if you ask me, “high-maintenance” women are not given nearly enough credit. time and again we are demonized as materialistic, overbearing bitches who never get our fill of things like diamonds and love.

first of all, this is rarely true. i, for one, don’t even really desire diamonds at all. i mean, sure they are pretty, and i wouldn’t kick a dildo with a diamond-encrusted handle out of bed, but i’m more of a funny things found on the ground and cast-out furniture kind of girl. i guess it’s true that i can never get enough love, but love is free.

secondly, i’m not so much “over-bearing” as “fucking hilarious” and “generally knowledgeable”. i will admit that i like things done my way, for the most part, and i am used to getting my way, at least in matters of the heart, remote control, and restaurant choice. the funny thing is, though, that i don’t mind compromise, can always admit when i’m wrong, and in that case am genuinely sorry.

it isn’t any easier being high-maintenance than it is dealing with someone who is. life and people can be very frustrating! in addition to that, at least in the case of relationships, the person who is choosing to be with the high-maintenance person can choose not to be with that person. they can walk away at any time. on the other hand, for example, i cannot walk away from being high-maintenance. this is who i am. many people have found it revolting, and many people have found it charming, it all really depends. for some people, being with a high-maintenance person gives them the charge and challenge that they desire. it makes them feel good and they make us feel good. and for that matter, being high-maintenance and being a giver are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

anyway, without we fierce, high-maintenance girls in the game making those tepid, easygoing, tediously agreeable girls look somehow desirable to those who have grown weary of trying, who would want to bother with one of them at all?
