Some people think that calling a girl low-maintenance is just code for lazy and unhygienic — in other words, undateable. Au contraire… her carefree attitude means she’s exactly the kind of girl you want to hang out with.
And if you’ve somehow found yourself one of these rare gems, consider yourself lucky.
#1. Her idea of a good time is binge-watching Netflix while stuffing her face with popcorn.
This girl’s no buzzkill, but she’s not known for her insane party skills, either. In fact, she would rather spend the night huddled under the covers, a slice of pizza in one hand and the TV remote in the other. Occassionally, she may put down the pizza and hold your hand.
#2. Drama? What drama?
Hissy fits, week-long cold wars, screaming fights — nope, that’s not her. If it’s true that drama makes life more exciting, then she’d rather be boring than crazy, thank you very much.
#3. She can walk out the door with a bare face and be perfectly comfortable.
While she occasionally indulges in lipstick and eyeliner, makeup is not an important part of her daily routine. She doesn’t need to put concealer on every blemish and make sure every strand of hair is in place in order to feel beautiful.
#4. If getting ready in less than 10 minutes was an Olympic sport, she’d be a gold medalist.
It takes longer for water to boil than for her to pick an outfit. #TrueStory.
#5. For her, every day is a t-shirt-and-jeans kind of day.
Life motto: Comfort > Fashion
#6. She would wear sweatpants everywhere if she could get away with it.
“Can’t the dress code just be… no dress code?”
#7. She doesn’t care what she looks like when she’s laughing.
When she’s thoroughly enjoying herself, she guffaws like there’s no tomorrow. Equal parts gums and adorable.
#8. You’ll never be too worried about where to take her on dates.
You don’t have turn every dinner into a major event. Her idea of a three-course meal? A burger, fries, and a cold pint of Heineken. Or you could just order Chinese food at home and open a bottle of wine, if you wanna be fancy.
#9. Travelling with her won’t be a pain in the ass.
Good news: you won’t be schlepping luggage the size of a refrigerator for a two-day vacation. Bad news: you’ll do all sorts of crazy activities and enjoy yourself so much you might not want to go back home.
#10. Even mundane things like shopping will be fun.
Who would have known buying a duvet cover could make you so happy?
#11. You’ll find yourself looking forward to housework for the first time in your life.
Okay maybe not. But at least cleaning and DIY won’t be as much of a pain if you have someone to sing Maroon 5 songs with.
#12. You won’t feel pressured to buy her expensive gifts.
She won’t pout if you don’t give her a Thomas Sabo bracelet for your anniversary. If it were up to her, she would rather you spent it on something you both could enjoy as a couple. *Cough* Disneyland! *cough*
#13. She doesn’t care about brands.
Her closet is 70% Gap. She would much rather save her money than spend it on an overpriced Starbucks latte. She thinks it’s ridiculous to spend 3 grand on a Louis Vuitton bag that will be holding receipts and old candy.
#14. It doesn’t take 500 text messages every day to make her feel loved.
She’s not surgically attached to her phone — or to you, for that matter. She won’t threaten to set your things on fire if you don’t reply to her within 10 seconds, either.
#15. She is her own hero.
This girl’s got the hang of her life and doesn’t need a Prince Charming to save her. She’s a self-assured, confident female. Her laid-back and casual nature is indicative of one thing: confidence. And that, my friends, is pretty darn sexy.
