high maintenance?

[lululuvsol]

I found myself watching Room Raiders (it's late and nothing's on, gimme a break!) and so many times on this show you see a guy go into a girls room and then complain about her having too many shoes and saying they can't have this girl because she's too "high maintenance".

First off...this girl did NOT have a lot of shoes from what I could tell. Secondly, since when does having a lot of shoes mean you're high maintenance? Thirdly, I am a firm believer that guys say "I don't like high maintenance girls" yet they really don't have any idea what girls do to get ready, how long or NOT long it takes and the difference between taking pride in how you look and being "high maintenance".

Eh, oh well.

Right, but that is what high maintenance SHOULD mean. I mean, these are people that are about 20 years old, they're not talking about marriage, and anyway, since when these days are men the sole bread-winners? Not as often. So it seems like it really shouldn't matter UNLESS it's the whole "she's going to make me late all the time because of her and her love of the curling iron". I just think high maintenance is partly an attitude (those who like rhinestones on everything and buy pillows and sweatpants that say "princess" come to mind) and that how many shoes they have or the size of their cosmetics bin really says nothing about this attitude.
