Can We Guess If You're High or Low Maintenance From This "Would You Rather" Quiz?

By: Monica Lee

Would you rather go to a concert or a fashion show?

Fashion Show

Concert
Just make sure I'm sitting in the front row, so I can see the catwalk.

I hope it's an outside concert, so we can sit under the stars.

Would you rather get a massage or take a hike?

I hate bugs, I'll take a massage any day.

Fresh air and sunshine? Let me get my hiking shoes.
As long as I can work up a sweat hiking

Why would ANYONE choose hiking? Don't be ridiculous. Send the masseuse to my house.

Would you rather eat ice cream or have someone take a picture of you?

Take my picture, of course.

I'm up for ice cream, but if you want to take my picture while I'm eating, that's fine.
As long as I'm having a good hair day you can take my picture, but I have to approve it before you send it to anyone.

Ice cream!

Would you rather learn how to weave intricate baskets with palm leaves or how to program code?

They both suck, but if I have to choose it's the baskets, but I better not get paper cuts!

I like working with my hands, so basket weaving sounds like the better choice.
You've got to be kidding. No and No.

I've always wanted to learn how to basket weave. I can't wait to make presents for my friends!

When it comes to trying new food would you rather try fish eggs (caviar) or mealworm salsa?

Worms? Are you kidding me? It's caviar, of course.

Since I love salsa anyway ... I guess I'd go for that.
Everyone loves caviar. Is this a trick question?

Mealworm salsa? I hear it has tons of protein. When can I try it?

Would you rather be stared at for a year or invisible to people for a month?

Stared at for a year

Invisible for a month
How is this even a decision? I already turn head no matter where I go.

Invisibility could be very cool.

Would you rather go a month without bathing or a month dressed as a homeless person?

No one is going to see me looking like a homeless person. I'd refrain from bathing (and sweating).

I guess I would be a homeless person. I love my morning shower.
I simply can't do either one.

I get my vintage clothes from the Salvation Army anyway. Homeless it is.

What would you rather look at, a beautiful sunset or beautiful jewelry?

I love how jewelry sparkles.

I love seeing a gorgeous sunset.
I get to keep the jewelry, right?

Let's go camping. I want to see both the sunrise and sunset.

Would you rather watch a ballgame that went on for 20 innings or watch a theater performance that went on for eight hours?

Theater performance

Ballgame
I have no time for either of those worthless things.

Wow 20 innings? That is a great game!

Would you rather vacation in a third world country or gain 10 pounds?

I'm sure I'd at least lose weight in a third world country.

That sounds so cool to vacation in a third world country.
They are both horrific.

No problem doing both.

Would you rather walk over hot coals and burn your feet or have a year of bad haircuts?

Hot coals it is.

Who cares about a bad haircut. I always put my hair up anyway.
No way and not ever.

It's a cool experience to walk over hot coals. But I could go for either of these choices.

Would you rather clean a Frat house for a month or kill a deer?

I feel sorry for the deer, but there's no way I'm cleaning up anyone's mess, especially a Frat house!

I don't want to kill an animal, so I guess the Frat house.
That deer is a goner. Show me how to shoot a gun.

I already know how to kill a deer, skin it, and make jerky from the meat!

Would you rather have $1 million or find your soul mate?

Money takes care of a lot of things.

I'd rather be rich in love. But I could donate to a lot of causes with the money.
Money, money, money, money!

Who needs money when you have love?

Would you rather drink McDonald's coffee or Starbucks' coffee?

Starbucks

McDonald's, unless someone is buying me Starbucks
Who does Starbucks anymore? I do Lavazza.

I don't even know how to order in Starbucks. McDonald's for me.

Would you rather play 120 hours of video games straight or play golden oldies for 120 hours straight?

Video games, of course

I love golden oldies.
If I have to listen to my parents' music for one more second, I'm going to puke. I get to choose the video game.

Can we dance to the golden oldies, too?

Would you rather have an embarrassing text shown to the world, or not be able to use Instagram, Facebook or Twitter ever?

I can't be disconnected from the world! Go on, show my text!

It would be super embarrassing to have my text shown but I would get over it, and I love knowing what my friends are up to on social media.
I don't care what people think of me. Send my embarrassing text, I dare you.

I believe life goes on without social media, and I wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong impression of me.

Would you rather have forgotton to wear makeup or forgotton to wear your comfortable shoes.

I'll wear uncomfortable shoes.

Going makeup free is good for your skin.
All my shoes are uncomfortable anyway, that's why I don't walk anywhere. Give me my makeup!

Give me my comfy shoes.

Would you rather not have a manicure for a year, or not be able to rent a movie for a year?

I need my manicure.

I need to be able to chill at home and watch a movie.
People should be taking me out anyway. Why would I need with a movie rental?

I couldn't care less about the manicure, but staying in and watching a movie is a date-night thing for me.

Would you rather order Starbucks using only two words, or not be able to check yourself out in a mirror all week?

How will I know if I have something in my teeth?

I can order Starbucks with two words, "coffee, black".
Give me my mirror, Starbucks always gets my order wrong anyway.

Not having either of them isn't an issue for me.

Would you rather not wear designer clothing for six months or wear unflattering flats for six months?

I probably get away with going mainstream on clothes because of my unique tastes, but cute shoes are a must!

I'd be fine without designer clothes, and I do love cute shoes, flats or not.
You can't take both of those away from me at the same time. I'm starting to cry thinking about it.

What's the dilemma? I always wear flats and I never wear designer clothes.

Would you rather inherit money or great intellectual abilities?

The money, and I'll hire someone to think.

If I have the brain power, I can make money anytime I need it.
I believe the saying is, "Money is the root of all happiness."

If you have a good head on your shoulders, you really don't need anything more.

Would you rather talk about fashion designers or classical music?

I like to talk about what affects me now, not what happened in the past.

Music, it's so good for the soul.
I need to know the latest designer trends.

I wouldn't know a fashion designer from a building designer. Give me music. I wouldn't mind learning something.

Would you rather eat homemade chocolate chip cookies or creme brulee?

Creme Brulee

Oh, yum, and if the cookies are warm from the oven, so much better

Depends on the brand of each

Beer, but it depends on the brand
Hard liquor, but it depends on the brand

Beer

Would you rather complain that it's too hot outside or too cold outside?

I'd rather be in a bikini than in a parka any day.

I like having a chill in the air.
I don't care. I don't go outside ... I just Uber to wherever I want to go.

I wouldn't complain about either. I'm not into complaining.

Would you rather watch, a day of CNN or a day of soap operas?

Soap operas

CNN
Soap operas with the sound off. I have enough drama in my life.

CNN but with the sound off. I hate hearing about all the violence.

Would you rather be given a VERY expensive necklace from your lover that's not your style, or a shopping spree for half the cost of the necklace?

Shopping spree

Necklace, although I might not wear it as often
Take the necklace, return it, and use the money for a shopping spree.

Necklace that I'll wear daily, even though it's not my style. It's what he wanted to see on me.

Would you rather have a vampire suck your blood or make out with the monster from the Black Lagoon?

Ugh, at least the vampire isn't covered in swamp stuff

Is the swamp monster cute?
Don't touch me. Ever.

Would I then turn into a vampire? That's kind of cool.

Would you rather watch a historical reenactment or a romantic comedy?

Romantic comedy

Historical reenactment
I get to choose the romantic comedy, right?

Let's watch the reenactment and I'll make dinner from that period of history. It will be so much fun!

Egg whites, please

Pancakes
Eggs whites, scrambled, side of turkey bacon and a sugar-free, nonfat, no foam cappuccino.

About This Quiz

A high-maintenance woman needs her things. A morning beauty ritual can take hours with scrubs, lotions, perfumes and accompanying items like loofahs, makeup wipes and white stripes. Whereas a low-maintenance woman needs a toothbrush and soap and she's ready to rock. So where do you fall in this spectrum? This fun, easy quiz will help you define where you stand and maybe even help you set expectations for current and future life partners. Do you want someone who appreciates your easy-going outlook on life? Or do you want someone to appreciate the extra time and care you take to look good ... and pamper you accordingly?

It's interesting how we develop our own sense of style that can be wildly at odds with how we grew up. With so much social media, ads and role models in the public eye, it's easy to fall into a certain look. But maybe you're one of the few who set the trends or feels comfortable with coming up with your own, carefree style. Go on, get a better sense of who you are and what you need out of life to make you happy with this "Would You Rather" quiz!
