I believe the term you are looking for is tongue in cheek. I am willing to stick by my definition here. Also, I would like to point out that I am not encouraging subs to be high-maintenance, I am simply pointing out the fact that they are.
Since you seem to prefer the type of sub who does not get emotionally involved, or who allows a Dom to treat her any way he likes, you are free to find that type. As I said before, I prefer a bit of a challenge.
