Starting with the idea last week when I wrote about stupid people, not knowing they are stupid, I have progressed to high maintenance people.Now, my problem with stupid people is, how do you define stupid? I should have actually meant "unaware" people, or "clueless" people. They are the stupid people because they just don't know, or just don't get it and once they figure it out, and stop doing it, they promote themselves out of being dumb or stupid.
We all have high maintenance friends, and depending on the crowd you keep, you might have many. Problem is, people who are high maintenance, again, don't THINK they are high maintenance...I have finally figured out why they don't. -Just like stupid people, if they admit to being HM, than their confidence takes a hit. HM people as we all know, are crazy insecure people. Taking a hit on the chin for them is a knock out blow that their ego just can't take. So in their minds, they create another definition of what HM REALLY means to them.
For example: A sterotypical HM person who needs a lot of attention, is very needy and needs to always be told how great they are and can't ever get enough, will think HM means that don't they take too much time to get ready to go out. Or can't see themselves being HM because they can rough it in the woods camping and doesn't need to always have make up and appear prissy, even though they take 2 hours to get ready to go out. High Maintenance people cannot usually suffer through something that they think to be "intolerable" That's the way I classify it...
Now, I will admit that I can be HM and of course anybody who knows me, accepts the fact that I am always in the spotlight or trying to get there. But I don't understand why people who need a lot of pretentious things to make their life perfect, need to go out and have people stare at them, who know they are beautiful people yet always need to hear it.- And if they don't get the attention they THINK they deserve, or are used to, become a real prick in the ass.
Another example...I love it when really good looking women who are already naturally beautiful spend hours getting ready to go out. I used to think that they were preparing to look their best to get the attention of men. And maybe to a small part, that may be true. But the REAL reason they spend that extra time in front of the mirror, is to look better than her closest female counter-part.
-It's not enough that they are already beautiful and get all the attention that a normal woman would love, but they need to be the BEST looking woman who gets ALL the eyes on her. And if you go to a club, you can spot these women a mile away... And yes, for your info, we as men, know that she's completely high maintenance. She is the epitome of us not looking for Miss Right; she's Miss Right NOW. These girls are like the prized fish on a Deep Sea expedition. If they see a great fish that would look fantastic on their wall, they keep it and it's called a "trophy". A sort of, "look what I caught" sort of story...
To be fair, I need to make a Male Counter-story...I love people watching in these aforementioned clubs. These arm candy women prance around, and low self-esteem guys who can't pick up a woman on their own abilities need to use a bank roll, credit card and a sugar daddy approach to pick them up. I call it small dog syndrome, or small dick syndrome. And the funny part is, it's these loser guys who keep women like this in business. Because there will always be another loser to come along and give it to her over and over again. But it always equals out, because these 2 losers are perfect for each other. They both don't know what love is, but they are perfect for each other in this role.
I think HM people are emotionally draining. It's like they have an emotional bank account that constantly needs deposits, but yet are ALWAYS emotionally backrupt. The worse part about this, is that as soon as one person removes themselves from the HM person, another person will replace them with another victim.
As I stated above, I think good looking people are usually the first to getting their way, and have gotten the attention they need over the course of their lives. Thus the idea that good looking people usually have the worst personalities. -Because they just don't need one. That's why you always hear a woman sit and complain about a tall, dark and handsome man who opens his mouth and ruins the fantasy...They will give every opportunity to this guy to NOT disappoint them, but in the end, he opens his mouth and removes all doubt. That's when the phone companies stock goes up, because she calls every girlfriend that she has asking "what should I do?" She asks this question a million times and gets the same response and STILL doesn't "know" what to do. -She knows what she SHOULD do, but she doesn't want to do it... She wants to have him change and become the man she THINKS he SHOULD be...
And for those commenting on my notes thinking I am bitter, or targeting you, ease up. Open your eyes and have a good look to see if you are the person I am talking about and make some changes. I promise you that you will be a much better person for it. So I'm not bashing you, I am only writing about things that my friends and others talk about that everyone can relate to in life. I'm not attacking you, I'm just writing.
I appreciate your feedback, but don't assume that I'm bashing you. This is after all, my spot to post blogs...
In my view, HM women go to these bars, knowing full well that they will get hit on by what you call "small dick men"....yet at the end of the day, HM women live very lonely lives...
ReplyDeleteAs for HM men..nothing wrong with working out, staying in shape, proper grooming, conscious, thier act together, looking proper etc. Sometimes I get the HM card but I WANT to look good! With these men, the belief that they are gods gift to women is a huge turnoff.
If HM people had any depth to them, maybe they could find a decent life partner. After viewing this in my childhood, univeristy and adulthood...I can see why single men like me avoid these women like the plague. After all if "plain Jane/Joe" can find a life-partner...what was that problem again Miss Right Now?/Mr. HM
Lol, very interesting point of you not only from you Chuck but also from HEJ. As you said, HM people come in different forms and I do think that it not only means looks but mainly means a lack of personality and for it in other ways (like looks, emotional neediness etc). To be honest there are plenty of people who aren't "beautiful" (in the traditional way) and yet they are still incredibly high maintenance. And yes HEJ, HM people (not just women) lead incredibly lonely lives in the end.....
ReplyDeleteSo that's my 5cents....
