Why do men prefer low-maintanence women?

Many of us do prefer women who are easier to get along with. The reason is simple - life is already tough enough, who doesn't want to come home and just relax?

Don't get me wrong, we also enjoy deep conversations. But if we have to rack our brains every day trying to guess what she's thinking or what she wants, that's just too exhausting.

I asked my boyfriends, and he said:

I’m a 25 year old teacher teaching at boys school & I have colleagues younger than me. I caught one of my students telling her he wanted her as his teacher instead & it hurt my feelings. They compliment her a lot. It makes me jealous. What do I do?

As a man, I can say this:

A girlfriend who doesn't sweat the small stuff doesn't nitpick over little things, and understands that we occasionally need our own space and time. It's much less stressful and more comfortable to be with someone like that.

So yeah, a woman who's easygoing, independent, and doesn't need us to revolve around her 24/7 is very attractive to us. Of course, this doesn't mean we're unwilling to put in effort. We just hope the effort and reward are proportional.

Why does a narcissist act like it's nothing when they hurt you?
