WILL YOU MARRY DOWN..?

As girls get more educated, the prospects of marrying up becomes slimmer and slimmer. 

At the moment , in many universities around the world , the female undergraduates enrollments are around 60% or more . Among the 40% males , many may want to marry a girl who is less educated than them or marry down.

As the females moved higher in the education ladder, the choices of available males become scarcer or rare. They have been brought up to marry upwards or atleast on their same levels.

Marrying below them is not an option but what other choices do they have ? They can either wait until the right man comes along or they will become wall flowers gathering dust on the shelf. Their biological clocks ticking and they may go pass their shelf expiry dates.

Females want to excel and proved that they are or can be as good as the males. Strangely, the males do not have the same drive in education as the females. It is hard to explain why the males are not inclined to go to the university or for further studies.

This is probably because the males have been treated with more privileges in their families than the females .As a result, they are not ‘achievement ‘ oriented . They lacked the drive to excel in studies.

Since the percentage of marrying upwards is slim,they have to either marry down or stay single all their life.

I think most of the girls here have been conditioned in their earlier years to looked for a man who will take care of her . I find the Malays don't have these conditions,it is their culture.

They will marry anyone as long as the man can take care of them. They have been taught not to look down on any man and their religion also play apart in them marrying down without any bias and prejudices.

Among the Christians too, there are more Christian women marrying down and together they share the expenses with a joined account.They can get along well because both love God.

There is nothing wrong with marrying down or a man who has less academic excellence or qualifications. Friends can be a thorny issue if not handled properly.

What good is a paper qualifications if he only knows how to work like a slave and face a glass ceiling.

A paper qualification does not make a man smarter but only in that specialized field.He has to learn that education and being educated about life are two different things.

Everyman has to learn from the university of life. It is a continous learning process till the very day we die.

In the real world, a man who commands respect and millions may not have a degree or diploma.

Being successful in life and having a degree are two diferent things..
A degree does not guarantee you a good life. It may give you an added advantage when you apply for jobs with those MNC.Many people don't need degrees to make their millions.
The sky is the limit..
