Dating is hard enough, but it’s made even more difficult by people who have unrealistic expectations or unreasonable demands. And, unfortunately, it seems that some American women are guilty of this.

In today’s dating scene, we’ve heard stories of women dumping guys for the most absurd reasons. But is this behavior sustainable, or are high-maintenance women bound to be single their whole lives?

High-Maintenance Women and Being Single

Let’s start with the definition of high-maintenance women. These are women who have unrealistic standards and expect too much from their partners. They often have a long list of requirements that their potential partner must meet, and if they don’t, they’ll ditch them without a second thought. Unfortunately, this behavior often leads to them being single for a long time.

Some examples of the absurd reasons that high-maintenance women give for dumping guys include not liking the same TV shows, not having the same taste in music, or not liking the same food. These reasons may seem trivial, but for high-maintenance women, they’re deal breakers. And while having similar interests with your partner is necessary, it’s unrealistic to expect them to like everything that you do.

A woman on Tiktok even ditched a man in the middle of a date over three-dollar cheese.

Are high-maintenance women bound to be single their whole lives? The answer is yes — unless they’re willing to compromise and adjust their expectations. High-maintenance behavior puts a lot of pressure on both the person making the demands and the person trying to meet those demands. It’s not a sustainable way of building a healthy relationship.

False Sense of Entitlement

The problem with entitlement in dating is that it creates unrealistic expectations. Some American women have a false sense of entitlement, believing that they deserve the best of everything and that their partner should always cater to their needs. This belief can lead to a lot of disappointment and frustration in their dating lives.

Cultural norms can also contribute to this false sense of entitlement. In American culture, there’s a strong emphasis on individualism and putting oneself first. While this can be empowering in many ways, it can also lead to a lack of consideration for others. Some women may believe that they are entitled to certain things because they are successful or because they have worked hard. While there’s nothing wrong with having high standards, one must remember that a healthy relationship is a partnership, and both partners should be willing to compromise.

Examples of entitlement in American women’s dating lives can include expecting their partner to pay for everything, wanting their partner to always be available for them, or expecting their partner to prioritize their needs over their own all the time. This kind of entitlement can put a lot of pressure on a relationship and lead to a lot of conflict.

Sabotaging Their Own Dating Lives

The problem with entitlement and high-maintenance behavior is that it can sabotage women’s happiness. By having unrealistic expectations and being unwilling to compromise, women may miss out on potential partners who could have been a good match for them. They may also find themselves in relationships that are unfulfilling because their partners can’t meet their demands.

Entitlement and high-maintenance behavior can also have a negative impact on future relationships. If a woman has a reputation for being demanding or high-maintenance, potential partners may be put off and not even consider dating her. This can lead to a cycle of being single for long periods of time and feeling frustrated with the dating scene.

I know it may be tempting to have high expectations and be demanding in relationships, but a healthy relationship requires the occasional compromise between couples.

Don’t let entitlement and high-maintenance behavior sabotage your chances of finding a fulfilling and happy relationship.
