- kalleanka, on 01/02/2008, -12/+322*****, I thought it is hard enough to just find _a_ girlfriend.
Now I even have to dump her if she isn't into the computer geek guys?
Man I will remain single for a long time from now... :( - fwc67, on 01/02/2008, -4/+272it'll be awesome to see what happens and see if he dumps her over the diggnation guys' advice.
- consoneo, on 01/02/2008, -0/+263Their advice is pretty sound, especially at the end... "If she wants to marry you without the geek, then she doesn't wanna marry you. She wants to marry someone else."
- superman112, on 01/02/2008, -3/+234Forwarded to my girlfriend.
- thephosphorbox, on 01/02/2008, -3/+202Sad thing is, I know two geek girls who are big time into video games & computers.. and they only date non-geek guys!! WTF!
- Waskonator, on 01/02/2008, -7/+178non-geek guys.... or a cup?
- KyloOb, on 01/02/2008, -2/+162I can't begin to count the amount of times i've had to say "And if I want to dress up as a ninja and jump around....."
- ucg1, on 01/02/2008, -2/+147She doesn't have to be into it, but she has to be accepting and a little bit open minded about it. I mean, can you really be happy being with someone who doesn't accept who you are and wants you to be someone else? Who wants to be with someone like that?
And btw being single is not so bad, its way better than being with wrong person. - Braingoo, on 01/02/2008, -5/+122Single > Than with someone wanting to change you.
- inactive, on 01/02/2008, -8/+122I'd answer that but I'd probably get banned for pointing out a difference between sexes.
- xposiactionx, on 01/02/2008, -2/+115My girl is about equally as geek as me. So it works out. We even have rad geek children that enjoy stat trek @ age 4... we are doomed.
- johnnick, on 01/02/2008, -4/+111So this guy recognizes that his girlfriend doesn't like certain aspects of his life and his personality, and is going to want to change him. He's setting the relationship up for disaster - either he will change to accommodate her, in which case he will either resent her for making him give up things that he loves or he will do them in secret and take time and attention away from the relationship, or he won't change and she'll resent the time he spends on geek activities and will ignore him when he isn't behaving in a way that she accepts. Either scenario is such a GOOD basis for a long lasting, healthy relationship. Given their differences, I'm not quite sure why this guy proposed to her, or why she said yes, but these are definitely things they need to work out before getting married.
- reazal, on 01/02/2008, -6/+109Why is that most geeks are guys?
- mlwarrior, on 01/02/2008, -22/+109You know what works? Ignore when she complains about this *****, and just ***** her brains out at the end of the day.
- lisaawesome, on 01/02/2008, -1/+83I get so irritated when I see good geek guys with girls who don't appreciate it and want to change it.
- Sithlrd, on 01/02/2008, -3/+85Dug for truth. Dump 'er.
- fungule, on 01/02/2008, -5/+86noone should ever enjoy stat trek
- TehChix0r, on 01/02/2008, -2/+81I almost married a non-geek once. It was the worst mistake evar. Every time I'd say something even the slightest bit geeky he'd call me a nerd, and not even in an endearing way.
I finally figured out he wasnt the one (after 4 years) when he said he "didnt want to look stupid playing the 'Revolution' " when I asked him if he would play my Wii with me.
Since then I've found a nice nerdy gamer boy to play with me and couldnt be happier. :D - thetechkid, on 01/02/2008, -3/+72And thats why there are no girls on the computer, and the internet being almost entirely porn.(the rest of the internet being youtube videos and podcasts talking about the porn and no girls on the internet)
- Hermiod, on 01/02/2008, -0/+65Very old piece of advice - love the one you're with, not who you want them to be.
- euro22, on 12/17/2008, -35/+94Do you really think women have the mental capability to operate complicated electronics such as computers?
- jon30041, on 01/02/2008, -0/+57But... the voyage across the numbers and equations, discovering the means of the universe! And the modes! The medians, as well!
Stat Trek: The Next Computation is the best! - leerayIG88, on 01/02/2008, -2/+59I wish I had a girlfriend. : *sigh*
- solarsavior, on 01/02/2008, -0/+56The instant he stops being who he is, they both lose. He will no longer be the person he wants to be and he will no longer be the person she fell in love with. Healthy relationships require personal growth and growth as a couple. He will grow in time in his individual pursuits and she will grow in time in hers (and she better have some, she better not be hinging her happiness on him). The two of them will then grow as a couple. It is a horrible mistake to stop being who you are to please someone else. There are more women out there.
- ohhoe, on 01/02/2008, -1/+57Holy *****, bear genitalia?!!??!!?
- david050, on 01/02/2008, -3/+58I went into that store once and it really made me want to kill myself. It's was like traveling into the heart of darkness.
- RedReplicant, on 01/02/2008, -0/+53Absolutely. This guy has to have compromised himself pretty seriously to have even continued the relationship for as long as he has! Sounds like a complete and utter failure. Why bring another crappy marriage of two people who aren't honest with eachother into this world? There's more than enough of those already.
- xptoast, on 01/02/2008, -0/+53I would dump her now. Sorry but some girls don't understand the concept of...my time, your time, our time. Geeks have a lot of time to themselves. We are mental mind kind of people. We zone out and forget time exists. Just don't hate us. We are normal. Just in our own way.
- R1thousand, on 01/02/2008, -1/+52You have to be ok with me "dressing up like a ninja, and jumping around"
That's funny - Slick135, on 01/02/2008, -0/+50So true. #1 thing a gamer wants to hear from his gf. Priceless to us.
"This is not my thing, and I know its not my thing, but I know it's your thing, so let's give it a shot" - gregdigg, on 01/02/2008, -0/+47I believe that's called gay porn, and it's not for women.
- bigteebo, on 01/02/2008, -0/+46Remember geek girls, if you break up with your boyfriend, there will be about 20 geek males waiting to pounce on you. Their cronjobs will be ready.
- Waskonator, on 01/02/2008, -1/+47I can haz numb3r?
- karenflower, on 01/02/2008, -2/+48Geek boyfriends are the best! :)
- ElbertF, on 01/02/2008, -1/+46I don't trust you! You're from the internets!
- inactive, on 01/02/2008, -2/+46same reason that most kindergarten teachers are female. Or why most people are right handed. Or why english is the "dominant" language.
It's just a byproduct of society/civilization; there is no "real" reason for it. If there is any "inherent" mental difference between the sexes, it's probably so slight as to be vastly outweighed and rendered statistically insignificant by the natural variation among any two human beings. But the phenomenon of gender has implanted itself firmly into the fabric of social interaction; certainly in the early beginnings of "civilized" behaivior, certain tasks were divided along sexual lines for biological reasons (men have more upper body strength, women bear children) but as with many social phenomena, more or less arbitrary symbolism became attached to these behaiviors (much like religion, language, superstition, ritual, and/or tradition). Since socialization starts essentially as early as the brain can process information (perhaps while still even in the womb) these symbols and associations, arbitrary as they may be, become very deeply engrained in every member of society. Of course, in certain societies, they are are more or less pronounced, absent, or even reversed; it is the fact of globalization and worldwide communication that worldwide society is becoming homogenized and sharing these symbolisms to a nearly universal extent. - schneidafunk, on 01/02/2008, -2/+44i have a GF (3 years now) who is not a geek at all. The worst fights we've had have been about her jealous of my time. She's accused me of cheating on her when in actuality I was programming until 4am. The excuse *Sorry baby, I'm working, can't go out tonight* gets her pissed every time.
- smergs, on 01/02/2008, -1/+41Ha. My wife watched this with me last night. Glad she was sitting there when they started talking about this stuff. However, she (not being a geek) is cool enough to buy me games for Christmas and gives me time to play.
The key is showing her that I am willing to give up playing occasionally just to be nice and do things with her. It's best to do that unexpectedly and then it means even more to her. As long as we both compromise for each other, we both end up being happy. My 360 gamer score isn't what I'd like it to be but I can't complain. I get to play and she is still happy. - radink360, on 01/02/2008, -1/+41She's lame. She sounds like she wan't Joe office corporate sales guy who plays sports and watches football on the weekends. He should dump her ass, because if that is what she really wants, then she's going to eventually cheat. Dump the douche bag.
- billbillbilly, on 01/02/2008, -0/+38oh god i hope its not coming
- DrMonkeyLove, on 01/02/2008, -1/+39You're "allowed"? That can't be good.
- Jsmuli2, on 01/02/2008, -8/+45there's more to it. basically, if you show that you have been a geek or nerd from the beginning of the relationship, but make it a point to turn off the game every now and then just so you can show you can give her the attention necessary for a functional relationship...but there have been days my girlfriend came back from work and I am playing an intense match in gears of war and I say, look, I gotta finish this, we came back from a 4-0 hole, and it's just me and 1 locust.
- EXreaction, on 01/02/2008, -0/+37Yep, just like she should be willing to give up things for you, you should be able to give up things for her.
- samelevel, on 01/02/2008, -2/+39I just proposed to my non-geek girlfriend on Christmas. She said yes.
Now I'm allowed to go get that new 780i motherboard and 9750 Intel! Hooray for marriage!
Too bad I can't edit this comment in a year... :) - countingthedays, on 01/02/2008, -0/+37Me too. Glad to be single again.
