Are you high maintenance?
Men beware: High maintenance is a turn off. It’s becoming more and more common for a guy to be into his appearance, image, or his own personal needs. While these guys can be great to look at – and probably smell amazing – dating them can be a lot of work.
I’m not opposed to hard work but I think that at some point, the high maintenance type gets tiring. You grow tired of their egos, attitudes, and their growing list of demands.
What happens when two high maintenance people meet and date? I’ll tell you, their egos have a battle and somebody loses.
Have you ever dated someone who is high maintenance? What do you consider high maintenance?
Are you guilty of exhibiting a little high maintenance behavior? How do you keep it in check?

A man and his girlfriend are having a sexual encounter.
He asks her to ”go downtown” so, with a sigh, she gets on her knees in front of him and starts peering at his genitals, looking and tipping her head this way and that, studying the whole business. After about five minutes of this, he asked her in a sort of peeved voice ”Well, just what are you doing?” She said ”I’m doing what I always do when I’m downtown with no money!

Reio – If you can describe it then it’s something. I was going to say if you can’t see it then how would you describe it, therefore being nothing yet we can’t air or the wind but we know they they’re something it’s something…right?

Maybe nothing is the absence of something, like darkness is the absence of light and evil is the absence of good. (shrugs)

Celisea – It has been said that, the absence of “something” is “nothing”. That is, if you can’t see,hear.feel, or taste it, you have nothing. Well, the question then becomes, why have a term for it? since you can’t see,hear,feel, or taste it. So, “nothing” would have to be “something” Because, when you do not have “something”, “nothing” exists, making it “something”. Eventhough they can’t co-exist.

Do they have the straws to stick in the pouch too! It’s not easy getting those straws in w/o puncturing the other side. Yes, I’ll speak for myself…..
