Your New Geek: Care and Feeding Guide
willfeCongratulations on your recent acquisition of your very own Geek! You will find this newest addition to your life will provide many years of satisfying companionship, very appealing amounts of income, and overall improved happiness. Best of all, your Geek requires very little maintenance. You have joined an elite group by adding Geek to your family!
Feeding
Your Geek likes very basic foodstuffs, and is generally not opposed to most types of food. Each Geek is unique, so be sure to just ask your Geek directly if you’re not sure, but most Geeks enjoy Italian foods1 (pizza, spaghetti, etc.), meats (hamburgers, steaks, etc.), snacks (chips, ice cream, etc.), fruits & vegetables, and ethnic foods. While your Geek will generally prefer to stick to a small subset of foods that he enjoys most, your Geek will likely eagerly try new foods you offer to him2. Many Geeks like sodas and “energy drinks,” though some do not and will generally only drink fruit juices, milk, water, and so on. Ask your Geek to make sure, but most any food you have will satisfy your Geek.
1I originally wrote “pastas” here; whoops. Good catch, Spacevis!
2Please do not abuse this Geek feature to poison your Geek.
Communication
Your Geek likes to feel “connected” to his environment and will often go to seemingly excessive efforts to be online as much as possible to remain in contact with friends and loved ones. Do not mistake this for “not paying attention” to the real environment — your Geek is very aware of his surroundings and of conversations taking place around him.
In public settings surrounded by new people, your Geek may be somewhat shy in approaching people to start (or participate in) conversations. Introducing your Geek around to people you know will help break the ice and make him more comfortable. However, if you are as new to the group as your Geek is, your Geek will enjoy diving head-first into the fray with you (Geeks love playing social games as long as they’re not alone in it).
Your Geek is fluent in his native language and can read, write, and type very quickly and effectively. “Fresh” Geeks may sometimes correct spelling or grammar mistakes by others at inappropriate moments, but Geeks quickly learn to avoid this and are content to keep that amusement to themselves.
Entertainment
Your Geek is a very self-guided, independent creature. You will generally never have to feel as though it’s “your job” to keep your Geek entertained — he will almost always have (or find) some way to entertain himself regardless of the situation he finds himself in.
Your Geek enjoys playing video games but is not owned or ruled by them. While you may find your Geek playing on his own, he will enjoy the experience more if you join him.
Your Geek does not generally enjoy reality shows, cookie-cutter sitcoms, American Idol, or other “generic” television, but will eagerly watch dramas, mysteries, science fiction, and animated shows and movies with you. Geeks do not like commercials — consider obtaining a TiVo or simply downloading television shows and movies for best screening results with your Geek.
Your Geek will generally like most every type of music, though a few genres will be favorites while there may be one or two genres that your Geek intensely dislikes (most commonly, these are country and rap). Your Geek has an innate distaste for “Top 40” pop rock, so this may cause some discomfort if you enjoy such music, but rest assured your Geek does not dislike you simply for enjoying music he does not.
Your Geek will do his best to avoid seeing a movie in a movie theater or buying a DVD or CD because Geeks do not like the MPAA and RIAA and feel it is wrong to pay these organizations for suing their own customers — many Geeks will still accept gifts of movies, music, or tickets graciously, however.
Romance
Your romantic relationship with your Geek will not be like any other relationship you have ever had — your Geek is completely satisfied (seriously) solely by being in your company. Your Geek will, at random, but frequent intervals, do “little things” to remind you that he is thinking of you. This may be something as simple as an e-mail, or as elaborate as drawing a hot bath, with scented oils, candlelight, and rose pedals afloat on the water. Your Geek will clearly communicate his feelings toward you on a regular basis unless extreme circumstances prevent normal communication. Your Geek’s feelings for you will remain unchanged even if he cannot communicate them to you.
Work
Your Geek will generally pursue a career in computing or another science-related field, but will always be happier in his work than an average worker — he will always be able to find work doing something he enjoys, and will always make good money doing so.
You will never worry about your Geek’s work causing trouble in your relationship; your happiness is more important to your Geek than his work (your Geek knows there will always be more work, and that you, in contrast, are irreplaceable), and will gladly stop what he’s doing whenever necessary to spend time with you or help you with a task you face.
Sex
Your Geek will pay close attention to your needs and desires in the bedroom, willing to spend as long as needed to satisfy you before even thinking about his own desires. Geeks are naturally skilled in this department and are very considerate. Your Geek will be attentive and caring with you, without exception.
Your Geek is fully compliant with the standard Priority Interrupt protocol2. This feature is available at all times in this revision of the Geek firmware.
2 The Priority Interrupt protocol permits you to immediately interrupt any activity your Geek is engaged in for an intimate and/or sexual encounter with him, regardless of the importance of the other activity.
Other Women
Your Geek is not interested in other women. He is only interested in you. This will prove quite frustrating to other women who are interested in your Geek (they are, after all, a much sought luxury) and initially, you may be alarmed when other women try, with increasing desperation, to attract your Geek’s attention. Geeks are polite and courteous by nature, are not eager to hurt feelings or cause social discomfort, and will generally “grin and bear it” when other women get “flirty,” but will not engage in flirting behavior themselves. Your Geek does not like to be touched by other women or be the subject of excessive flirting or teasing by other women, and will do everything he can to avoid such situations. If necessary, your Geek will even flatly tell an excessively “eager” woman to back off, and take further action as necessary to stop the unwanted advances.
Your Geek does not need (or even want) to visit strip clubs, with or without you. If you take your Geek to a strip club, he will look at the gyrating women as expected, and will tip according to the etiquette expected in the venue, but he will compare each woman he sees to you. This comparison will not be favorable to the dancing women — your Geek would much rather imagine (or, better yet, see) you dancing for him than see other women doing the same.
Remember, the following simple statements are always true, and govern the behavior of your Geek:
- You are wonderful and perfect for him.
- No other woman is you.
As such, when any woman approaches your Geek to make a proposition to him, his thought flow is thus:
- This woman wants to have sex with me. Is she [your name here]?
- If yes, have sex with her as soon as possible.
- If no, politely decline.
Personal Conflict
Your Geek strives to avoid conflict whenever possible, and is not designed for hand-to-hand combat. In a physical fight, your Geek may be able to hold his own for awhile, but is unlikely to win any protracted fight against a comparable (or superior) foe. Your Geek knows this, and knows many ways to avoid a physical confrontation.
Your Geek has an intensely strong sense of justice and fairness, and will fight (even against seemingly insurmountable odds) for a cause he believes is right and true. If someone tries to scam or rip off your Geek, he is likely to spot the deceit, avoid it, and tell as many others as possible about it, even if that action leads to more trouble down the road.
Able to care for himself and willing to take up a cause no one else will, your Geek will always fight when appropriate and flee when necessary.
Note: your Geek will never call you early in the morning asking you to come to a jail to bail him out, will never be escorted home by law enforcement agents or cab drivers for having consumed too much liquor to drive safely, and will never appear on a Jerry Springer-style show.
Maintenance
Your Geek requires very little ongoing maintenance, as he is self-updating. When your Geek makes a mistake, he will analyze his actions and decisions to identify the source of the problem, and will adapt to avoid similar errors in the future. Your Geek strives to be as good as possible at everything he does, so even if you feel like things are “going perfectly,” he is still hard at work in his mind to find ways to make it better for you both.
Provide your Geek with ample reading materials and room to experiment, and encourage his creative energies. Stand back just enough to give him room, but stay close enough to celebrate when he comes up with something cool. Because he does this often, you will have many opportunities to practice.
Toys
Despite public opinion to the contrary, your Geek requires very few toys to be satisfied and suitably entertained. When your Geek’s computer suffers a hardware failure, he will be much more satisfied buying the parts needed to repair it (and performing the repair himself) than if you simply replace the computer. This provides significant cost savings and gives your Geek something new to experiment with (conducting the repair). Permitting your Geek to exercise his skills regularly will keep him happy and talented.
Okay, yeah, it’s been done. But I just did it better 
A fail-safe circuit will destroy others.

Im 33 and this kind of jokes
Im 33 and this kind of jokes have been around for a long time, at first I smiled and reckoned myself in the descriptions, but as I get old, I feel we are losing something and Im getting apart of that more and more. I have been always a geek myself but I feel this urban tribe stuff some of “us” are pushing as in “we all have this in common, we do this better than others, we are more loyal that younameit” is a lack of acceptance for what one is.
The “values” you are making implicit like loyalty, monogamy, sex prowess, physical prowess are those of a society Im not really interested to be included in, and this seems a rather desperate intent to fit or market the geek as good as those values.
The “geeks” I do profess admiration like Turing, Copernicus, Darwin, and a long list of ppl were called freaks and dispised by their societys sometimes because they had a more individual spirit than the cookie cutter geek you are depicting here, and for that I respect and admire them, not because they were monogamous, polygamous, played D&D, and other activities I can enjoy myself but DO NOT define who I am.
This competition some so called “geeks” are writing about lately, like “we are better lover”, “I can kick a football players ass with my D20 tshirt put on”, is selfdestroying what I consider the most important quality of a geek. Being a *freethinker* and not judging ppl (and myself!!!) by the values imposed by our/your society but by the values I have myself.
Questions for everyone:
What about being perfect for your partner/lover because you are what you are instead because you are short lashed and wouldnt look other women?.
What about being less analytical with your own actions and not measuring all with “to be as good as possible at everything I do” and accepting yourself?
Why do you want to be judged by the same old values and striving at those instead pursuing your own goals?.
Is really lack of sex so big problem? Is really being a sexual vulcano so good? why geeks write abouts have always a big part about sex?
And overall, why do you look for reckoning of those around you, and why do you want to feel part of a group so desperately?
I have had a satisfiying sexual life for the last 13 years, but I know virgins of 40 and they are some of the most interesting persons I know. Some are feeble, some are strong, some play D&D, some dont, but those arent the things why I appreciate someone and I dont want to be remembered by those insignificant things.
Imagine your epitaph in those terms “Here lies and man who screwed thousands of womans some of them at once (or never felt anything for anyone else than the first girl they met), was black belt and could kick a football player ass while played D&D”, sounds rather pityful really.
Sorry for the rant, but I feel more freak and less geek everyday reading posts like yours, but specially reading the comments. (Hey, you asked for bad comments too
).
Good questions
You raise some interesting points here. While I want to preface my response by pointing out that this was posted as a tongue-in-cheek, humorous guide, I do want to tackle some of your questions/posits. Still, don’t take this crap so seriously, gang
I am not trying to make those values prominent or even important — part of the joke is that “geeks” are always assumed to be clueless, bumbling fools in bed because of inexperience, and the reality is that because of the qualities that makes a person a “geek” (attention to detail, curiosity, endless study to understand a process, etc.), that kind of person, no matter what their sexual preference (gender or count) and marital status (single, married, boffing everyone within reach, etc.) is likely to be better at it.
I think you mistook the comment that was made, especially the “kicking a football player’s ass” bit. Misunderstanding is, of course, the cause of many problems for “geeks,” whether they’re the “cookie cutter” variety I describe or the enlightened, transcendent breed you hail from. His point was that despite being a “geek,” he felt he was skilled enough physically (via lots of martial arts training) to pose a viable threat to a stereotypical jock (musclebound but with nary a sign of high-level brain function).
There’s no real competition — we whine (or not) about real and imagined inequalities, but we’re still here, still getting laid, and still succeeded.
Indeed. Suppose this were phrased another way: how about being perfect for your partner not because you’re “short leashed,” but because you genuinely aren’t interested in other women. I may be speaking only for myself in this (but I certainly hope not), but when I am in a satisfying relationship, I really do not look at other women sexually. For me, one is enough — trying to add more brings unneeded complication and doesn’t seem worth the bother to me. Given that I once participated in the “swinging” culture, I’m not ignorant of what it can offer, and it’s just not something I want.
I know you’re trying to advocate “hey, no two geeks are the same!” but it’s worth pointing out that by mocking “traditional” cultural notions (like monogamy) you’re pigeon-holing just as much as my original post did
Last I checked, many, many geeks do all they can to master the things they do. Another common thought is “if I’m not any good at this, why bother?”
“Just accept yourself” is trite, and still pretty tough to actually accomplish, whether it’s a geek trying it or not.
Who says we are, and who says that every old value is actually bad? Why can’t a person choose which values s/he cares about while sorting out and pursuing their goals? I sense a sort of “railing” against monogamy in the tone of your comment, so I’ll explain now that I consider monogamy to be something important to me. I haven’t got a problem with people who can (and do) pull off polyamory and polygamy, but I’m not one of them.
Being able to look a lover in the eyes and tell her “no other woman will do because you’re with me” is important to me. Knowing I’m not lying about that, and knowing she understands that and has one less thing to worry about because I feel that way is equally important.
For many of us, no. For many other people? Yup. It genuinely bothers a lot of people. We have mating instincts and biological urges driving us to procreate. Philosophical arguments aside, we are physically wired to seek out mates and reproduce. It is how we propagate the species.
Oh … yeah … it is. Sex is something most everyone can do. Doing it well gives all sorts of benefits:
They don’t. Go read the rest of this site. There’s a lot here, and I’ll be patient. I do write about sex occasionally, but many of my posts are completely devoid of any sex talk.
Truthfully, I don’t. One of the few things I learned in public education (at the high school level, anyway) was that the people around me were so utterly and completely meaningless and useless, they weren’t worth even the slightest effort.
On the other hand, we (human beings) cannot function adequately on our own. You may be dependent on another human being at some point to perform some task or repair some gadget, or you may decide you want some company. No matter how much you know how to do on your own, you’re going to need another human being for procreation.
Pretty sad, yes. Now who the hell is actually advocating this?
Sorry for making you feel freakish, but understand any time you stray too far off the “standard,” you’re going to stand out a little. The commentary has been outstanding on this one, though, and I appreciate your comments.
Thanks for this, I remember
Thanks for this, I remember the last version. Confirms everything I already knew about my gorgeous geek.
... cont.
Now that I think about it … little bit gutted. I’ve not dated a geek before and thought those were truly lovable things just related to him !
He’s gonna regret putting this on his blog now
and there was me all ready to accept it as a love letter *snigger*
Hah!
That’s just awesome
Don’t be too hard on him, though — those attributes don’t vanish just because they’re documented

everyone’s focused on the
everyone’s focused on the theoretical sexuality of a geek….
but nobody is standing up and saying anything about those of us who ARE designed for hand-to-hand combat. how many geeks do you know LOOOOVE martial arts movies? how many of those geeks persue that path? i know many geek martial artists, and i myself, while never formally trained, have to admit that i’m pretty good for a scrap.
between my girlfriend (a black belt), myself and a good friend of mine, we’re faily convinced that our D&D (yes… goddamn D&D) group could ruin your average football team’s day in hand-to-hand. it sounds lame, but it’s sadly true.
i pity the fool who give us crap about roleplaying…. lol
i know the intentions of this post were good, but i must admit that it has a bit of a narrow scope on geeks. not all of us are terrified of a fight. admittedly, we know it’s better to not get arrested, and some of us would even feel a little bad hurting someone even if they deserved it for some reason, and i think THAT’S what separates geek confrontation from others. we understand consequence. it doesn’t mean we won’t engage.
good article, though. at least amusing enough for me to chime in, eh?
That Would Be a Fantastic Encounter to Watch
Your point is well taken; as I’ve said previously, this thing is completely tongue-in-cheek. You’re right that not every geek fits this mold — we’re mold breakers for the most part anyway.
The specific annoyance I was addressing when I started writing this was that many women seem to brush off geeks without thinking about it very hard — they’re generally more faithful, good in bed, and better at more “esoteric” stuff than the average jock or other “competitor,” and it seemed like I needed to point that out. So yeah, I do focus a bit on the sex. I like sex
This is standard practice for me. Hehehe.
You’re also right that the reason we tend not to fight isn’t that we’re “cowards,” but that we’re smarter than that. Though I’d absolutely love to watch your D&D group thoroughly wreck some band of idiots who poke fun at gamers
I’ve played a few D&D games too (in my younger years) and I’m itching to run a Paranoia XP game or two if I could just find some victims, er, I mean, “players.” Quite normal people play these kinds of games, and it’s just stupid to make fun of people that do.
I appreciate the comments. Would you be interested in throwing in some more commentary (or even write up your own section) if I end up rewriting this thing?
ney
theres a new type of global geek, they dont refere themselfs as geeks, rather more than a contemporany geek.
LONG LIFE TO GEEKS

Geeky Love
I tend to be incredibly attracted to Geeks in general and I know for a fact they make wonderful boyfriends. Even in break-ups, it’s generally an amicable splitting of ways. I highly enjoyed this post, and think the nay-sayers should follow the other sheep off a cliff. Please do continue to fluff up the guide!
aaah pizza
my favourite pasta
no wait…
Hah!
Good catch! Fixed
Can’t tell I had pizza on my mind when I wrote that originally, can you? 
That actually described me
That actually described me fairly well, am I a geek?
LOL wat a funny post to
LOL wat a funny post to read, I agree with most of the facts given here but not all.
Accurate
This pegs me pretty much exactly.

The Sex section
You know, geeks are more prone to consensual and informed non-monogamy than most groups.
Sometimes
While this is sometimes true (polygamy and polyamory are options that can at least be discussed with a Geek without offending him) it’s pretty much always true that monogamy isn’t an offensive idea to him. Even if we’re “more prone” to it, we’re also not just looking to screw everything we see, and offer a far more secure and stable partnership to our mates.
Monogamy
I do find the monogamy aspect to be something to avoid, it should read more like this:
Other Women
Your Geek is interested in other women although he is mostly interested in you. This could prove quite frustrating when other women show interest in your Geek (they are, after all, a much sought luxury) and initially, you may be alarmed when other women try, with increasing desperation, to attract your Geek’s attention. Geeks are polite and courteous by nature, are not eager to hurt feelings or cause social discomfort, and will generally “grin and bear it” when other women get “flirty,”. Your Geek does likes to be touched by other women and being the subject of excessive flirting or teasing by other women, and will do everything he can attract such situations.
Your Geek needs to visit strip clubs, with or without you. If you take your Geek to a strip club, he will look at the gyrating women as expected, and will tip according to the etiquette expected in the venue, but he will compare each woman he sees to you. Your Geek would much rather imagine (or, better yet, see) you dancing for him with other women doing the same.
Remember, the following simple statements are always true, and govern the behavior of your Geek:
* You are wonderful and perfect for him.
* Other women are a necessary and fun stress relieving pastime.
As such, when any woman approaches your Geek to make a proposition to him, his thought flow is thus:
* This woman wants to have sex with me. Is she [your name here]?
o If yes, have sex with her as soon as possible.
o If no, have sex with her as soon as possible.
A side note...
No, that’s not a geek, that’s a tramp
a side note...
I agree thats a tramp. That has no place in a Geek’s world.
Let’s think about this for a moment…Geeks are Geeks. Most consider themselves lucky to have someone at all, therefore why would they mess up the chance to have a life long partner? They arent horn-balls!
Uh...
Must be a different breed of geek here.
That was a discomforting read for any Geek owner, and I hope you’re kidding. XD
I'm afraid i'm not kidding...
We do exist, I know hundreds of us, we basically get to the point where logic takes precedence and realise that monogamy is an ideal set out in the Bible, it’s not something that happens in the animal kingdom and hence isn’t relevant to logical society (even animals that mate for life will take other sexual partners in nature)… I guess the fact that my sex drive is always on overload probably helps.
In the 5 relationships I’ve had in 29 years only one has been monogamous (and that wasn’t the one I married).
Though I do not think there is anything wrong with monogamy It’s not something I can naturally do.
One Doesn't Speak For All
Monogamy isn’t always a “biblical” thing or “social compliance” thing (cool red herrings, though); it’s also a choice many agnostic people make (myself included). My sex drive is consistently on “overload” too, but this is not a problem that requires multiple partners to satisfy. The notion of multiple partners doesn’t actually offend me, it’s just a friggin’ waste of time. There’s a point where logic comes back from its sexy vacation and realizes that juggling multiple partners becomes far too much to keep track of, too much trouble to be worth, and completely counterproductive once it comes time to start a family.
You may well have geek-like qualities, but you’re certainly not the kind of person I had in mind while describing the “average” geek in this tongue-in-cheek guide. Boinking anything that’s willing makes you someone that flies in the face of the advice that the average geek will be faithful. Sounds like you wouldn’t be
Many geeks have enough trouble hanging on to one partner, at least at first. If you can manage a harem of them singlehandedly, more power to you.
Too True
We are all different in our own ways, personally I’m 29 and the idea of settling down and having a family is the last thing on my mind, I do miss the days of having my Harlem so to speak, I seem to find it more difficult to manage one girl than I do three (out of interest I’m currently in that one and only monogamous relationship and for me at least it was easier with more), you got me spot on under every other section but I’m still happy to be not the so average geek, lol
A good argument for more than one partner is that I find it easy to wear one out so it’s good to have a spare or two lol
In response to the “faithful” comment, I have always been faithful to all my partners, whenever engaging in consensual sexual situations all my partners have been informed and were in consensus that it was OK to do, on the flip side I have always been happy with my partners partners as well.
I guess I wasn’t as wild when I was younger but as I matured (I’m 29 now) I’ve become less vanilla and more likely to throw things in the face of mainstream society.
I’ve always had my own fan club, lol, although I am still shy and am very selective
Boxes of Tissues?
Hmmm…
Funny, yes, but if you’re actually wearing one out, maybe you’re doing it wrong 
There’s something to be said for being abel to keep a woman flying for a couple hours at a time.
All joking aside, though, do your partners feel okay with that treatment? “Well, I started with her, but she couldn’t finish me off, so you’re my second pick,” or “Well, you couldn’t get me off, so I’m going to roll over this way; don’t mind the noises!” I know you’re probably mostly kidding but this kinda makes them sound like commodities. Use up one, move on to the next. That’s kinda bad, isn’t it?
Of course, and this is what I’ve heard over and over from participants in this lifestyle. At first, that’s how it works. Then some subtle jealousy starts. There are people who firmly believe if you’re having sex and not having it with them, you’re not being faithful to them. They may say they’re comfortable with it, but those feelings are hard to get rid of if they’re present.
This entire arrangement breaks down the moment someone decides to try to retroactively revoke their “consent” or their “okay.” You can’t undo a sexual encounter; if a partner you care about suddenly decides it hurts her that you fooled around with someone else, even though she said you could, that hurt still remains.
Fair enough, but when someone’s painting in broad strokes, you can’t complain that your outlying case didn’t get adequate coverage
I’ve attracted a few in my time, too. A combination of shyness and bluntness does a good job keeping them at bay.
By ware one out I mean too
By ware one out I mean too much sex tends to make some partners sore after a good few sessions and then they need a break (usually longer than me lol)
Refer to the bottom post for more
I don’t agree with the
I don’t agree with the part about movies.
Fair enough
This one may well just stem from my own feelings on the subject. You’re right in that you’ll easily be able to find lots of Geeks willing to fight to the death (violating another part of this “guide” that says they’re usually non-violent) over which movie in a series (think Star Wars or The Matrix or The Lord of the Rings) is superior, or which television show is better.
Maybe I should write a “version two” of this thing
you should most definetly
you should most definetly write a version two as while this guide comes close, it isn’t all encompasing
I’m not one to generalise,
I’m not one to generalise, but this is VERY accurate.
Meh.
I’m tired of seeing all this trite crap over and over again about geeks. It’s on the same level of “Oh, women are whacky because they do this!” and “Men are nuts because they’re like this!” lists.
And no, you didn’t do it better.
Bleh.
Anani: I’m equally bored with commentary that doesn’t actually have anything to say apart from “well, gosh, this sure sucked.”
Any constructive criticism to offer, or was this just kind of a “drive-by?”
I get the feeling you don’t generally understand tongue-in-cheek humor, either.
Perhaps I might have pleased you with a shorter article that states the facts more concisely: we make loads of money, we’re faithful, we’re great in the sack, and we’re just awesome in general. Is that better?
Easier to say someone is or
Easier to say someone is or isn’t a geek than is or isn’t a woman/man if they don’t fit the profile. I’d say this is pretty accurate for myself and a few people i know, basically comes down to having respect for your partner and other people but only eyes for your own girl.
hmm...
This was sent to me by my geek, and every part was so scarily accurate, lol.
I want me one of these now..
I want me one of these now.. hm.. where could I find one..
Or...
Try a science fair (yea, been to State and Internationals; there is no place in the world with a higher concentration of geeks), Best Buys during Black Friday (seriously early on that morning), Second Life, WoW, or Comic-based gatherings, or my couch.
*pokes Willfe*
Ow! My organs!
There’s something seriously wrong with me, as I missed the blatantly obvious suggestion you offered up: any electronics shop on Black Friday, or really any shop that sells gadgets (even Wal-Mart if it’s video-game related) the day (or night) before some new gadget is being released.
And yeah, I’m Shannon’s resident geek — the rest of you go get ‘yer own
WHY NOT TRY ANY INTRO COURSE
WHY NOT TRY ANY INTRO COURSE IN CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS, ENGINEERING…WE ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE…SORRY I AM MARRIED AND THE JOKE OF THIS POST IS THAT IT PRETTY MUCH DESCRIBES ME….
some do
my girl knows first hand of how good a geek is in the bed, even if i didnt know that i was beforehand. and yes i know there are geeky girls, as she is one, and we have regular discussions about linux, IRC, how myspace sucks, and all of those other great geeky things. and its funny, this guide is soooo freakin true
If only Women knew what I knew
I don’t think enough women out there know how awesome geeks are as lovers.. This should be spread around so every girl could be as lucky as me!
I’m a geek myself, though, and that definantly helps me out a little..
Yes, thats right.. A female geek. It’s possible, guys.
Lol!
Yeah, what about us female geeks?
I am a female geek too. I can identify with most of what’s written about male geeks; but you know we are a little-understood and unappreciated group. We too like to play with gadgets and code.
Agreed
In my defense, I only understand (first-hand, anyway) the male side of this equation. Would you like to contribute any advice for a revised Care and Feeding Guide for Your New Geek — I anticipate it having more sections
Our shyness makes us hard to spot...
I appreciate the sentiment that this should be distributed widely. I hope my dinky little server can take it.
Methinks being shy really screws a lot of geeks here (and not the way they want to be screwed
). Girl geeks definitely exist too — my use of gender-specific pronouns was not intended to mean “this only applies to males,” sorry if that’s how it came across.
One point I wanted to make in writing this originally was that too many people (women in my case
) will cheerfully disregard or disqualify someone just because they’re “geeky.” It’s a very, very dumb choice to make, since giving a geek a shot can really pay off (for both).
And the fact that we don’t tend to have nearly as many lovers overall as the “average” guy (yeah, I’m back to generalizing for males only on this one, sorry
) means we pay a whole lot of attention to the ones we have. Geeks that are bad in bed are quite rare, and if they’re “proper” geeks (not posers) they can easily correct that issue with a bit of practice.
I'm usually hard to spot because...
I’m in some corner covered in girls, lol (or at least that’s what I’m told)
I bet...
I bet your mom says you’re special too, but that doesn’t make it true.
Just know that those who brag are compensating for something they lack. Women know that.
Enjoy the “itchy-scratchies” and oozing puss filled sores that are destined for you.
Hey, no fair, lol
I always had the same girls come back again and again and I’m always as safe as can be with regular check-ups, I may have a number of girls at once generally but they are the same girls each time
That's a little different
What you’re describing there is more of a polyamorous or polygamist situation, not just randomly boffing left and right. Whether it involves just two people (you and your lover) or a group, it’s still a relatively closed circle. You’re not just a pile of humans banging away for the fun of it; there’s consent involved, and hopefully you’ve all got something in common beyond physical compatibility proximity while nude
I’ve known people who are polyamorous, and sometimes it works; other times, it fails in a fantastic way. The trouble with a circle like this is that once it begins to fall apart, it wreaks havoc on a whole pile of lives, not just the two people involved in a more “traditional” relationship. You’d actually be surprised to learn I once dabbled in the swinging community, too. It takes massive emotional and energy investments to even try to make a polyamorous situation work. Jealousy, image issues, and selfishness all pull in different directions and what was friendly and sexy between a pile of friends one day becomes a nasty fight the next.
But back in your scene, though, how much like other species are you actually being? Are any kinds of birth control in use? Condoms? The pill? “Coitus Interruptus?” None of these are “natural,” strictly speaking, so when you suggest that even species who mate for life seek other sexual partners, you’re overlooking some details. In the animal world, there’s no such thing as paternity lawsuits and child support
They don’t have condoms or pills either.
Glad to see your account registration finally worked (stupid mail server
).
Well at the time I was
Well at the time I was Polyamourous, It was generally a couple of GF’s and a FB or two on the side, and yes sometimes the big green monster does bite and that managed to end one of my relationships (that was the only GF getting jealous not only of my partners but my friends to), though I have to say I always found the open poly relationship better for myself.
Protection just helps prevent the need to worry about child support, lol, at the end of the day we may be animals but we are more advanced
Bingo
Which is precisely my point; monogamy is an option we can pick even though many animals don’t, because we’re more advanced.
