50 reasons to date a geek

Geek cult.

im abit of a geek at times, seems to work fine for me, we seem to make awesome friends and partners since i guess when we get the girl we try harder to keep them?

alot of guys treat girls like a accesory then a person. a stereotypical geek will do the opposite :)
viva la geek!

So true. I'm the sister of a geek, the mother of a geek, and the wife of a geek. Life is wonderful!

Everyone has a little bit of geek in them. If you think you don't, you're probably what most would call 'boring'. It's the people who try to hide their silly side that come off as the dorkiest of all=)

I'm glad stereotyping is alive and kicking. I'm glad we can still hold on to the labels they give us, and we adopt, in highschool. I wish we could, just once, leave all those extra labels behind, and remember who we are, not what society dictates us to be. Fall in love for the sake of love, not for anything else.

So now geeks are cool. Which would make cool people geeks, which would then be cool again, in turn making them geeks that are cool. WHAT?!?!

the guy in the pic looks like he belongs in a ska band or something idk

Umm. im a geek... anyone?

Love it.. hahah!!

Everyone is a geek, including me.

Simplest reason on there:

They are intelligent: Geeks are often well read and well educated, so they are smart and can carry on an intelligent conversation.

How about dating someone because of their personality instead of public perception? Dating someone because they fit a social stereotype is still shallow, no matter if that person is defined as a geek, goth, prep, or jock.

define geek and nerd.

Viva la geeks!

As a super geek....I have always said this....

By this rationale it seems the PC guy gets the honey while the Mac guy goes home to iPorn, however the Linux guy hangs at the Playboy mansion.

Yeah right! Geeks as secret knights in shining armor is just a modern fairy tale. They are just as prone to being jerks as "regular" people are. I have five good reasons not to date geeks:

1. They like to feel intellectually superior to everyone. Since smarts are all geeks have, they often flaunt this to show their worth. Just like a bodybuilder flexes his muscles. If you happen to make the mistake of challenging this complex of theirs, there's a good chance your doting geek will morth into a pretentious asshole. Push it and you may even get a geek meltdown.

2. They're a bit childish. Many geeks opt to play RPGs or video games instead of cultivating a social life. This tends to keep them preserved in a state of childhood in many ways. Many aren't practiced in dealing with people on a mature level and quite a few still believe mommy should pick up after them. And if you're lucky, that new mommy could be you!

3. They are sexually immature. Geeks' adolescence isn't spent chasing members of the opposite sex, but more likely in a dark celler becoming a level 3 warlock or inventing something revolutionary. Either way, they still have hang ups to work through. You might be reminded of a conversation in your ninth grade locker room when they mention the opposite sex.

4. They tend to have crazy moms. Remember mommy? Well, there seems a high correlation between reclusive, introverted children and batshit crazy, over-protective moms. Their mom will have no reservations embroiling herself in any relationship issues between you and your geek. And your geek won't stop her.

5. They are just as insensitive as anyone else. It may even be because they got picked on in high school that they are more judgemental now; to compensate for feelings of low worth. This background of being "picked on" works both ways, y'know. And aside from that, they're still human.

Now I don't hate geeks and I know a lot of geeks don't fit this description, but a surprising portion do. I myself prefer the closet geek: they tend to be sexually and emotionally mature thanks to an active social life, modest about their huge IQ, and they still nerd out over their new computer monitor. Which is hot.

Can we define a geek? How about Beta-Males? Same thing? I am an alpha-beta male. Whatever that means....what are you?

Every comment attached to this thread is the most transparent,"let's all hold hands" "love me 'cause I'm different" bunch of crap that I have read in several days.

p.s. the couple in the picture look fairly frickin' hip to me.

I like geek girls. Why? Because they aren't high-maintenance, they aren't afraid to hide their faults, and they aren't afraid of displaying their passions despite whether or not it goes along with mainstream thinking.

I'm a geek/nerd, and so is my boyfriend. It really is the only way to go. He never brings flowers, but he gives me collectibles from all my favorite geeky movies. Geek love is real love.

I want to date someone like this. But if you are attracted to the more cocky asshole type, how do you force yourself to turn that part of you off. Heeeeelllp

How are those people geeks?
This either proves I'm so much of a geek I don't even notice fellow geeks when I see one, or I'm totally out of touch with reality.

The guy in the picture isn't a geek.

I have a hat like that...

It's interesting to see 94 stories on current pertaining to freedom of Speech and 243 stories pertaining to censorship yet current.com takes down anything that they find offensive. Example: I had a post on this thread that I was getting positive feedback from and Current currently has it under review. Guess there is no freedom of speech anywhere anymore.

Real Geeks are a little like Penguins, they mate for life. Unfortunately if something should ever happen to a Geeks mate (death or a breakup) they instantly retreat back to the basement never to be seen again.

Geeks and nerds are far more interesting than so-called "normal" people. And besides, a fellow geek would be far more likely to understand my random obsessions with Lost and Battlestar Galactica...right? (You know what, don't answer that.)

I've been a geek all my life...never gonna change

Geeks run the world. Yea! For being smart. To bad it doesn't translate to good relationships in the real world. No matter how smart you are. Men will never understand women. Not even someone who graduated from M.I.T.

For one thing a bad hat and a poor fashion choice doesn't make you a geek. I am a geek!! Computer nerd,
Classical music loving, non-drinking non smoking corny humor lovin' geek! I think education is of supreme importance and I go to all of my kids games. I even wear tape on my glasses from time to time and build tons of science projects with my kids. However, I dress well! Give the poor guy some clothes to wear!

I'm glad I can make "electonic" life easier.

Geeks not those over-priced douches from Best Buy, they're more like most of us on this site. Like caffeine, its good but not too much geek, just enough.

what about nerds?

I'm happy to see that stereotypes are no longer stopping people from appreciating what these types of people have to offer!

I find myself to be a 'connaisseur' of dating geeky boys and while most of the article is true, they are also very jealous. Think about it, they probably never got a girl in high school, so when they get you/sex they won't let go. Oh and being friendly to ex-boyfriends is totally out of the question.

That guy in the picture is most definitely not a geek.

We've taken over bitches! Everything that we were made fun of for when we were younger is now mainstream. Gadgets are taking over our lives. Comic books are being turned into movies. It's a great day.........Horrible article though. Most of the article is about using someone for what they can do and turning them into an emotional crutch. And I have no clue what you're talking about not needing to be athletic around geeks. I've been involved in all types of sports since I was little.

[End of my comment edited due to thin skinned users and currents pro-censorship stance. Don't say anything that is on your mind, if someone doesn't like it they will report you and your comment will be taken down. Sorry to the guy who replied and also got his comment stricken. Thank you Current for reminding me where my place is.]

I agree! I am a perfect example of "girl falls in love with geek". My boyfriends awesome!

The term geek must have been redefined cause back in the day it meant that your pants were hiked up to far and you wore a pocket protector. Not a good look.

Geek love

What's your stance on Dweebs?

LOL, plus Geeky chicks are way hotter. Just look at Tina Fey.

"Geeks won't cheat" unless it's online or with a Real Doll or a Fleshlite...or maybe some poly furry orgy at Dragon con

Geeks keep you thinking!
If I could do all over again I would want to be a "LEGAL GEEK or a GEEKY LAWMAKER".

i would rather go out with anyone that is passionate about something rather than, a hipster or model type who is so superficial that they cover themselves in trends.....shaking off the emo dust is hard to do, they are so darn cute.....hahaha!

Geeks take care of themselves...ha. I like that one. Smart and clean.

So i still might have a chance? Sweet!!!!

It's all about the money because geeks save. The best girl friend I ever had was a geek and she was also loyal. She is hot and is fun to talk to since she has a lot of information in her head.

Understandable! Intelligence wins over looks every time!

that shit is wack. i wouldn't say normal people because what is normal but you can mostly define a geek.

geeks know too much.

Geek chic - love it

I'm a geek.
I'm in for a chance?

Eh, what's this about geeks vs. 'regular people'..? In my book, the real people *are* 'geeks'. It's the idiotic mask-wearing social pretenders who aren't real.

mmmm chicken heads!!!!!!

I'l be telling all my fellow Geek Sqad workers they need to recite these for ext time they're out n the pul.

Geek squad for life...

Oh I don't need any reasons...I love geeks! Ok, probably more of a nerd, but not too far removed. Nerds...nerds...nerds!!! "I'm a nerd too."

Geeks is for life. Not just for Christmas.

I rekon the best reason to go out with a geek is so when that little message comes up on your laptop that says "Please contact system administrator, ' chances are you'll be going out with them.

Geeks make excellent boyfriends, girlfriends, and spouses. Although many of these are generalizations, this article has found 50 reasons why geeks have a lot to offer the dating world.
