Low Maintenance/High Maintenance

Just a simple, silly and vain query:

I was told the other day that I’m very “low maintenance” cause I look simple, meaning, I don’t wear jewellery and never style my hair (not including the colouring). Other times, I’ve been told I look “high maintenance” cause I wear heals. :konfused:

What makes someone low maintenance v. high maintenance?

I'm emotionally high maintinance and materially low maintinance

I need 100% attention 98% of the time, but I don't need gift and so forth :p

I think they mistook "maintinance" for "simplicity" or one of its other sister synonyms

honestly, I never heard this term before.

what about those who hardly wear jewellery and wear flat. :D

i think that usually refers to people in a relationship. like a girl or guy can be high maintenance if you need a lot of attention/affection, hence, the need for frequent phonecalls, gifts, ect. most of the time it's viewed negatively.

same here :smiley:

but your the first one as fas as I can remember :smiley:

not too mutch bling bling, or several layers of grease :smiley:
it suited u btw :smiley:

waleed will kick me for this :hehe:

Are you high maintenance? I find you very knowledgeable about products like shoes, clothes etc..does that give an impression of a high maintenance girl. Yeah, for sure :k: :eek: :slight_smile:

You know Fayz, my sister said the exact same thing when I asked her. :hehe:

Your sister is a very cool, calm and smart girl. Of course we would say the same thing :-p Tell her I said hi :wave:

So far you are the only girl who has admitted to comparing notes with her. Maybe other females here don’t like to be viewed as ‘high-maintenance’. To each her own. :smiley:

Mehnaz, what kind of hair products do you use, girl?

hmm

someone who spends a lot of time on their appearance is high maintenance i think

like alwayz manicured, pedicured, hair perfect, clothes perfect, matching accessories n jewelry, makeup etc etc

im very low maintenance myself... :D

Low maintenance - these types of girls are usually below average or average girls. They usually have nice personalities and are faithful. They make good girlfriends and even better housewives.

High Maintenance - These girls are above average or drop dead gorgeous. Apart from their looks they have an unusually big chest area and are very curvy. 99.9% of males want them, but only a few select people that have money and resource can have them. They are very bitchy, nagging and spoiled girls. Are not known to be faithful and are not to be wed but only kept as a mistress or show-piece.

^I bet Mehnaz is none of the above.

^I bet you are her secret admirer.

^ Isn't it obvious ?

It really depends. In case of guys it's usually how much work a mother or wife has to do that they shouldn't be doing. Like cleaning after them or cooking for them, so on and so forth.

With women it's more emotionally high/low maintenance, like do they need 'time' more than a normal person would (with normal being a relative thing). Do they get upset quickly & need a lot of comforting (high maintenance) or do they sulk within and get over it soon (low). I guess it can be used for shopping desires, like some women can’t go without buying something from the mall every week …

Their just labels or name calling, I wouldn't think twice about them. Who cares what you are, if your happy with yourself than it doesn't matterif your high, low or no maintance.

sorry da only maintenance i know is of ma machinez
