Why Geeks and Nerds Are Worth It…
Date: 2005-04-03, 9:30PM PDT
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, theyâre well-meaning 9 out of 10 times. That smooth dude with the sly grin and the spider hands? Wonder what HIS intentions are… plus, Iâve never had a geek guy not call me when he said he would. Score major points THERE.
2.) Theyâre useful. In this tech-savvy world, itâs 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.) Theyâre more romantic than theyâre 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 âem tall and slender? There are plenty of geeks/nerds who are. You like âem smaller with more meat on their bones? Got that too.
5.) Theyâve 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 itâll make you happy. Due again to their neglected status, theyâre more attentive than guys who âhave more optionsâ. Plus, with all that down time without a steady girlfriend, theyâll likely have mental lists of all the things theyâd love to do once they GOT a girlfriend.
7.) Sex. Yep. Sex. Iâm not really familiar with this myself, but Iâve friends whoâve been intimate with geek guys and itâs 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.) Theyâre relatively low-maintenance. Most can be fueled on pizza, Twinkies and Mt Dew. No complicated dinners needed here, so if youâre not the best cook, eh. Can you order a pizza?
9.) Most frequent bars as often as slugs frequent salt mines. You wonât have to worry much about your geek guy getting his âgrooveâ on with club hotties because, frankly, heâll be too busy rooting around under his computer wondering where that spare cable went. You wonât have to worry about him flirting with other women because, 9 out of 10 times, heâll zip right by them in a perfect b-line towards the nearest electronics store. Iâve seen this happen.
Me: âEww. Victoria Secretâs Models… Theyâre so skinny. How is that feminine? You can see her ribs!â
Geek Guy: âooooooo…â
Me: âHey!â *notices he is staring lustfully towards the computer store*
Geek Guy: âWhat?â
Me: âNever mind…â
10.) Although he may not want to go to every outing with you, you can arrange swaps, as in, youâll go to his Gamer Con dressed as an elf princess if heâll take you to the ballet. Plus, if he doesnât want to go someplace with you, you wonât have to worry much about what heâs up to. Youâll probably come home to find him asleep on his keyboard in a sea of Mt. Dew cans with code blinking from the screen. Itâs ok. Heâs used to this. Just toss a blanket over him and turn out the light.
11.) His friends arenât jerks. I canât stress this enough. Youâll more likely get âOmg! A GIRL!! Can I see?!â than âHey hot stuff back that ass up here and let me get some grub on…â Theyâre 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.) Theyâre 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 wonât care. He does too! They wonât get pissy if you donât wear make-up or donât want to bother primping your hair. If you gain a few pounds, they wonât try their best to make you feel like crap.
13.) Theyâre usually very well educated. Physics majors and the like. See #5. You wonât have to listen to him blathering on about his car (ok maybe a little), heâll 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.) Youâll almost never have to hear, âYaw dawg whazzap!!â plop out of their mouths. Unless itâs 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 âwastedâ, so you wonât 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 thatâs 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 âDaMN baby you got a fine ass!!!â Believe me.
