High maintenance women are like high maintenance sports cars. They're lots of fun when you're out on the town together, but for every hour of showing off, there are another 10 spent on upkeep and repair behind the scenes. After hours of polishing the headlights in your garage, you might ask yourself -- is this really worth it, just for a couple of rides? Probably not.. But in some cases.. well... Could be..
Broadly defined, high maintenance women are those who need many things (money, material goods, affection) to be happy. These women love dressing up whenever possible, and are obsessed with all aspects of their personal appearance and grooming in general. This almost obsessive attention to detail usually extends beyond their person, to their homes or apartments, their pets, and yes, even their men. In addition, they tend to be perfectionists, overachievers, self-centered, and a bit vain.
SHE'S UNFAIR
She asks you to drive her somewhere, and you get yelled at for being stuck in traffic. You go for a walk, and she gets peeved because it starts to rain. You stop by to surprise her with pizza, but she blasts you for not getting something else.
SHE HAS IRRATIONAL DEMANDS
She is used to drinking watered down cocktails when she's drinking on her tab, but when Daddy Warbucks comes knocking, it's Dom Perignon time.
SHE DOESN*T KNOW THE DEFINITION OF SACRIFICE
Relationships are meant to be about compromise, but she is more about selfishness. You bend and adapt to her needs, yet all she gives you are ultimatums.
SHE'S DIFFICULT TO PLEASE
No matter what you do or say, she will want something else. No matter how much you try to please her, you will always fall short. She has never cracked a smile and has a tendency to rain on your parade.
SHE NEEDS TO BE IN CONTROL
Being high maintenance comes down to being in charge and running the show. They need to feel that it is their call; their way or the highway. My advise is that you show them otherwise or gets the hell out before it is too late...
For a certain type of man, high maintenance women are well worth the time and effort of wooing and winning. If the above caused a tingle in your spine - of fear, that is, not desire -- then you're not one of them. Cut and run because, at the end of the day, if the woman in your life is more of a bummer than a booster, she's just not worth it. No matter how fine she looks in her Manolo Blahniks.
It is just a matter of being seleective, and don't be fooled by the great looks.. Because these kind of women is all over the world.. Even in FSU... UNFORTUNATELY..

how long to you put up with her before you, went for the Saturday paper and didn't return ???
Life’s to short to put up with misery or stress from those highly strung expensive models.

It's not the pig's fault that it is a messy pig, but the one who feeds.
Even though you're right that these type of women can be found everywhere, no place has so many UNqualified ones as the good old US of A.
America has become a nation of pussified castrated stepped on wimps who not only endure, but also seek and submit to these type of women.
Those of us who seek greener pastures elsewhere, and often find them, know this is how things are.
I dare even the last woman on earth to give me an ultimatum.
1988 dialogue:
Ex-wife: "...Asshole, give me what I want or I'll cut you off from sex for a month."
Toad: "Dear future ex-wife, you cannot cut me off from sex, because you simply do not know where or who I get from...do you need help packing your bags?"
How about this (total opposite to above)
My Ex wife took me to the Airport and picked me up a month later, on both my past trips to Russia.
I hate enemies. I have a good rapport with all my ex’s !!!!
May be she does it to keep an eye on you?? May be she is that nice just to get some information?? May be that is her way to control you, without you even have a clue about it...?? Hmmm.. I bet that was something to think about..
Toad,
Yes, I think you are right. Rotten apples can be found anywhere.. But there are a lot more of them in the western world.. No doubt about it..

My Ex wife nothing like that, quite the opposite actually. We are good friends, really that’s it in a nutshell. She wants me to be happy as I her. We still have respect for each other.
It always amazes me how 2 people can be in love for years and then end up hating each other guts. I did have a good Western Wife, but stuffed it up myself years ago. Did damage that was non repairable Move on and enjoy life. You are a long time starring at the Lid, so don’t waste time bitching, I say !!
Plus FSU ladies are far better in the Sac !!!!!!!! :-)
I have read your post over and over again... I haven't figured out yet if it is me you think are bitching or not...
Anyway, I am happy for you to have such relationship with your ex. To tell you the truth I also have no enemies in my old GF's. There were some surcumstances around my ex-wife that made it difficult for us to be friends for a year or so, but now we are back to being friends and we are working together when it comes to children. I was over there last night on a BBQ, and we had a great time together. But it isn't like it used to be...
well well. I will have to disagree wuth some points NOR. The bit about there attention to detail extending beyond there person. NO NO, it may be true in some cases by i would not say it is in the majority. And as for US having most of these women I ask you to compare this. Go and look at FSU dating sites and see when asked about themselfs how many girls here simply write that they are pretty. Like I cannot see what she looks like from her photos. Go and look on a westen dating site and see if even 1 girl says this. To be truthful many girls here are unrealistic, But I do beleave its worth sorting though them as there are also many gold nuggetes to be found
I haven't mentioned US with a single word..... But I understand what you mean. When I was writing that I was thinking more about the bitching around, difficult to please and not knowing what sacrifies is part... I have noticed them telling how pretty they are, and you are perfectly right. I think that line is written there for people like Stevie Wonder... :)))

I meant Ex’s bitching about their past partners. Not you at all. You sound similar to me actually. No point in making more enemies than needed, is there. It takes one of the partners to let go and not turn it into a shit fight.
I cant see any point in holding onto bad memories or keeping a wound festering !!!

"Living well" is one of the basic hedonistic mantras to which I subscribe faithfully.
I just wish it did not drive my exes up the wall they way it does...(well, maybe a little)
