Many people I know (especially women) bristle whenever this word is used to describe them. It’s a raw nerve that’s hit whenever a girl is called high maintenance. Boys are never really called this, because usually, it’s the boys who do the maintaining. So usually, a girl is either high maintenance or “one of the boys” or in Tagalog, “koboy”.
