you know men have a tendency to say women who have high expectations and expensive taste are high maintenance.but i believe that is not true. the truth is most of those women, which i am one of them, are well aware of their worth and value. therefore they do not settle for less than the best.is it wrong for a woman to expect that when a man wants her time of day he has to prove himself, and also show that he is well capable of taking care of her? lets cut to the chase women like security and to be treated like a queen,well most of us do. a man should be able to go all out for the woman he loves,especially if she treats him like a real woman should. what do you think?

Personally, there are some very high maintenance women out there, and it has nothing to do with self-worth. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that I have a Mustang GT, '07, to drive, but I can be just as happy driving my blazer. I don't need all the latest, high priced fashions, and have my nails and hair done every other week to know that he loves me, and that I treat him with respect and love. I also know, that if something happened to him, God forbid, but we do both have jobs with a danger level higher than most, that I could take care of myself and the house, cars, etc.

You are right about saying that all women are not high maintenanced but there are some women, I am not saying you or anything but there are some women that have been spoiled and they are mostly the high maintenanced.

I'm not sure if I agree with you 100% but maybe to some extent. I don't want any man to "take care of me" or treat me like a Queen so to speak. I am very independent and I intend on staying that way. I do not want to "take care of my man" nor do i expect him to "take care of me". He needs to be as strong as me both emotionally and with his own finances. I could care less about material gifts that a man has to offer. Just treat me with respect and like I'm the love of your life and support your own and I'm fine with that. I am not high maintance at all and I don't want my guy to be. I don't expect anything more from my man than I am willing to give him myself. Nor will I settle for anything less.

Ps. when I said "strong with his own finances", I did not mean that he had to be well-off. I am a struggling, single mom and earning just enough to get by....often barely but I take care of my own and have prioritys.

I happen to be one of the happy people in life who don't need loads of clothes, shoes, make up, jewelry, and the sort. It's materialistic and doesn't matter. You don't need to be treated like a queen because women and men are equal nowadays, meaning that if you want that extra mile you can go out and get a job to support things that you want and think you need. What matters to me is someone who loves me for me and doesn't have to pay for nonsense in this world. I'm rather happy being a plain Jane going to the store in a pair of sweats and t-shirt, hair in a bun, and no make up.

I think that some of the things you are saying are right...I mean i think if a guy really loves the woman that he should treat her really well..but at the same time I don't know that i would go far enough to say go out and buy her whatever she wants because that could become a little expensive...and she could also take advantage of the guy..

I think women having an expensive taste are OK. I am one of them too. But if i want something I will try to get it on my own. I am not that comfortable with asking someone to buy it for me. And I think that is also a way to earn respect in the society of nowadays. I agree that if a man love a women, he should treat her like a queen, but emotionally. I need my love one to show me that kind of emotion that he care about me and that is more valuable to me than the material.
