The High Maintenance Woman vs. A Woman Who Knows Her Worth By: @milagreee

The high maintenance woman versus the woman who knows what she wants and has standards. Right away a man that says you are high maintenance feels as though hes already doing too much. I believe that there is a misrepresentation between a woman who has high standards and values herself and knows her worth with a woman who is actually high maintenance. Let me define high maintenance: A high maintenance woman is one who needs material things to be happy. These material things can be,but not limited to money, affection, cars, handbags, jewelry, whatever she wants she gets. This HM woman is defined by urban dictionary as a woman who has a higher than normal expectations; has a greater requirement for affection and attention; has more needs and/or demands and therefore more difficult or challenging.”

Now a woman who values herself and knows her worth is able to tell a man exactly what it is that she wants from him and its more about respect than material items. She knows her worth and she able to stand up for herself. For example: when a man if a man is continuously late to pick her up, he isn’t valuing her time. If she has a problem with the lack of respect this shows, in a nice way, she should be able to let him know how she feels without making him feel attacked. No man wants to feel attacked but just because she knows her values and knows what shes worth, it doesn’t make her a high maintenance woman.

Some men like high maintenance women because they take care of themselves and they make them look good in public, always. Going down the five isle at shop rite becomes a runway show and some men cant help but love that for the simple fact that when you are on a date with someone who looks good, they also look good. She puts great effort in looking good and it can be an ego boast for men.

While that’s all fine and dandy, a woman who knows her value doesn’t necessarily care for all the material things that a man can provide. Hell, she might be able to get it herself. She can look just as good as a high maintenance woman and turn necks just as easily without the extremity of wearing

red bottoms to shop rite. What she wants is a man who values her for the strong woman that she is. When you set the standards, men will abide. A man will always try, its your job to love yourself enough to show him that you’re of value and you need to be respected.
