Correct me if I’m wrong, girls these days, are getting smarter and before you know it, they’ll outsmart any guy that comes in their way. A nightmare, definitely.

However, sometimes, it’s got to have a partner smarter than you. Isn’t that concept widely acceptable? Says you? Hear me out a moment. Just last year, when I was back at Victoria Institution for their Charity Day, I was stuck by a fact that, one of my teacher, actually stop pursuing her dreams of getting a masters in physic, because she was going to marry a guy that had only a simple degree. The reason she gave me,”I didn’t want my husband to feel dumber than me. He may look like he don’t mind, but deep down in him, I know..” It was one of the sweetest words I’ve ever heard coming out of a teacher’s mouth, and also kind of dumb. It was like, DE JA VU…

I thought things like these don’t happen anymore. I thought people are more open minded now.

So, I continued the little happy but weird kind of way talk, this time, with a few of my school mates. I was shock! They too totally agreed with my teacher.. Am I weird?

My first girl friend, Jue Nee, was one of the top student in her school. President of Maths and Science Club, a prefect and a well known figure. On the other hand, I was a president too, I was a prefect too, and, lets just say, I was just smart but lazy… *smiles*

And, seriously, I find it no trouble at all. I’m totally fine with it. SPM, she got all As, one of the few top students in Kuala Lumpur, and I’m still very fine with it. In fact, I’m very proud of her. All that courtship and activities, she still manages to maintain such spectacular results.

Lets not boil into my relationship too much alright.

Anyway, the bottom line is, is having a partner smarter than you wrong?

My sister’s says, she would like a guy to be as smart as she is, or smarter. But, is it alright to sacrifice your knowledge for the sack of someone you love like what happened to my physic teacher?

Is it a must for you to have someone smarter or dumber? Is it a must for you to have someone who earn more or less than you?

If you ask me, it totally doesn’t matter.

Thank You.
