I'm someone who is in between the cool, smooth guy, and the total nerd. I'll admit, I'm a flirt, and it's obvious. But I'm also the good guy. Glad to see a woman's side of how they want to be treated. Thanks!

11. Geek friends would, if anything, be less social and more likely to be jerks due to lack of people skills. At least normal friends can fake being nice, geek guys are more likely to say it how it is- Which is hot. But still, disproves 11.

12. So they're easy to cheat on… eggsalent! Ok, I like my guy a bit possessive. The idea of losing me should make him a little uneasy. He should know there’s no other guy I’d rather be with, and if there was I’d be with that other guy, but evolution made jealousy for a reason… I know it’s a caveman mentality, but I would like a guy to look at me and think “Mine.” And yes, I do like the idea of dating a guy with lower physical standards… but I don't want to waste my cuteness on a guy who doesn't appreciate when I put in the effort to look nice also. Finally, most guys find the girl in a ratty t-shirt thing hot… given they aren't wearing anything else.

13. Interesting personalities exist without being a Physics major. I dare say, talking to a Physics major may be about as interesting as talking to a reference librarian's assistant. Want an interesting conversation, date a carnie.

14. Okay, the person writing this list must have been dating guys at BYU. Geeks drink, a lot. A LOT. They need to destress from hours of code, WoW, whatever. With brains in top gear 24/7, they enjoy hanging out and drinking. The only reason Mt. Dew cans would be lying around would be if they were used as mixers. But even still, geeks prefer Red Bull.

15. LIES! A geek boyfriend cares about the way you look. He may not require highlights and lowlights, but his Elf Princess can’t be sporting a paper bag over her Elven tiara… Lies…

Why Geeks and Nerds Aren't Worth It…

In the wide world of dating, there are many options. Do you go for the flashy guy with the smooth smile, or the dude in the corner typing away on his laptop? The following are reasons why I think my fellow females should pay more attention to the flashy boys, and less attention to the quiet geeks and nerds.

1. Geeks and nerds may sometimes be awkward, but they are not well-meaning 9 out of 10 times. Let's not get goofy and innocent confused. They're smart, so they have an agenda. If there is something they want, they feel justified in stretching morals and rules to get it. Think Microsoft attacking Yahoo!. Red Cross, Green Peace, those are well-meaning organizations… surprisingly low on geeks. But hey, if well-meaning was a trait girls were really interested in nice guys wouldn't be finishing last.

2. They are useful, but if I was dating a guy for use I'd date a mechanic. A car costs more than a laptop.

3. If a guy likes you, he'll be romantic. Whether geek or goth or Spartan… every guy goes the extra mile for a girl he wants to keep around. And my friends would be more impressed with flowers. I'd be more impressed with a card with macaroni hearts on it. Point being, geek romance is still just romance… except expressed in 0's and 1's.

4. Ok, stretching a bit here, eh? There are plenty of types, shapes, sizes, of all guys. Let's respect geeks/nerds enough not to come up with a fake number 4 reason to make them special.

5. They do have brains. Very good ones. But if you date somebody whose brains exceed yours, you'll start noticing your geek isn't paying as much attention to you as he used to. Geeks need to be challenged, and it's quite a responsibility. Better brush up on your Star Trek trivia so his eye doesn't wander…

6. Geeks remember dates? Most geeks are aware of the unimportance of dates and with all the facts they have crammed in their head already, remembering your first kiss isn't something that's going to take priority over checking their inbox 80 times a day. If anything, a geek's life is busy enough to not have to remember anniversaries while the rest of us need them to add substance to our lackluster geekless lives.

7. The Revenge of the Nerds theory. Easily rebuked with: "Practice Makes Perfect." You can think about playing the guitar 24/7, unless you've got one to play you can only get so good.

8. Low Maintenance?! Keeping the interest of a geek is no easy task. They need to be challenged or their superior brains will seek somebody who is up to the task. Back to Star Trek trivia… and you better know episode numbers too!

9. Wow. That's just… so untrue. From top to bottom, just such a complete lie. It's a good thing number 8 exists, or number 7 and number 9 would make contact and this list would implode.

10. Is this a positive? A negative? And Red Bull makes more sense than Mt. Dew… when...

Amen, sistah! If you want to find some truly nerdy men, stroll on over to Intellect Connect (www.intellectconnect.com). It will probably rock your world.

Nathan about 1 year ago

awesome, and spot on. except the trust thing.
and yeah, i'm fairly geeky. myself and a group of guys would run LAN tournaments monthly, if not fortnightly, and the like. couple of us are into cars as much as our desktops, but any one of us is likely to fix whatever computer problem the "normal" woman'd have at home/work. thing is, most of us are rock climbers/rugby players too, and have kept steady girlfriends for a good while, so in response to Sarah, there are some hot geeks. girls chat us up fairly often (no false modesty, like). but yeah, we'd be seen as geeks rather than nerds, in that although we're fanatic about computers, it's not our only forté. other stuff (physical activity, wtf?) works too =D

I've been friends with a group of 'geeks' or 'nerds' for about 3 years ago. i actually refer to them as 'my guys'. they're absolutely awesome, and any girl who has a chance to date one should consider themselves lucky. I've been dating one of the guys for 5 months now, and seriously...everything here is true.

Sarah about 1 year ago

That is really sweet...especially #15...are there any HOT nerds / geeks? Cuz that will be a definite plus.

fb-93402628 about 1 year ago

These seem like the sort of things ugly girls would say to themselves when they are dating someone on the social dungheap.

thank you!!

jesus17 about 1 year ago

you hit the nail right on the head with this one...great stuff!

fb-119301209 over 2 years ago

Agreed. Dorks are often the same way (though not quite as extreeme on the computers, and are more social).

fb-13750230 over 2 years ago

being a geek i realize that the backslash glitch is really a way of preventing SQL exploits, they just forgot to clean the code before they display it again

I have had #10 happen to me a few times, but i code in the dark so you dont have to turn off the lights.

#13 - For every bit we don't talk about our cars, we do talk about our networks, computers and current gaming achievements, which for some reason females could care less about.

Great Read.

fb-1146240194 over 2 years ago

Mmmmmhmmm I agree with the article. I'm slightly geeky, and I can see these things in myself. I treat girls with respect, and hate it when people speak and/or type in Ebonics or some equivalent. It's just damn bad that not enough girls know or believe this.

fb-715995306 over 2 years ago

The last sentence in number 6 is incorrect. Got should be have or get (either works); using got switches tenses in the sentence. Other than that it's pretty cool.

fb-663280132 over 2 years ago

thats so me. and im not even geeky, i just know ****. haha. but then again, im not always "flashy" either. lol
