Geek love

[Glompbot]

So... Prompted by a discussion (http://forum.zgeek.com/showthread.php?p=357592) in the "i really need a root forum", I decided to post a poll.

Do you prefer someone you can geek it up with? or do you have a soft spot for those nongeeky types?

[Aardvark]

Hell, with enough beer, one can fuck just about anything

[kré]

i voted 'A little from column a), a little from column b).'

the only relationship i've been in with someone i'd consider to be a geek was geekier than me, which was hard to handle :o

in the job she was in at the time, she spent a week coding image maps in notepad. while not extremely geeky, doing that shit for a week would drive me insane.

[timace]

My last gf was geeky. Well, she knew the basics, I spose you'd call it. Diablo 2 and MSN. I got her on to IRC, which ended up being a bad idea... Because all that succeeded in doing was driving me out of those two channels.

[BtrFly]

well after being burned a couple of times by competely geeky ones. i have decided to try my hand at less geeky ones... heres hoping it turns out better...

[timace]

Yeah, when they can stalk you via electronic methods, it can be worse than via conventional methods.

[cub]

geeks shouldn't marry geeks.

it's called inbreeding.

[timace]

lol. nice first post. welcome to zgeek, cub.

[FritzTheCat]

bit of a, bit of b...

as long as she (whoever it is) doesnt laugh at me when i say things like mirc, msn, lan, 1337, noob, pwned, cs, magic the gathering etc..then i'm cool *shrugs*...

[Glompbot]

I tried dating a guy who was less geeky than me once, it didn't work out... he sulked when I used irc instead of paying attention to him.

I also had a longish relationship with a geek, it was cool because we'd both sit at seperate PC's and play or chat with other people, and neither minded... or i'd sit and watch him play games...
Also we used to go lanning together, i miss lanning.

[FritzTheCat]

oohhh, yes, (further thoughts) she'd having to understand the fun in having a lan party..and maybe join..depending on the crowd.

[Ic3]

As I said before, it didn't work for me. As long as the girl doesn't mind if I am a geek and do geek it up it's fine. But when I went out with a girl who was a geek, most of our time spent together were on computers and barely talking...so yeah, maybe it's just my bad experiences, but I'm looking for either a non-geek girl, or a barely geekish girl...

[Scythe]

I prefer someone I can have a real conversation with, which means someone intelligent, which a lot of the time also means someone at least slightly geeky.

[BtrFly]

you also have to define geek. law students can be considered geeks - they are brainy!

[timace]

we mean intarweb geeks, erica :p

[Felix]

My girl's a programmer/web-developer. She's very geeky. It's unspeakably sexy.

[Tintin]

geeks shouldn't marry geeks.

Hey both my parents are geeks and I turned out ok! (See pic at left).

P.S. My definition of geek is not limited to computer geeks. It is way obvious that there are many non-computer geeks out there.

[Asmodeus]

i have yet to find one geekier then me, but at least this one knows enough to send a net broadcast to my machine asking for another soda if i get up to get one.

doesn't know crap about computers tho.

[chip256]

I have yet to be in a relationship, so I can't comment yet.

[Colonel Kurtz]

I thought it was GREEK love

[hazza]

nooo chance... im only a geek when im at home, i actually lead a double life... outside of my room and uni course, im totally non-geeky and no way i could date a femgeek

[BlueBoy]

I thought it was GREEK love
You'd love that wouldn't you. :p

Back on topic: I find with geek chicks I have a lot more in common. Even more so if she's a game playing geek chick. :)

[BtrFly]

we mean intarweb geeks, erica :p

i know - i was being facetious :p

i am currently being wooed by a geek... but he is quite loverly actually!

[SamBo]

I thought it was GREEK love
similar, yet with much less hair...

[repeat]

A little of column a and a little of column b, it all depends on the person I am seeing.

[Ic3]

You'd love that wouldn't you. :p

Back on topic: I find with geek chicks I have a lot more in common. Even more so if she's a game playing geek chick. :)

That was the problem..too much in common is not cool. Two friends of mine who are going out are the worse. All I ever see them do is play ragnarok, that is their love life, and that's why he keeps telling me he's bored!

[MaJeztik]

I know its shallow, but I wont date a girl that knows computers. So no geeks for me.

I dunno what it is, but if they know how to use my pc they can fsck off.

I run linux at home so i guess its pretty slim im gonna meet a chick that knows how to use it anyway.

Ahh MMORPGs. The swinger's parties of the new millenium.

[Necron]

Id never date a girl that could beat me in CS or battlefield :p

Wouldnt you like a little geek in you. :confused:

[kré]

my wife used to play CS with me occasionally, now she doesn't even fire up the sims :(

[Necron]

my wife used to play CS with me occasionally, now she doesn't even fire up the sims :(

My girl plays Warcraft 3 (because of the cute creatures) with me occassionally but she doesnt like many other games I play.

On another note; she is sometimes under my computer desk when im playing. :eek: :D

Is good.

[SamBo]

I don't really care if my partner is a geek or not. As long as I find them interesting and they find me interesting, that's all that counts.
Actually, I think that people who only date someone due to their chosen profession or hobbies are probably pretty shallow or boring.

[Holster]

Bah, sharing is caring buster, but then again my ex had limited PC skills so I was able to set him up a limited account on my PC and he didn't know how to get around it and I was happy knowing my PC remained unmolested.

And I used to run linux as my home desktop, and I will be running it again soon, along with a shiny new wireless network..ohhhhhh, nice.

Geeky girls fucking rock :cool:

[Glompbot]

I used to play CS and BF1942 with my ex... as well as several other car games...
Had a big tv, so we played tekken tag a lot too.

I love games, I can't play them very often due to wrist injury.

[BtrFly]

ooh i know how to use linux!! ooh ooh pick me!

i dont mind what people do, i just find i get along better with them if they are at least moderately geeky...

[Lina]

I've been out with geeks and non-geeks and I have no preference. Although my non-geeky boyfriend thinks I am completely farkin' loopy for spending seven hours playing Warcraft on a Saturday night. Not to mention most of Friday night and a good portion of Sunday. Several weekends in a row :D

[Elf_Girl]

a little from a and b. simply cause my bf is a geek who i love with all my heart, but at times it can get out of hand and i cant stand how he describes every little detail bout something. its cute though :)
we do get along when lanning though which is cool :D

[Glompbot]

lina! do you play war 3? do you play on battlenet?!

[thingy]

The rest of us just think you're loopy because you like macs.

As for my opinion, the geeks are the best.

[Xenex]

Once you go Mac, you won't go back!

Seriously though, the person is more important that the label...

[thingy]

Once you go Mac, you won't go back!

Yeah, because it kills too many braincells for you to be able to do anything other than drool and admire the pretty. I know what I talk about, I "support" them at work.

[kré]

Once you go Mac, you won't go back!

i foresee that thingy will disagree with you here.

edit: i'm not quick enough :cool:

[Xenex]

I support (and not in quotes) a whole lot of Macs too, and a fair few Windows people nowadays (http://www.apple.com.au/ipod/) too. The Mac users are generally more knowledgeable than their Windows counterparts. But eh, this isn't going to go anywhere...

i foresee that thingy will disagree with you here.
You 'foresee' the past! ;P

Anyway, the best girlfriend I've had also happens to be a Mac user, with decent taste in music, but not too much of a geek. I think I'll keep her!

[Lina]

Blah, blah, blah...lets be original and bash Macs! Bah. You suck Thingy :D *buggers off to drool at the pretty computer*

[Tintin]

I would not mind an Amiga who likes the Amiga. Oh and if she wore those PS2 pvc pants that would be nice too. And underneath, those NES joypad undies. :D

[Shez]

i think geeky is good i can handle that..
if they can make me laugh, keep me entertained, have lots of good conversations with me and occasionally not beat me in games (hehe) then its all good ..
its also good when they have a pc of their own .. i dont like fighting for the pc that just irratates me! :D
But i think im doing well so far.. ;)

[Afro88]

Amiga's rule. I used to have an A500 with about 200 disks of copied games :)

[Lina]

lina! do you play war 3? do you play on battlenet?!

Ya! I'm gonna finish the campaigns in III first, then I shall start glove slapping people :D

I rekon lanning together would be fun...

I am not overly particular, however I prefer geeks.

[Cassa]

Since DumHed and I just got married, I think you can guess where my preferences are :D

[wolfpac181]

nooo chance... im only a geek when im at home, i actually lead a double life... outside of my room and uni course, im totally non-geeky and no way i could date a femgeek

Holy crap!!!! I thought you were homosexual!
Man, I've been thinking that for like 3 years now.

[dozer]

id hate to have a geek as a girlfriend, what kind of hawt chixor spends all day infront of a pc? and besides i value more important skills.

[Shez]

[BtrFly]

[Ic3]

[tikdoph]

[sperm]

anyone daring enough to make a 'hot girl geeks' poll thread ? :eek:

[Ic3]

anyone daring enough to make a 'hot girl geeks' poll thread ? :eek:

Goat Boy, I'm looking at you...

[AVataRR]

agh. I can't belive I actually remember zGeek having a girl geek section a few hundred years ago. I hope Pirate reads this thread and brings it back.

[Aardvark]

Nah, set up a 29.95 monthly charge for the pr0n section and ching ching cash in on that goldmine he's fapping on top of right now. That's right, a minefull of gold. Pirate's gold. With boobies

[SamBo]

agh. I can't belive I actually remember zGeek having a girl geek section a few hundred years ago. I hope Pirate reads this thread and brings it back.
you're kidding right?
that thing only contained a bunch of try-hard girls looking for massive amounts of attention.
Not worthy of zgeek in my opinion... we have enough people like that on the forums!

[BtrFly]

i wouldnt say it was just the girls who were try hard... take a look at noddy for example...

[sperm]

closest i get is this link :

cool, i just found a nice proxy link if you want to avoid work snooping ! :)

[Al]

The problem is being a geek is more to do with my job, or what I do, not what I am. Although I don't mind geeky stuff I tend to avoid getting involved in any real depth. The girls I've gone out with have so far been almost techno-phobic. They left that stuff to me, also since they never really wanted to hear about that kind of thing I've learned exactly how much to tell people and become skilled at detecting that point at which their eyes glaze over.

Point being, coz of the people I tend to hang out with I doubt I'd ever meet a really geeky girl. I wouldn't be entirely adverse to it, but I try to keep computer stuff out of my social life since it dominates my work day...

[dozer]

i need proff of their phw00004rrr, and besides most of them are taken

show me the hawt SINGLE g33k ch1x0rz and i will believe

[durus]

I am a geek through and through. All my GFs have been non-geeks. Best one so far was a politics/arts student. I think i'd actually prefer a geek girl even though I've never been with one. It'd be nice to have some extra stuff to talk about and someone who understands that I was late because I couldn't find a save point/needed to finish off the mission before leaving.

[dilligaf]

Im a bit of a geek.

My g/f is not a geek at all.

Geek girl doesnt bother me. If my g/f was a geek id still love her just as much as i do now.

[FireHart]

Geeky girls are the best! AND rare... rare = good;

[Asmodeus]

now just to find a uber geeky decent looking natural redhead who loves metal, bf1942 and giving oral sex that doesn't have any political, religious, or smoking hangups, id be set, yeah female would definitely be in there too..

yeah, and i mean one se goo din bed when you take off her panties her pussy is wearing a cape with a big red and yellow S on it.. yes, we are talking about super vagina here. oh yeah, and head so good you have to pull teh sheets out the crack of your ass when shes done.

and can live on adiet of pizza, sushi and burritos and not lose her shape, which should be somewhere around that of a lingerie model.

[fastfood]

Oh, excuse me. I thought the subject header was "Greek Love". Which is different, usually, though, sometimes not.

[BlueBoy]

Oh, excuse me. I thought the subject header was "Greek Love". Which is different, usually, though, sometimes not.
It's been done.

[Scythe]

It's been done.

We don't really need to know about your Greek Love experiences, BlueBoy.

[Merudo]

It's been done.
no comrade premier.... it has only begun.....

[That Bloke]

I can handle someone who's somewhat plain looking but is smart but if someone is a moron they'll just completely shit me even if they looked like a super model.

[Merudo]

i'll email jessica simpson and tell her you're not interested then.

[rin]

i'm not a geek, SamBo is - our differences help keep things interesting. i enjoy watching him play games, and going to LANs with him... and he laughs at me when i "try" to play games :)

i don't know much about computers really, but he doesn't expect me to learn everything he knows or anything like that :) sure he needs to explain things sometimes, but it's all part of getting to know him and what his interests are.

i love him :D and wouldn't want him to be anything other than himself... i know, i know - *runs off to A Room.* ;)

[That Bloke]

i'll email jessica simpson and tell her you're not interested then.

It's quite true

[Coolcan2]

/me drools at the thought of a g/f that would go to lans with him

[NeXuS]

/me drools at the thought of a g/f that would go to lans with himMoebs and I are going lanning this weekend. Its great having a gaming g/f. I got woken up this morning and asked if I wanted to game (amongst other things). How good is that :D :D :D :D :D :D

[astro]

Geek love is fantastic. Imp and I stayed up until 2am last night playing various versions of Total War - she's on Medieval and I'm on Rome.

I slept in this morning and the first thing she said to me when I finally reappeared was "Look, honey! I crushed those pathetic Aragonese!" to which my response was "Well done, babe. Last night I destroyed the Gauls!"

The only problem with Geek love is that when I try to sound like I know what i'm talking about she corrects me and makes me look silly. After a while i've learned not to shoot my mouth off ;)

Love it. Geek Style.

[Kez]

Either or is good for me. Chicks into extreme sports like me, now that's good.
