Nerds make better lovers.

"She didn't fall for ME?!? Inconceivable!!"

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!

*slaps forehead*. I actually do know a person like this, so I recant this part of my comment with my apologies. However, he is not into football.

In fact, let me digress by saying that there is a big difference between 'liking football' and being able to play football to any degree of competence. Scott Dennis claims to be a jock, which gives me the impression that he usually wasn't the first KIA when playing Dodgeball in 6th grade.

However, I will concede that it is entirely possible to multiclass into jock and geek at the same time, to head off the inevitable reply by someone here that they lettered in football and loved to play D&D during their highschool and college salad days.

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

The Daily News article refers to Tiger's hot supermodel goddess-woman later on, and it tries to make the arguement that she picked Tiger because he is a geek. I wasn't buying it.

The only way I'd buy it is if you argue that Golf isn't a sport.

It says right in the article that one of the draws of nerds is their earning potential...

Too bad I'm a non-profit type of geek... I'm never going to make it to the 6-digit figures...

Yea I'm a geek too and I highly doubt I'll ever make much money too much morality and too little ambition to make $$$.

BTW I don't think Tiger is a geek. But I don't know much about the guy so who knows.

The linked article does miss the true definition of geek when they start mentioning David Arquette, Tiger Woods, etc. Those guys muchly have the money, therefore allowing them to get actresses/supermodels.

But it is definitely true. Geek = good relationship material.

As for myself: I'm a geek at heart, but I don't think I fit the geek or the 'stud' stereotype. I'm sort of an odd in-betweener with a few things that are waaay out there.

I spend my free time philosophing, reading, writing, playing video games, D&D, geek stuff. I consistently make the Dean's List without studying one bit (Psychology Major). My shelves are lined with Textbooks, D&D Books, and Sci-Fi/Fantasy Books. I earn $1,000+ a week doing construction. I'm "freaking gorgeous" according to more than several women. I've turned down 'offers' from some very attractive women because I want love and companionship before sex.

I have odd experience with meeting women. Whenever I make a move (which is rarely) she is always in a relationship with either an abusive jock or an actual nice guy (usually a fellow geek or someone with deep pockets and a good heart). Whenever she makes a move, it progresses in one of three directions. 1 - She right out wants sex. Declined. 2 - She initiates a conversation and gets to know me, decides I'm too 'tame' for her, and we simply become friends then slowly drift apart. *sigh* 3 - She initiates a conversation and gets to know me, and then decides she would prefer a one night stand. Declined. I've been told by many people that I'm wasting lots of opportunities to get laid. Honestly, I don't care.

So...I guess I'm a geek in terms of my hobbies and interests, but not so in terms of my Job, Income, and experience with women. Woe is me, I have no stereotype.

well your a bigger geek than I am. I'm not sure I would turn it down. Of course it has to be offered for me to turn it down.

I must be an oddity in that sex just for the sake of sex isn't my thing.

 

[Aeson]

Since I'm still waiting for miss right to be with at the age of 29, its starting to get a little tiresome. Of course if it was offered I'd most likely freak or freeze or perhaps both

We live in a time when Virgins are more rare than left handed people. To many sex is no big deal. I'm amazed at how casual people especial young people are with it.

In my opinion, if you can drink beer and smoke cigars while doing it, then it's not a sport. That goes for golf, bowling, pool, and sex.

Which is part of my decision to remain abstinent. I believe that sex, like life, religion, almost anything, is what you make of it. If I were to go to bed with just about anyone at every opportunity, then sex would become meaningless to me. That's just how I am.

Explaining this to women who propose a one-nighter tends to result in either a "What the heck is wrong with you?" stare, or a statement of "You must have more willpower than Jesus!" (or the like).

Meh. Just you wait. If history teaches us anything, it's that periods of sexual freedom are always followed by periods of sexual suppression. And vice versa. We just have to find us a nice balance. Which does not include marketing sweatpants with Bootyliscious embroidered on them to 8 year olds. (strayed a little off topic but hey, it's the OT forum)

In the words of Lewis Black: "Oral sex should be an Olympic Sport, because if you're any good at it you deserve a medal."
