Posted: 4/22/2008 2:46:38 PM | | So, I know it's only a laugh but judging by this... does it mean that anyone who isn't a boring geek is a dumbass player? Not true It's not as black & white as that.... | |

I suppose it's way too much to ask that a geek also be in shape, or that any partner remember stuff and be trustworthy? Why can't the nerd also like to watch pro sports? I can't be the only one out there....or?
Not all geeks are out of shape. I played Rugby in college and yes I watch sports. | |

Posted: 4/22/2008 7:11:22 PM | | OMG, I dated a few geeky guys and they fit every one of those characteristics. I'm hoping to meet another adorable geek some day. LOVE the geekiness. Was a really refreshing change from the alpha males I used to date. | |

Well they WOULD if they could write. It's the bad spelling that gets to me...
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
All my base are belong to you. Technically, this really should be what I got on a huge bouquet of Rosa damascena and a box of Theobromine once from my beloved geek boyfriend:
roses are #FF0000
violets are #0000FF
all my base
are belong to you
Notice that I didn’t say geeks were better endowed or lasted longer - but that geeks were better lovers. Compared to an average guy, a geek is going to be better prepared, knows exactly how to please a lady in bed and will actually pay attention to her needs instead of trying to catch the early train back home. A big part of the reason they are, is because they will actually educate themselves. You are just another thing that he can try and figure out.
I prefer the company of a geek. I seek them out. I grok them. I am looking for a man that loves heavy metal, and when I say that, I mean Fe, Co, Cu, Mn, Zn, Mo, or W. A man who knows if you are not part of the solution, well then you are part of the precipitate. I need a man who knows that 2 + 2 = 5, for extremely high values of 2. Can he recite π to 14 digits? Then hold me back.
There are some things that were overlooked on the list.
They can glark most things easily. This is because they actually pay attention to what you are saying.
He may not want to go to every outing with you but you can arrange a trade, you’ll go to his Trek convention dressed like Uhura, and he will be happy go to an opera with you. He will even be happy to wear what you tell him to. And even if he doesn’t want to go someplace with you... you know exactly where he is. You’ll come home to find him asleep on his keyboard in a pile of Mt. Dew cans with code blinking or WOW from his monitor. It’s all good.
His friends will not be jerks. They will treat you with the utmost respect. If you drag some girlfriends around to gatherings with you, they are appreciative. Your friends will never be mauled rudely with these men.
Other women will tend not to try and steal them.
He will actually give a damn about you for who you are, as opposed to what you look like. You don't need to spend hours at the mirror to hold his attention. All you need to do is be your smart, funny self. That stuff lasts a lot longer than "Man, you have a sexy butt!" | |

127.anything loops back to the localhost. So 127.0.0.0 is the exact same as 127.0.0.1 or 127.200.100.30, or whatever.
Well I guess I'm going to have to be stick in the mud here. I don't consider myself to be a geek and I really don't like geeky people that much. Not bragging at all but just to prove a point: I can say with certainty that I have forgotten more about computers and technology than most people will ever learn. I design and build microcontroller-based systems for a living and am intimately familiar with electronic circuitry and microprocessors at all levels.
But while this stuff is interesting to a certain extent, it just doesn't really capture my attention to the point where I could sit there and think about it or talk about it for a long time without becoming bored.
I appreciate the simple things that a typical geek would probably dislike or overlook. My idea of fun is being outside in the sun turning wrenches on a hot rod. I like being outdoors and enjoying nature. Although I build fuel injection systems for a living, you won't find one on any of my cars as I prefer carburetors. My home is a one room stone cabin that I built. No electric service (unlike I run the generator--a 1950s era Lister diesel gen-set), no television, very little technology of any kind. Candles, wood stove, etc. (The bookcase full of engineering/physics/math/etc references, literature, etc seems kinda out of place.) I have actually taken up washing my clothes by hand, the old-fashioned way, and found that I like it. I like to drink good beer; in fact, I brew my own. Not a big sports fan or someone who follows a team, but I can sit down and enjoy a good game or a good fight.
I like intelligent women and all, and I think it's cool if a woman knows about binary and such, but I don't think I could handle dating a really geeky girl. I'm just not into any of the typical geek stuff that much. | |

Posted: 4/23/2008 9:06:34 PM | I'm definitely more attracted to brainy guys. Bulging muscles to me imply dumb, glasses imply smart. "Wiry" to me is the ideal. Somewhat thin but physically active
I've met many wonderful geeky guys, primarily through work, and they are almost all married.
If you'd asked me a month or two ago about the reasons to date a geek, I would have wholeheartedly agreed. Do a lot of them apply to female geeks (me) too? However, on another dating site, I put as a title "Female geek seeking male geek". I noticed that I was getting contacted less, and the guys who were reading my profile weren't as interesting. At least compared to when I had "Warped sense of humor seeks same" or something about liking dancing.
Two guys I've gone out with lately probably count as geeks.
One is so geeky that most of our conversations have been about science fiction books, RPG's, math puzzles, or the occasional weird topic you don't tend to bring up with strangers/first dates (cockroaches). Granted I've been asking about, and interested in those things, but they get old as conversational topics. The rest of the conversation has been about how he likes his family, sister's kids are adorable, cousins getting married, his family members are all intelligent too, and some members of his family are very wealthy. That latter bit implying marriage mindedness and financial prospects may be what interests a lot of women. But I guess I'm interested in a brain that has a variety of interests. And I was the one who brought up the joke about there are only 10 types of people in the world.
The other guy is hard to pin down. Whether he is a geek, or a player who uses geekdom as a cover, or a guy who is too sweet to be true, or is just codependent and strange. That's on hold for a while, probably permanently, so I'm out fishing again.
Intelligence is great, but it doesn't have to come in the form of interest in computers. | |

Actually it depends on the OS and the browser. | |

As a self confessed geek it's encouraging to see so many women lovin' on the geeks. But where are you all in real life?!
They're all hiding. What a lot of geeks' problem is that we lack great social skills (not all of the geeks, but a lot) and are intimidated when it comes to human relations. It makes it harder for us to actually approach a woman that would like geeks. The few ones I met that liked geeks were the ones who made the 1st move.
*snips*I've been single for three years. Someone loving me, wanting me, means a hell of a lot to me. And if by some miracle I'm ever with someone again I'll make damn sure she knows how much I appreciate her.
I know how you feel. Was single for 4 years cause of my geekiness, with a girl 8 months recently who liked me for me. Wasn't meant to be but ah well.
Not every geeks are as tech savvy as the OP claimed though. While some can code, some others are Star trek/wars geeks. Others are comics geeks. There's so many "fields" of geekiness that it's not always true. Same goes for the memory bit. Sure, we're (usually) great listeners, but sometimes, we just have bad memory (I can't remember names to save my life). | |

Posted: 4/25/2008 12:00:41 AM | pr0x: OS, perhaps, if the IP implementation in question is not completely RFC-compliant. But browser? What does the web browser have to do with anything? The browser simply passes the connection request along to the TCP/IP stack which handles the transaction.
Not bustin your balls, or trying to be pedantic, just pointing this out. | |

Posted: 5/21/2008 7:24:10 AM | That is very true, however some geeks get frustrated easily, have inner problems and go for the wrong women. Some, not all. Oh and they are generally less attractive.
I'm a geek. | |

Posted: 6/15/2008 4:29:06 PM | Yeah for the geeks!! I've decided to embrace my geek and not care what other people think. If that means that some girls don't like me, then so be it. I hope to find the right girl that does  | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 1:29:59 AM | My issue is finding a woman who I share common interests in. I'm not as geeky as some, but I can hold my own. But finding a woman who has an interest in technology and would also be involved in online gaming is hard. Or maybe I just live in the wrong place where these women don't exist. More likely I just don't know what rocks to look under. Need to find Club Geek for my area.
But a lot of those hold true. | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 7:19:12 PM | you don't have to sell me on dating a geek, I prefer them as they definitely make better boyfriends. as long as they have some level of social skills.
and a little confidence too. whenever I try to flirt with a geek they usually clam up as if they feel my interest in them isn't genuine. how do I get around this? | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 12:05:41 AM | Here just might be a kicker.... Geeks just might have to wait longer as younger girls don't give "Geeks" a very fare chance. Not untill they are sick of being pushed around by the fun, exciting, jerk off is when they go for the geeks. I think that's around 40 years old or so.. ;)
GEEKS RULE
Ty
Since when are Geeks not clammering.. no "not desperate" for sex?? LOL | |
