Why do men prefer low-maintanence women?

I asked my boyfriends, and he said:

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?

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.

How did you cope when someone you love, dealing with hyper-independence and trauma, felt they needed space to heal alone? Were you able to support them without overstepping, and did you eventually reconnect? How did that journey unfold?

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.

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.

As a man, I can say this:
