What's worse is that it's on AMD forums. I doubt a non-geek woman is going to wander across that without forethought. Even then, if the woman is....a woman, most geeks will fall for her.

"Hi! Wow, cool laptop! Is that a Mac?"
"Yeah! Isn't it awesome? It's got 4 GB of memory!"
"Is it a 13-inch or a 15-inch?"
"It's a 17-inch! And it's got four USB slots!!"
"OH MAH GAWSH! You've GOT to marry me!!"

... Just... no.

That's too geeky for most geeks. Seriously.

Not to mention, it's endearing for a girl to like you in spite of having no common interests. Faking common interests? That's called a relationship based on a lie, and it's doomed to fail from the start.

most women would not want a geek. that's because they tend to judge men by their attractiveness and social behavior.

also geeks give off a bit of a childish impression, and that doesn't help much.

ms.sith hates some of my geeky habits, like coding for hours or all weekend. oh that and not wanting to go places.

"They wear jeans or shorts"

Is that a joke? Pretty much every single person i see in my school wears jeans or shorts.

I never ever wear either jeans or shorts, so I was pleased by that part

The extreme geeks wear grey short shorts with suspenders and a short-sleeved shirt tucked into 'em. Also tall black socks and formal-looking shoes. They typically come with a bowl cut, braces, and glasses the same size as their face. They have an awkward smile, like they'll come after you in your sleep. Oh, and you'll never see a geek without an analogue watch on his wrist either. Geeks tend to be around average height or slightly shorter, but not always.

(Nearly everyone I've ever met wears jeans, but I suppose that would include both geeks and non-geeks.)

i don't wear jeans, i don't even own a pair of them.

Most of that actually sounded like the definition of a hipster.

And wait, what is this? Geeks don't tend to be tall? Is there something about geeks that like... prevents them from growing?

Naw but really, when I picture the stereotypical geek you just described, I imagine them very tall and lanky.
