If you cant access it.. Bolded parts are the original statement, nonbolded is the guys comments.

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.

Nerds are idealistic in general. This is because they are always indulging in fantasy worlds, where osananajimis, childhood promises and other sweet anime cliches prevail. This means their standards are generally in sync with the sincere and selfless fictional characters of say Honey and Clover, Love Hina etc.

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.

This is very true. In fact, as I’m writing this, the wife complains that "my IE just crashed. I lost all my pictures. I can’t use firefox cos when it saves pictures, there’s a 30 second hang." To which the reply is, "Check your downloads tab and click the cleanup button." If it was a normal guy, the answer would probably be, "UH? Farriire fux? Is that some animal?"

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.

In this day and age, where capitalistic romance is the norm and romanticism is measured in dollars, we splendid nerds are always creative and unique in our expressions of romance. For example, we may print a 150 cm body pillow of the wife and hug it to sleep.

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.

This is very true. Nerds come in all shapes and sizes and generally, all are available for selection.

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

Nerds actually know more about safe sex, sexually transmitted diseases, the menstrual cycle and its driving hormones, than most people. Even girls. Then there are regular folks who write in to magazines asking if "his girlfriend will get pregnant if she drinks his sperm".

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.

And all the hentai and anime we watch gives us lots of ideas.

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.

Again, it’s all the Japanese AV and hentai.

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?

I loled at this point. When was the last time us nerds visited a restaurant? As Madarame says, "eating is a luxury." We are thrifty creatures when it comes to living expenses.

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…”

I have never clubbed before in my life. Only the occasional (annual) pub visit for football viewing. Most nerds are also homely, we’ll much prefer staying at home than going out especially to crowded places. You know the nerd mentality is all about picking one girl, just look at all eroge. There may be a harem but there’s always only one girl per route. And for School Days, if you don’t make up your mind, they kill you. So yeah, loyalty is the nerd way.

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.

As stated, nerds like to stay at home. We also don’t get lonely at all because we’ve been alone for most of our lives in a room. So girls don’t get any of this stickiness and possessiveness that some other guys have. And yeah, other guys find cosplayers weird. We find them very very hot.

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 ass 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).

This is sooo true. :D .

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.

Nerds don’t dress up. And they can’t really tell what is fashion. Anything looks perfectly fine. In fact, rags are MOE. Skirts and leggings are MOE. Gothic is MOE. Casual is MOE. Swimsuit is MOE. School Uniform is MOE.

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…

If you look at #animeblogger channel, which is full of geeks, you’ll notice that half have degrees while the other half are in college. Then if you look at #teens or something, 90% of the people there are dropouts doing odd jobs.

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…

We don’t ever type like, "y00 h0u r u 2daE, mi feeLZZ veri siAnzzz lehx." It’s disgraceful. And most of us don’t drink, smoke or indulge in other vices. Besides masturbation.

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 ass!!!” Believe me.

This is because of scarcity. Nerds have it hard when it comes to getting girlfriends so they treasure them a lot more. It’s like how affluent people can’t finish their food and toss them away but the starving in Africa will lick every grain up.

So girls, what are you waiting for? Get a nerdy boyfriend now!

[finale23]

ofn, but rate up because all the points are valid and true. no sympathy for biatches who still date their abusive bf while simultaneously complaining about them.

[Devek]

The reason geeks make bad boyfriends is because girls want something they can't have.

This post is filled with truth. (even for the gay bois)

They already KNOW this.

Do you think girls really care about any of that shit?

People are not stupid. Most girls want to be cheated on, beat, neglected, and overall treated like shit because it makes them feel better about themselves in a fucked up sort of way.

You go up to your average girl and say, "I don't do drugs or drink, I have a job, and I won't cheat on you or treat you bad!" and to them that is the equivalent of a a girl going up to a guy and saying "I weigh 500 pounds, I don't believe in sex, I have herpes, and I listen to Madonna 24/7 as loud as possible!"

In other words, none of this stuff is "attractive".

Wait.....wut?

[Exoduso]

He is very very correct.

[Bartylby]

nurture > nature

Theres a happy medium.

Nerds, only shave every few days, wear a leather jacket, and call her baby once in a while. Bad boy desires fulfilled.

Ladder theory :D

Anywho not sure if it applies to nerd girls as well though but girls definetly like not having enough attention so they can complain about it, otherwise your way too clingy and the relationship is kaput.

edit: thanks for deleting my double post :D
and also most nerds arent easy on the eyes and i know looks is pretty high on my list

[Saphirea]

I've never seen this, I thought it was good

Wait.....wut?

By not stupid I mean.. girls are not going out looking for the answer to some huge problem they are having. It isn't like you are going to point it out and they are going to be like, "oh wow! there were decent guys all around I could of been with!". They already know exactly what those guys would be like and they don't care for it or want it one bit.

You won't go out and buy a CD you don't want.. but have you ever bought a CD that you knew you wouldn't like just you could tell all your friends how much it sucked? I remember buying a lincoln park CD just so I could bitch about paying $30 for a CD with 27 min of music on it.

Kind of the same deal.

Reminds me of that one episode of family guy, where Stewie tries to hook up w/ Olivia lol

[Lordwafik]

I hardly think this is aimed at your age group Devek. This sounds like something for a early 30s late 20s target, the time when alot of girls really want to settle down and cut the bad boy bullshit.

My sister for example, she really wanted a bad boy, got her bad boy, caused nothing but problems the whole time, finally married a good guy who fits in a few categories of this article, doesn't regret it at all now that she's older. In fact, she's more thankful of it, since if she did follow and stay with her bad boy she'd have 5 kids and on welfare.

Different strokes for different folks. If I meet a girl who wants nothing but a bad boy, i'll tell her to go fuck herself and come back to me when she wants to see a real person.
I met a few of these girls in my college days. First one ended up fucking the teacher AND the macho guy of our class on the same night (college party + alcohol), and class was VERY AKWARD for the rest of the semester (final semester too), she ended up ruining it for everyone too since the teacher never wanted to really teach us in the same class as her, so we were thrown substitutes. The other girl who wanted a bad dude slept with the macho guy, and is now dating a girl with a moustache, so she's lesbian or something. Anyway, there was a third girl who didn't wanna partake into any of that shit, and where is she now? She has a great job, did another course in college, and I've kept in contact with her for a long time (I liked her in college but she wants a latino since she is too).

Try looking for girls with more self esteem (case 3) and they won't want a bad dude, they'll just want a real guy.

The top article is stupid too, has some valid points, but lol @ the excessive mountain dew and code references, hi2u cliche.

[Lbelle]

I read this entire thing, and had a thoughtful smile on my face the whole time. I'd love to have a nerd/geek boyfriend. But he fails to mention in this little article that they're hard as FUCK to actually find.

I mean, think about it. Say you're me (oh the horror, I know, but just bear with me a few seconds), a nerdy girl. So, I spend most of my time on the computer or watching TV and don't go out all that often to parties and stuff like that because I am said nerdy girl.

Well, the nerdy guys are also at home most of the time online...How are we supposed to meet?? The only thing I can think of is like Myspace or Facebook.

I'm not saying this is like a strike against nerdy guys or anything, I'm just pointing out that there are girls out there, specifically me, that want a boyfriend that is just as nerdy as me, but since we're not always willing to actually go out and find one, we probably never will.

That doesn't mean I like to get cheated on, or beat, or whatever was said earlier. It just means what it means.

Don't forget a playful swat on the ass every now and then.
