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.

Bad enough it's Valentine's day

[ackthpt]

It's bad enough that it's Valentine's day, but why torment me by reminding me I haven't got a date, I ain't likely to get a date and I'm most likely to just go home tonight, eat a bowl of porridge and have those damn spirits visit me again...

oh, wait, that's the other holiday.

Re:Bad enough it's Valentine's day

[ackthpt]

Dont feel bad. If you are lonely you can just build one of these

Toys have been the answer, to counter loneliness, and man, I've got a _lot_ of toys. It's just these days (valentines, sweetest, Christmas) come along and put me into a funk. I'll be back to the usual with my toys in a couple days.

Just don't try to get it drunk and make out with it.

Unfortunately, I can't have alcohol for a few months yet, must .. cope .. without.

Geek Guide to Dating

[WinDoze]

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.

There's always hope!

Re:remembering names

[MBCook]

This is IMPORTANT . I had lunch with a nice girl nearly daily for about 6 months before she realized I didn't know what her name was. It took at least a month or two to get her to talk to me again.

REMEMBER THEIR NAME.

I have BETTER things to do

[GooseKirk]

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?

if you meet a nice girl

[obi1one]

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'?

Mathematical Advice for 2/14

[JWhitlock]

Some have suggested that the formula for Valentine's Day gifts is:

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.

Re:Question

[Tackhead]

1.Flowers at the beginning.
2.Dinner & drinks
3.Entertainment (club, movie)
4.Foreplay
5.Sex
