It's crazy not to date a girl because her ATAR is too high. Statistically speaking, girls overall get higher marks than boys so it will be important to overcome that intellectual inferiority complex. Aside from the fact that it's just plain demeaning to women to expect them to be 'dumber' than their partners.

Agreed that it's just best that couples have different academic interests so they aren't in competition with each other. I also notice celebrities who marry other celebrities tend to get divorced more often than celebrities who marry normal people, so different occupations might be the way to go as well.

I think there's nothing wrong with one partner being more successful than the other, regardless of gender. It's only a problem if one tries to use this as some sort of leverage.

Yeah I think I'd rather be with a guy in a different occupation to me - but maybe that's just because I'm too competitive for my own good... On the whole though, I don't think it really matters if one person has better achievements/whatever because it's bound to happen - I think couples just have to get over their own insecurities and be happy for each other.

I don't really care if they get close to my score/beat me, but I'd much rather someone who can hold a decent conversation than someone who just whinges and talks about nothing interesting...

I have a feeling I will be bagged for contributing here, but oh well, I can't help myself.

Honestly, I don't really mind whether a girlfriend has a higher or lower ATAR than me, I've never really ever talked to any of my ex's about academics and school work :S

Who really cares about whether you got higher/lower than your partner. You like them for them, not a stupid number that determines entry into university, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!
