Some Geek Guides for Dating

An anonymous reader sends in this: "In honor of upcoming V-day, here are some geek guides for help in finding your geeky match: Guy's Guide to Geek Girls, Girl's Guide to Geek Guys, advice from a she-geek, Engineer Your Love Life and Bart's Dating Guide for Geeks. And for those of you who are absolutely hopeless, well, there is always Coincidence Designs... It's not too late, so good luck!" Another reader has some good news: "An article in Discover magazine reports on research done by scientists at the University of Toronto about how males attract mates. The cited article claims that when males are young, the show offs are actually the ones who are least likely to succeed later on. This causes a "revenge of the nerds effect:" the football players burn out but the nerds become sexy!" And if all else fails, you can try a Valentine's Day Form Letter.

    Usually I wouldn't post this. But hey, it's valentines day and, more importantly, Slashdot. So for that irc chix0r, be sure to get the gift that keeps giving, FU-FME.

    Are these people really so stupid as to think we have no idea how to communicate with other people? Women aren't this mysterious alien race (though I realize on slashdot, it may seem that way.) They're just other people, be nice to them and the rest will come. It's not rocket science (which I realize some of you here have mastered, so this shouldn't be hard at all! :P)
