With the exception of appealing to a potential silicon valley soon to be millionaire why would a woman desire to appeal to a geeks nature ?
I'm gonna get so killed for this, but one of the reason geeks are geeks is because there social ineptness allows for incredible amounts of free time to work on stuff like Linux ? or hacking my iPhone.
Sorry, but this nonsense about social ineptitude being related to technical interests is just that: inane, stupid babbling.
Many people have interests that distract most of their waking hours, but somehow it is only geeks that are singled out as socially inept.
Let me tell you something, musicians, specially in the classical tradition, will put more hours practising their instrument than any geek would reasonable spend in front of a computer, nevertheless their social and amorous life is as good as anybody's (or even better).
I could come with multiple examples of people that have "time sinks" in their life, strangely nobody stereotypes them as socially inept, so I have only to conclude that geeks are so stereotyped because they have being the most socially mobile, powerful group of people in the last 20 years or so, and thus people mock the successful.
I can take inane stereotypes from people working in other professions, after all they don't know any better, what I don't understand is geeks trying to explain a false stereotype to themselves.
why would a woman want to be a geek goddess ?? (Score:2)
