Well I'd say I'm a lot like you Osuche in the things you've mentioned here, but no-one has ever described me as low maintenance......

I expect to be treated with respect and as an equal by my man, whether I behave like a 'lady' or not. That's the whole point of equality. I need my guy to be sensitive to my needs, thoughtful, generous and adoring. I need him to show this to me pretty much constantly, as I do to him. I expect him to respect, but not necessarily share, my opinions.

I also expect him to appreciate me when I make the effort with my appearance, and still think I'm beautiful when I don't. I do expect him to make an effort for special occasions, and to take an interest in the things that are important to me, whether it's his 'thing' or not. Added to this, I expect him to occasionally put himself out for me, for something that's important to me, as I do the same for him.

I think that makes me pretty high maintenance, and I wonder if your friend, has misunderstood the concept of 'high maintenance' and has got it confused with 'helpless'.

Oh and plus, if women in England waited for guys to open doors for us, we'd never even be able to leave the house!!!! It's just not done here anymore.
