I LOVE this
Why the opposite sex should consider dating geeks:
- While geeks and nerds may be awkward, they’re well-meaning 9 out of
10 times. That smooth dude with the sly grin and the spider hands?
Wonder what HIS intentions are... plus, a geek guy will call you when he
says he will. Score major points THERE.
- They're useful. In this tech-savvy world, it’s great to have an SO
who can make your laptop, desktop, and just about anything else that
plugs into a wall behave itself.
- They’re more romantic than they're given credit for. Ok true, their
idea of romance might be to make up a spiffy web-page with all the
reasons why they love you, with links to pics of you and sonnets and
such... but hey. It lasts longer than flowers, plus you can show your
friends.
- Due to their neglected status, there are plenty to choose from. You
like ‘em tall and slender? There are plenty of geeks/nerds who are. You
like ‘em smaller with more meat on their bones? Got that too.
- They’ve got brains. Come on now, how can intelligence be a bad
thing?
- Most of them are quite good at remembering dates. Like birthdates
and such, especially if they know it’ll make you happy. Due again to
their neglected status, they’re more attentive than those who "have more
options". Plus, with all that down time without a steady
girlfriend/boyfriend, they’ll likely have mental lists of all the things
they’d love to do once they GOT a girlfriend/boyfriend.
- Sex. Yep. Sex. There are girls who have been intimate with geek guys
(and vice versa) and it’s raves all around. They say a virgin wrote the
Kama Sutra... all that time thinking about sex, imagining sex, dreaming
about sex, coupled with a desire to make you happy? Use your
imagination.
- They’re relatively low-maintenance. Most can be fueled on pizza,
chocolate bars, Twinkies and Mountain Dew. No complicated dinners needed
here, so if you’re not the best cook, eh. Can you order a
pizza?
- Most of them frequent bars as often as slugs frequent salt mines.
You won’t have to worry much about your geek partner getting their
"groove" on with club hotties because, frankly, they’ll be too busy
rooting around under their computer desks wondering where that spare
cable went. You won’t have to worry about them flirting with other
people because, 9 out of 10 times, they’ll zip right by them in a
perfect b-line towards the nearest electronics/gadet/computer store.
I’ve seen this happen.
Girl: "Eww. Victoria Secret’s Models... They’re so skinny. How is that
feminine? You can see her ribs!"
Geek Guy: "ooooooo..."
Girl: "Hey!" *notices he is staring lustfully towards the computer
store*
Geek Guy: "What?"
Girl: "Never mind..."
- Although they may not want to go to every outing with you, you can
arrange swaps, as in, you’ll go to the Gamer Con dressed as an elf
princess if they’ll take you to the ballet. Plus, if they don’t want to
go someplace with you, you won’t have to worry much about what they're
up to. You’ll probably come home to find them asleep on their keyboards
in a sea of Mountain Dew cans with code blinking from the screen. It’s
ok. They're used to this. Just toss a blanket over them and turn out the
light.
- Their friends aren’t jerks (for the most part). I can’t stress this
enough. You’ll more likely get "Omg! A GIRL!! Can I see?!" than "Hey hot
stuff back that ass up here and let me get some grub on..." They’re
awkward geeks too and will, 9 times out of 10, treat you with the utmost
respect and, more than likely, a note of awe. A cute girl picked one of
our clan to date? It could happen to them! Hope! Drag some of your
single girlfriends over, open up a pack of Mountain Dew, crack open the
D&D set and get working. Nothing impresses geek guys more than a
girl who can hack-n-slash (well, ok, maybe if she can code... a geek can
dream).
- They’re rarely if ever possessive. They trust you, so you can be
yourself around them. You like to walk around the house in a ratty
t-shirt for comfort? They won’t care. They do it too! They won’t get
pissy if you don’t wear make-up (or a tie and sport coat for guys) or
don’t want to bother primping your hair. If you gain a few pounds, they
won’t try their best to make you feel like crap.
- They’re usually very well educated. Physics majors and the like. See
#5. You won’t have to listen to them blathering on about their car (ok,
maybe a little if they're a car geek), they’ll have loads of other
interesting things to talk about. Politics, world events, how much the
chicken burgers down at the local place rock, so long as you douse them
in hot sauce...
- You’ll almost never have to hear, "Yaw dawg whazzap!!" plop out of
their mouths. Unless it’s in jest. They spell properly, use correct
punctuation, and are able to tell the difference between the toilet and
the floor. They almost never get "wasted", so you won’t have to worry
about coming home to find them passed out on the floor amidst a pile of
beer bottles. Mountain Dew cans, perhaps...
- And the final reason why geeks and nerds make great
boyfriends/girlfriends: They actually give a damn about you. Not how you
look (though that’s a plus), not how skinny you are, not how much
make-up you primp yourself up with, but they like you for you. That kind
of thing lasts longer than "DAMN baby you got a fine ass!!!" Believe
me.
