| | Seven reasons to date a GeekPage 1 of 5 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) | This came from another site...but I thought it was funny...gives a nerd like me some hope! 
Geekiness is the new cool. Just look at super-nerd Bill Gates and his ilk or the recent Vote for Pedro T-shirt craze and you'll see that the geeks truly have inherited the earth.
And our new need for all things nerdy has infiltrated our sense of romance, too. Herewith, seven reasons to give that geek in the next cubicle a second look and to get dreamy with a dork.
Perks by Proxy
The original definition of a geek is "a carnival performer whose act consists of outrageous feats such as biting the heads off live animals," but modern geekiness relates more to a certain obsession for all things computer- and technology-related, as well as a general sense of nerdiness. And so, dating a geek keeps you (and your approving pals and family) in the know and stockpiled with the world's newest and most fabulous technological gadgetry. You'll never have to make nice to your Internet provider's idiot customer service rep again. Here, here.
Dressed for Code
Many hardware hackers hang about in ill-fitting, mismatched bought-by-their-mama duds. To them, "style" has more to do with matching their iPod case to their pocket protector than handing over handfuls of cash for a few fancy labels. So when a geek actually gets dressed up for a special occasion (a second date with you might be such an outing), it's hard not to notice, and the old fall-for-a-hottie-in-a-suit thing comes into play.
Cyber Salaciousness
Geeks are inherently curious about the world around them. And inquisitiveness is a sexy quality to have in the sack, asking questions about your pleasure points and about what makes your hard drive hum. A know-it-all is the last kind of person you want to romp with ("This should feel good to you...have an orgasm now!). And bondage using ethernet cables for ropes works just as well as cuffs.
The Choice Is Yours
"All the good ones are either married or gay" just doesn't apply to geeks. There is a sea of eligible codemonkeys to choose from. Mostly quiet, observant and unnoticed until now, geeks have been lying in wait and come in all shapes and sizes to suit your preference. So don't be shy, pluck a processing personality from the geek pool and embrace your inner dork.
When it Comes to Brains, Size Does Matter
Usually well educated, a geek will engage you with enlightened conversation and fascinating tête-à-têtes. Not only that, but nerds generally take spelling and grammar seriously, which makes all the difference between love and loathe when it comes to IMs, emails and text messages.
Cost of Love
Geeks make low-maintenance boyfriends and girlfriends. You rarely have to dole out the dollars for hoity toity dinners on the town. Rather, many geeks are happy to order food in and play on-line poker together. And come birthdays and Valentine's Day, you won't have to worry about buying garishly expensive gifts: they already have all the techie gear they could ever want.
Theory of Relativity
Some egoists might argue that dating a geek is a safe bet because the nerd needs you more than you need the nerd, which translates into sure-fire fidelity, doting adoration and a brainy knack for remembering all the important dates. And walking side-by-side with your brainy companion can make even your worst hair moments seem trivial and your clumsiest slipups graceful.

I guess that makes me the apex of the nerd moutain. And here I thought I wasn't nerdy? | |

Posted: 10/25/2006 10:00:32 AM | | i married a geek when i was young. he drove me crazy . video games his weird geeky friends . his lack of normal fashion sence. his whole life revolved around computer worlds or video games action figure collections and strange music. at first it was intreging. but over time it was like living with a child. we still talk but we are not married any more. he went on to marry a fellow geekess and they will play games happily ever after in cyber space . i my self will never do that again. i am now looking to be with a man that has a foot in reality and whos friends dont smell like cheese and dust and likes to have a conversation that dosent consist of the latest comic book relese or sci fi movie. go forth young geeks and prosper *with your own kind* | |

So can a "professional muse & relationship savant" also be a geek? So many hats...
Dano - the description is almost eerie... | |

Posted: 10/25/2006 10:22:12 AM | It's very hard having one foot in the geek world and also having one foot in the real world.
I prefer to call myself a closet geek. I can strip apart a computer, rebuild it, and install everything pirated and free that you could want. But I certainly wouldn't tell the guys I play football or hockey with that I do historical re-enactment and know how to sew my own historically correct garb from 1520 Germany...
Now where does Fencing and Airsoft fit into the geek world? Surely both are athletic, yet both are out of the norm and airsoft is basically playing tag while wearing army kit! lol
So I continue to be the closet geek... the sneakiest form of geekdom that exists. We're everywhere, and you girls won't know it until we strike!
Except for me I guess because I just told you about it... ignore everything I just said! *zaps everyone with mind wipe ray from MIB* heheheh. | |

Posted: 10/25/2006 10:57:07 AM | [Note: this song is a parody of Chamillionaire's "Ridin'"]
[Chorus]
They see me mowin', my front lawn
I know they're all thinking I'm so white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Can't you see I'm white and nerdy?
Look at me, I'm white and nerdy
I wanna roll with, the gangstas
But so far they all think I'm too white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
I'm just too white and nerdy
Really really white and nerdy
First in my class here at MIT
Got skills, I'm a champion at D&D
MC Escher - that's my favorite MC
Keep your 40, I'll just have an Earl Grey tea
My rims never spin, to the contrary
You'll find that they're quite stationary
All of my action figures are cherry
Steven Hawking's in my library
My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
Got people beggin for my Top 8 spaces
Yo, I know pi to a thousand places
Ain't got no grills but I still wear braces
I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise
I'm a whiz at Minesweeper - I could play for days
Once you see my sweet moves, you're gonna stay amazed
My fingers movin so fast I'll set the place ablaze
There's no killer app I haven't run
At Pascal, well I'm number one
Do vector calculus just for fun
I ain't got a gat but I got a soldering gun
"Happy Days" is my favorite theme song
I could sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
I'll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
I'm fluent in JavaScript as well as Klingon
[Chorus]
They see me roll on, my Segway
I know in my heart they think I'm white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Can't you see I'm white and nerdy?
Look at me, I'm white and nerdy
I'd like to roll with, the gangstas
Although it's apparent I'm too white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
I'm just too white and nerdy
How'd I get so white and nerdy?
I've been browsin, inspectin X-Men comics, you know I collect 'em
The pens in my pocket, I must protect 'em
My ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
Shopping online for deals on some writable media
I edit Wikipedia
I memorized Holy Grail really well
I can recite it right now and have you ROTFLOL
I got a business doing websites
When my friends need some code, who do they call?
I do HTML for 'em all, even made a homepage for my dog, yo
I got myself a fanny pack
They were havin a sale down at The Gap
Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap
Pop, pop, hope no one sees me, gettin freaky
I'm nerdy in the extreme and whiter than sour cream
I was in AV Club and Glee Club and even the Chess Team
Only question I, ever thought was hard
Was do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?
Spend every weekend at the Renaissance Fair
Got my name on my underwear
[Chorus]
They see me strollin', they laughin'
And rollin' their eyes 'cause I'm so white and nerdy
Just because I'm white and nerdy
Just because I'm white and nerdy
All because I'm white and nerdy
Holy cow, I'm white and nerdy!
I wanna bowl with, the gangstas
But, oh well, it's obvious I'm white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
I'm just too white and nerdy
Look at me, I'm white and nerdy! | |
