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?"
I hear that 4chan is a great place to hook up. they even have official hook up threads pretty often. And if you can't hook up, you can just swing by the other boards to satisfy your "needs".
It's so fucking simple. I'll tell a story to illustrate. Years ago, I used to hang out with my former step-brother and his friends. They were/are all legally blind. All socially paralyzed. As they would put it, some were 'print-readers' some weren't. Anyway, I am forever 'scoring chicks' in their book, I was nick-named 'anchor-steen' for some reason. Probably because they weren't 'print-readers' lol. I never enjoyed Anchor Steam beer anyhow. So one day they ask me, 'how do you pick up so many 'chicks''? I tell them it's just like baseball - if you want to hit a home run, you've got to step up to the plate and swing your bat. You may strike out over and over but you are bound to hit the ball at some point. So then they are all for it. I take them out for a night - this was in Carbondale, IL at SIU - hard to fucking strike out but anyway... we walk in and they park themselves at a bar facing a wall....
JUST GET OUT THERE AND HANG YOUR DICK OUT YOU MORONS!!!!
just man up and stop being a pussy. Stop wearing shitty clothes, take a shower, wear deodorant. It's really not that hard.

become a furry.
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.

Seconded; community colleges are great places to score ass. Most of the chicks there are either overweight or not very bright, but so what? They're fucking EASY. Just be ready to lower your standards a little and you'll be sniffing panties in no time :)
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.
Your mama needs loving too.
