    That's why I cannot stand when women let a man tell them to not wear makeup... No one says to walk around like a drag queen, but makeup IS A GOOD PIECE OF FEMININITY! Believe that the same man that is telling you not to put on makeup, is looking at the next woman who has some on...

      The intention behind the man dating the woman is more important. There are rich old men who are comfortable with very beautiful gold digger women, people may blame those gold diggers but forget to see that her man is not fool to not know this, he is comfortable with her behavior. That does not give right to the guys to behave in same way with independent rich women who are not comfortable with male gold diggers. There is the dishonesty.

    Being low maintenance starts with the women in your family. And after you are going to find friends who believe in the same narrative. Believe me if you are a low maintenance women today do this.
    1 start to say no.
    2 take a long bath 🛀 with candles 🕯 and a nice calming music 🎶, if you have wine 🍷 bring a glass with you in, so you can enjoy.
    3 dress 👗, smell good and take a book 📖 with a healthy snack enjoy.
    4 don’t talk much, don’t get into arguments or gossips, everything you do today has to make your energy high.
    5 let whomever in the house do the cooking 🥘, you wait until they call out ,” the food is ready” and you smile and say 🙏 in a kind feminine voice.
    6 After eating go take a much needed nap 😴
    7 when you wake up, go for a walk if you can
    8 take a shower and bake a cake or re arrange the flowers 💐 or do something that is very feminine, if he had his clothes taking over the whole closet, now it is time to put in there all your very nice dresses that you never had time to put on , display them.
    9 start a very intelligent conversation lol, something that you know so much about it, in a calm voice with your wine next to you, don’t make lots of movements with your hands or face.
    10 Go to bed 🛌 in a very amazing pajamas, but before change your bed to something silk if you have one , or something you 💕.
    Pay attention how the wolves 🐺 are going to try to attack you lol 😂.

      I hated it there so I'm on the way to putting myself before anyone else now.
      I got rid of my toxic boyfriend a year ago and have felt more free.
      I got a couple of expensive statement pieces that reminds me of the old fly af me it felt good.
      This is the unraveling of years of pent up feelings of I'm not good enough for anyone or thing.
      I'm grateful for the experience because it showed me what not to put up with.

I'm currently talking to someone who's older than me and he has absolutely no problem with my lifestyle and how I want to be kept. My friend wants me to date her boyfriend's stepbrother who is 19. I explained to her that there are certain things that I want for my life that a 19 year old cannot do for me and she called me high maintenance. My response to her was simply...so? Ladies, don't let anyone guilt you for having the life that YOU want. If it's right for you, that's all that matters.

    My ex used to say that I behaved as if I wanted him to kiss my ass and that attitude would not get me far with him or any man. He wanted me to humble myself so that I was more "unapproachable" and "realistic" and not put myself on a pedestal. I had low self esteem at that time, so I complied. I didn't realize until years later that he was not on my level and that's why he reacted that way toward me, and I was well within my right to be as feminine and high value as I deserved.

    I’ve been shamed for being high maintenance since secondary school (high school). I live in the UK and common terms were words and phrases like “stoosh” “think you’re nice” etc. This came from boys and girls when I was in school. I was very quiet by the time college came around but everyone knew me as the girl whose hair and nails was always done and the girl who liked shopping and going to the beauty salon for treatments in between classes. I like to be pampered as my stress manifests itself physically so I have to stay on top of my upkeep. In adulthood I continued to get shamed by men as well as family members but I know what they’re doing, they’re trying to shame me into accepting less for myself and I won’t. I’m just not that kind of woman and never have been a woman to not take care of myself

    I come to the conclusion at 45 that I did a lot wrong in my relationship and marriage that now has long-lasting effects. Red flags looking back on this. Spending 10 years with a man that I had to use the phrase "When are we going to get married"? At the time still, living at home in a bad situation for years and having him look and say " Well what are you going to do"? Being the lead in getting an apartment and the list goes on. Married my husband and now I see my current situation. We are 50/50 and still 50/50 after I had to leave my career. I am on SSI and still pay half the rent. Still renting the same broken-down townhome and now chasing mice and dumping buckets from leaks under the sink. He is absolutely cool with our situation. It's a miserable existence. We will never own our own home, just got a car from his sister for the family. These are just a few things to show you to do better and do better early. If you are too accommodating you will get the bare minimum.

I never needed for anything but I always felt alone, misunderstood and stagnate as if I was living to the rhythm of their beat.

    Yes I did lowball myself for a broke man. But he wasn’t the type who was talking about having a “ride or die” or having me pay for his needs, no. He was audibly ashamed of not being able to provide for me and started to show his insecure in increasing amounts. It got to be so bad that he ended up acting out and I was quick to put an end to it.
    In the end, he agreed that he was not ready for a woman like me. I picked up myself with dignity and walked away. Sure I took a moment to grieve because I did care for him. But I know now that I am meant for more. The woman that I am needs certain things that he could never provide.

    I can honestly say I have suppressed my desire for maintenance in the past so as not to upset my partner or make him feel uncomfortable. I bought into the “Youre beautiful without this and without that” dusty talk. Simply because he was afraid those things would eventually become his burden or get me noticed by men who COULD afford it. I was young and dumb. Now I’m so extra specific about my needs. When a person comes into my space they know I like nice things and I like to shop and travel. My boyfriend is well aware of the fact that he needs to contribute to the maintenance that he gets to enjoy and he does. And I make GOOD money and he STILL does.

    A guy will usually read the 'calibre' of woman from the way that she carries herself, especially in her character and he will make the assumption as to how far in terms of 'cheapness' he can take her. Naturally a guy will provide he feels the woman is worth it. However, not any woman will do. Today, with such heightened feminism being taught, many women, take a lot less pride in their appearance, their education on current affairs, and, I daresay, homemaking skills, and think that to move forward they must appear successful by masculine standards. I asked a woman I recently met "Tell me, what book are you currently reading right now?" (simply to ascertain how she informs herself and her mind). Her answer "I don't really read" made me think, oh dear, how cultured and informed will my kids be if I had kids with her. I let that one pass......

      Wayne Murrell Good for you and thanks for sharing. Leveling up has more layers than an onion, and can be packaged in multiple ways. A truly leveled up woman reads and that puts her at an advantage over the woman who doesn't read because she feels it is of little to no value. I read books just to learn something new, which allows me to engage in better conversations over a broad range of topics among all types of people.
      It is simple questions like the one Wayne asked that many QUALITY men use ladies to gauge the 'caliber' of a woman, if he can't assess based off her appearance alone because it is so on point the way you answer questions will tell it all. Trust and believe! No need for these men to play games because they are busy, but they will ask simple questions like what you read above. Just like feminine women have a vetting process, so do high value men ladies.
      Now Wayne may I ask, what brings you to a CZcams channel geared towards hypergamous women?

    • @ashira118
      @ashira118 Před 4 lety +7

      So true Wayne, I am glad you passed on her. Listen hypergamous hive, a dusty man would not care if his kids are "cultured and informed", in my personal experience men who care about these things are usually stable in their personal life. Just because he did not put "if I marry her and have kids" does not mean he planned on skipping that step.
      From personal experience, I have had men ask me do I read, if so what type of books. I have had men ask me do I have a favorite TV show etc. I don't know any millionaire's, but many of my colleagues make low six figures. One of them told me he was on a date with a beautiful lady and she said her favorite TV show was RHWOA and Love&Hip Hop and she didn't read. He said he won't be seeing her anymore. A man making a 6 figure salary is by no means rich, but he usually worked hard to get that salary and he can provide and he knows he needs to vet his women properly or that money can be lost easily with one wrong move. The answers to all these questions give glimpses of who we are, yet they are so simple and in no form obtrusive. Learn to peep game ladies, Wayne was vetting and she failed, don't be that lady on a date. I am glad he shared his story. I hope some women can learn from these stories, instead of quick to judge and/or attack based on what is left out.

    I was born with the mindset of high maintenance. I couldn't see it any other way. But boy did I catch hell from everybody. My own mother. My own sisters. They would call me picky. Since they settled...they expected me to settle. I was rated by so called high value Male. They wanted to break me down. Somehow I made up my mind early to ignore the haters because I felt good being high Maintenance. Now that I'm much older....I decided to balance myself. It's a lot of work to remain high Maintenance. You really do not have time to waste. People use to accuse me of thinking I was too good to hang out. When all I was doing is showing my love for myself. And then patiently waiting for my king. My friends and family were always trying to rush me to settle down with any dusty that presented themselves. It became a lonely life. But...to make a long story short....this video just proved to me that I was right. I was always right. People need to stop wasting people time and just keep it moving. I'm not for you,!

    I didn't understand how valueable this information was until now. It will make or break you as a woman. On my mothers side it was mandatory to walk out looking your best. Head to toe, with cleanliness and neatness being top priority. Great grandma's down to children and newborns had to be CLEAN. Hair groomed, sexy but classy and nothing tacky or what's considered ratchet. And how you walked, talked, carried conversation and the words you use better be on point at all times! And our homes were always decorated with quality furniture and immaculately clean.
    I didn't understand that ppl, men observe this and that plays a huge role on how you're treated in public by strangers and the men that approach you. Women like Chloe are breaking it down and educating me on the results and/ or consequences of how we treat ourselves. Another thing that worked in our favor (the women) that was passed down and not intentionally (innate) we were mean women (never to women!) And drop dead gorgeous too. We are not overly friendly to men and weren't easily impressed. You had to be special to get time and attention. We put ourselves first and our family second. Men were not placed on a pedestal!!, and we knew how to treat valueable men and give them the seduction and praise they needed to reaffirm their hard work. Man could you see the difference!! Difference compared to women who didn't live placing themselves, looks, body, mind FIRST! Like I said, this was normal life, nothing to brag about. But now learning this info from PRICELESS women like Chloe❤❤ it has deeper meaning. It's the difference between inner peace and relaxation vs. anger, resentment and putting yourself last. I truly thank the Lord above I was taught what I was and I pray the women who need it can give themselves the precious love that they so much deserve. We can't get love from others, we HAVE TO get it from ourselves. Us black women NEED and deserve so much self love and nurturing.

    I wasn’t told this when I was younger. I grew up in poverty my mom would only say find you a man that love you with a job. She didn’t say good job, to be provided for. As I got older I saw that my mom had a down trodden mindset and was giving me advice. She would always talk about how her sister was demanding of her husband and demanded that he pay all the bills and provide like her daddy. See their mom didn’t have to work she had different odd jobs to help out but he didn’t need her money. she was provided for so I don’t know why my mom didn’t get the hint. She always said how hard her dad worked and that their mom was so demanding and mean and she would never make her man do all that. I’m married and when I started realizing what I wanted and started setting boundaries with my family and my husband . My mother said that I was too demanding of him. I don’t feel like I’m asking for enough I’m still working on it. I didn’t get disrespectful with my mom but I learned that you don’t have to take everybody advice I can listen but I don’t have to take it. It took me a while to realize that I’m the prize.

I started calling myself low maintenance too, thinking that was the way to go....and guess what, thats what I got...Peter pans. Struggling, building together, tired, frustrated, bitter and never satisfied. I wanted what my dad gave my mom. But mom didn't teach me and she passed when I was 22. I listened to my independent minded sisters and went down that path, which like I mentioned was a hard one.

    Man oh man did I relate to this video! Chloe- thanks for making this video! For years I thought it was a strength and a bonus quality that I took care of myself, didn't need flowers or jewelry and took care of "manly" things like fixing things and moving heavy objects. Boy did my (now-ex) husband and an ex-boyfriend take advantage of that! They zeroed in on my need to please and be selfless and did very little to provide to the relationship or home. They both learned that just a tiny bit of guilt-shaming (i.e. "You're selfish for wanting help with the house..." or "...time with outside friends" or "we dont have money for new clothes for you" [while he was being fitted for new suits]). I used to think my ex's new wife was kind of a princess (she kind of is) but was shocked to see my ex doing All Kinds of Things for her that he never did for me (she's a nice person, but certainly not prettier or more-successful or...(fill in the blank). She just demands more from him, and gets it.
    I've pointed this out to my daughter, in recognizing that there's value in demanding you be treated with respect and care and be taken care of (and to balance between being able to take care of yourself With asking for and being ok with receiving help, presents, protection etc.)
    You teach people how to treat you.
    This is a hard-learned lesson that I'm still learning, and appreciate people like Chloe helping us women to respect and value ourselves.

    In the same way, I pray this touches your heart, may God give us the grace and wisdom to see people for who they truly are, if they are pulling us down, or lifting us up. A man should be a leader, not a project.

    As a Christian woman I don't wear nails, weave or makeup and I have natural hair. This does NOT mean that I don't practice hypergamy. I still get my natural hair washed at the salon and get modest mani/pedis not to mention I like a modest designer bag and shoes here and there. I'm all for the 'stay at home wife with a small business' marriage model and won't be marrying into anything less. I do spend a lot of time ensuring that I am versed on current affairs, that I am well read, attend and participate in church, volunteer and have meaningful hobbies. I don't classify myself as a 'strong, independent black woman' and I'm not 'ride or die' and I calmly inform my male suitors of this fact. For those women who may not identify with weave or false nails and prefer little to no makeup for whatever reason, you still are deserving of a hypergamous lifestyle and will be kept by your man.

      @@Ellenm6775 and the other Ladies. The above statement was neither intended to cast judgement on anyone that is/isn't Christian nor was it a personal attack on anyone's personal preference. I was simply stating my own preference and wanted to assure women who feel similarly that you should 'act and look the part' (However you are compelled to do so @Chloe_ gives some excellent tips to consider) and the hypergamous lifestyle will still be an option for you without compromising your Faith. This statement was meant to uplift those to whom it applies. It's interesting how quickly people are offended and are judgemental when you state that you are a Christian and you do things a certain way solely because of that fact, but that is an entirely different discussion. I didn't say I was perfect, I stated my preference. If the comment doesn't uplift you or if it offends you or if you don't agree, then the comment was not intended for you since I clearly stated that it was written in an effort to encourage my fellow sister. Please feel free to scroll past it.

      @@chinneynz7861 I absolutely agree with you and I'm sure they do not feel that their attire compromises their Faith. Hence the part of my comment that states 'act and look the part' whatever that means to each woman. I also went a step further to include my personal preference that I do not wear fake hair, nails or makeup as they would compromise my Faith. All while hoping to encourage those who feel similarly.

    I’m 68 and I have had the lessons that I learned from. I have and continuously grow into the highest high value woman. It didn’t come without bruises and such. I know too much about a man to be anything else. Even a hint of being less than high value, you can see their respect immediately go down 40%. And I’ve decided that no man is going to disrespect me and get away with it.

    Been on both sides. My ex was a provider and the jealousy from other women was shameful. Being in the "struggle" of a broke man is revered. Not me says I...even if he does not have a shitload of money, a man can still treat a women high value by his actions and efforts. Never settling again! Setting my expectations much higher now! I have worked to hard to low ball myself any longer!

    When I got with my man he made less than me… I didn’t make a big deal about maintenance because I know he couldn’t afford it. Fast forward 5 years, he makes 5xs as much as me now it’s damn near impossible to explain to him that I want maintenance. He got used to being no maintenance.

      Since he has the money now,you don't need no explanation,just simply demand it and hold your ground .it's that simple.explanation to house of representatives or is it parliament.just the way you didn't demand it,use the same energy to demand it.

    I'm learning so much. I was raised to believe I would be undesirable and should take whoever would be interested. I was never trained how to take care of myself and declare my worth. I've been working hard my whole life, and never understood what magic the women had who were able to find a provider relationship. Even when I dated men who had a lot of money, they never wanted to take care of me, and I never understood why. This channel and all of the femininity content on youtube is opening my eyes so much. I'm married now to a wonderful man who I love very much, but we're definitely in a 50/50 situation, even though when we started dating we both wanted a more traditional arrangement. I'm hoping as I change myself I can change our relationship. Thank you for this incredible lesson. I'm really grateful.

The last man who took care of me was my Father. Now, I now don't expect it but I no longer want it. I've been on my own for to long. I am paranoid at the idea of these men following their money.

    It´s amazing to see how must of our lives as black women have been similar no matter where we are from. I am an afrolatina and I´ve seen so much suffering in my family and strangers. My grandmother got a husband that cheated on her repeatedly and in the end, he left her alone with five children. She had to work and take care of all of them by herself. She never got the chance to rest or do something that she really wanted. My mom went ahead and did the exact same thing: she got a husband that earned significantly less than her and had me and my sister. He NEVER gave a penny for our clothes, house, food, car, education, ANYTHING. If you asked him to give you something, he would say you were using him as a bank. So, then he took us (my mother, my sister and I) out of my MOTHER´S house and she had to buy another house, pay for our education and everything else by herself and, even after all that, my dad still resent the three of us because we never ''look out for him''. My aunts, on the other hand, live afraid of men because of what they´ve seen and never leveled up. In conclusion, I never considered my mom, aunt, or grandmother as a good example AT ALL! I don't want my sister or me to have that kind of life and it´s reassuring to see that black women are finally awaking from the thought that we have to do everything by ourselves.

    This is great information. That toxic social engineering, particularly in the Black Community regarding women receiving: shame, guilt, apathy (50/50, in all of its forms) are such low vibrational emotions. These low vibration emotions destroy both femininity and masculinity, and have contributed to this played out "battle of the sexes," in which people are literally working against their own wiring. Keep up the great work chloe_!

    Yeah, I get annoyed by women (and men), who say: you have to lower your standards, otherwise you'll never find a man. I don't have abnormally high standards, i'm just lucky to be able to witness healthy relationships around me.. thank God for that. My best friend was low maintainance for a long time. One day, she decided that it was enough. She upgraded herself and her standards, and now she married the most kindhearted, loving, providing and masculine man. He is not at all a whimp. He also has high standards and values, and plays by them. Not a dusty, not a hypocrite, just a wholesome, strong, high value man.
