Nerds make better lovers.

I dunno, this guy sounds like a poser to me. Maybe he has some geekly interests, but being intelligent doesn't qualify you as a geek. I'd say being a jock and a drummer disqualifies you. I'd say his woman likes him despite his geekiness, not because of it. Or maybe I'm just jealous because I'm not very athletic and can't play drums.


And Tiger Woods seems a bit geeky, but the man is the BEST GOLFER IN THE WORLD. And he is RICH. I think their definition of "geek" is a bit off. To quote Inigo Montoya (which is the sign of a True Geek), "That word you keep saying. I do not think it means what you think it means."

I disagree with the poser part. I have friends who are hardcore D&D/tech geeks but were big into football. And most drummers I knew (being in bands) came across as damn-near Rainman types. That they managed to stop air drumming long enough to chat up a girl (or to talk about anything other than other drummers) is beyond me!

The Tiger Woods part...I don't get that one either. What. The. Hell?

maybe if someone could define what a geek is in the term the world knows them as and not what a dictionary says. I dont bite the heads of chickens

You don't?

Buddy, you haven't lived!

Um...

Trust me, you can be a geek and be in a band. After all, we don't have the term band geek for nothing. It doesn't just refer to kids in a high school marching band either. I know a few guys in a rock band that are very geeky, but are known to rock out on stage.

From Wikipedia:

A geek is a person who is fascinated, perhaps obsessively, by technology and imagination.

There's more but that's the first line. I think it fits me to a tee. I have a family, a great job as a teacher (which means I have to have a modicum of social skills ), a really great wife and kid and if you looked at me you may or may not think I'm a geek. But talk to me and it becomes obvious.

 

[Aeson]

has anyone seen Beauty and the Geek? If that is the Benchmark for geekdom I have a long way to go.

What should it say about me that I could answer both the questions for the geeks and the beauties?

Ah, once again doubting the women, I see. If not hot, then rich? Why the crap do you want to go out with that kind of a girl anyway? Because she's hot? Double standards are fun, duhr hehr hehr.

But just so you know ... A lot of girls know on some level that geeks are better. Most geeks don't fit the stereotype of "me man, get me beer," and will respect a woman who respects them. Sure everyone wants hot and suave, but when honestly looking for a lasting relationship, ditch the pretty boys and get a geek. They're better in bed and are more interesting anyway.

And hey ... a similar concept applies with geek chicks here people! Who wants any of the fat, shy nerds when the more desirable girls are somewhere else?

Sooner or later everyone finds their match. That is if you keep trying and not spend too much thought on opinions like most of the doubters here. How can you expect someone to look past your own problems if you won't trust them?

It must be a pretty slow news day if they're rehashing Revenge of the Nerds.

Anyway, dream on, compadres.

Freaking hilarious. And I agree. 100% .
Every one of those guys has a fat wallet. Nothing has changed.
