Only high effort men can keep up with high maintenance women.

i hate how people only get the message when women are compared to cars lol

Men want our standards low, so they can be applauded for doing the bare minimum. I’m very put together, but also very easy to talk to and good company. Men confuse this and say,”Wow! You’re so down to earth.” I don’t like that. I’m no snob, but I realize the second men suspect we’re remotely able to enjoy simple pleasures, they will start to lower their efforts. They can’t seem to reconcile that a woman can enjoy simple things and higher-end experiences at the same time. They’re like,”Whew! She’s actually smart and nice. Time to eat takeout on my couch from now on.”

So as far they’re concerned, in the early stages of dating, I’m a queen. They usually eliminate themselves after a few weeks. It’s unfortunate. I don’t bother anymore.

Zaddy talk lmfao

My brother swore off dating due to women being too “high maintenance these days”. Told my brother that women aren’t high maintenance he’s just low effort.

You have to make everything either an analogy to cars or sports for the idiot low value men to understand. I understand what he did there and I would have done the same thing. “You can’t get a Rolls Royce for Honda Civic prices, stay mad and broke”

Interesting_Day1188 · 2021-02-28T04:32:28+00:00

Why are we always compared to cars? Why?

miss_peach94 · 2021-02-28T00:37:56+00:00

I liked where he was going... Til he compared us to vehicles.

Undeserving and underperforming??? :/ let me not

We women all have value. We all deserve to be treated well.

I'm glad to see other comments criticizing this. I found this cringe worthy and I find people often blindly upvote without giving the content much thought. From his photo, he doesn't look young. He is too old to be this embarrassing. Zaddy talk. WoMeN aRe cArs. What? When they compare us to things, which is all the time, they ALL love the car comparison. It's fascinating in the worst way. No matter who they are, where they come from. CARS.

He's comparing some women to broken down cars and he's gonna tell you which woman is deserving of effort and which isn't? I don't think so. I don't think men like him should be posted here. He reeks of bullshittery. There is some MRA bullshit hidden behind this shaky ideology he's presenting here. I got the weirdest vibes just from the first slide and it kept getting worse.

BungalowBootieBitch · 2021-02-28T06:59:08+00:00

The gag is that the moment you ask to go somewhere nice on a date, you're suddenly high maintenance. If I don't agree to a burger in his car while we watch netflix on his phone, I'm too high maintenance.

2021-02-28T04:36:47+00:00

OK, but who is he to say which woman is undeserving and which one isn’t? Scrote should be grateful anyone ever gave him the time of day

Weremaid · 2021-02-28T12:06:46+00:00

I disagree that some women are “Hoopties.” And deserve to be treated worse. All women have value, some just don’t realize it, and accept poor treatment. I also don’t like the idea that you have to “pay more” for better “performance” what the hell is that? You’re not ”paying” to purchase the woman of your choice, you’re “paying” because you value the happiness and security of your partner.

In analogies like this, the fact that women “pay” to be with the man completely evades their notice somehow. As women we “pay” with our time, attention, and emotional labor, all while shouldering 99% of the risk. The very least the man can do is pay for lunch..

Turbulent_Gazelle · 2021-02-28T05:11:02+00:00

Men of means don't complain about how much something costs; only broke men do that. You have every right to expect a man you date to meet or exceed the level of maintenance you do for yourself and to have no problem maintaining it for you FROM DAY ONE. If he can't (or won't), you know he's not deserving of your time.

yolosunshine · 2021-02-28T10:10:03+00:00

Yeah this was ok in that he says ‘your relationship gonna be work, you want an awesome gf, get over it’

Very concerned about the overall message of ‘you paid Rolls prices for a hooptie and now you’re tired’ message.

LVM vs HVM are based on behaviors and traits; this nonsense is about car parts and people parts.

AntinatalistChick · 2021-02-28T12:16:44+00:00

Yes, but he basically compared women to objects the whole time

Bitchkittenzz · 2021-02-28T07:33:48+00:00

Can I say this? I don’t think this is accurate or beneficial for this sub...no woman is “undeserving” or “ low maintenance”, some women are just tolerating the low maintenance attention they receive because they A. Haven’t seen this sub B. Going through a shitty breakup or C. Recovering/current pickmeisha(see A).

Any man worthy of your time won’t see high maintenance, just high standards.

Don’t settle, stand your ground. You’re worth it, and if no one can step up to the plate, you’re fine on your own. Make something beautiful, it’s your life. Live it.

Swing and a miss. We are not products to be acquired. We do not deserve respect because we "earned it", we deserve respect because we are human being just like they are. Imagine if we only gave respect to men who "earned it", instead of just giving basic respect to the people we meet, men and women included.

Actually I don't want to imagine this, because men beat women up for less.

Hmtnsw · 2021-02-28T04:50:26+00:00

Rolls-Royce because not a Pinto. 💁‍♀️👸

starlight_sequence · 2021-02-28T16:03:50+00:00

I knew my ex-bf's mom was going to hate me the second he told me before our first meeting she asked "Is she high-maintenance?"

Yes, yes I am.

She ended up being the reason we broke up.
