They say that women like us don't exist. The ones that see a level 80 druid and get turned on. The ones that will go home with a man who comes up to them in a bar and says "I used to be a vector, then you gave me direction." The ones who not only think medical tape on your hands to prevent blisters during gaming is hot, but a really good idea too. The ones who love it when you blind them with science. I'm here to say, we do exist, and we're not all ugly gamer girls who can't get dates from anywhere but the internet.
Many of you guys (and girls) are probably begging for an explanation. Who could be turned on by a geek, and why? Not to insult all you jocks out there (did you know a jock can be a geek too?) but geeks in all their glory are not just shy meek individuals, but they are extremely sensitive and romantic. Now I'm not going to deny the fact that some gamers/techies are assholes and should be avoided like the plague, but some atoms are short a few protons if you know what I mean. But to be honest, a man who reaches that level 80 shows perseverance and great problem solving skills, and cheesy science pick up lines require more thought and are quite a bit more respectful than what I usually hear in a bar.
Some girls are just genuinely attracted to those intelligent wonders from the get go, but others it's formed. For me, I always got a little warm when I saw a thin guy typing a mile-a-minute.
But when you combine the fact that all the macho athletic tanned and technologically deprived guys I tried either beat me up or couldn't hold a conversation it's no wonder that I love the Rick Moranis type. Speaking of Rick, did you ever notice the roles he played? The caring father, the romantic, the just plain adorkable. Every girl wants a guy like that. Some girls fall for the body-builders who can keep them safe. Some girls fall for the bad boy hoping to tame the beast. Then there's the girls like me, who would rather have their man come programmed for love.
And while geeks sometimes get a bad wrap, I'll let you in on a secret - while we may be the less experienced in the bedroom, you can bet we're likely to be the best because, as in all other aspects of our lives, we study the science of sex extensively. And while that may seem a bit creepy to think about, knowledge of the anatomy and physics leads to some crazy kinky mind blowing sex.
So before you sell yourself short or think your dreams of playing Call of Duty with your fiancee are hopeless, think again - the perfect girl might be out there, hiding in your local Best Buy.
Note: While I usually do not approve of stereotypes, I felt that the use of such labels was necessary for the purpose of the article.

This post is rather sweet. :)
@bella_esperanza@xanga - I think so, too. I am pretty attracted to geeks!
My boyfriend's coworker says his Native American name should be Types With Fury. :P I've never seen anyone type as quickly and as accurately as him.
He just bought a PS3 on a whim, and I can't wait to play Street Fighter 4 with him! HADUUUUUUUUUKEN!
What turns me on even more than a level 80 WoW character is a level 20 D&D character. I'm currently playing a Cleric of Obad-Hai, myself, and my boyfriend is working on a Spell Sword (basically a Fighter Mage prestige class). I prefer goin' old school and gettin' down to business with pen and paper. Any tabletop RPG is fine with me. D&D, Star Wars, Mage, Hunter, 7 Seas, our own that we're creating that's gonna blow everyone away; it's all good!
Ok...
YES! YES! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
<------ Gets hotter then theramite by geeks
My boyfriend is both a nerdy gamer and a "bad ass" (in his words). He boasts about being the best player on dota and I like that he's really, really smart... but he's also a social butterfly and would crack jokes all the time.
I love geeks! <3 Seriously. They are the best.
*reads post* *gets up* *saves file in ffx* *changes out of wii pjs* *goes to best buy*
hehe i'm feeling lucky now. =)
I'm almost exclusively attracted to geeky guys. Can't debate relativity with me at 2 in the morning? Then I'm not interested =)
I met a guy off match.com who said he was a geek. I thought I hit the lottery!
I'm always attracted to nerds since I am one myself :)
I'm glad you said that some jocks can be geeks too. I'm an avid weightlifter and general fitness nut, a Karate black-belt, played JV Football years ago, and I'm about to take up breakdancing. I also had level 99 characters with mastered everything and ultimate weapons in Final Fantasy 7, play 2-D Fighters such as King of Fighters and Street Fighter, and I'm thinking about going into Computer Science. (I'm already a Psychology major) I also like to learn about the world, including history and foreign languages. I'm currently in Taiwan studying Chinese.
It is possible for a "jock" to hold an intelligent conversation and be gentle and romantic. On meekness, please remember that "meekness isn't weakness, it's strength under control".
Also, I'll confess that despite my background, I have a thing for geeky, artsy and gothic/alternative women. (I'm not putting them in the same category, but they just don't seem to get as much attention as other "types".)
OMG, this is adorable! My boyfriend is a geek <3
I love the part about studying the science of sex. It made me LOL! Cause it's soooo true ;)
Geeks are the world's best. They teach me all the world's corners that no one knew about. I wouldn't be listening to indie music if it wasn't for a geek I dated way back when.
Nerdy guys are hands down the best.
i've never liked a geek before. but somehow, i find them rather cute haha
Haha! You should also probably add that nerds are probably going to be more successful than the jocks out there in the long-run. :P
Smart people are so damn sexy.
girls who like geeks do exist, but some of them really are ugly gamer girls who can't get dates from anywhere but the internet
(did you know a jock can be a geek too?)
Yep! I got one! lol XD He's a sweetie... and he fixes my computer! And works at a sports store. lol
I can't help but point out that the following quote does not make
sense "I used to be a vector, then you gave me direction." A vector
already has direction.
Anyways back to the topic...I have met
many geeks who actually turned out not to be that intelligent...geek
is simply a term used for the initial perception of being intelligent in my opinion.
my bf's a geek <3
i wouldn't have it any other way (:
"I'm here to say, we do exist, and we're not all ugly gamer girls who can't get dates from anywhere but the internet" <---I have to say this kinda puts a bad image about gamer girls in general, being I am one myself. There's not enough of us out there to order to project a good image of girls that game. Also, lots of non-geeks find dates on the internet.
However, I do agree with you on the attractiveness of a geek.
On a side note, I think geeks are good in bed, not because we study it, but because we spend so much time devoted to other things, that when we get to it, we let it all release.
intelligence and intense conversations about things that a lot of the world either doesn't know about or doesn't seem to care about are my favorite
Amen.
