- nymphetamine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24"Once you have snagged him, you can forget about him keeping you two a secret. Geeks communicate with other geeks via live journals or blogs "
But will anyone believe him? No! - schestowitz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22I don't think the submitter will get many clicks with that avatar. ;-)
- saikhan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20literally
- p0ss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13OMG, this is exactly what my gf has been doing.. step for step!!
I've been had! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Boy did you pick the wrong site to say that on.
- Crash1337, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I've just emailed this to all the girls i know, im bound to get laid now!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9What happens when you're the geek chick....
- nixonrichard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8"After a few months of training, you should see a significant improvement in his geek levels. It's important that he doesn't realise what is going on however, he may start to rebel - if he ever catches on."
Red Green is no tool. He would not put up with being used. - Renolc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6"15.) And the final reason why geeks and nerds make great boyfriends: 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."
That, alone, is worth a digg.
So many times, I've seen girls choose the wrong guy, _just_ because he's popular.
I'm not saying they have to pick me. But for the love of God, find someone who actually loves you.
Not loves your body. - selrahc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6They are kinda like men, with different parts:)
- jawagas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5haha, Other girls are unlikely to steal him.
That hurts. - bhavi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5If only someone showed this article to the girls where I lived!
- SirNoobius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I caught on pretty quickly (4 months) and bailed out.
- mdopure, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6My boyfriend and I are both geeks, but he knows much more about computers and technology than me. Personally, I like a guy who can fix my computer, give me all the downloaded music it takes to fill up my 60 GB iPod, play video games with me (without laughing _too_ much at how badly I drive in GTA), show me websites like digg.com, and everything else that goes with a geek. What's not to love? Seriously, some girls don't know what they're missing out on.
Now if only my geeky brother could find a girlfriend... - Neoanarchist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I've seen an honest, free iPhone ad since I've seen an emotionally stable girl.
- artofwar420, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Here's part of the equation: chick + prick guy = sexy time (short term relationship)
chick + nice guy = marriage (long term relationship)
It is what it is, it is not fair for the nice guy or the chick that gets treated like trash, it has something to do with evolution or some ***** like that. I think you guys are smart enough to figure this out. - rockforever, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7I'm the biggest geek i know, but my GF left me and now i feel like complete *****.
- nreynolds, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4- from the linked cookie recipe
for (int i = 0; i < tinFoil.size(); i++)
{
Cookie cookie = (Cookie) tinFoil.get(i);
if (!cookie.isCooked())
{
stillWaiting = true;
break;
}
}
dang, that's too bad. I wanted to bake these cookies but it's terrible programming to break out of a for-loop, my CS teacher would kill me, and our AP's coming up. - jonohull, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4http://sfbayarea.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/66795671.html
This one makes us sound less like untrained dogs. - jimrooney, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4>> Most importantly one day their geeky skills will earn them a mint!
Ok, if I'm a paycheck, you're an object.
Glad we got that sorted. - stupidverizon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5just want to say this about being a geek:
It rocks. Don't be afraid to show your geeky side, anywhere. - Huevoos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Oh my god, I just realized, I'm a geek!!!
- artofwar420, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That actually exists buddy boy.
- drjekelmrhyde, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Here's a Linux geek girl
http://www.consumptionjunction.com/downloadsnew/cj_64960.jpg - 800266622, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4girls? whats that?!?!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3geek chicks in high demand, like what a Wii or PS3? I'm not to sure that's entirely true, at least from my experience. Then again, maybe there is the cool geek chick and the weird geek chick.
- Ademan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's funny, a geek chick instantly gets bumped up one or two points on my scale... kinda sad too...
- Ahnteis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Geek chicks, like Engineer chicks are in incredibly high demand.
- ronalopolis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I dont know about this one shes talking about how geeks are cool and can be good boyfriends but then is trying to take away some of his geek tendencies.... and the hole thing about training us kind of offends me. I guess im just lucky to be a geek that got married to a girl that is also a geek, no awkward transition there.
- saikhan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4god bless these inside jokes.
http://pdfiles.ytmnsfw.com/?37e7a856cbeda8193975de2568931a31 - Ahnteis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2She's not the geek. She tried her best. :P
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2sigh... cant i just BUY the cookies??? and besides you are the geeky one! on digg... at 1:24.. i have calculus to do!
- 800266622, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3oh I always thought that they were just rumored to exist like the sword of a thousand truths on world of warcraft!
- antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Pick me, you hot/cute girls. [grin] ;)
- deadlogic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2this article is prejudiced against fat geeks.
- Shilov, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Well that's certainly not a flattering endorsement. "Get a geek, because no one else wants one, and someday he'll be rich."
Tongue-in-cheek is the best way to read it, eh? - PsyQ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Thanks so much for being the one to mention this. If you hadn't, I would have had to.
Am I the only one who thinks this new article is just a (bad) rip-off/rewrite of the Girl's Guide to Geek Guys? And an offending one. The writing style is unbelievably blunt. If there's any humor in there, it's pretty good at camouflage. "The best way train your geek, is to adopt methods similar to those used in dog obedience classes." Thank you.
Do yourself a favor and read the Guide. Look at the "Post-It Note" section, for example. That's subtle and cute, and I don't even like Star Trek. This Geek or Chic thing? Jackhammers and needles.
I read the "original" back in 1995, I believe, I hope that adds some geek cred. I also showed it to my girlfriend, who seems to be delighted by the fact that _other_ women like their geeks -- it makes her like hers better, too ;) - maduin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm a geek who turns my girlfriends into geeks. In fact, I'll write an article about how to turn your newfound (or worn in) girlfriend into a geek. Seriously, my girlfriend didn't even have a computer when we first started dating, but when I showed her all the awesome things you can do with it, she immediately picked up her own along with a $130 dollar directional wifi antennae for free leechings of the internets. I also got her excited about the Wii, and she'll probably soon be picking up a black DS Lite to go with my white one. I've shown her the awesomeness that is puzzle fighter, and she'll beg me to play it with her... wait, am I a geek, or a nerd? Either way, instead of letting your girlfriend turn you away from your geeky self, you need to turn the tables and convert her to the ways of geekdom.
- 800266622, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2sigh. Diggers/responders above:
I was being sarcastic. - zyzzyvette, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, some of those things (living in filth, tapered-ankle pants...) are pretty unattractive, but I was referring more to things like this:
"You will never be able to remove the geekiness from him completely, the best you can do is conceal it a bit better than he does. "
Why would anyone want to hide the fact that their boyfriend is an intelligent, interesting person? Often times the good qualities of a geek outweigh the bad, especially if you're tired of listening to Joe Sixpack yammer on about his car and/or favorite sport. - Jack9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1inaccurate beats out dupe.
- Bjorn2404, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That was a fantastic article.
- Jemulov, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Keyword: Emotionally stable...
- hiPpymIck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1good read
FTA.."gaggle of geeks" (as in gaggle of geese)
here are some more suggestions
http://www.eurogamer.net/forum_thread_posts.php?thread_id=17370&category_id=22&forum_id=1
eg "google of geeks"
or "herd of nerds" - artofwar420, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1She has "pointy" boobs. I'd hit it.
- gamer31, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4You're screwed.
- cybernezumi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1A bit older, but better sense of humor and less "how to get & fix him":
http://www.neystadt.org/john/humor/Girls-Guide-To-Geek-Guys.htm - lindsaydayton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Girl knows what she's talking about...that howto section is _exactly_ how I snagged my geek. Turns out, he liked me for years and waited for me to make the first move. Totally. worth. the. wait.
- Shilov, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You can't forget to mention that she has a section called 'LaTeX Hints' and is doing research in nanotech. That's geeky.
