Here's the thing. I get a call from an ex-boyfriend of mine a few days ago... Actually, he is an ex-fiance. Really, it is a long story that I won't get into right now. I will tell you this much - We met in Renton, WA in 1991 (1992?). We still keep in touch. Well, he still keeps in touch. He has told me several times that he feels so comfortable talking to me - as a matter of fact, he says he can't talk to anyone as openly as he can talk to me. I have heard this before from other men. I make men feel like they can be themselves (so I hear). My ex-husband says that he can only breathe comfortably when is around me. That I am the only one that he never had to "pretend" around.
Great. I have a string of ex-boyfriends, and ex-lovers who think that I am comfortable to be around, and fun to hang out with. The ones that know me, know that I am pretty smart too.
What's the kicker? Why don't I have any staying power?
My ex-husband came to visit over the weekend, and he says that men like high maintenance women. He said, "90% of men want a woman who is high maintenance". So, men like women that shave their legs and pussy every single day. They want a woman who curls and twirls her hair every single day, and also want a woman that does her make-up to perfection EVERY SINGLE DAY. He even remarked that men like GIRLY GIRLS, girls that complain about breaking nails, and girls whose mouths run on incessantly talking about shallow girly things.
Wow. So...I have no chance in this world of keeping a relationship of any substance. I had no idea that men prefer high maintenance chicks to this degree. Men actually enjoy the nagging and complaining? They enjoy the girls that shop and talk about clothes and make-up and jewelry and tanning and boobs?!
I don't know how to do that, and if you know me, you know I am not exactly worried about getting my nails and hair "did"... I am fucking doomed.
Believe it or not, low maintenance can be sexy. At least you know what I am going to look like in the morning.

Huh. Well, I guess while my opinion doesn't exactly jibe with others, it is close. Look, neatly shaved legs and pussy ain't a bad thing and neither is finger-nail polish. You can have a lot of the rest of the crap...I wouldn't have it, but if they want it, let 'em have it. Since when were 'those' ex's such terrific characters or judges of those in others, anyway? I thought that is why they were ex's...I dunno, I've gone out with some sharp-looking women, but high maintenence? Ahhhhhhhhh...Ok. Maybe one. Or two...
Of course, I meant "maintenance", but I spelled it incorrectly.
I think I might just say...fuck school, and get my nails done, start jogging and get a sugar daddy. Hmmmm. That might be easier.
I'm gonna need a coach.
Oh yes, my darling veiner-schnitzel, I know you like the high maintenance ladies...but, I had know idea that the rest of the male population was too. Boy, I can be naive.
Although, just speaking purely from a self esteem stand point, I could definitely benefit from taking care of myself a bit more. Pampering...yes, I think I am on to something.
