Not A Wife Material

I was talking to a friend last night when I was reminded of an event which makes me come to the conclusion that I'm not a wife material. Let's see whether I can list down 10 things to support this assumption since some blogger likes to come up with top 10 list of anything-and-everything-in-the-wind.

1. The first time I meet a guy, I'd be very firm and business-like. No way am I going to flirt or be manja-manja or make any overtures that some feels necessary to land themselves a husband.

2. If you're doing an average job, living an average life, I probably got paid slightly higher than you do. That is a no-no to a man's ego isn't it?

3. Relatively taller than the average Malay girl, I can't look submissive when I am eye-to-eye or when I have to look down on a man can I? Like it or not, many Malay men are deficient when it comes to height hehehe...

4. If I disapprove on something, you'll definitely hear about it. Like the time someone proudly mention he owns a unit of low-cost flat because he knew 'someone', I went on a debate-mode because he is not eligible for a low-cost unit. His action is simply against my principle. Maybe many people do it but we don’t have to follow if we know it is wrong, right?

5. I can look intelligent when I talk about computers not that I know much about it but I'll still be a computer geek for those who are non IT savvy. Can a computer geek make a good wife when I have no idea what is the 'in' kain and tudung at Jalan TAR? If I ever look for tudung, I'll go for those that are Malaysian weather friendly and easy to wear. For kain, minimal or no ironing not required is a must, irregardless of trend and fashion. A non fashionable computer geek anyone?

6. I look stupid when some friends talk about things like a certain dinnerware, tableware brand where you can only get from UK that every good modern wife is supposed to know and I have no idea what they are talking about. There are many other discussions that I don't understand.

7. I'll be restless if someone drives like a turtle or not willing to bend the rules a bit. A friend refuses to go right at a double line when there are no other cars behind us. The road is almost deserted on weekend OK and when I pointed it out, he said we must follow the rule. Duh! If the relationship ever goes to the next level, I know I'll nag about it.

8. My point-of-view on men and fatherhood, non-existent relationship with a father is a turn-off on some. Is it wrong if I expect father to play a role in their children's life? Is it wrong if I expect men to be responsible to their children even if they are divorce? You did not divorce your children did you?

9. I will look in disbelief if any men (except my brother) want to borrow money from me. The rare occasion when male colleague forgot they don't have enough money in the wallet during lunch time is acceptable as long as they pay back immediately. But other than that, I really can't accept it. How I react to it depends on the situation. If the person beat around the bush giving some hints, I'll just ignore them. If they ask, I'll just say I don't have money or is not in a habit lending money to people. They'd probably rant a bit about me not wanting to share their difficulties and things like that but you know quite a few women lend money to their boyfriend and will never see the money and boyfriend again right?

10. My temper, or is it aggressiveness? If someone is doing something very slowly, I'd grunt and do the job myself. Lembab sangat penat nak tunggu :p

So there goes my list of 10 reason in no particular order. I'm sure we'll add more to the list if anyone manage to inverview men I've dated hehehe...
