High-maintenance woman, what an interesting phrase, I learned it form Linda Howard’s To Die For. After reading this story, I can’t help but thinking about this question: what makes a high-maintenance woman so attractive in man’s eyes?
Any man with a bit of common sense would prefer a low maintenance woman than a high maintenance one. However, when it comes to relationship, few men will have many senses left. A high maintenance woman might be hard to please, and she might be always very demanding. But like a sports car, such woman is usually quite of funs and most importantly she is a big showing off—that alone is enough to make men flying into fire like a moth being attracted to the light.
My cousin Lin certainly is a low maintenance woman. She earns double incomes (two jobs at the same time), takes care of her 4-year-old daughter all her own, and does all the family chores. In short, she has devoted her body and soul to her family and basically she left no time and space for her own need. However such self-sacrifice does not earn her attentions, love or gratitude from her husband. On the contrary, her husband found another woman to spend his money and make him troubles, and claimed that woman as his true love. How irony it could be? And believe me, it is not a unique story
Ann Haynes, 53, was making a delivery to electrical wholesalers Rexel Senate at Moresby Parks Industrial Estate in Whitehaven when three men – Paul McNish, Callum
Tyson and Mohammed Niaz – made off with her keys, her van and its cargo.
They left her bound inside a container for eight hours in July last year.
Ms Haynes, from Lancashire, was found shocked but unhurt the following morning.
At Carlisle Crown Court, McNish, 48, of Lonsdale Road, Blackpool, pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit a robbery between July 1 and July 17 and false imprisonment on
July 16, 2008 – together with Tyson.
Tyson, 19, of Oxford Street, Cleethorpes, and Niaz, 23, of Charles Street, Blackpool, admitted same charges in earlier court appearances.
Another man, Paul Matthews, 43, of Ribble Road, Blackpool, also admitted conspiring to rob between July 1 and 17.
McNish, Matthews and Niaz were all remanded in custody for pre-sentence reports to be prepared. They will be sentenced on Friday, September 18.
Tyson is on bail but is due to appear at Carlisle Crown Court on Friday.
Judge Paul Batty QC told the men: “These are very grave offences. A lengthy custodial sentence is a possible outcome.”
