In my world, high maintenance isn't (only) someone who must wear Jimmy Choo shoes and have regular manicures, etc. That's just highly maintaining themselves. I'm not that way, but it's okay if someone else is.
The negatively high maintenance comes in when: they care a lot about what their potential partners wear, their shoes, their jobs, car, etc. Unfortunately, there's a higher correlation of Choo shoed women and high maintenance.
The even worse high maintenance comes in when: they are needy to the point of ridiculousness. Such as: you are having a conversation, you make a joke. A normal sort of joke that most people would laugh off. Not this person. They take it as if you meant them, and they get offended, and then you spend the next two hours apologizing and trying to take it back because they're so upset. When it was nothing.
The WORST kind of high maintenance person? The one who thinks they're not high maintenance. *shudder*
