		<description>-- Quoted from Morgan
-- I know I would listen to a real life 
-- breathing female over a computer 
-- any day of the week.

That's probably because you haven't had many real relationships.  

Sometimes figuring out what new Mocking Framework you will use for unit testing is just so damn appealing - even if it means shutting out everyone _including_ your lady.</description>

		<description>I love this article.  It's so true.

One of the things that people have to remember is as a geek, sometimes we don't get the chance to make a whole of IRL friends (that means real-life friends), but we do end up making some good friends online.  It's our way of being social because we are scared to death of bars and whatever else it is that people do on a Saturday night.  So if the choice is between partner or computer, computer wins because that's like making us chose between friend or partner...

On the topic of WoW, If your boyfriend/girlfriend is playing too much WoW and not paying attention to you, posting here is not gonna solve the problem.  The key to ANY relationship, geek or no geek is communication.  Telling them the WoW is bugging me and not just assuming they know is a good step to take.  I know I would listen to a real life breathing female over a computer any day of the week.

Can you believe this?  good advice and no real relationships at 22 LOL.  Oh well...spose my day will come :smile:</description>

		<description>I am now dating a geek and am having the best time of my life!  While I realize that some of you are taking this WAY to seriously, there are some valid points being made.  My best guy friend always told me "Marry a geek, they'll rule the world one day."  While I don't think mine is quite up for that I am being treated better than I ever had by my usual "rocker" b/fs or the few jocks I dated.  While I am sure there are good men in every stereotype, I just found happiness with a geek.  If you are good man you shouldn't be intimidated by a funny blog.  By the way, not all women are intimidated by having conversations about how things work or interested solely in themselves and what cosmetics or clothes they are wearing.  Maybe you should look at your own assumptions.</description>

		<description>It's true, and nerdy guys are great in bed, because no only have they been watching porn and getting ideas since they were 12, but they also actually care about you.</description>

		<description>Just some thoughts...

First off, you've described a nerd, not a geek. Geeks have social ability, so they will in fact be at the bar. I, a geek by trade, landed myself a hottie at the local dance club raving about while Paul van Dyk reigned down upon the crowd... we're set to get married in October.

Second, I consume about 1 can of Mt. Dew a month, if that.

Third, VS models are damn fine specimens of the female human and certainly warrant more attention that a 2-meter J-loop antenna.

I suppose I could go on but the pattern I'm seeing (must be that intelligence thing kicking in) is that you should really be using the word "nerd", not "geek".

It's also somewhat apparent that you're not actually dating a "geek", or at least he's not seen this blog entry yet, because if he had he would most assuredly have the same points I do.

Now also, let's take a closer look at why you would write down all these stereotypes about a "nerd" and then proclaim them as perfect for any woman (which is quite absurd).

1. Just because they're everything opposite of what you hate about "jocks", doesn't mean you're the world's voice. Nerds nor geeks are for everyone.

2. You fail to mention, though a previous commenter has, that nerds/geeks will tend to be more interested in their technology rather than what makeup you bought or what shirt you're going to wear. There are times they don't care because they're preoccupied, not because they really don't care. In a perfect world you'd be walking around naked all the time anyway.

3. It takes a special kind of woman to put up with the intellectual antics of a nerd/geek. Get used to hearing about things you really don't care about, like how the toaster works, or why the bathtub water doesn't get hot right away, or how to bounce radio signals off the Moon to talk to the other side of the world.

As previously touched upon by a comment, this list is nothing more than a stereotype list of a "nerd" with undertones of why a "nerd" is perfect for a woman who doesn't want a real relationship, but just wants to win a bet.

You know... dogs have even little to tend with and they'll probably give you a lot more attention.

And one more thing... who in the hell is going to pass out from Mt. Dew?!</description>

		<description>You miss the fact that the geeks tend to get lost in their computers for weeks on end - it's as bad as having a traveling salesman as a b/f, but he's physically still there.

My wife actually started referring to my computer as "That woman you spend all your time with.  Aren't all computers female?"</description>
