Do you men really want a low maintenance woman?

I mean, really? Whether it's the monetary cost or time savings, do you really think you'd be happier with a low maintenance woman? All I hear is complaining about how much a haircut/color costs or how much time it takes to straighten hair, put on makeup, etc. I'm just wondering. Only about 2% of us can get away with being naturally pretty. We all need a little help.

Thoughts?

    Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. Luckily for me I found a wife who is naturally pretty and is low maintenance in general. Otherwise I would lose my mind.

    In almost every single "poll" I've read in magazines and what not, the "favorite look" men seem to gravitate towards is their woman with little/no makeup on, a tee shirt, and sweats or jeans. Just au naturale.

    Alos, I think a lot more than 2% of women can get away with being low-maintenance, but they don't believe they can, so they spend hours and hours being high-maintenance. And some of them come out of it looking worse than without all the makeup and super-processed hair.

    Just sayin'.

    What guys say they want "low maintenance girl who likes sports" blah isn't the same as what they will actually put up with in real life.

    I'm sure 99.9% of dudes aren't going to break up with their girl because she takes too long getting ready or something.

    And I agree with this -
    it doesn't take make up, hair color or clothes to make a woman pretty. Hell, all we wanna do is get ya naked!!!!

    Most dudes just want to get to the boobies haha.

    I don't think you understand what a guy means when they say high maintenance.

    You can do all that beautification stuff and still be low maintenance.

    Being low maintenance means the guy doesn't have to be doing a lot of the care. As in the woman can handle a lot of her own stuff.

    Simple answer: Yes

    We don't object to you having a haircut, but one of my friends for example pays for his GF to have her hair done at Toni and Guys, she insists on it. Now that would be a nono

    I think men prefer low maintenance. My husband can't stand to shop with me, and he says that when we met, he was most attracted to me because I wasn't really a girly-girl; I was more sensible than most women he knew. He also likes that the time I save by NOT putting on makeup/styling my hair (I prefer a pixie cut) can be put into our kids.

    In my experience, this guy speaks the truth! Listen to him. They could care less about the hair and makeup. :laugh:

    Only about 2% of us actually realize that we're naturally pretty, and don't need to do much to look attractive. We all need a little help to remember that we all have something beautiful about us, even without makeup.

    Thoughts?

    FTFY. :flowerforyou:

    Can get ready in under 30 mins including shower. I think that is pretty low maintenance. Oh and I don't color my hair either. It has nothing to do with thinking I am naturally pretty or not, I just like to sleep in as much as possible.

    When you look in the magazines and they have the guys vote on which look they like best, the "low maintenance" looks always still have makeup and hair done and are air brushed....just done to look "natural." These magazine polls give a false idea of what low maintenance or natural really is.

    I consider myself low maintenance but I still enjoy manicures, pedicures, getting my hair done, and wearing makeup. It just doesn't dominate my life. If we need to be ready in a hurry, I can do that. If I don't have the money to spend, I can make it work. But even my "low maintenance" lifestyle requires money and time to maintain.

    You know,

    I never asked my ex to pay for anything and I rarely wear make-up...

    and he still insisted I was high-maintenance.

    And I'm like "Dude, it takes you 2+ hours to get ready to go anywhere! I roll out of bed, and I'm out the door in 15 minutes."

    I don't get this high/low maintenance thing.

    Yes. My ex wife was soo phuckin high maintenance it was pathetic. And refused to hold a job after we got married (funny how a ring can bring out the real person). I am an engineer and still struggled to pay bills. Never again.

    I avoid high maintenance girls at all cost, they tend to be deceptive materialistic parasites.

    sweet baby jesus, yes, we want a low maintenance woman.

    if i can be honest...

    no, we don't care what you're wearing to dinner.
    no, we don't know if those shoes match your dress.
    we don't know what a clutch is (unless it's the kind in the car).
    no, we don't care about your make up. we're freaking hungry. hurry. up.

    We expect you ladies to take "some" time to look pretty,We get that. we like that. but within reason.
    Low maintenance could mean a lot of thing to a lot of people ,To me, I like a low maintenance woman, but you have to be man-enough to let her have her own mind and let her grow in her own terms. She might grow to compete with you and even challenge your manhood in certain times, As a guy you have to be okay with that too. I know, because I'm married to one for the past 27+ years. Conversely, if you want to have a hi-maintenance woman, guys will have to step into a daddy role, which mean managing and taken care of her "EVERY" need. It's a lot of work. but I have some of my guys friends that love that. Fills the male chauvinist need, I'd guess. Just my $0.02
