Slashdot Mirror
Where Does a Geek Find a Social Life?
JustShootMe writes "I have a question for my fellow Slashdotters, and yes, I realize I am entering the lion's den covered in tasty meat-flavored sauce. I have never been a very social person, preferring to throw myself into technology; therefore, I've been spectacularly unsuccessful in developing any meaningful interpersonal relationships. Lately I have begun to feel that this situation is not tenable, and I would like to fix it. But I really don't know how and haven't the faintest idea where to start. I know that I am in the minority and that there are many different kinds of Slashdot readers, most of whom have more experience in this realm than I do. So please tell me: how, and more importantly, where do you meet fellow geeks — preferably including some of the opposite gender — in meatspace?"
just man up and stop being a pussy. Stop wearing shitty clothes, take a shower, wear deodorant. It's really not that hard.

I completely missed the point of your post.
Unfortunately, I don't know if that says something about you... or me.
Mod me down, my New Earth Global Warmingist friends!
You still sound like either a serial killer or a chronic masturbator.
Or both.
Security is mostly a superstition... Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. - Helen Keller
I'd rather have him meet one of my more violent female friends...
Who'd want to meet a person that goes to church?
Damn it - we science geeks have standards!
This is blinging
How appropriate that you use a quote from the same era you apparently get your monolithic view of women from.
