<< Look PrespaGirl, there's a point when "affection" becomes "pathological dependency". Dependence to some extent is necessary in a committed relationship. Rather, I should say interdependence. A sort of mutual balancing leading to a greater whole. When one member (you) engages in activities that may prove harmful (useless shopping), the behavior generally is disliked by your mate, especially if he is a man and not one of those nancy boys who have a penis but don't really know what to do with it. In other words, what is called "normal". If you meant "play hard and work hard" then that still proves problematic if "playing" is limitless, just like working can be. It can be a dual addiction or a dual pathology/disorder. Those are not very fun. Generally, males do not high-maintenance females because they often don't want to invest the time and because such people usually are pretty shallow. If you make the argument that the girl "likes to work hard and play hard" then the counterargument that follows would be "well yeah, but if she likes to play hard and work hard, then she can find the balance herself and just is interested in what can be built from the relationship that is impossible by oneself". Thus, I must say your position is rather weak. Although it was an admirable attempt. I also must add that HPD can be a real problem and if one has proclivities towards it, it is picked up as maladaptive and people like that are seen as "happykitten 2.0" >>



Linuxboy, I'm not trying yo make a position or point, I just asked what people though and that is it. I'm not single so your theory about males not liking HM women weak. I never have had a problem meeting people, and there is more to me than just high maintenance. Women that are HM don't necessarily have psychological problems that you claim they have just because they are HM. Everyone is individual no matter if they like to shop a lot or just wear jeans all the time. I am as down to earth and funny as anyone can be, but I love to look good, and take care of myself body wise. :)
PS I am not a gold digger I have a job, I do everything, pay for everything myself. ;) I thought these things were for fun but seems to me Linuxboy took this to heart.:cool:

Linuxboy I guess you didn't read about what I really meant about affection. :)

bwahahahaha! I knew this thread would be amusing. Let me sum it up.

Attention whore + gold digger = high maintainence

Ok, thats an extreme, but there are varying degrees, but thats basically what it comes down to - attention and money.

Girl you are too funny sometimes



Pffffffft. Dang it, now I have to clean this water up. Crimey, that rapier wit.

*sends baffled some towels in case she's out*


Cheers ! :)


Wow, if I made you laugh, I must be having a good night. :) And here I thought maybe we'd have a huge doctoral thesis to intimidate the no0b.[/b]

Did someone say doctoral thesis? linuxboy, PhD, PhD, CPA, BA, MBA, CFP, BA, CMA, CFA, MD, DDS at your service. Why my bombastic ponderosity coupled with heaps of qualifications mean I am here to offer YOU, yes YOU, with completely free, bona fide gratuit, no-cost, free trial doctoral thesis sample. Just read the below testimonials:

When I heard about linuxboy and his services, I thought that this was some nut job who was fresh out of the psych ward. But I checked out his references and decided to give him a try. Now, 10 months later I am thin, fit, and have a fresh PhD from Cornell. Oh and linuxboy got me a great deal on a slightly used Pinto. Best service EVAR.

John Schwartzkovskinofsky from Houston, TX.

I used to be a dead beat crack smoker before I met linuxboy. With his revolutionary doctoral thesis writing, I am now married, have two beautiful daughters and I even managed to finish am MBA from Harvard. Thanks linuxboy !!!

satisfaction guaranteed. Here's a trial sample:


Histrionic personality disorder found in adolescent and early adulthood stages of development of caucasian females impact secure attachment of heterosexual couples. Recent accounts of woeful tales of female treachery on ATOT (Lal Shimpi, 2002) provide narrative accounts supporting causal theories of histrionic ossification during early adolescent socialization. These accounts not only glean insight into typical female psychology but also support earlier notions of attachment influencing later mating patterns (linuxboy 2001, 2002; Moonbeam 2002). Among commonlly noticed patterns are "high-maintenance" females (HotChic 2002) and the associated fawning by pubescent males (baffled 2002, linuxboy 2002). I maintain that both fawning behaviors and "high-maintenance" females share a common causality contributing to histrionic disorders, namely the desire to prevent discovery (Athanasius 2001, linuxboy 2002, Moonbeam 2002, palek 2002). I argue that attachment directly influences later behaviors herein described and that the two are causally related, but not exclusive in etiology.

Well, that was fun.

just my thoughts.

Too much effort. I don't need a woman that bad.

The majority of them are stuck-up, snobby bitches that think the world revolves around them and whatever piece of over-priced cloth they decide to wear that day.

Uhmm . . . PrespaGirl, you sound very familiar. You must be someone I know from elsewhere . . . your writing style, demeanour and contents. Yep! Hehehe!

Well, you know what I think already: He's gotta have the looks and the qualities. That is enough for me. Material things just isn't my style or taste. Again, don't get me wrong: He should be able to afford things than a poor man would, but I'm just not into all of that material stuff.

And yes, I do look good, dressy and all . . . but good enough at a hot deal price. If at any time I decide to be a high maintenance significant other, I will not look forward to or ever dream of getting married, 'cuz it would ruin the whole point of marriage.

I don't know if I'm making sense, but I hope I did.

<< If you cant go camping and diving without your makeup supplies, forget it. Natural beauty, the only way to fly.

:D

DITTO:)

The girl I'm seeing is all of what you described. She LOVES to shop, and dress nice and likes to eat out. I'm fine with that. She doesn't use my money to do it though! She makes her own money and she can spend it on what she wants as long as shes not wasting it.

She likes attention but who doesn't? I'm cool with it all. But if she got twisted and such and wanted to spend my money on only HER THINGS that would being to p!ss me off! Then that would be HM!

I'm not bothered about HM girls, if she can make her way she can spend it on whatever. Just don't expect me to pay for everything.

I'd prefer a girl like 911 that can do without her make up at times and just have fun and not bother about looks. My cousins friend is NEVER without make up. She didn't stay around her house as she didn't want anyone to look at her without makeup!! WTF?!?!
