Dating Tips For Geeks

 


So let’s say you live in a highly metropolitan area.  No matter what your custom search, you just wind up with tons upon tons of ladies.  Or, maybe you don’t want to limit yourself with categories like body type or religion, and again, you’ve got pages upon pages of prospects.  How do you weed out the girls who would have nothing to do with geeks, but leave the ones that are geek girls themselves?

You can do just-for-fun keyword searches, of course!  Some of these might not be your own personal interests, but if girls like these, they might have other interests that coincide with yours.

Geek

Now, not every person with similar interests is necessarily going to proclaim themselves a geek, much less on their profile.  However,  many of them do, or they say they’re looking for a geek guy.  Hence, the word “geek” is a great start.

Star Trek / Star Wars

For many people, this is less an entertaining TV show or movie, and more a way of life.  These aren’t necessarily recent, but you’re more likely to find people who will mention these than, say, Dune (though I’ve seen Dune listed, I swear).

Galactica

Basically, it’s the most recent cult sf show, so it has a good chance of being listed.   If you really like an older show like Sliders, it has less of a chance of being listed – but people who like Galactica might like older sf shows.

Whedon/Buffy/Firefly

What does it say about a person if they like Joss Whedon shows?  What does it say if they like them so much they mention him by name?  Lots!

Gamer

If a girl calls herself a gamer, chances are she means it.  Unless she’s really, really confused, and means player.

RPG

This can mean many things, but mentioning it at all means it’s worth a look.

Anime / Otaku

In my experience, people who have an interest in anime also tend to have interests in sf, or fantasy, or both.  Cosplayers might have started out as tabletop gamers, and vice-versa.

This is just a small sampling of what you can come up with.   When doing searches of any kind, I like going as broad as possible, and then narrowing, just so there’s no lost opportunities – and that applies to geeks, too!   Just because you’re one flavor of geek doesn’t mean you can’t search for all kinds – there’s much more crossover than you might think!


Happy hunting!

Do I Need a Job to Find a Girlfriend?


Short answer: no, but you need a job to keep a girlfriend.

That’s not exactly true, of course.  Money is not everything and should definitely not be a factor in choosing a mate.  Many women do not care about a man’s salary or what possible gifts he can give to her.  That is a great quality to look for in a woman—and a potential girlfriend: the lack of superficial values.  However, there are lots of reasons why you do need a job to keep a girlfriend.

Quite simply, a job shows that you work for your money.  You are not a spoiled brat living off a trust fund.  You are not mooching off of your parents.  You pay for your own living expenses, handle your debts, and hopefully, even save for a rainy day.  This shows you possess the basest form of adult responsibility to a woman.

A job shows a woman that you have ambitions or career goals.  Maybe your current job as a grocery store cashier isn’t your life’s dream…but it could be that you are gaining experience to become a storeowner yourself someday.  Dreams very rarely come true without a little work on your part.  A woman with goals of her own will likely be put off by a man who appears to drift through life aimlessly.

Maybe you’ve been working at your current job for five months—or maybe five years.  Either way, this is a way for a woman to gauge your stability (and to even use it as a relationship gauge).  What is your work history like?  Do you have a history of one-month-long assignments before you were fired?  Did you quit as soon as the job lost its appeal or got too hard?  If so, that may send up a red flag to a woman who is looking for commitment.  How will she know you will stick out a relationship if you can’t even stick out a job?

Finally, a job shows that you’re capable.  You’re capable of taking care of yourself, of keeping a job, of carrying yourself as a mature adult.  This is especially important if you hope to one day get married, have a family with this woman, to buy a house.  If you don’t even work, how will you achieve these milestones?  Moreover, a job displays your skill set, what you’re good at.  Productive skills are hard to find in the guy who lays around his parents’ basement all day.

More concretely (and with the near future in mind), without a job you will likely be short of cash at any given time.  What will you do on dates?  What if your new girlfriend wants to go bowling, but you’re broke?  How will you celebrate her birthday?  While money is certainly not essential to finding love, a boyfriend who either forces you to pay for him or holds you back from participating in fun activities is bound to become a burden very quickly.
