maelorin at 09:11pm on 21/06/2004so, you're looking for a girl/guy and having no luck? perhaps you've been looking in all the wrong places (couldn't possibly be coz you're going about it the wrong way...)
a recent article in wired magazine just might help you by cracking the code to romance!
ok. ok. it's a geek thing.
but seriously, geeks need dates too. we do. (please?) and being the technophiles we are, when we go looking for our soulmate, don't you just know we're gonna do it online.
us millionaire chau vuong has gone so far as to publish his soulmate manifesto and create an online community to help him (and others) in his (their) quest(s). mind you, the website (and name) for socialgrid is less than inspiring ... damn geekiness ...
i have a feeling that christopher filkins may be onto something though. not only does filchyboy's the dating syndicate have a cooler website, but he can even sell you the things to make the successful date even more interesting!
and before you ask, i haven't tried either of them. at least, not yet.

It's not a soul-mate, or anything, but a BJ is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

but i must concede your point.
now, if could only find a way to make geeks enmasse interesting ... ;)
and yes, a bj is better than a poke in the eye.

us geeks are just socially awkward, not retarded.
these guys are using computers to help them score. [the wired article features two more guys: one hijacks aim and the other uses sms messages to flirt and pick up.]
me. i use whatever works :wink: :grin:

the geek uses technology to start the conversation.
there is a big difference there.
with a geek, at least you're 'talking' to a person at the other end ... we take some risks - even if it is from the safety of a keyboard.

the toys are just for breaking the ice, so to speak. [nerds get that all wrong.] the toys are the medium, not the message.
am. seeking. human. contact.
not. desperate.
