Lots of ladies joining Major Geeks lately.

Have you noticed?
Good on you, girls.
Hope you get as much help and enjoyment out of MG as we guys do.

Suits me to a tee, but keep it down. We don't need anymore guys, OK?

 

I dont meen to sound small minded here. But I never realised how many women, girls and older people were into computers. And 99% of you guys put me to shame!

I like it, the digital world seems to have no boundries.

 

Darn it Bazza, if my wife sees this thread I won't be allowed to come back.LOL

 

Don't worry we won't rearrange the furniture, we like it just the way is it LOL

 

Welcome ladies...........

 

Yeah, I've noticed that, in general, that more and more girls and women are becoming more public with their geekiness than ever before. I guess, with things like YouTube, and with Olivia Munn on "Attack Of The Show" here in the States, they're more apt to know that it's okay to be a geek, just like the rest of us guys, and not necessarily what much of the rest of the media says they have to be. Bravo to those who aren't afraid of what anyone else thinks about them, and have chosen to show their geeky sides! Welcome to the lifestyle known as "GEEK," ladies!

 

As a "Old Geek" I have found that the creatures called "Lady Geeks" are much softer and nicer to cuddle with:droolLOL....................anyone ever tried to "Cuddle" M.A.:eek.........roflmaoroflmao

 

That would be scarey but not for his lady

 

No thanks, I like my nose just the way it is.

 

Girls can't work computers because they have cooties, don't bother trying to convince me otherwise. rolleyes

 

you just let yourself in for serious trouble:major

 

Ahh so you're one of them cootie sympathizers, I've heard about you guys! :innocent

 

Hmmmm.....been checking profiles?

 

Good to see computers aren't a male only sport anymore.

 

Good Lord, Theadster................where in blue blazes have you been?

Long time no come see.

 

Cool, always good to see a wide cross section of the Geek community. :cool

Nope, not really. But then I've been missing a lot of things, lately, loL!

Yep, friendship and help is a pretty much universal thing. Welcome to all. :wave

 

Rehab for you BOY.........:***

 

Bazza maybe this is why

A WOMEN’S FIFTEEN REASON'S WHY SHE LOVES GEEKS

1.) While geeks and nerds may be awkward, they’re well-meaning 9 out of 10 times. That smooth dude with the sly grin and the spider hands? Wonder what HIS intentions are... plus, I’ve never had a geek guy not call me when he said he would. Score major points THERE.

2.) They’re useful. In this tech-savvy world, it’s great to have a b/f who can make your laptop, desktop, and just about anything else that plugs into a wall behave itself.

3.) They’re more romantic than they’re given credit for. Ok true, their idea of romance might be to make up a spiffy web-page with all the reasons why they love you, with links to pics of you and sonnets and such... but hey. It lasts longer than flowers, plus you can show your friends.

4.) Due to their neglected status, there are plenty to choose from. You like ‘em tall and slender? There are plenty of geeks/nerds who are. You like ‘em smaller with more meat on their bones? Got that too.

5.) They’ve got brains. Come on now, how can intelligence be a bad thing?

6.) Most are quite good at remembering dates. Like birthdates and such, especially if they know it’ll make you happy. Due again to their neglected status, they’re more attentive than guys who “have more options”. Plus, with all that down time without a steady girlfriend, they’ll likely have mental lists of all the things they’d love to do once they GOT a girlfriend.

7.) Sex. Yep. Sex. I’m not really familiar with this myself, but I’ve friends who’ve been intimate with geek guys and it’s raves all around. They say a virgin wrote the Kama Sutra... all that time thinking about sex, imagining sex, dreaming about sex, (they are male after all) coupled with a desire to make you happy? Use your imagination.

8.) They’re relatively low-maintenance. Most can be fueled on pizza, Twinkies and Mt Dew. No complicated dinners needed here, so if you’re not the best cook, eh. Can you order a pizza?

9.) Most frequent bars as often as slugs frequent salt mines. You won’t have to worry much about your geek guy getting his “groove” on with club hotties because, frankly, he’ll be too busy rooting around under his computer wondering where that spare cable went. You won’t have to worry about him flirting with other women because, 9 out of 10 times, he’ll zip right by them in a perfect b-line towards the nearest electronics store. I’ve seen this happen.
Me: “Eww. Victoria Secret’s Models... They’re so skinny. How is that feminine? You can see her ribs!”
Geek Guy: “ooooooo...”
Me: “Hey!” *notices he is staring lustfully towards the computer store*
Geek Guy: “What?”
Me: “Never mind...”

10.) Although he may not want to go to every outing with you, you can arrange swaps, as in, you’ll go to his Gamer Con dressed as an elf princess if he’ll take you to the ballet. Plus, if he doesn’t want to go someplace with you, you won’t have to worry much about what he’s up to. You’ll probably come home to find him asleep on his keyboard in a sea of Mt. Dew cans with code blinking from the screen. It’s ok. He’s used to this. Just toss a blanket over him and turn out the light.

11.) His friends aren’t jerks. I can’t stress this enough. You’ll more likely get “Omg! A GIRL!! Can I see?!” than “Hey hot stuff back that *** up here and let me get some grub on...” They’re awkward geeks too and will, 9 times out of 10, treat you with the utmost respect and, more than likely, a note of awe. A cute girl picked one of their clan to date? It could happen to them! Hope! Drag some of your single girlfriends over, open up a pack of Mt. Dew, crack open the DnD set and get working. Nothing impresses geek guys more than a girl who can hack-n-slash (well ok maybe if she can code... a geek can dream).

12.) They’re rarely if ever possessive. They trust you, so you can be yourself around them. You like to walk around the house in a ratty t-shirt for comfort? He won’t care. He does too! They won’t get pissy if you don’t wear make-up or don’t want to bother primping your hair. If you gain a few pounds, they won’t try their best to make you feel like crap.

13.) They’re usually very well educated. Physics majors and the like. See #5. You won’t have to listen to him blathering on about his car (ok maybe a little), he’ll have loads of other interesting things to talk about. Politics, world events, how much the chicken burgers down at the local place rock, so long as you douse them in hot sauce...

14.) You’ll almost never have to hear, “Yaw dawg whazzap!!” plop out of their mouths. Unless it’s in jest. They spell properly, use correct punctuation, and are able to tell the difference between the toilet and the floor. They almost never get “wasted”, so you won’t have to worry about coming home to find him and his friends passed out on the floor amidst a pile of beer bottles. Mt. Dew cans, perhaps...

15.) And the final reason why geeks and nerds make great boyfriends: They actually give a damn about you. Not how you look (though that’s a plus), not how skinny you are, not how much make-up you primp yourself up with, but they like you for you. That kind of thing lasts longer than “DaMN baby you got a fine ***!!!” Believe me.

 

OK...let's get this straight guys before you all start this back-patting fest. Us girls aren't here for the geeks....we're here for the gadgets

 

Dang, Lev, you're bringing me down. I can dream, can't I?

 

Yep, same here - which is why I said "I hadn't noticed'. Which was a more urbane way of saying "I think you have mistaken me for someone who cares."

 

Nup. just reading the threads carefully, checking the grammar, and looking at the nicknames. Bazza

Great post BCGray. major

Well you can have mine you sweet young thing you; its 123-4567LOLLOL............. Oh and I'm much more cuddly than M.A.

 

Exactly! Toys, not boys. :cool

 

Hehe...I just KNEW you'd be stood right beside me on this one Mimsy

 

So? That's why we're here. The fact that there's other geeks here is a minor footnote.

 

To all those "surprised" male responses of geek females "coming out of the closet" (or those comments akin to females not having the intelligence to understand what a computer is rolleyes) - females have been "geeking" before many MG members were even born!

It's called using tools for time efficiency, males call it geeking.

Cheers

A few definitions of 'geek'....some of it ain't pretty.....

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&defl=en&q=define:Geek&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title

 

At a place I once worked, the term "grunts" was used. (Personally, I don't see why programmer/technical engineer/systems engineer/systems analysts/computer specialist type terms aren't maintained instead - never liked the term "geek".)

For some reason that number keeps running through my head like one of those catchy songs.LOL

 

Doggone it, Lev and Mims . . . just when I was getting all excited.
