Couple Rankings

Boston.

The scene of the book signing event.

"Holy shit!"

When Adam saw Amy's classic scene, and the object of her affection was him, he almost spat out a string of curses.

But thinking about it, it's quite normal.

What does Penny's ex-boyfriend Zack have to do with?

He could be described as tall, but he was only marginally handsome.

Even so, he could still make Amy involuntarily let out a 'hoo~~', let alone Adam's offer.

But it was precisely because Adam knew this that he was so troubled.

He would rather things be completely ordinary than see this happen.

Amy is Sheldon's soulmate.

In Adam's personal ranking of the best couples, she ranks third, just below Marshall and Lily (first) and Howard and Bernadette second).

It ranks even higher than the Chandler and Monica couple.

Without Amy's tolerance, resistance, and guidance, Sheldon wouldn't have become more like a normal person Sheldon, let alone in eight years, or even in eighty years.

In her previous life, Penny and Sheldon were also a popular couple.

One of Adam's friends dropped the show because Penny got together with Leonard instead of Sheldon.

According to him, it's simply outrageous that the only pretty female lead in the Big Bang Theory doesn't date the protagonist, Sheldon.

Leonard, the true protagonist, silently shed tears: Penny is the female lead, but he is definitely the male lead. The two are a perfect match. Just because Sheldon's acting is so good and his charm is so great, we can't not treat him as the male lead. We have to give the female lead to the first male supporting actor, Sheldon.

Penny has some of Sheldon's Mom's charm; she's very tolerant of Sheldon, and the title "Penny's Mom" is quite fitting.

When Sheldon finally described his love for Amy, he said, "Amy can do anything his mother can do for him, and Amy can also do things his mother can't do for him..."

Thinking about it this way, the adoration for Peggy and Sheldon as a couple isn't entirely unfounded.

Furthermore, Sheldon and Penny did indeed have some ambiguous interactions.

For example, when Penny slipped in the bathroom, Sheldon was dressing Penny with his eyes closed, and when he touched her arm, he touched the wrong thing.

When Penny asked him somewhat awkwardly, "Is this an arm?"

Sheldon even examined it carefully and said it didn't feel like an arm...

Before getting dressed, he had to help Penny out of the bathtub. Penny told Sheldon not to look, and Sheldon's attitude was quite intriguing.

He readily agreed, but afterwards he found out that Penny had a tattoo on her butt.

Unlike Leonard, Howard, and Rajesh, who were filled with lustful curiosity, Sheldon may have glanced at her more out of curiosity, but this already shows that Penny has a special place in Sheldon's heart.

After all, Amy, with her strong desires, often blatantly demanded intimate contact with Sheldon, posing as his girlfriend, which Sheldon always refused.

For example, Penny once conducted a love experiment with Sheldon, gazing into each other's eyes for a long time, and Penny did indeed feel a flutter in her heart.

Amy and the others had speculated that if Leonard wasn't there, Penny would be the one seducing Sheldon in the laundry room.

In this life, with Paige as a variable, Sheldon's love life becomes unpredictable.

But Adam felt there was a 95% chance that Amy and Sheldon would end up together in the future.

Compared to Penny, Amy's IQ is closer to Sheldon's.

Aside from the Nobel Prize in Physics that they would later share, Amy also provided academic assistance to Sheldon's rival, Barry Kripke, Theoretical Physicist at California Institute of Technology, which at one point made Sheldon very jealous.

It's important to know that Barry Kripke had always bullied Sheldon, and their research even overlapped, yet Sheldon couldn't academically look down on Barry.

Even later, when the school cut funding and the two had to collaborate, Sheldon found that his research results were far inferior to Barry's.

In the end, he could only use the excuse Barry gave him to get by: With Amy as your girlfriend, your energy must be diverted, so of course you won't have any research results. If it were Barry himself, he would also be working like crazy, so how could he have the energy to do research?

Whenever Sheldon worked with Barry, he could only distract Barry by telling dirty jokes that he didn't tell Amy...

From this perspective, Barry is highly intelligent and professionally skilled, while Amy is able to provide Barry with tremendous help despite being from a different field, which demonstrates Amy's strength.

In terms of intelligence, only Paige is better than her.

In Sheldon's eyes, Penny was nothing more than a blonde female monkey.

Then, regarding tolerance.

Paige was eliminated immediately. She was too proud, and like Sheldon, she liked the feeling of being better than everyone else. It was impossible for her to give in to Sheldon.

If she doesn't give in, Sheldon will definitely flip the table and might even put her at the top of his blacklist.

In this respect, Penny and Amy are similar, both very accommodating to Sheldon, but Amy is better because she is more goal-oriented.

In positive reinforcement experiments, Sheldon pointed out that positive feedback is more effective than any reward feedback.

Therefore, it is reasonable that Amy is more tolerant of Sheldon's quirks, because she is extremely attracted to Sheldon's body.

Finally, there's the matter of training.

Paige has no data available for analysis, so it can be ruled out for now.

Amy and Penny both subtly or overtly, intentionally or unintentionally, influenced Sheldon.

Penny was passive and unintentional.

Amy, on the other hand, was proactive and intentional.

This is determined by her personality and profession.

She is a neuroscientist who often uses the study of monkeys and chimpanzees to study the neurobehavioral patterns of humans, teaching monkeys to smoke and having chimpanzees throw feces at each other...

Sheldon calls Penny a blonde female monkey, but in reality, Sheldon is also being trained by Amy as a monkey.

When Amy and Sheldon had been dating for a year, she told Bernadette and the others that she had a clear timeline for the relationship.

She will marry Sheldon in four years, but she tells Bernadette and the others not to tell Sheldon, because Sheldon is still a sure thing who could fly away at any time.

Four years later, while Amy was away on an exchange program, Sheldon's admirers started pursuing him again. Upon hearing the news, Amy was furious and said, "I've been slapping that ketchup ass for five years, and now that woman just needs to pour it out and enjoy it..."

Then Sheldon proposed to her.

Sheldon was once prepared to break up with Amy because Leonard and Penny said that Amy had changed him too much. However, Amy used a strategic retreat to easily win Sheldon over.

Amy's methods of discipline are self-evident.

This example applies not only to Sheldon, but also to Amy and Penny.

Penny originally disliked Amy, let alone considered her her best friend, but Amy quietly used various means to become Penny's BFF.

This includes, but is not limited to, filling Penny's apartment with her scent, adopting an almost obsequious attitude towards Penny, and frequently praising Penny.

This kind of training is done silently, and often takes years to complete, demonstrating terrifying patience.

This is also what Adam is most worried about...
