Link of the day - Girl's Guide To Geek Guys

Sep 29 2004

A Girl’s Guide to Geek Guys is a gleefully tongue-in-cheek almanac for any females hoping to bag themselves a geek.

It’s full of spot-on observations about how to interact with your geek and keep him happy:

Let him play Myst or Chuck Yeager’s Air Combat for hours if he wants to. Act concerned if he’s stuck or has just been ambushed by three MiGs. My geek loves to try to help people on the Internet who say that they are stuck in Myst. He comes up with clever riddles instead of directing them point blank. Geeks also like to go to sci-fi and Japanese animated movies, again, a basically harmless vent for your man.

And of course:

If you’re not up on your Star Trek, you can forget about getting or keeping a geek dude. And I’m not just talking vintage-era Captain Kirk and Spock either. You’ve got to be up on your The Next Generation, your Deep Space Nine, your Babylon 5. Armed with your own knowledge of Federation policies, you can better gauge when and how to act.
