Why Geeks & Nerds Are Worth It

This is more for the ladies, but it may give some of you gentlemen a bit of an ego boost xD ♥

In the wide world of dating, there are many options. Do you go for the flashy guy with the smooth smile, or the dude in the corner typing away on his laptop? The following are reasons why I think my fellow females should pay more attention to the quiet geeks and nerds, and less attention to the flashy boys.

1.) While geeks and nerds may be awkward, they’re well-meaning 9 out of 10 times. That smooth dude with the sly grin and the spider hands? Wonder what HIS intentions are... plus, I’ve never had a geek guy not call me when he said he would. Score major points THERE.

2.) They’re useful. In this tech-savvy world, it’s great to have a b/f who can make your laptop, desktop, and just about anything else that plugs into a wall behave itself.

3.) They’re more romantic than they’re given credit for. Ok true, their idea of romance might be to make up a spiffy web-page with all the reasons why they love you, with links to pics of you and sonnets and such... but hey. It lasts longer than flowers, plus you can show your friends.

4.) Due to their neglected status, there are plenty to choose from. You like ‘em tall and slender? There are plenty of geeks/nerds who are. You like ‘em smaller with more meat on their bones? Got that too.

5.) They’ve got brains. Come on now, how can intelligence be a bad thing?

6.) Most are quite good at remembering dates. Like birthdays and such, especially if they know it’ll make you happy. Due again to their neglected status, they’re more attentive than guys who “have more options”. Plus, with all that down time without a steady girlfriend, they’ll likely have mental lists of all the things they’d love to do once they GOT a girlfriend.

7.) Sex. Yep. Sex. I’m not really familiar with this myself, but I’ve friends who’ve been intimate with geek guys and it’s raves all around. They say a virgin wrote the Kama Sutra... all that time thinking about sex, imagining sex, dreaming about sex, (they are male after all) coupled with a desire to make you happy? Use your imagination.

8.) They’re relatively low-maintenance. Most can be fueled on pizza, Twinkies and Mt Dew. No complicated dinners needed here, so if you’re not the best cook, eh. Can you order a pizza?

9.) Most frequent bars as often as slugs frequent salt mines. You won’t have to worry much about your geek guy getting his “groove” on with club hotties because, frankly, he’ll be too busy rooting around under his computer wondering where that spare cable went. You won’t have to worry about him flirting with other women because, 9 out of 10 times, he’ll zip right by them in a perfect b-line towards the nearest electronics store. I’ve seen this happen.
Me: “Eww. Victoria Secret’s Models... They’re so skinny. How is that feminine? You can see her ribs!”
Geek Guy: “ooooooo...”
Me: “Hey!” *notices he is staring lustfully towards the computer store*
Geek Guy: “What?”
Me: “Never mind...”

10.) Although he may not want to go to every outing with you, you can arrange swaps, as in, you’ll go to his Gamer Con dressed as an elf princess if he’ll take you to the ballet. Plus, if he doesn’t want to go someplace with you, you won’t have to worry much about what he’s up to. You’ll probably come home to find him asleep on his keyboard in a sea of Mt. Dew cans with code blinking from the screen. It’s ok. He’s used to this. Just toss a blanket over him and turn out the light.

11.) His friends aren’t jerks. I can’t stress this enough. You’ll more likely get “Omg! A GIRL!! Can I see?!” than “Hey hot stuff back that ass up here and let me get some grub on...” They’re awkward geeks too and will, 9 times out of 10, treat you with the utmost respect and, more than likely, a note of awe. A cute girl picked one of their clan to date? It could happen to them! Hope! Drag some of your single girlfriends over, open up a pack of Mt. Dew, crack open the DnD set and get working. Nothing impresses geek guys more than a girl who can hack-n-slash (well ok maybe if she can code... a geek can dream).

12.) They’re rarely if ever possessive. They trust you, so you can be yourself around them. You like to walk around the house in a ratty t-shirt for comfort? He won’t care. He does too! They won’t get pissy if you don’t wear make-up or don’t want to bother primping your hair. If you gain a few pounds, they won’t try their best to make you feel like crap.

13.) They’re usually very well educated. Physics majors and the like. See #5. You won’t have to listen to him blathering on about his car (ok maybe a little), he’ll have loads of other interesting things to talk about. Politics, world events, how much the chicken burgers down at the local place rock, so long as you douse them in hot sauce...

14.) You’ll almost never have to hear, “Yaw dawg whazzap!!” plop out of their mouths. Unless it’s in jest. They spell properly, use correct punctuation, and are able to tell the difference between the toilet and the floor. They almost never get “wasted”, so you won’t have to worry about coming home to find him and his friends passed out on the floor amidst a pile of beer bottles. Mt. Dew cans, perhaps...

15.) And the final reason why geeks and nerds make great boyfriends: They actually give a damn about you. Not how you look (though that’s a plus), not how skinny you are, not how much make-up you primp yourself up with, but they like you for you. That kind of thing lasts longer than “DaMN baby you got a fine ass!!!” Believe me.

 

Every gf I've had has given me boundless compliments on my attitude vs. other guys, and I already know as a nerdy guy I'm worth more, so I fully agree with this xD.

Too bad shyness isn't quick to impress from the start.

 

I'm not really a geek nor a nerd but I fit into quite a few of these xD

like.. 5,6,8,11,12,13,14, and 15 o.o

 

laughed hard at #8 XD

 

To add onto 3, some will go out of their way to think of the silliest, craziest ways to be romantic to you.

I spent 2 months of dedicated gameplay to get one of my WoW friends that I had never previously met irl a present for Christmas, and even set up the "12 days of Christmas" (in reverse), giving her 12 things one day, 11 the next, etc. counting down to Christmas just because I wanted to make her happy :3 imagine a guy in a relationship with a girl doing something of that magnitude but irl xD.

 

That's so sweet! My boyfriend is a complete geek, but I don't think he could ever come up with something like that. He lacks a bit in the creativity department, though he certainly means well. I had to yell at him a number of times for heavy purchasing of gifts that I'd never be able to afford in return for x.x

 

Well the creativity part might not be across all nerdy/geeky types, but they certainly go out of their way to make you happy. I have a picture somewhere around these forums that I need to dig up for this thread >.>

 

Found it!

 

That.. is awesome..XD pokemon<3

 

[removed long ass quote]

Nerding is fun but not when your single XD.

 

yeah but they are still ugly =\

 

Not all, go back and read #4

 

doesnt matter had sex

 

Some nerdy girls are actually really beautiful and shy or very dedicated and understanding.
but some kind of boring >_<.(depends)

 

I actually love dating the geeks/nerds. They're everything you said they are and more! I prefer quiet nights in rather than going out and the intelligence part is a huge plus. Grammar/spelling/punctuation....huge pet peeve. Drives me absolutely nuts if a guy can't hold an actual intelligent conversation with me (via text, email, etc..) geeks are ftw.

FREAKING. ADORKABLE. <33333

 

Lol...wut?

 

In a related matter I'd also like to advise all you high school kiddies out there to be very nice to the geeks and nerds, because ten-fifteen years from now they'll be the ones with all the money or at least your boss in whatever job you end up getting.

 

I laugh so hard at number 14. As to this post, not like every girl would love those things about a nerd. But still I wish. xD

 

I laughed really hard at number 8.

From what I hear. (I'm not a nerd or anything so I wouldn't really know, you know? Okay, I lied.)

e-nerds are some of the MOST welcoming people in the world. Having to recruit people from the U.S.A. all the way to Australia to your clan-- you learn acceptance, and turn down discrimination. I know you pretty much covered this one, but it deserves to be told again!

 

and pretty weird too man, I've had some weird nerdy friends that would play mu online with me for 16 hours non stop without typing anything... I mean liek.. rly?
