The Most Dateable Geeks
You need a date. It's a friend's wedding, a high school reunion, Thanksgiving, whatever. The point is you need someone - anyone! - that you can clean up, dress in a suit, and wear on your sleeve. But of course, all the good ones are married, gay or too self-involved to know a good thing when they see it! So who can you take instead? Now, before you start sobbing into your morning latte, here's a definitive list of everyone else out there. Don't worry, there's perks to all of them! Who knows? Try them all, and you just might find the geek of your dreams!
#01
The Music Geek
(They'll be sensitive about their tastes and cruel about yours. If you can put up with the superiority act, you might just get to be in the band.)
#02
The Band Geek
(They know how to use their mouth and, if a member of the woodwind section, tongue as well. Plus, we've all seen American Pie, right?)
#03
The Ren Faire Geek
(The faux British accent is the second best thing to a faux Brit. Plus: A lifetime supply of shepherd's pie. Yum!)
#04
The Comic Book Geek
(Will probably be worth a lot of money someday.)
#05
The Sports Geek
(The most socially acceptable of all the geeks, except on game day - make sure you are in another country when the tailgate gets going.)
#06
The Gamer Geek
(Perfect for people who want to date someone without having to interact with them at all... except over IM. Plus, a gamer girl is a walking wet dream for most guys.)
#07
The Furry Geek
(Just imagine that you're five and you own the world's largest teddy bear. Or stock in a potentially lucrative side-show attraction.)
#08
The Movie Geek
(As long as they keep putting Jack Nicholson in chick flicks, you'll always have a date!)
#09
The Sci-Fi Geek
(Can say "I love you" in 30 imaginary languages, including Vulcan.)
#10
The Internet Geek
(The best geeks ever! No, seriously, there's no reason not to date an Internet geek! We - uh, I mean - they are awesome!)
#11
The Politics Geek
(Yes, they're horribly boring - but that stuff kills at cocktail parties.)
#12
The Tri-Lambda Geek
(Technically a nerd, but their infectious laugh and ability to evoke sympathy with a heartfelt speech at the end of the movie will win you over.)
#13
The Anime Geek
(You might never be able to live up to their hentai fantasies, being a real live human and all, and you'll probably have to dress up a lot, but hey: 24-7 Halloween! Yay!)
#14
The RPG Geek
(As long as they wear +20 Constitution Plate Mail and carry a +12 Stamina Jeweled Scimitar, the sex will be amazing.)
#15
The Mac Geek
(Aesthetically pleasing, although the whole form over function thing could become a problem later in the relationship.)
