Ten Reasons to Date a Geek From a Girl who Married one

  • They rarely care what's on TV. This allows you to watch terrible reality shows. They won't have a clue because they had their headphones on, talking to guild members about what dungeon they're going to do, or how they kicked tail in PvP (Player vs. Player).
  • This is somewhat synonymous with the first one, but still worth mentioning. They never hog the remote.
  • They typically encourage the purchase of the latest electronics and gadgets.
  • You will own every console system ever made. Yes, this includes the original Nintendo (and if you're lucky they'll still have Tetris and Super Mario 3).
  • When talking/texting friends, girls never come up. The most risqué topic of conversation is whether they should get the breastplate (gasp) or the helmet with their arena points.
  • Most geeks I've met have vivid imaginations. This makes conversation fun and enjoyable for all.
  • They can live off a diet of pizza and Dr. Pepper (infinitely).
  • Geeks are usually content staying home. 
  • They can entertain themselves.
  • You never have to worry about what they're doing or where they're going because you know exactly where they'll be and exactly what they'll be doing...gaming.

  3. I married a geek too but he hates pizza and hogs the remote. LOL. Thanks for checking out my blog, and I think it's so impressive you write after a ten hour day. I only worked five hours today and I'm not sure I'll write. There are a lot of reasons for that, but still--impressive.
