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!

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!

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?

Invisibility could be very cool.

They are both horrific.

No problem doing both.

Hot coals it is.

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

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!

Can we dance to the golden oldies, too?

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.

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.

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

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