The 21st Century Guide to Dating: Subject? Maintenance

A friend of mine was out on a date last week. The date is a very candid physician and so they find themselves in strange but remarkably forward conversations.

Friend: Can I ask you a personal question?

Dr.Dude: Sure.

Friend: Do you do pap smears and everying?

Dr.Dude: Sure. Can I ask you a personal question?

Friend: Sure.

Dr.Dude: Do you maintain?


Me to Friend: What the eff does "maintain" mean?


I can just imagine the Match.Com ad:

GWM seeking GWM for casual dataing. I'm looking for an honest person who enjoys long walks and old movies, maintains, and loves Dostoevsky.

delurking here to say so what DOES maintain mean? I am going to infer from the previous conversation that is has something to do with shaving the -- ah -- pubic region. Am I right?

Maintains WHILE reading Dostoevsky?
