Career Women

Are they higher maintenance? As in, do they want you to buy them more fancy shmancy stuff? Or have all the years of hard work and poor student-hood living in dorms and eating ramen noodles make them lower maintenance?

Re: Career Women

I think lack of compatibility, respect, patience and inability to compromise will make anyone high maintenance.

Re: Career Women

If by high maintenance you mean expecting their men to pull their weight around the house, then yes career women may be seen as "high maintenance".
In terms of buying fancy schmancy stuff though: if a woman works, she is less likely to wait around for her husband to buy her the impractical but gorgeous designer shoes she has had her eye on. So in that sense she won't be as dependant /high maintenance as a housewife.

Maybe, the partners of these wives need to be answering the question?

Re: Career Women

you can eat ramen noodles every single meal of your life and still be a difficult person to be with.

Re: Career Women

Re: Career Women

Re: Career Women

Career women require maintenance?

Someone ate way too much ramen noodles!

Re: Career Women

Huh? What is up with this thread? I'm a career woman and I can buy my own fancy shmancy stuff and bought my ex his as well. And this is after living in the dorms and working 40 hours a week in an internship during college. No ramen noodles here though. Lots of daal, chawal, and chicken sashli. And no, I don't think of myself as higher maintenance, but I do maintain myself.
