Why do men prefer low-maintanence women?

Don't get me wrong, we also enjoy deep conversations. But if we have to rack our brains every day trying to guess what she's thinking or what she wants, that's just too exhausting.

I asked my boyfriends, and he said:

As a man, I can say this:

Have you ever met someone and something seemed so unusual about them but you couldn't put your finger on what it was?

So yeah, a woman who's easygoing, independent, and doesn't need us to revolve around her 24/7 is very attractive to us. Of course, this doesn't mean we're unwilling to put in effort. We just hope the effort and reward are proportional.

A girlfriend who doesn't sweat the small stuff doesn't nitpick over little things, and understands that we occasionally need our own space and time. It's much less stressful and more comfortable to be with someone like that.

Many of us do prefer women who are easier to get along with. The reason is simple - life is already tough enough, who doesn't want to come home and just relax?

Should I have left it alone and kept quiet? I came out as gay to my adult kids last week. Age 61 married 15 years, divorced for 20. I feel so guilty for ruining their lives by living a lie.
