Re:why geek chicks? (Score 1)

I'm pretty big on dating geek girls only, and this is why. Most of my conversations with non-nerds go like this.

Girl - So what's your major?

Me- Electrical Engineering

Girl - Oh, that sounds hard.

Me - Yeah, but I've been been into electronics since I was 12 and started tinkering with stuff in my dad's garage. I love it! So, what about you? What's your major?

Girl [sheepishly] - English

Me [trying to hide my disapointment] - Oh, so why did you choose that?

Girl - I don't know. My parents made me go to college, English seemed easy.

Me - Well, what kind of career do you want?

Girl - I don't know. All my friends are going into teaching so maybe I'll do that.

Me - Well, what are your goals?

Girl - [shrugs]

Me - What do you want out of life?

Girl - I never really thought about it.

At this point I it takes all of my willpower to not explode into saying "How can you not think about your life?!? Do you use your brain for anything besides keeping your ears spaced apart, you mindless piece of fluff!?!?!?"

Really this is how I divide the world into nerd/non-nerd, nerds are the people who aren't brainless sheep like the girl above. This doesn't always correspond to the stereotypical glasses wearing, computer-loving, no social life, Star Trek fan; but most of the time it is spookily acurate. And when I do run into un-nerdy people who have a brain, I consider them to be nerds anyway (just ones who don't fit in well with the rest of us geeks).
