    Because high maintenace girls are really annoying, really into themselves, and majority of them want high earning men or men with big muscles and abs, sad truth

    High maintenance girls demand ALL of your attention, and that just isn't fair to the other people and things in your life. Even if the girl is totally worth it, the constant neediness will make dealing with her a chore, and that is not how you want your relationship to feel.

    Because high maintenance means a lot of suffering for little reward : lots of CASH being thrown out the window for basically nothing in return. Relationships is a 2 way street... why would we want to participate in basically "being mugged" ?

    Men are basically insecure. If she's too gorgeous and calls too much attention to herself, he thinks she's going to cheat or that other guys are always trying to take her away from him.

    Men are not interested in attention whores. High-maintenance is just a codeword for attention whoring.

    Also men are not interested in girls who create unnecessary drama and tension either.

    They are women who feel they are entitled because they are hot.

    I say to them ; I'm sorry I don't have to do anything for you just because you're hot.

    Then I punch her in her ovaries. Works like a charm

    oh I haven't posted on this one.

    it's not the fact that you look pretty and put effort in it, it's that those kind of girls are known to oversee what's in front of em and as I see sometimes when I chill in front of the club some were sticking to some steroid macho dude kinda as if that's all they could get.
    I could counter your question by simply wording it out for guys. so what's with the high maintenance guys?

    Some of them are entitled brats, some of them are for real, but surely the lifestyle differences are too many. I can understand high maintenance when one talks about starting a family - maintain the family, indeed. But high maintenance as in having all sorts of new trinkets on my expense? Bitch, have you ever worked a day for your own money?

    TL;DR Mostly, it's a dumb excuse.

    I don't want a girlfriend who is only after my wallet. One that will please me so that she can get a new pair of shoes. I wan't a girlfriend that has the guts to tell me 'no'. I want someone to have an intellectual debate with. I want someone who herself works hard and works for her own money. Someone who understands the value of work.

    High maintenance girls are literally vaginas attached to what is an attractive yet incompetent human. A sex toy does the same thing they do with less annoyance, babysitting, and money.

    Maybe because most men either A: Can't afford to support her expensive habbits. B: Find them to be hard to get, or out of their league. C: Find them to be preppy bitches that just want a sugar daddy.

    Not sure how to answer this. Define high maintenance? If she’s into upkeeping and always wanting to look her best I’m cool with that. Like if she likes shopping, getting manis and pedis I think that’s cool. As long as she’s honest, trustworthy, always wants me I don’t mind that at all. If high maintenance like rude to people and causing fights and acting immature and downright embarrassing then no.

    Because high maintenance tend to be too self-centered/full of themselves/shallow.

    High maintenance by definition requires more effort on a guys part. Why would you want to put more effort on a certain woman for an equal amount of happiness in return?

    High maintenance seems to mean insecurity and immaturity in my experience. Just chill the fuck out and understand the big scheme of things
