Not Before Coffee

It’s long been said that women are high maintenance creatures. Is it true that men really believe all females are high maintenance, relationship-wise? Why do guys describe women this way claiming that this is one of the major reasons they don’t consider a relationship with them?

What I do know is women are most commonly known to be emotional creatures. They will search for that special connection with men. Seeking the warmth and attention, Love, that a male partner can give based on the level of need.

I want to argue that not all women are materialistic or gold-diggers. I believe most are individuals who have simple needs and money of their own. However, there are the ones who see wealthy men as charming like all princes in fairy tales. Of course, all princes are rich, right? I reckon these women simply just dream to be princesses. If only fairy tales are true.

If I try to look at it in a different angle, is it wrong to be practical? Should a want for money create a ill-trusted reputation for the girl? And if you are living a comfortable life, or a luxurious one, will you choose to be with someone who will fail to provide such things over someone who won’t? Without a doubt, love should be present within the relationship, but what if it is without question that you do love both equally and the decision is on your consideration of the financial capabilities of these men?

Case in point, women in relationships don’t really look at the money but at the entire package. Sure, a man with a pocket full of green has an advantage but it will not seal the deal. The wisdom of it is money cannot give you the satisfaction of waking up next to the man you want to look at lying next to you every morning for the rest of your life. Nor can it replace the man you want to embrace, knowing he can support you intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. A real commitment is, after all, a union of kindred spirits, mutual friendship and trust, and over-all compatibility and it’s not just about paper and plastic, personal property and social status.
