High Maintenance GOOD or BAD ?

bad because, you don't want an insect living off of you, you want someone that can stand on their own two feet

If I was that guy it would be rather bad news for you (unless I said it laughing, rather than smiling)

Read Urban Dictionary about it: link

It means having a relationship with you is a pain in the ass because you always want things to be a very specific way. It means that if he can find a girl that is at least a little bit as cute as you but more relaxed and fun to chill with he will dump you in an instant for the new girl, as would any self-respecting guy. Being high-maintenance is bad, grow up and get over your demanding persona and narcissism and maybe more guys will like you.

It really depends on the context of your relationship when a guy says something like that to you. When you guys are just dating high maintenance means he'll put up with you because you're worth it, but only for the time being. You're not marriage material. If you're already married high maintenance is signaling the beginning of the end. Your marriage will deteriorate with your looks. We put up with things that are "high maintenance" because there is a certain utility associated with the object. For example a Ferrari is expected to be high maintenance, but it's the maintenance the preserves the beauty. But when it comes to a woman, "high maintenance" usually means you're being tolerated due to some physical attraction, and as soon as that starts to fade so will the tolerance to your needs.

It means you are too demanding, be it presents, attention, taking up his time for petty reasons, picking at things all the time and nothing ever seems good enough or overall just enough for you.

High maintenance is a bad thing. In my opinion it's someone who demands constant attention, someone who wants their other half to focus purely on them and forget about themselves, someone who lacks a social life outside of the relationship.

I disagree with anyone who says is has anything to do with money.

High maintenance in my opinion can go both ways for male or female. They want to be pampered and waited on hand and foot...mostly. They can "do no wrong" and get everything they want. Can't do much of anything for themselves, always asking or telling there significant other to do something for them...constantly. All this is just an opinion.

It depends on his tone of voice, but not good in most cases. It means he thinks you are going to cost him, (or someone) a lot of money.

Good Luck,

ask him what he was meaning that's better.

it means you are probably a combination of selfish, and insecure. it means you need constant attention to be happy, and when you don't get it you become obnoxious and/or annoying.

means your too demanding take too much money to please always walking around in designer clothes and expects the guy to pay for every little thing you want. is this a bad thing? hell yea its bad. to me sound like your also pretty naive...lol

In general, it means not worth the effort. This can be from you making excessive demands or from him being interpersonally lazy. In either event, it is often a portent of bad things to come.

It means that he thinks he gots to spend a lot money on you to keep you around

NOT a good thing. He's telling you he thinks you need allot of work done (as in its allot of work to be with you ...etc)

In my view it means the guy has to do many things such as spending money on you and showering you with compliments in order to make and keep you happy.

mean he thinks you just want his money and expensive gifts e.c.t :/
when my most guys love there girlfriends but they rather have there money for something to get themself.

I don't think high maintenance is a bad thing. We're all different with different qualities. How boring would be if we were all the same? :) I got a few friends who are high maintenance and their husbands absolutely adore them in every way. They're actually perfectly matched couples too. Doesn't mean the guys are whipped or anything. They just love their women enough to put up with it. We all have qualities that are a little annoying to the people around us. What matters is that those around us love us anyways just the way we are :)

it means that it's hard to keep you happy.
It's generally not a good thing. :(

take it as an insult baby. Guys hardly look at high maintenance as a good thing, even though they love it when we are. So if he said it, it was likely a slight.

I like to think of myself as high maintenance, so to me its because I like expensive things, I like thinking expensive, sometimes I have too high expectations of other people. I want things whenever I want them, I like to spend moneyy. lol

Don't change! Everyone has their own level of maintenance... You have to find someone who thinks Ur his level, who will never tell you Ur high maintenance.

Bad, it implies you are tiring to be around.

I think it's kind of on the bad side, for the most part. I think most guys think that a high maintenance girl would be too self-absorbed to pay any attention to anything else, much less them. They want a girl who can take care of herself, yes, but not a girl who thinks her appearance is absolutely the most important thing in her life.
