We all win, friends!

At last, conclusive evidence of what we knew all along.

You know you knew it! (http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/317296p-271224c.html)

WHY DIDNT I BECOME A NERD WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE!!!! :cry

[siskoeva]

does that give me a better chance?

[Ditz]

Old news... :P

Anyway, it's been known for years, geeks with a little bit of something are REALLY sexy.

[Realbumpbert]

A little bit of what? Is that a british expression or am I such a nerd I don't even recognize international slang? :P

...

I'm not going to put my money on what that article says. It's just a small collection of people claiming that geeks are good in a relationship, plus a few statistically insignificant examples of hot babes hooking up with guys who have at least one demonstrable nerdy characteristic.

Granted, celebrities are probably more finicky than your average woman, and one of the opinions cited belongs to a love & sex columnist, but my ego would like too much to believe that I belong to the dating elite for me to base any opinion off of that article.

That said, I am awesome.

By the way,
"They aren't as drawn to beauty as they are to intelligence, and wouldn't just accept a ditz."
:biggrin

I was going to say something nice to you. but after the last comment I won't. You suck. :p

[Realbumpbert]

Whatever it is, I'm sure I've got it, unless it's sideburns.

[Ditz]

Nah, it's just something...it's different with every person. With someone it might be wit, with someone else it might be sweetness, with another person it might be the stamina to stick in a debate with me.

[X Rogue]

Heh, I married a geek, long before this study. Someone hand me a Ph.D. :p

[Theodred]

Hmmm, if Tiger Woods can get a hot Swedish girl, then I suppose there's hope for me.

[Steadfast Sam]

Hmmm... if Tiger Woods can get millions playing a game, maybe there's hope for me! Oh, and the girl thing too.

[Realbumpbert]

Ditz: Not to get all mushy, but I appreciate knowing there's no hard feelings. As to stamina, yes, I have heard that can come in handy.

Sam and Theodred: Are you guys saying you're cooler than Tiger Woods? :p

[Theodred]

Very many people used to tell me I looked like Tiger Woods. Many people actually refer to me as "Tiger." I can't believe I confessed that. Now I am doomed.

[Realbumpbert]

I don't know, I think Tiger Woods is pretty cool. He looks fine, and he's a pro at his sport. Plus he did Saturn commercials. The guy's okay in my book.

He isn't a scientologist or something, is he?

[Steadfast Sam]

I'm a pro at many things, too. Now it's just a matter of time before the endorsements start rolling in.

[Ditz]

Ditz: Not to get all mushy, but I appreciate knowing there's no hard feelings. As to stamina, yes, I have heard that can come in handy.

Well, I don't like to hold hard feelings just because someone happens to hold different opinions during debates, I know I can be nasty in debates, so I don't expect other people to act differently. Plus anyone who can argue with me, and not break down in tears deserves a medal.

[X Rogue]

Nah, RBB, you are thinking of Tom Cruise. Tho I guess he's not really a geek, just an indifferent actor who got lucky.

[Prince Dol Amroth]

Woo Hoo, I get a medal...but just barely... :biggrin
