The quality of woman you want

There are a lot of high maintenance men out there as well. From expensive clothes to expensive toys ...always wanting to be on the go to be seen. Expensive and tiring..........

Yes,Air it goes the other way too.My X husband was a good example.Especially when it came to his toys.
 
It is funny how some men complain about some women being high maintenance, yet they seem to prefer marrying those high maintenance women instead of marrying low maintenance women. Go figure.
 
Sorry to hear your ex- was high maintenance, Kathi . Not fun at all at times, was it.

Well,she has to make sure her nails(fingernails and toenails) are perfect.That is goin cost.She has to make sure her hair is perfect and always colored.I have known women to spend $200.00 on a haircut.That is goin cost.She has to make sure she buys the best makeup.That is going to cost.She likes expensive clothes,shoes,purses etc...That is going to cost.
I am the cheapest you can get in the category of low maintenance.A guy was once talking about his wife.He said she was very low maintenance.I compared myself to her.He just stood there with his mouth open :lol I just don't need all that stuff.

I'm with you especially seeing I'm no longer working in an office, that lowers the clothes expense quite a bit. I have a friend who wanted to treat me to a pedicure because it's so relaxing? Really?
I graciously turned it down and told her I'd much prefer just her company over a cuppa' and maybe a turnover on the side.
 
I'd rather have a cuppa' and an apple turnover with a friend than go for a pedicure, too.........

I memorized that verse recently :)
 
I met my husband at a partial hospitalization clinic. The day he saw me he knew I was the one. That night he prayed for hours that I would marry him. (Though I didn't know this till much later.) After awhile of dating he said to me that he didn't know where he was going in life, but he wanted to take me with him. (Romantic, huh? Made me cry.)

Neither of us have drivers licenses, nor own a car. We live in an one bedroom apartment. We do, however, have many video games and books. (I LOVE to read and study!)

We live a very simple life.
I don't give a rats behind that we're kinda poor.
Our love is real. We are best friends. Wouldn't want it any other way. ;)

You are looking for a woman who is always wanting more? Or are you trying to stay away from such a woman? :neutral

I'm trying say men seek made-in-heaven type of women. Illusionist!

And women too parade the illusion that we are inestimable angelic commodity, sorta :lol

Are you saying that some men want a trophy that they can show off to their friends?Look what I have.But is it true love.Looks fade.People get older.That is just an ego thing.
 
I have noticed that church going men have really high standards. They are missing out.

Yeah I noticed that, too.
They expect to have a wife that is perfectly christian and has a flawless and totally committed faith life. Oh and they best be virgins and submissive to their husband. But women like that rarely exist.
 
no worries. (well, just the opposite, huh?) --- a man right with God is hard enough to find.... a good wife is sheer gift from God, grace!

2 excellent books in line with Scripture and easy to read short paperbacks for those seeking God are
"Total Woman" and "Total Joy" by Marabel Morgan
they are written by a Godly woman for women,
but I read them and found them both good and right reading and encouraging/supportive for living God's Way for husband AND wife.

Like the Scripture itself though, the instructions are not for the worldly, but for the followers of Jesus immersed in Him.
