Nerds Make Better Lovers
ultimabaka writes "The New York Daily News, fine bastion of reporting that it is, released an article today discussing the rise of nerd popularity among women in general, and famous women in particular. Detail is given into the dating exploits of Christina Aguilera and Elin Nordegren (nerdy Tiger Woods' supermodel squeeze), among a bunch of regular Janes. Apparently being a nerd is now in?"
Of course we're better lovers.. it's because (among other things):
:-D
- we don't sleep around
- we're generally good at the things we try
- we can concentrate, dammit!
- we have *excellent* finger dexterity
- and most importantly, we have imagination!

Game... blouses.
_rich_ nerds make better "lovers"
Kiss me, I'm a nerd.
Sure, they figure it out now that I'm married and totally committed, but noooooo, 15 years ago when I was 18 and single no one figured it out.
It sucks to be a trailblazer sometimes. You young nerds got it easy. Back in my day a cute girlfriend was GIF pr0n & a bottle of lotion.
As a rock-in-roll Physicist once said, No matter where you go, there you are.
After years of hiding my computer literacy, learning to be sensistive, eye surgery to remove the glasses and working out six days a week I learn that I should have perfected my C++ programming instead to get the babes!!!
So long and thanks for all the fish . . . !!!
Only a geek knows how to fsck well.

Saw him in the evening and he was acting really strangely. I went shopping in the afternoon with the girls and I did turn up a bit late so thought it might be that. The bar was really crowded and loud so I suggested we go somewhere quieter to talk. He was still very subdued and distracted so I suggested we go somewhere nice to eat. All through dinner he just didn't seem himself; he hardly laughed and didn't seem to be paying any attention to me or to what I was saying. I just knew that something was wrong. He dropped me back home and I wondered if he was going to come in; he hesitated but followed. I asked him again if there was something the matter but he just half shook his head and turned the television on. After about 10 minutes of Silence, I said I was going upstairs to bed. I put my arms around him and told him that I loved him deeply. He just gave a sigh and a sad sort of smile. He didn't follow me up but later he did, and I was surprised when we made love. He still seemed distant and a bit cold, and I started to think that he was going to leave me and that he had found someone else. I cried myself to sleep.

Apple switched to Intel.
Absolutely gutted.
Got a shag though.

Apparently being a nerd is now in?
Let me check my messages.....

Her: Make love to me! Him: Sorry I gotta configure my kernel and then recompile it with -O3. Her: Baby you drive me wild. *jumps on him*
You idiot, it's UNIX, not Eunuchs!
I will say what you did took some, er.... Nevermind.

Louis: Jocks only think about sports, nerds only think about sex.
meh! You had it easy! We had ASCII art & a bag of sawdust!
You sir, are either a sham or an impostor.
Thus, we can conclude that IT security at the New York Daily News is lax and some "nerd" has figured out a way to post prank stories. Expect a deluge of stories about the Duke Nukem Forever release party.
"Prepare for the worst - hope for the best."
You obviously never heard that Tiger Woods finished nethack at 9 under par...
Do what I did, emulate a scumbag.
We are certain to have the biggest hard drives, and the longest uptime.

Star Wars movie openings and Trek conventions would be known as hot singles nights.
Dressing up for movie oenings (LotR, SW, ST) would be considered "men in uniform" and be totally irresistable... unless you're Chewbacca.
Hard drive size WOULD matter, not how fragmentented it is.
I would be getting laid.
Slashdot's rate-of-post filter: Preventing you from posting too many great ideas at once.
So after all of those bastards get through with the young hot chicks, us nerds get the old washed up hags looking for stablity because they can no longer shake their ass for young bad boys.
No fucking thanks.
As others have pointed out, golf is not a sport.
Golf is a game. Tennis is a sport.
To qualify as a sport, you must sweat.
Golf is a scottish practical joke played on the rest of the world, kind of like snipe hunting or curling. It began when the Romans, after conquering Scotland, asked "so, what do you guys do for fun around here?"
Man, you've got balls.
All of the above is true. I should know because i meet none of those requirements and i'm a lonely loser.

Such is life... the ever fleeting depression
I'll never have confidence, I have no idea what a balanced life is.... And here I am whining about it.
Not a girl around me, and none who care to be around me.
Oh well. Truth hurts but its true atleast
Those are pertinent observations. But "nerds" and "nerds" with mental / behavioural problems is not the same thing! Unfortunately, I would classify myself as the latter type, altough in recovery. A radical overhaul of my life started after some personal problems that seriously affected my performance at work. I am almost the old lovable "nerd" that I was, and in the process I have landed a nice job, and a hot girlfriend. Having found the balance between work and family/personal life did wonders for me. She knows zilch about technology and computers, but likes to have somebody around that can fix stuff and explain her the wonders of the computer world. Nevertheless, I think she values more the long-term relationship and commitment than the 3:24 of pleasure with the pool boy or the drummer...

PS I think the article is total BS, it would only be credible if Carmen Electra would elope to Vegas with RMS and webcast the wedding from inside the Elvis chappel
I'm extraordinarily attractive, and a genius to boot. The great thing is, I'm not the least bit cocky about it. Women love that.

"There's only one actor I know of who's a bonafide nerd, and I can't remember his name right now (but he does have a rather clever nickname, I recall)."
...
Come on, now! This suspense is *crushing* us! Hurry up and remember, or we'll all have to Trek to your house and make you tell us! Ick, I hope you don't live in a wheat field, I'm alergic to it!
Ok, I'm done.
oh yeah, and if you're a girl who is going to cheat on a nerd, you're going to get caught. Especially if you use any form of electronic communication in your filandering, duh. Honestly though, if you marry someone with incredibly strong analytical skills and you try to sneak things by them they will quietly figure it out. So if you're going to be a cheating bitch, perhaps you should marry some asshole player or just hang out at the clubs, get wasted and rub up against the other amazingly successful cooks and drunks out there. Do I sound bitter? Hope all is well in Tucson Sandra! Bitch.
Back in my day a cute girlfriend was GIF pr0n & a bottle of lotion.
I'm dating your' ex!
Talk nerdy to me.

Relationship failed.
10. Now that Half Life 2 is out, I need to refocus my priorities.
9. You have been unsubscribed from my dating list. Please click this link to confirm.
8. I need a lover who understands that 20 hours a day on the Internet is normal.
7. I don't think we should date any more, but we can still be on each other's buddy lists.
6. I'd like a true beauty so I don't have to spend so much time photoshopping your ugly face out of our photos.
5. It's like in X-Men number 135, where Cyclops and Jean Grey (as The Phoenix)...
4. Let's face it. You love Intel, and I'm an AMD man. It's not going to work out.
3. What do you mean your EULA says that once I've removed the shrink wrap I can't return it?
2. After you e-mailed me your full-body shot, I realized I was looking
for someone more feminine
1. So long and thanks for all the fish.
An artist, lawyer and programmer are sitting at a pub, having a few drink and soon the conversation turns towards cheating on their wives.
:)
The lawyer pipes up. "Don't do it guys, I don't care how pretty she is. I see this every day in my profession, some fool cheats on his wife with some pretty little thing, she finds out, before you know it he's lost half his house, half his assets, half his future paycheck and can't even see his kids any more...And with all that stress, it's just not worth it."
Then the artist pipes in. "no no no no...life is for living...how can you live in fear like that. Imagine the romance...the passion...the secrecy and mystery. That is what life is about my friend, who cares if you get caught, life should be lived dangerously and passionately."
The programmer looks up over his glasses and says "yeah, I've got mistress...have had one for quite a few years now".
The lawyer and artist are shocked. The certainly wouldn't have expected that from thier geeky little friend. The artist pipes up:
"Oh my friend...tell us, what's it like. Are you always stressed out worried about what you could loose...is it passionate and wonderful...what?"
The programmer looks up again and say "It's great...best thing I've every done.........wife thinks I'm with the girlfriend, girlfriend thinks I'm with the wife, I can go get some coding done."
boom tish
You mean my mom was right when she said they would like me when I was older? Damn....
In undeveloped countries, the consumer controls the market. In capitalist America, the market controls you.
Wait...
you're female...
you're trying to piss off the religious right...
you want quirky guys...
you're posting on slashdot...
So, how many marriage proposals have you gotten so far? My bet's on 14.
Legalize prostitution and the problem is solved.
Reaction time is a factor in this, so please pay attention. Answer as quickly as you can.
In a magazine you come across a full-page photo of a nude girl. You show the picture to your husband. He likes it and hangs it on the wall. The girl is lying on a bearskin rug.
How do you react?
Ever notice how shortly after women got the vote, prostitution was made illegal most places?
