♥ A Nerd
Over the past month, my husband has directed me to a slew of articles that extol the wonders of forging a romantic relationship with a geek or a nerd. This subtle affirmation-through-popular-opinion has only solidified my personal marital satisfaction. But if you, dear friend, are still geekless, never fear. Resources abound to help you navigate through the waters and land a geek of your very own.
To begin, this craiglist posting offers compelling reasons for adding geeks as a people-group to your pool of romantic possibilities. And while I'm not exactly sure how I feel about the New York Daily News classifying Tiger Woods as a nerd, (or Adam Brody, for that matter) their article will at least give you the Hollywood credence you might need to bolster your confidence. Finally, even if you do manage snuggle up to the next Steve Jobs or Larry Wall, you may still need some of Emily's helpful advice on keeping that nerd-torch glowing. Number 8, especially, may assist in preventing future Christmas or birthday present trauma.
Though undocumented by those previous authors, there is yet another benefit of loving a geek: the liberation of your own inner nerd. See, when the latest issue of ArtForum appears in all its massive, glossy glory, I have no qualms about skipping about the house and making us read art show reviews over dinner. I mean, hey, we'll probably be watching a Deep Space 9 later on in the evening anyway.
