Men love to lead simple lives free from drama. That's why they're more attracted to women who are low-maintenance and down to earth. They enjoy being in relationships where they aren't constantly stressed out along with their partner and forced to worry about every little thing. Here are a few of the most important low-maintenance traits men want their girlfriends to have:

1. Not Picky
When a man takes the time to pick out an outfit and restaurant for a date, he doesn't want you to criticize his choices. If you do, then it's only going to make him feel bad about himself, like he isn't good enough. Men love low-maintenance women, because they're more likely to appreciate the hard work he put into the date, even if the evening turns out to be a dud.

So ladies, remember to show gratitude and keep an open mind. Every effort he makes is a step towards creating a special moment between the two of you. Compliments on his choices can go a long way and encourage him to keep planning future adventures for you both. A little appreciation for his efforts can mean the difference between a good date and a great one.
2. Not Obsessed with Money
A gift should get a thank you, no matter how pathetic it is. Men appreciate that low maintenance women will be happy that they received jewelry, even if it didn't cost hundreds of dollars. As much as men want to treat their women like princesses, they don't want to feel like they're being forced to waste their paychecks on elaborate gifts.
3. Not a Drama Queen
Sure, your man might ask you how your day at the office was, but that doesn't mean he actually wants to hear every little detail about the frenemies you work with. Men aren't fans of gossip, because it signals trouble. That means they don't want to know about what a jerk your girlfriends are or about your hairdresser's private life. Low-maintenance girls are more casual and friendly, which means that they're less likely to be constantly talking about drama.
4. Not a Big Spender
If a man is going to spend the rest of his life with you, he'll feel better about his decision if you're careful with money. High-maintenance women like to have designer bags and dresses, so they'll be more likely to waste away whatever money they earn. Being good with your money won't only help you secure a good home, but it might make your man marry you.
If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.
5. Not a Time Waster
Your man wants you to look your best, but he doesn't want you to spend hours in the bathroom before leaving the house. High-maintenance women won't budge until every hair is in place. That's why he'd rather be with a woman who is happy with herself, even when her makeup is a little smeared.

6. Not Superior
Some high-maintenance women assume that they're better than everyone else. While a man wants his girlfriend to have confidence, he also wants her to realize that they're equals. If one person believes that they're better than the other, the relationship will never work. Men love low-maintenance girls, because they never act like they're superior. They know that they're human, just like everybody else.
7. Not Materialistic
Low-maintenance women aren't fooled into believing that material items are the most important thing in the world. When a woman values her jewelry and gems above him, he won't be happy. He'd prefer to be with a woman who knows that love truly is the most important thing.
Every man is different, but most of them value these traits, because it'll make the relationship run smoother. Do other consider you high or low maintenance?

Sassy121: Ifs guy goes out with a Paris Hilton type then they know exactly what they are getting into. I do agree with Daniel that guys just want a hug not rehash a bad day. I find they open up once you just hug them and let them tell you what went wrong. Most times they just want someone to talk to and listen.
Daniel: Amen Sandy! The point isn't that we want to change ourselves into something we are not but that we want to be a better person! Works the same for both species! Want a better PERSON be a better PERSON!
Jennifer: Men ask for way too much. How abt what we like!? Be yourself.
Lex: Amen Jenna!!!!
Beryl: I think if a man is successful then he usually wants to spoil you a bit. Most men like ladies to enjoy their food albeit a five star one or just a sardine and lettuce one in the park. Be yourself and if it doesn't fit in with his life then tough- there is always someone else who thinks you are fabulous just as you are.
Sandy2pointo: I have to agree with Daniel. Who says a woman shouldn't maintain her own expensive tastes. Some women want all the requirements but put little effort towards obtaining some on her own. Ever wondered why the men of high maintenance women cheat with lower maintenance women? Men get tired of maintaining women who think it's their birth given right to be waited on hand and foot. There is nothing wrong with a man or woman having standards but high maintenance will leave heartbroken and alone. It's about being leveled and meeting your guy half way if u want a meaningful and successful relationship.
Sandy2pointo: Sorry I meant to say some women want men to meet all of her requirement but put little effort to meeting those same requirements.
kissmebbylove: just be yourself. if you are a high maintence gurl then be it
Cori: Um. I read most of this article with our roles reversed!
Serene: I am me and he loves me as I am, warts and all. We don't 'change' but rather we give and take. That's what a relationship is all about. Additionally, I am working and don't need him to 'maintain' me. We decided that we will b careful with money so that we build a healthy nest egg and can retire early.
