with regards to attitude and demeanor. that's not HIGH anything. we've all got that, it's power that we're born with by virtue of being (wonderful, fabulous and amazing) women.
perhaps you find your friend more self-possessed than yourself?
and count me as another who's never known a 'low femme'.

Hmmm ... no. Can't say that would be the case.
My friend used high maintenance to describe herself. This was about the very first time I have ever heard that being used. (Which is why when I hear that, I automatically think of her).
Will come back to this when I have more time (and am more awake).
