Why geeks and nerds are worth it

[____]

This is told from a female point of view - just so you all know ;)

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 quiet geeks and nerds, and less attention to the flashy boys.

 

 

 

1.) While geeks and nerds may be awkward, they?re well-meaning 9 out of 10 times. That smooth dude with the sly grin and the spider hands? Wonder what HIS intentions are... plus, I?ve never had a geek guy not call me when he said he would. Score major points THERE.

 

 

 

2.) They?re useful. In this tech-savvy world, it?s great to have a b/f who can make your laptop, desktop, and just about anything else that plugs into a wall behave itself.

 

 

 

3.) They?re more romantic than they?re given credit for. Ok true, their idea of romance might be to make up a spiffy web-page with all the reasons why they love you, with links to pics of you and sonnets and such... but hey. It lasts longer than flowers, plus you can show your friends.

 

 

 

4.) Due to their neglected status, there are plenty to choose from. You like ?em tall and slender? There are plenty of geeks/nerds who are. You like ?em smaller with more meat on their bones? Got that too.

 

 

 

5.) They?ve got brains. Come on now, how can intelligence be a bad thing?

 

 

 

6.) Most are quite good at remembering dates. Like birthdates and such, especially if they know it?ll make you happy. Due again to their neglected status, they?re more attentive than guys who ?have more options?. Plus, with all that down time without a steady girlfriend, they?ll likely have mental lists of all the things they?d love to do once they GOT a girlfriend.

 

 

 

7.) Sex. Yep. Sex. I?m not really familiar with this myself, but I?ve friends who?ve been intimate with geek guys and it?s raves all around. They say a virgin wrote the Kama Sutra... all that time thinking about sex, imagining sex, dreaming about sex, (they are male after all) coupled with a desire to make you happy? Use your imagination.

 

 

 

8.) They?re relatively low-maintenance. Most can be fueled on pizza, Twinkies and Mt Dew. No complicated dinners needed here, so if you?re not the best cook, eh. Can you order a pizza?

 

 

 

9.) Most frequent bars as often as slugs frequent salt mines. You won?t have to worry much about your geek guy getting his ?groove? on with club hotties because, frankly, he?ll be too busy rooting around under his computer wondering where that spare cable went. You won?t have to worry about him flirting with other women because, 9 out of 10 times, he?ll zip right by them in a perfect b-line towards the nearest electronics store. I?ve seen this happen.

 

Me: ?Eww. Victoria Secret?s Models... They?re so skinny. How is that feminine? You can see her ribs!?

 

Geek Guy: ?ooooooo...?

 

Me: ?Hey!? *notices he is staring lustfully towards the computer store*

 

Geek Guy: ?What??

 

Me: ?Never mind...?

 

 

 

10.) Although he may not want to go to every outing with you, you can arrange swaps, as in, you?ll go to his Gamer Con dressed as an elf princess if he?ll take you to the ballet. Plus, if he doesn?t want to go someplace with you, you won?t have to worry much about what he?s up to. You?ll probably come home to find him asleep on his keyboard in a sea of Mt. Dew cans with code blinking from the screen. It?s ok. He?s used to this. Just toss a blanket over him and turn out the light.

 

 

 

11.) His friends aren?t jerks. I can?t stress this enough. You?ll more likely get ?Omg! A GIRL!! Can I see?!? than ?Hey hot stuff back that [wagon] up here and let me get some grub on...? They?re awkward geeks too and will, 9 times out of 10, treat you with the utmost respect and, more than likely, a note of awe. A cute girl picked one of their clan to date? It could happen to them! Hope! Drag some of your single girlfriends over, open up a pack of Mt. Dew, crack open the DnD set and get working. Nothing impresses geek guys more than a girl who can hack-n-slash (well ok maybe if she can code... a geek can dream).

 

 

 

12.) They?re rarely if ever possessive. They trust you, so you can be yourself around them. You like to walk around the house in a ratty t-shirt for comfort? He won?t care. He does too! They won?t get pissy if you don?t wear make-up or don?t want to bother primping your hair. If you gain a few pounds, they won?t try their best to make you feel like crap.

 

 

 

13.) They?re usually very well educated. Physics majors and the like. See #5. You won?t have to listen to him blathering on about his car (ok maybe a little), he?ll have loads of other interesting things to talk about. Politics, world events, how much the chicken burgers down at the local place rock, so long as you douse them in hot sauce...

 

 

 

14.) You?ll almost never have to hear, ?Yaw dawg whazzap!!? plop out of their mouths. Unless it?s in jest. They spell properly, use correct punctuation, and are able to tell the difference between the toilet and the floor. They almost never get ?wasted?, so you won?t have to worry about coming home to find him and his friends passed out on the floor amidst a pile of beer bottles. Mt. Dew cans, perhaps...

 

 

 

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 [wagon]!!!? Believe me.

 

 

 

For all the ladies in the forum, agree - yes / no? reasons?

[Auberean]

At the risk of stepping over the line, I'll just say that girls like jerks because they have alot more to offer than geeks.

[Faux]

It made me laugh :P

[jak722]

It overgeneralizes the stereotype, but its still rather amusing hehe.

Name one thing.

 

 

 

"Geeks" are long-term. Husband material. Your average jerky guy lasts all of a month and after that month, you'll feel like crap. Go to myspace once and look at random girls' profiles...I bet you anything, more than 50% of the time you'll see a blog about how guys are jerks and only want sex, wont' you? Yep, you will.

[knives669]

I can agree with that. But "geeks and nerds" are the only kind of nice guy. I've met some "geeks" that are douchebags too.

[hott_mell_babe]

i dont mind nerds ahe the way the treat chicks is way better than the "jocks" as u americans call em...as for the se,x nerds r good as long as the keep the computer talk outside the bedroom!

If we're sticking to geek stereotypes here, the average geek isn't as attractive as a jock, is less ambitious, and less experienced. Why would you be interested in someone like that? Unless you like scrawny guys with poor social skills. I'm not referencing anyone, just sticking to the stereotype.

*Geek goes up to his girlfriend* "You know having sex with you was better than that new video card I got last week, and that thing lets me run all the games with the best performance!" :thumbsup:

[RaggyTramp1]

Well that was fun read, but i might add on

 

 

 

They dont lose inerest!

 

:P its true i been with my gf for 4 months now and one of my other friends has had 5+ in the 4 months i had one

By stereotype, yes.

 

 

 

is less ambitious

 

Not true. Even the stereotypical nerd / geek are generally portrayed as "wanting to get ahead in life" rather than "constantly party" ;)

 

 

 

and less experienced.

 

Yes, that tends to happen a lot.

 

 

 

Why would you be interested in someone like that? Unless you like scrawny guys with poor social skills. I'm not referencing anyone, just sticking to the stereotype.

Same could be said for why would you be interested in someone who treats the opposite sex like beanbags? Generally speaking about 'Jocks' there.

[Arcticrunite]

Rick this is a sad excuse to see if you have a glimmering ray of hope to get some :P

 

 

 

Was a good read, and the author does bring up several good points, us geeks are not all grabby and we are rather..ehm dedicated to our work?

[Auberean]

is less ambitious

Less ambitious...relationship-wise, I meant. Kind of relates to my 'less experienced' comment.

Most girls who go after jocks tend not to be interested in love relationships, they just want the experience, so it works out for both parties. The whole thing is very situational though, I'd have to agree.

 

[Greatsilverwyrm]

Yes, because a one-night-stand is a much higher ambition than a lifelong loving relationship.

[megakiller32]

according to that i'm a nerd.

 

But then again, i get called a geek or nerd from this chav at school, because i don't wear my trousers at my knees and listen to rap music. :-k

rofl

 

 

 

but yea i agree, a smart guy can do anything he wants in life but the big 300 lb qb for the football team can get a job... picking things up?

[cyco]

I found the article to be a secret way of offending geeks and nerds. But I also found it to be true being a master-nerd myself ;). Just kidding. Or am I?

[Sp4de]

Perhaps there is hope for people in this forum :P

[jak722]

^^ Wishful thinking hehe. ^^ :

[blushenka]

Sort of agree with first post, and I have a thing for geeks/nerds. Still, sometimes one can prefer other types of guys, even if they're more stupid and superficial and you secretly laugh at them. Just in the same way that guys may sometimes prefer bimbos? :-w

[Bubsa]

Babe, I need a heat sink, because you've been overclocking all week. 8-)

[dusqi]

Woo! Go Geeks! :mrgreen:

 

 

 

But yea.. Don't bother spending much time considering stereotypes. There are far more exceptions than people that fit the rule. People just date who they want in their own unique random way, and most don't have a clue about what kind of person they're going to fall far until it happens :D And that's why it's so special and exciting :D

It's delusional to think all girls are after a lifelong loving relationship.

99% are. It's female nature. The other 1% are the jaded kind that can't stand men unless they're having sex with them.

But most girls don't see it as that. Luckily some girls on here can, but the girls at school ignore geeks and nerds. I'm all right without a girlfriend for a while, I'm worried about my grades. 3.8 - 4.0 GPA is what I'm trying to stay at. But I do hate how those Jock people treat girls. I want to go and hit them in the face some times. I have a lot of friends who are girls, and thats what they just want to be and well, I've never asked them out before :-k . But I guess I get that from my dad (the part of hitting jocks in the face) because he raised me as the guy who opens car doors for girls, opens just regular doors for girls, pulls out chairs, writes thank-you cards for like everything, etc. I like doing that stuff and girls appreciate it. Too bad girls at school can't see this Then they wouldn't be crying 24/7 and writing 100's of blogs.
