| The Essential Guide to Courting a Male Geek
Posted: 4/25/2008 6:52:53 PM | I've always considered my self a geek. I'm sometimes rather shy with women, I love to read and enjoy learning (I guess that's why Im a Special Ed teacher). I have many sides to my personality, as I can be facinated with trains one minute and lifting weights to Iron Maiden the next. As far as dating, for me it goes back to the "nice guy" thing, some women are attracted to flashy guys as opposed to real ones. It's ok though. At 38, I realize I am who I am. The OP wrote that a geek isn't weak in spirit. This is very true. I realize this as I teach my students in addition to helping my aging father. If a geek is a man who isnt afraid to learn and be himself, well then so be it. | |

Golconda don't forget:
*comic book store
*Video Game rental places
*The internet
Everyone uses the internet now. Maybe like... forums and message boards. Especially ones associated with geekery. Like games and technology. I'm actually surprised a game place wasn't in the first list, that one seems pretty obvious, especially since I'm not in any of the places listed in the above.
If I'm at a store of any sort it's usually in a section related to technological devices or games. Both scream geek if someone takes them somewhat seriously and actually knows more than two things about them.
I know I'm probably easy to spot as a geeky nerd type in public because usually I'm fiddling around with my non Apple/Microsoft MP3 (technically MP4, so blah to you technicality nuts). Mainstream (aka lamestream) can kiss my ass, I roll with the underground. Or if I'm sitting around I'm in the process of whipping out a laptop and a sweet glowy mouse and getting ready to do some gaming. What kind of non-geek has a shiny gaming laptop and glowy mouse? | |

I love geeks myself, and tend to prefer them, but I will have to disagree with the OP about them tending to be better lovers.
Ahhhh, but did you try to teach him what you liked? | |

So how does a woman meet and hook up with a geek?
Just walk up to them and ask if they would like to go for coffee or something. The strange sounds and random squeaks would be acquiescence to your request | |

Posted: 4/26/2008 11:35:30 AM | | Oh my gosh this is funny.... I was 98lbs @ 5'11" in high school, and can relate to this, not I'm 6'2" 220lbs considered very masculine, a "man's man" so to speak, but my high school inner geek has NEVER left me. Not confident with women, and as I read this I was SO "oh my gawd I am so STILL a geek" LOL NOt that it is a bad thing, but so much of the first 5 points still fit me, while on the outside I appear VERY confident etc... Like no.5 I SO am into the woman I am with making sure that by the time we are done she is totally satisfied, unconcerned about if I even get to the "big O" or not.... Thanks for the reality check and the chuckle... Holding my hand up with the Vulcan gesture "may you live long and prosper" | |

Nothing sad in my eyes about remembering one of the greatest episodes of the original Star Trek series.
Yes, and definitely not a tough thing for any geek to remember. A true Trek fan can also rattle off the name of the DS9 episode featuring the tribbles, the name of the trader who was responsible for bringing on the first tribble, the Klingon spy they exposed... and the truly geeky even recall how many tribbles Mr. Spock so casually states are in the grain bin. Googling it doesn't count.  | |

Posted: 4/26/2008 9:50:31 PM | | Haha. Well written post, it made me laugh. I played the sports and tried the jock thing in highschool but I stayed a nerd. This post made me think of it in less of a bad way. | |

can you name the first tribble out of the bin though and state what it said ? no googling mind and no checking wikipedia for to see if the answer is there
i could name the deep space episode but i guess that people may even be now googling tribbles so won't spoil it for them  | |

Heh. Nice. Good luck in your conquest.
As a former geek, I decided to trade up awhile ago. Never missed it. Although I still do get the urge to play D&D periodically. | |

Posted: 4/27/2008 5:59:01 PM | Interesting guide, and so true. I am indeed a geek. Always played with computers back since the DOS days on my first 286. Now I'm a Network Admin for a living and enjoy my tech job for the most part.
I am also into classic cars and motorcycles. I do all the restoration work myself. I ride dirt bikes too. Typically when I get home from work I go out to the garage and work on one project or another. Typically the last thing I want to do after a long day at work is sit in front of a computer any longer. I prefer to spend my free time doing things in real life, be it productive or just fun. :)
I'm very outdoorsy, I love offroading and camping. It's the antithesis of my daily grind in the office. I think it's great when I pull up to work in my old lifted truck, covered in mud, and get out in a suit and tie. Everyone in the office is used to it, but when we have visitors they either laugh or shake their heads.
Comics and all that stuff never interested me much, so I guess you could say I'm different from the stereotypical geek in that regard. I will say that sci-fi is awesome, and when I had more time I used to watch sci-fi flicks all the time. Anymore I just read sci-fi books whenever I have time. Timothy Zahn is awesome. Bonus points for anyone who knows who he is. :)
I suppose I fit the geek mold when it comes to social situations. I'm usually a bit reserved and shy, but after contact is broken I open up pretty quick. So I'm more or less a geek, and I think those tips apply to me, from my experience as a geek. | |

Posted: 4/28/2008 6:34:09 AM | I would have a "Geek" for a boyfriend in a heartbeat, I am not attracted to men that love themselves (pretty boys), more than life itself, at all!
Any single geeks in my area? | |

Posted: 4/28/2008 6:46:13 AM | | Maybe someone should start a nice guy, nice girl, geeks, and descent person dating site, so we wouldn`t have to deal with breeding with the inferior of the species any more. | |

Posted: 4/28/2008 8:07:53 AM | | I am working on the code right now. Just so you know, short of writing a perl script to amend my existing code I am going to be spending the next couple of weeks working on it. However, I will not be making a "dating" site so much as a small scale social networking site. I honestly think POF is good enough for geeks, nice guys, nice girls, and decent people to meet and talk, so there is really no need for another dating site, besides this is the only dating site I have found where the members are active, the users are real, and the moderators are not trying to steer you towards a paysite. | |

This is a hail to the geek thread, this is not a bash people for having varying opinions thread. Raph has every right to choose who he is, we as geeks should embrace and welcome this, not chase it with rebuttal and ridicule.
Raph you remind me of a friend of mine who started out as a computer geek and is not a gun and alcohol geek.  | |

Posted: 4/28/2008 9:03:13 AM | Can't we just all jump on World of Warcraft and run Karazhan or something? I like watching Night Elves & Draenei dance
And actually, my first girlfriend I ever had {the one I lost my virginity too} never complained about anything I ever did too her. Except for that one time I bit her inner thigh. Didn't know they were that sensitive. Hehe, other than that she never said anything bad about it. So yeah, geeks think about sex....a LOT | |
