I would define someone as high maintence as the Carrie Bradshaw character on Sex and the City... A person with a lot of issues, selfish, basically exists in a vacuum where they are the most important person... They woudln't be caught dead in a dive bar, a casual dining restaurant, in jeans and sneakers or god forbid without makeup because style is more important than substance...

High maintence people, and they come in both genders, tend to need a lot of affirmations from the outside world, to remind them of their worth... rather than finding it in themself. That gets to be very tiresome after a while...

None of these qualities are really negative things...not willing to settle is a good thing, but high maintenance people tend to ratchet it up a notch, and it seems, though perhaps not consciously, that they are acting like this to make themselves seem more important than they really are.
