One in five women believes their partner is 'high-maintenance', a study has revealed.
Researchers found the rise of the 'metrosexual' man is leading to a wave of high-maintenance men in modern couples.
Despite women stereotypically being the most attention-seeking in a relationship, women now say men are more likely than ever to sulk when things don't go their way.
Ladies say men are the ones demanding instant replies to text messages and spending longer in the bathroom than they do.
Spending a long time on their looks, wanting to be told 'I love you' several times a day and not leaving the house without their hair immaculately styled, were also among the list of high-maintenance traits in the modern men.
The study of 2,000 Brits found that half of all women have had a boyfriend or husband who was 'high-maintenance' with 19 per cent saying their current partner is difficult to manage.
