Why do geeks make great boyfriends?

I am ashamed to admit I see way too much of myself in this article explaining geeks to girls. It is a great and funny read, but also a bit embarrassing to find yourself square in the bullseye.

Some hints for snagging your geek:

• Try not to look too attractive - you will only scare him.
• He will be shocked that you are interested and if you appear to be trying to pull him he is likely to respond by running away and pretending the whole thing didn't happen. You must persevere!
• He will be oblivious to even the most blatant of signals (those that are painfully obvious to every non-geek man and woman in the room!) Geeks will recognise this behaviour, (they've seen it in movies) but their tiny brains simply cannot compute that it is being directed towards them.
• Geeks can be very opinionated, smile and nod whilst they rant about politics, file sharing, how bad Windows is etc. unless you have strong opinions yourself, in which case go girl! The joy if the geek is that they actually do like intelligent women and should be happy to debate with you.

Sigh. Maybe there is hope for me yet.
