i know a LOT of high maintenance ladies and gals. ladies who get their nails done twice a week. their hair done every week. guys who can't go 2 hours without spraying moisturizer on their hair. who always have to wear the latest sneakers. i went to a university that is known all around the state for its flashy, over-dressed female students. i always wondered if its worth it: wearing stilettos to lectures everyday, changing your weave every 2 days.

do high maintainence folks get more dates over those who are more, shall i say simple? are they more attractive? me, i can't stand high-maintainence, "metro-sexual" guys who look in the mirror more than i do.
what do ya'll think?
cool

@ Poster,
There is always a paradox in such social situation,
the more beautiful,handsome sophisticated or so called high class a person is , the  more he is likely to be isolated,
this happens for several reasons,
Sophisticated people normally appear pompous ,and pomposity in a social settings a times can elicit envy and ill will,
secondly, most people will be threatened by the sophisticated exterior and will prefer to admire it from afar,  

I talk from personal experience, when i was in  the university, a times i used to be frustrated inside me, on how people used to admire me then, a girl will admire me but was just too scared to make a bold step towards that, me i will just be confused, even when i try to go close and signal my own interest, she will still be scared, they wouldn't know i was admiring them also,
The truth is that appearing  too sophisticated in a social environment makes other  people around you look inferior and it reduces their confidence of self worth.
Being flamboyant a times brings the opposite of what many people expect. .

i think it honestly depends on y u are high maintenance. im high maintenance but i dont do it for guys, i do it for myself. i enjoy changing hair styles and clothes as often as i can. But i do know people who do it for the opposite sex, and if they get more dates, iwouldnt know. ive never thougth to ask them.

high maintenance girls get more dates because they take more time to look good. they also attract the best dates.

Face it guys, we only complain of high maintenance chics when the pocket is dry, when you're loaded they are the ones you want to shoot for.

Exactly.
I can't imagine some major top shot having an average Jane, plain looking girl for a girlfriend. . . .except if two of them had been together before any of them became top shot. Same thing for girls. . . . you role with your league, or something like that.

Yea yea yea it's usually like that, but there are exceptions to the rule.

There have been celebrities (high maintenance for the most part, as we all know) who randomly walk into restaurants and end up dating average/par girls they met at the restaurants.
Some celebs even find love on twitter.

*shior* Nonsense and Ingredient. Crazy post tongue. There is difference between being high maintenance and just wanting to look good.

this is true especially if the rich guy is the flashy type. like attracts like.
there are some guys that are really rich and you wouldn't know from looking at them 'cause they're so laid back. lol then when they start talking abt their parents, vacation homes then u are like   shocked WHAT and you have holes in ur sweater? hahah
there are some guys too that are not so rich (but usually they are) and they are always dressed sharply. ralph lauren polo shirts, clean shoes etc those are the flashy types that attract high maintenance girls.
Re: High Maintenance: Does It Get You More Dates? by finemocha(f): 7:23pm On Sep 08, 2009
from experience dating a guy that is high maintenance is very very hard.

so if a lady isn't holding a $300 purse, rocking a lace front, getting her nails done every week, then she's a plain Jane?
are all men really looking for High Class DIVAS?? maybe, i'm naive, but i hope not! what happened to simplicity?

that's a new way to look at it.
look at genevieve nnaji.
even beyonce leads a very quiet life outside of all the glamor.
Re: High Maintenance: Does It Get You More Dates? by 4Play(m): 7:47pm On Sep 08, 2009
If a girl is high maintenance, we have to assume that she has some appealing physical features. It's hard to imagine an obscenely wowo girl being high maintenance. If the premise that a high maintenance girl is by implication ''sexy'' holds, then she will get more dates, not because she's high maintenance, but because men find her attractive.

Attractive women get more dates, high maintenance girls get more  dates because they are often attractive.
Re: High Maintenance: Does It Get You More Dates? by africhika(f): 7:50pm On Sep 08, 2009
^^ but are they, these high class divas, more attractive than more simple types? i thought people go for simplicity. the less is more thing, you know.
Re: High Maintenance: Does It Get You More Dates? by deji2009(m): 7:50pm On Sep 08, 2009
Any female I"ll be alright. if it comes my way then I"ll grab it, but for me to be stressing up and n down is not in my blood and not my style. look at your fingers now they aint equal. are they ?

^^ i second that. you won't find me sitting in a hair salon every single weekend. but my hair still always looks nice.

I would think that for a girl to live a life of high maintenance, she must have something going for her. It's hard to tell but it's probably fair to say they are more attractive, how else can they get men to accede to their financial demands?

They think football is about making ineffective passes in the middle of the pitch.

Whats the difference between High Maintenance and a Rich Girl ? There are many RICH GIRLS that are NOT high maintenance.

Anyways sha!

depends on what you define as "simplicity". Being sloppy is not the same as simplicity . . . you dont have to be expensive to look good but pls look good! It doesnt take much to have your nails fixed weekly, hair styled neatly and wear nice matching attire.
Re: High Maintenance: Does It Get You More Dates? by GeorgeD1(m): 8:08pm On Sep 08, 2009
aye. you can be simple without neccesarily being sloppy! grin
