I think we need to define high maintainance here so we can judge. I don't know what high maintainance for a boy would be. You come up with a criteria and I'll see if I match it.
For girls . . . You know you are most likely high maintainance, to us boys, if any of the following are true:
- You have more than one or two "special instructions at meals.
- You like to look good but it takes you longer than 45 minutes after a shower to get ready, or looking good means keeping your SO waiting past the agreed upon time.
- You have ever slept carefully so as not to mess up your perfect hair because you know you are not going to shower before work/class the next morning.
- Sometimes you like to be touched and sometimes you don't and you tend to be defensive about it. And assume we are mind readers.
- Have the need to continue arguments with us that obviously started with another SO or parent.
- You have an ex-boyfriend you spend a lot of time with, or talk to an awful lot without there ever being any significant amount of "no contact time".
- You have a guy that is "just a friend" that meets the above criteria.
- You are predictably moody.
- You can only be photographed 1% of your waking life and only after SERIOUS modification. Read: Makeover.
- You obsessively ask us whether you look fat, when you are obviously slightly (or more) overweight but either don't work out or don't work out intellegently.
- You argue with us, or give us attitude as if we are obligated to put up with you or forgive you.
- You never go anywhere without make-up and hair done.
- You make a point to wear special designer clothing to the gym.
- You get us in bar fights.
- You look daggers at ladies looking at us, but have guys checking you out.
- You raise your voice at us in public.
- You make us leave early from something because YOU are not having a good time.
- You sit there and try and convince us that we will like something we don't.
Here are some more no-no's but not quite sure whether they make you high meaintainance.
- You use the "if you loved me" gambit.
- You use the "its over if you don't somehow conform to my will" line.
- You act as buzz kill when we get home from a night out and give us attitude.
- You give us grief for looking at a girl walking by. Note: the human eye is attracted to movement,
- You ever say the words "whatever" and "fine".
Well I think that is enough for now. Please add more.
I still can't think how boys could be high maintainance, we are so awesome.
