    Just saw this today on MSN.com and thought i would post the link , i think we have all been here at one time or another..

    http://msn.match.com/msn/article.aspx?articleid=2491&TrackingID=516311&BannerID=544659

    heres a quote..

    "The picnic test. If you have doubts about her high-maintenance level, put it to the test. See how she handles an impromptu picnic. Suggest casual food from the deli, a cookout, or wine, bread and cheese.

    Then, gauge her reactions carefully. Dirk, a Minneapolis marketing manager, didn’t discover he was dating a high-maintenance woman until it was too late. When he was in his early thirties, he dated twentysomething Jodi for a couple of years.

    “On our way to a picnic, we had to stop so she could buy a new outfit, out of my pocket of course, because the one she took an hour to pick out on her own wasn’t good enough for the picnic.”

    :D

    Ah, poor aul Dirk. Then again, if he was worth his salt he would have realized he wasn't compatible with his girlfriend in the two years before the picnic!

    Is the picnic to test whether she's high maintenance or to show he's gay???

    I think the term "gay" was used in stay of a general derogotory term.
    And picnics are a bad idea for about 9months of the year in this country.

    We're not repressed, we just don't like getting needlessly drenched unless she's wearing nothing but a thin white camisole and a pair of heels/fúckme-boots.

    Aren't those days long over. We've got equality now don't we? If she wants a new frock for the picnic, she can buy it herself out of her own money.

    Can this possibly be real? She must be the most vein person on the planet, and he must be the thickest gobshíte ever.
    Come to think of it, I think they're perfect for each other ;)

    skittishkitten you fall straight into the typical american girl category...and maybe also the d4 one too..but you would have to live over here to get that one

    Another good test is...will she go packpacking or go for boring 5 star hotels.

    Ugh, if a women ever describes herself as a Goddess, time to turn away and move on.

    'I am a God and deserve to be treated like one...on your knees before me, bask in my glory, sacrifice to my altar, and make me a sandwich FAST!'

    haha, I pity anyone who ends up with one of these High maintenance Goddesses. I mean, come on, who really wants a male lapdog? Not me for one. And a picnic to me indicates getting pissed in a forest and doing animal impressions :D
