high maintenance person ... This is for either male or female ...



Personally... I do not think of myself like that anymore ...

maybe when young ...


but its ok if you are too ...

No, very low maintenance.

LOL, maintenance.
The only thing that I require is cleanliness.
Basically, don't be a slob.

I am content.
I do as I please.
No amount of maintenance is going to change our relationship and trying would be cause for alarm.
I do not expect to have to work for a relationship
You either want to be around me as I am or you don't.

In the sense of "High Maintenance"
its manipulating or being manipulated for the sake of a relationship.

You be you
I'll be me
and together we will be us.

Hi Beautiful Friend

No, I would say and I know for sure this..I’m a simple person.

agree ->You be you
I'll be me...



but the ? was geared more toward 1 person ... not being in a relationship and manipulating another ...


when I said I was... when young ... I meant sure there where many things I would not do for myself an pay someone else to have ... like hair cuts nails things in the beauty area an so on .. I use to do men's manicures for instant ... I would say they where a little high maintenance kind of guy ... but to each their own ...

I do things more for myself now then depending on what another thinks of me ... but that comes with age ...

I wonder if "pickiness" has supplanted "maintenance."

I mean when I was younger, it seemed there was always a push to date, to be in a relationship.

To just "get out there," into the "dating scene" or whatever.
To date just to date, to be in a relationship just to see "where it goes."
The more time you spent alone mean the more was wrong with you.
I mean if my friends and I were out and we saw a "hot chick" and one of us didn't try to hit on her, then we were "cowards" or "gay" or some other pejorative.

IMO there is less (doesn't mean nonexistent) pressure to date, find that "one."
You can always say "well, I'm just focusing on my career/education," or, "I'm learning to love me," or, "relationships don't define me," or something about how you can be happy alone.

So in the past (of my lifetime) it seemed relationships lasted longer than maybe they should. People were "high maintenance" perpetuating relationships/dating that really had no purpose other than to date or pretend to be trying to "build" a relationship.

Now, IMO and maybe it's just my age, it seems it's easier or more acceptable to go weeks, months, years, decades, whatever, without dating, without being in any significant relationship, to be "picky," to figure out "what you want," which means there's no real need for any "maintenance." To spend time choosing among many in terms of potential "compatibility."
Where most of the women I meet/date I tend to have already formed a tentative rapport and relationship with. Or that provide information beyond the immediate or direct facade.

So, I think I am "high maintenance" from the perspective of a person I'm dating if they're the "wrong" person.

Since I have greater access to a greater number of women where I can pick and choose based on greater information than just a 3 second glance and thought of "she's hot," before she potentially disappears from my life forever, I can make better dating/relationship choices which cuts out a lot of any "maintenance."

Hi Mystical, no I don't consider myself high maintenance.

At least as far as my understanding of what high maintenance means. It's a pretty broad term and can mean different things to each of us. I believe too that it can vary in different aspects of our life. With certain things we might be high maintenance and in other aspects low maintenance.

I believe for me over all, I'm somewhere in the middle of low to medium.

I'll eat bugs if I have to.. there is no maintenance here.. I live, or I die..

absolutely... everyone is so different ... and what that means to one may means something else to another ... and can see that from the posts ...

are you referring to me ... as beautiful friend ... thank you ... and nice to see you to ... now if that was meant for tom... I take it back jking...

ok them ...we have a lot of bugs here ...
I will start saving them for u ... any preference alive or dead ... now if alive ...that is high maintenance

high maintenance?
nope not me i just need regular feeding and plenty of snuggling

Prefer live.. but there are plenty of other choices if you're prepared, snuggling isn't one of them. Don't come to me looking to survive when the crappie hits the fan... good luck.
