Quote: "The point is, being a geek is not a turn on. It's okay if you've got other things going for you, like looks, personality, athleticism. Better if you have all going for you. The worst thing a geek can do is talk about it and pretend that girls find it attractive. Then you've turned into a big lonely nerd. All you can do is give your nerdy girl advice to other lonely nerds. Kind of like what people are trying to do here. The problem though is that not all of us are lonely nerds, so it falls on deaf ears."
All depends on the girl, my friend. The first one to understand girls has yet to be born, so instead of pretending to do so and generalize them. My girlfriend is in no way a gamer, she dislikes every minute I spend behind a computer, but she loves the things I do on the computers and probably that's what got her interested in me. Some girls like it, the 'hot, arrogant and stupid' ones probably not.
Quote: "True. But if you're ugly then you won't get any girls either."
Who decides what boy is ugly? Individual girls do. Okay, they've got this 'herd' attitude but if you're ugly, and I mean really, commonly accepted ugly, there'll always be someone who'll look past it.
Quote: "Okay, seriously guys. Women are not attracted to people because they are good with computers. It doesn't hurt if you're not a nerd about it. Nerds talk about computers when they're not using them. I NEVER talk about computers when I'm away from one. Nobody cares to hear about it. I'm good with computers, and I'll fix people's computers, and I make games, but if I talked about it I wouldn't be that much fun to be around."
Oh, I talk about them when I'm away from one. People do seem to care. I'm most basically the question marker on the school and I've made quite some friends showing off tricks, knowing where to spend $60 on, fixing computers and stuff. Connections, too, can get you girls.
Quote: "Being good with computers has never attracted a pretty girl in the history of forever. Now, I've been with girls who were attracted to me first, then learned that I was smart about various things, and liked me more for it. I've had another girl ask me to fix her computer to get me to come over, but I didn't do much computer work at all. I had another girl that called me 'her sexy webmaster' sometimes, but the relationship was not at all about computers. Computers are boring."
I don't like you calling my girlfriend not pretty. The relationship isn't about computers, but my work on the damn thing sure keeps us closer through blogs I set up, things I make her, putting her name in a game. Just examples. Maybe computers won't do it, but use your mind. Be creative - it's as with programming a bit. If something doesn't work, change the approach. Be creative and use your strengths in your advantage.
You know what won't get you a girl? That attitude - most girls don't want to hear you're not worthy of them (at least, not seriously). Use your 'weakness' to your advantage. It's one of those basic tricks in life.
