I actually think it’s adorable when guys are super low maintenance. It gets me to realize what really matters and what is unnecessary in my own life. It is easy to get distracted by the need to accumulate and manage things that add more nuisance than value.

One guy I dated slept on a mattress straight on the floor. The only legitimate furniture he had was a couch and two chairs. He didn’t own a car. He had no window treatments several dozen floors up in a high rise. He wore the same exact thing every day. He at least had multiples. He also had a bunch of clothes his ex-girlfriend “made” him get that he resolved to give away because he couldn’t figure out where to put them after he tore his closets out. Again, adorable.

This guy is worth several dozen million. He is just ridiculous. We broke up because he was actually too old for me (and still like this, lol).

The guy I’ve been most romantically attracted to in my life was similar. He seemed to always be wearing a black shirt and lived in a studio with no color and almost no furniture.

It is especially inspiring when people who have the means choose not to be weighed down by extra stuff. I think especially as women, we feel the need to have a wide variety of different outfits with different accessories. It gets really confusing and unnecessarily complicated. And while I love looking pretty, at the end of the day, I end up with all this junk I wasted money on that I then have to figure out where to put. Theres nothing I hate more than clutter. Clutter in my home always ends up being clutter in my mind.

I also hate being high maintenance because it places restrictions on how I can live, where I can go, risks I can take. It’s really freeing if you know everything can go to shit and you’ll still be okay. It means you can put everything on the line for the things you want in life and not be afraid. Then again, maybe women don’t want that in a man they invest in.
