jeans and a hoodie, but need my husband to build me a 550 gallon tank. I would rather stay home and cook a decent meal (with enough left overs for tomorrow's lunch) than go out to eat, but I ride and race a bicycle worth more than my car.

I am well into my PhD... you want to talk high maintenance! My tuition bills have stripped us down to bare essentials. Do I NEED a PhD? No. Do I WANT a PhD? OHHHH HELL YES!

I see your fru fru purse and raise you one fru fru education. I assure you, my tuition costs more than any high maintenance chicks dining and clothing bills. But here I sit in my walmart jeans and a hoodie wondering how I am going to buy the filters to run that new tank Mike is building.

High Maintenance is relative. I doubt very many of you have the stamina to support your spouse through her PhD. (Finances are one thing, the emotional drama is where the real support is needed!)

I grew up a tom boy in the dirt and fights with my brother and his freinds, I'm a complete nerd at heart, and 100% independant, I don't need a care taker or a financial provider. It would be nice though just have a partner in life.

Being independant has been mentioned by a few, but I've found that most guys like a little of the damsel in distress bit, some more than others, and again in general, most guys like the girls that giggles, needs help lifting a stupid 50lb box, and would never be able to make it home without a male escort in the wee hours of the morning.

I dated a high maintenance chick, When I met her she was 32 years old, blond hair, perfect DD's (and she knew it). Well its been over 10 years since I met her. None of the guys she had wrapped around her little finger will even talk to her anymore. She is alone and because she never had to work (guys always paid) she can't support herself and doesn't think she should have to! She won't even help with housework....its beneath her. I could go on but its just sad.

... I love these stories

Seems like it's getting overruned.

Exactly what I was thinking. You could spend $1000 on a Gucci purse or $1000 on monster fish. Tough choice.

....or you can spend 25 $ on a fake Gucci and 975 $ on a monster fish

Beware of the high maintenance women in disguise! They're everywhere!

we don't pay taxes, our government gives newlyweds cash gifts, a house/apartment (FOR FREE!)

what is this strange place you speak of? seems like something out of a fairy tale movie, like harry potter or chronicles of narnia
