A machine that is "high maintenance" is one that needs to be maintained (checked and repaired) often, so that it doesn't break down. A person who is "high maintenance" is metaphorically like such a machine; they require a lot of emotional work in order to maintain a good relationship with them. They may get upset easily, or make a lot of demands, particularly from their romantic partners.

@banks22 It can be either or both of those. One kind of demand a high-maintenance person might make is demanding that their partner buy them things.

High maintenance = This is usually a complaint about someone, and it normally refers to women (but it can refer to men as well). If someone is high maintenance, then they probably take a lot of time to get ready (put on makeup, choose their clothes) for hours. They probably are always demanding things, like asking their boyfriends to buy them stuff or wanting their boyfriends to give them flowers. They probably spend money a bit more frequently.
