They say that women like us don't exist. The ones that see a level 80 druid and get turned on. The ones that will go home with a man who comes up to them in a bar and says "I used to be a scalar, then you gave me direction." The ones who not only think medical tape on your hands to prevent blisters during gaming is hot, but a really good idea too. The ones who love it when you blind them with science. I'm here to say, we do exist, and we're not all ugly gamer girls who can't get dates from anywhere but the internet.
Many of you guys (and girls) are probably begging for an explanation. Who could be turned on by a Geek, and why? Not to insult all you jocks out there (did you know a jock can be a geek too?) but Geeks in all their glory are not just shy meek individuals, but they are extremely sensitive and romantic. Now I'm not going to deny the fact that some gamers / techies are a$$holes and should be avoided like the plague, but some atoms are short a few protons if you know what I mean. But to be honest, a man who reaches that level 80 shows perserverance and great problem solving skills, and cheesy science pick up lines require more thought and are quite a bit more respectful than what I usually hear in a bar.
Some girls are just genuinely attracted to those intelligent wonders from the get go, but others it's formed. For me, I always got a little warm when I saw a thin guy typing a mile-a-minute. But when you combine the fact that all the macho athletic tanned and technologically deprived guys I tried either beat me up or couldn't hold a conversation its no wonder that I love the Rick Moranis type. Speaking of Rick, did you ever notice the roles he played? The caring father, the romantic, the just plain adorkable. Every girl wants a guy like that. Some girls fall for the body-builders who can keep them safe. Some girls fall for the bad boy hoping to tame the beast. Then there's the girls like me, who would rather have their man come programmed for love.
And while Geeks sometimes get a bad wrap, I'll let you in on a secret - while we may be the less experianced in the bedroom, you can bet we're likly to be the best because, as in all other aspects of our lives, we study the science of sex extencively. And while that may seem a bit creepy to think about, knowlege of the anatomy and physics leads to some crazy kinky mind blowing sex.
So before you sell yourself short or think your dreams of playing Call of Duty with your fiancee are hopeless, think again - the perfect girl might be out there, hiding in your local Best Buy.
Note: While I usually do not approve of stereotypes, I felt that the use of such labels was necessary for the purpose of the article.

aw dang youre new in xanga and already got featured.
youre my hero
and thats pretty hard to admit to other women
just pretend it didnt happen.... xD
Sorry I've been too busy going to parties and getting laid to understand your Starwarcraft level 80 paladinwalker mumbo jumbo you had going there.
haha... how i wish there were more girls like you in the world. I'm a geek of all trades. starwars, games, comics, movies, mac... therefore, if i meet a girl, all of a sudden i start geeking out about one or all topics and suddenly, I become more of a tech support friend than a boyfriend. it's lame sauce.
@Gosalyn223@xanga - Thank you! I really appreciated your kind words and don't worry it will be our secret.
@Snoogans925@xanga - I"m terribly sorry to hear that. I know I've run into that a few times myself. The second I start talking about Star Wars, X-files, Bioshock, Computers, or various chemicals I get a tunes out by a majority of people. But I can tell you this, be proud of your inner geek. I can't tell you how many times someone rolled their eyes at my ghostbusters shirt, but I can tell you how many eyes lit up and how many people started talking to me a mile a minute because they had found one of their kind. Its those people, albeit few and far between, that will give you the conversations to last a lifetime, and the strength to hold your atari high and proclaim "The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth!"
I'm a geek and now I'm proud to say this thanks to you. :D
I'M A GEEK LOVER! I originally started hanging out with my geek because I was treated like an equal. He did not separate me from "guy time", he included me, even when I was more of an asset to the other team with my remarkable skill of dying in Halo. (I have since improved.) And, he suceeded in turning me into a gamer. (It wasn't very hard.)
Ironically, my geek does not like science, which is my strongest geek quality. Comic Cons, Star Wars, LOTR, writing, Firefly, swords, X-box (he has recently become a gamer-score whore), but no science. It's cool though.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know, I love this post. And, I don't know about all geeks, but mine is good in bed.
That is so true.
You seem to have hit that nail on the head. That is a great post and thanks for it.
