No but I'm highly strung, single minded, determined, impatient and I have a ridiculously short attention span.

I'm not high maintenance but I can be hard work.

High maintenance to me means demanding in terms of time and money. Someone who insists on getting a lot of attention, everything they want and the absolute best of everything.

Spoilt princess syndrome.

So do you think that someone can be high maintenance some of the time then?

What about guys?

Yes. And yes, guys can be high maintenance too but it's less common, I think, than in women.

I would say people who need to be centre of attention and are very highly strung are high maintenance.

Personally, I'm very low maintenance and have no time for people who are high maintenance.

"I am not high maintenance because everything I own is brought by me... "

i was going to say something along those lines, i guess i do spend a lot of money on myself, waxing, nails, make up, clothes, shoes, verious body and face creams, hair products, underwear etc i buy on a weekly basis, some ive never even opened but i still buy more, i dread to think how much a week i spend on such things

but im single and i earn my own money so the only person im high maintance to is me

No, it's not. The highest maintenance requirements are time and attention. Constant, play with me, play with me, now, now, I said NOW!

High maintenance.... wants everything their own way, expects all your time to be their time, lots of money spent on them, takes the guy for granted, throws a strop if anything is not to their liking

Not just women to men but I have met some fairly demanding 'single child' men who want everything their own way and take the things given to them as their entitlement.

it's a fine line between being 'high maintenance' (it's all about ME) and obsessive (it's all about ME). The difference is in who is demanding the attention.

And no, O'm neither high maintenance or obsessive, nor do I find it attractive

I don't take without giving, I'm an excellent listener, I'm spend time with people and I'm a good friend. I don't demand possessions because I work to buy the things I want.

However there is a side of me that is a diva. I'm an exhibitionist, I like to be looked at, I have an ego, and I don't like to be told no. If I really want to do something I will do it. I feel a rush of anger sometimes when family members say no to me and ill sulk and refuse to speak until they give in or compromise in some way that I'm happy with. I then feel guilty that I've made them do it.

Its not a particularly good quality but it is what I'm like. I'm incredibly stubborn as well

No, though do have an eye for detail and maintaining a certain 'standard'... I would describe high maintenance as someone like Pete Burns (who has openly admitted it). Someone who needs a lot of time and energy from everyone concerned, including themselves.

Someone who expects the best and only buys the best/expects partner to buy the best. Someone who is constantly checking their appearance, looking in the mirror and would drive miles home from a party if someone else turned up in the same outfit

Definitely not me, I buy from charity shops, buy stuff in sales, buy reduced items and quite happy with Joe's greasy spoon cafe

I think the definition question is an interesting one, as it seems to mean a number of different things to different people.

I have even heard it used about people who need to wear a lot of make-up to keep up a certain visual image.

To me, high maintenance means needy. Always needing to be put first, needing to be admired, needing to be flattered, needing to be shown they are held above others.

It's not an attractive quality and shows a deep seated lack of emotional maturity.
