Well, that all depends. A 'Princess' is usually a father's affectionate term for his daughter. Lots of girls love to be called a Princess for no other reason other than the pleasure of it. However, for a girl to be called a 'Princess' by your friends more than likely means she is very high maintenence and 'high class'. Your friends may be worried that she is going to drain you of everything and leave you when she thinks you can't provide for her anymore. A 'Princess' has alot of other nicknames. They are often referred to as 'Daddy's Little Girl', SLB which means Spoiled Little Brat(or B*tch, if you prefer), BBR which means Beautiful Bank Robber, a "Bonnie"(The Bonnie from the famous bank robbing duo Bonnie and Clyde), and others. The most common nicknames of the past were Gold Diggers and Leeches. Basically, these types of girls like to be wined and dined at the most expensive restaurants, wear jewelry that costs thousands of dollars like its nothing to them, drive around in 'hotcars' that cost thousands upon thousands of dollars...basically the most spoiled type of person you can find. Chances are, if you even get so far as to meet the parents, they probably won't approve of you...especially the father...unless you're making a six figure salary. If you're not making heaps of money, she'll drop you the moment you say 'I don't think I can afford that right now.' In most cases you will be a 'trophy boyfriend', in that she only wants you there to say she has a boyfriend, and as long as you keep buying her things, you'll stay in her trophy case. The reason she is like this is probably because she was very spoiled by her parents, and came to know a lifestyle of being catered and fed to her every need. This is up to you to decide. How well do you know her? Does any of what I described above sound like it applies to her? Unless you really like her and you think you have the funds to support a girlfriend like this, then you should probably heed yolur friends' advice and get out while you can. Most importantly, you should be sure she likes YOU, not your wallet. If its the money and the job she's after, drop her as fast you can...better you save yourself the trouble and get out now instead of going broke and having her dump you on top of it all. Keep in mind this answer isn't meant to offend anyone...there's a very big difference between a Princess in name and a Princess in behavior.

Just to add to what has already been said. . .this is based on what I assume your friends define a Princess as and it isn't a compliment. Let's focus on Princess-like behavior aside from the love of expensive things. Temper tantrums are likely to result from what are seen as offenses. . .i.e., saying "no" when she wants something. Duck and cover! How does she treat other people besides you? Is she nice to everyone or just her select clique? It's not very attractive to look down on others less fortunate, popular, or for any reason at all. Do the checklist in your head, how many of these words apply to her?: demanding, snobbish, expensive, pouty, bossy, you get the picture. If at least 3 apply, you have a Princess on your hands. And the most important thing of all has already been said. . .make certain she likes you for who you are. Don't feed into what she WANTS you to be, just be yourself. If you fall into that trap then if you end up broke and dumped. . .you will be partly to blame. I know that sounds mean spirited, but it's not meant to be. If any of this sounds like your girlfriend and it does not sound like something you want, then you might take the advice of your friends.

This could depend on the ethnic and religious makeup of your group of friends. There exists a term "Jewish American Princess" or "JAP," which is a negative term used to describe any Jewish girl who is somewhat spoiled, thinks highly of herself, and expects others to cater to her whims. While "JAP" is the common abbreviation, I have heard Jews use the word "Princess" when speaking to other Jews who are assumed to know what they are talking about. It is also possible that non-Jews who are familiar with the term may have started using "Princess" to describe a spoiled, demanding girl of any religion. That, I couldn't tell you. It's just a theory. Those are the qualities that come to mind when I hear the word "Princess" the way you have described it. Please note that I do NOT intend this as a racist remark. There are many, many lovely Jewish women out there who do not have any of these characteristics (and I have had the pleasure of knowing several of them), and there are many non-Jewish women out there who do. I am not in the habit of using this word myself, but am rather reporting it as a possible answer to the question. The fact remains that this term exists, and the way I have heard it used among my Jewish friends made me wonder if it could be relevant to your question. If not, then just disregard the answer and I apologize in advance if anyone is offended.

From my experience dating a "Princess" is not easy. It takes a person who completely willing to do anything for the other person. I mean anything. My understanding of "Princess" is a woman who demands that she be number one at all (I mean all times). This goes beyond $$. If you are the type of person who can deal with it (must have loyalty like a dog) then continue. BUT don't make the mistake that I made. I thought she would change and has not. My terrible day at work is not greeted with how can I help but rather I need you do these things. I need you to make more money and work less because I need you to help me more during the day. Three hours after knee surgery I was asked to fetch her a glass of water because she did not want to get up.

first of all, I don't think you should listen to your friends u know.... relationship is about two of you, not the others... if u do feel like she is acting too stuck up or too pretenious. i can understand that. but not about what your friends think. u know. the most stupid thing is to listen to your friend 's opinions but not your own.
