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.
Google and review sites are ll that I need to direct me towards my true love...

Banaaaana!

Get yourself a subscription to The Spice Channel and a 12 pack. It's about as close as you need to get. I know what I'm talking about here, I'm married and it's Valentine's Day and I'm going to go broke before the day is over.
... so I can weed out the unattractive women that will soon start calling me.
Watch him carefully, and do the exact opposite.
That means: Never ever EVER say, "Nice LAAAYdeeee, oh! with the pushing, and the shoving, I can't help but notice your eyes, nice EYYYYeeees, are glowing like the blinkenlights on my fileserver, in the mother's basement, LAAAAYdeeee...oh MY!"
Screw Valentine's Day. Get back at your ex :(

Being a geek, I'm sure you know how hard it is to remember peoples names, with your head stuffed full of all that stuff you have to remeber for work.
It can be a bit embarising, if, after going out for a couple of weeks you still forget you girls name.
So, my tips is; always date girls with the same name. (this is also handy if your seeing more than one at once).
thank God the internet isn't a human right.
Maybe it was Slashdotted by all the girls out there trying to figure out how to snag that geek in their life ...

Back to dreaming
They got web pages for this stuff now? Whatever happened to `man getagirl`
Nice load average. Wanna fsck?

Yeah, like a girl's guide to geek guys is going to get slashdotted.
but try being born on this lovely holiday. Every year I hear the same thing, "Oh wow, you are so lucky to be born on such a romantic holiday." Uhh, right.
I thought it was "Scream and I'll kill you"...
And for those of you who are absolutely hopeless, well, there is always Coincidence Designs...
I've already gotten 12 emails from gals today who want to meet me at their website and make hot love to me! I don't need any guides to dating...I'm a chic magnet!

DOS girls are what we all need. Cheap, not too flashy, and do what you need them to do quickly.
Linux girls take some getting used to, and don't do some of the flashier things, but are dependable for what they do.
Windows girls do all the new flashy things and games, but like the parent said, they are likely to be carrying a few viruses
Bah, humbug. You lot can go on with your foolish optimism, your hopeful enthusiasm, and your boundless love... I have BETTER things to do this Valentine's Day! Like:
- Trying not to weep openly in public
- Trying not to think about all the great sex my ex-girlfriends must be having right now
- Stockpiling cheap hooch, 'cause once you get started, it can be tough to find the booze store when you need more
- Finding a comfortable, out-of-the-way gutter
- Maybe looking into that heroin addiction idea I've been kicking around
- Harshly silencing those dopey "friends" who always want to "help," as if I have some kind of "problem"
- Pondering a little private self-love, if you know what I mean, but realizing my self-loathing will just shoot me down, anyway
Yes, that's the glorious Valentine's Day I've got planned so far... anyone else have ideas?
So if i meet a nice girl, and Im a little shy i leave her flowers with a note. but do i sign the note 'your secret admirer' or 'an anonymous coward'?
A guy at work calls Valentine's Day "National Singles-Awareness Day" I thought it was pretty damn funny.
My girlfriend had a crush on Optimus Prime when she was young.
Seriously.
R = P / M
where R is the romantic level, P is price, and M is mass. This seems to work in some cases: when flowers are the same mass, the ones that cost more are more romantic. Ditto for wine. Diamonds are light and pricey, and thus even more romantic than flowers. However, RAM, no matter what the bus speed, has not been found to be romantic. This has led some to propose the formula:
R = P / (M * U)
where U is utility - thus, the more useful it is, the less romantic it is. Mathemeticians are still applying this formula in the field, looking for counter-examples and debating the consequences.
