    10 Reasons to Date a Geek

    I was cruising on Shoutwire

    and i found this
    http://www.nickdenoo.be/?p=5

    it's a blog from a post by Roberst Scoble (employee of Microsoft) his wife her-the blogger made up top 10 reaons to date a Geek

    maybe some of these are correct- even if Angelina Jolie was in te room, all i'd do is just drool

    I think he actually meant OT:

    OT = off topic.
    OTT = over the top.

    10 Reasons Not To Date A Geek.

    1. They will enjoy playing with their computer far more than they will enjoy playing with you.

    2. Chatting over MSN Messenger is spending quality time together.

    3. Christmas & Birthday presents consist of Movies, Music & Software, all downloaded of course.

    4. “I can’t talk now; I’m in the middle of a game”!!!11!1!!

    5. They will create themselves an account on your PC and eventually become the sole administrator.

    6. You will spend more money, as they convince you to buy gadgets they’re interested in while making it believable that you actually need them youself.

    7. They lack the ability to socialise in real life, if you want them to meet your parents, arrange the meeting in an IRC channel.

    8. “Why have you installed that, you should install this”.

    9. They won’t take you out for fancy dinners because fancy to them is eating in at McDonalds.

    10. “Not showering for 3 days and walking around the house wrapped in my bed-covers or sitting at my PC is ‘normal’ ok"?

    by me :-P
