nerd love
how to love your geek
This article states that the smarter you are, the less sex you have. Does this mean that nerds and geeks are asexual?? Not in my experience. Either way you know geek love is in da house if:
You find someone’s compulsions sweet & endearing. OK, at least they’re not creepy and/or repulsive compulsions. You hope...
They can recite long strings of pi from memory.
They choose Fry’s over Nordstrom, every time.
They know the Latin name of the flowers, the cocoa content of the chocolate, and the ABV of the champagne they buy. Without asking. How romantic.
They posess an eerily thorough command of a specific & obscure domain of knowledge you didn’t even know existed. Until now.
Math sneaks into conversations at the oddest times. Seamlessly and flawlessly. And you never saw it coming.
Useless triva? Whadda ya mean?? That was my thesis!
They have their IQ tattooed somewhere on their body. In hex. I hate to think how, when, and where you discovered it.
BTW their IQ is greater than their weight.
Ownership of a near complete collection of the weirdest things. At work, on window sills, in closets. Many in the original boxes. Cataloged.
It’s been my personal experience that artists are good partners for nerds. Let’s just say that 2 out of 3 of someone’s wives have been artists (including his current one).
Nerd 1 admires Nerd 2’s new bike and asked where he got it. Nerd 2 sez, A woman came up to me yesterday, threw the bike on the ground, threw her clothes on top of it, and said, 'Take whatever you want!'
Nerd 1 sez, Good choice. The clothes probably wouldn’t have fit you anyway.
