Why Geeks and Nerds Are Worth It…

Read this first or the rest of the post will make very little sense.

While I agree on basically everything the author says there’s one fundamental flaw: people (girls especially) don’t think logically about whom they are attracted to and want to date. It’s all about emotions and even then it doesn’t alway make sense. I have a friend who basically said that she wants to date the bad boys and the players knowing full well that they are going to break her heart (and have broken her heart over and over). It makes no sense to me. She says she fully realizes what she’s doing to herself yet still does it. It’s like

The other thing to consider is the initial attraction or meetings. Far fewer geeks go out and get into situations where they can meet the ladies. You can be the best person in the world but if you never go out, no one will know.

I’m not really sure where I’m going with this. At a minimum I thought it was an interesting and entertaining read. But at he same time it highlights the fuckeuped-ness of modern dating. It’s almost like people date who other/society thinks they ought to date rather than who they should or want to date.

  1. It also highlights the many misnomers about geeks and nerds. I can fully enjoy the weekend on my PowerBook, but I also like to do “normal” activities — going to the bar, ballet and other fine arts. It pigeonholes geeks/nerds as if there is no spectrum, just a binary choice between geek/nerd and bad boy/player.

  2. I say Amen!
