Are people getting more high maintenance or is it just me? One thing that you can't deny is that CERTAIN people require a lot more TLC and attention, on the daily and especially during trying times. This applies to both platonic relationships and romantic. We usually call these people high maintenance because, well, they usually require (or demand!) all of your efforts and then some to be satisfied. These characteristics are closely linked to their zodiac sign temperament, so read on to see who is on the list!

Suffering on the bike, in the water, or running mile after mile helps me manage stress and yields big goals to kedge towards. Just like any community, endurance has its celebrities. One of them has lived with a Navy SEAL, among the monks, and is married to Spanx founder Sara Blakely. He’s founded a charter jet service, a coconut water company, and is co-owner of the Atlanta Hawks. He’s completed some of the toughest endurance events on the planet and surrounds himself with people who don’t understand words like “can’t,” “quit,” or “no.” His resumé keeps going. I’m talking about none other than Jesse Itzler.
