After writing a little bit about Second Life, I got to thinking about the types of people who play it. And then I got to thinking about the sex lives of those people. And then I shuddered a little, but also wondered:
Do geeks make good boyfriends?
Because the internet is all expansive and all knowing, someone has already answered that question for me in a convenient, numbered fashion.
Many of the reasons are funny, and most make a lot of sense. Like number 6:
“[geeks] are quite good at remembering dates. Like birthdates and such, especially if they know it’ll make you happy. Due to their neglected status, they’re more attentive than guys who “have more options”. Plus, with all that down time without a steady girlfriend, they’ll likely have mental lists of all the things they’d love to do once they GOT a girlfriend.”
Having never dated a tried and true Geek before (although I did have a brief fling with someone who was a closet nerd…which wasn’t the reason we broke up…as far as he knew), I’m not the biggest expert on socially awkward people in relationships. However, the guy geeks I’ve been acquainted with over the years do tend to treat their girlfriends with an amazing amount of care.
And yes, like reason number 11, the cause for this amazing amount of care seems to stem from the fact that actually having a chick dig their nerdly ways is enough to make them ready and willing to do just about anything.
So tell us, DO geeks make better boyfriends? Or will they always make you second best to that hot pixilated babe in EverQuest?

Yes, we do!
I think they do. My current boyfriend is a total geek. And he’s amazing.
No there are no kids starving in africa,
Stupid work talks about stupid things sooo selfish.
Shut up and go help the poor.
Married a geek years ago and have never regretted a moment. Most of my friends are divorced, but I’m going to grow old with this guy. Geeks are in it for the long haul–they can actually SPELL commitment!
Well, I think we are all geeks at something, weather about cars or scool, taking care of others, medicine and “whatnot” but when it comes to the term “geek”, your probably be safer to go out with one because it is all to important to be with you to them cause they did not get the trophy for best athlete of the year and they don’t heve the muscles of a “greek god” but they won’t break your heart in the end!
OOOOO YEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHH. GEEKS ARE THE BEST IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A LIFETIME RELATIONSHIP. IT WILL BE THE HAPPIEST CHOICE U EVER MADE. Y DONT U JUST TRY OUT?
Not necessarily better boyfriends, but, emphatically YES, we indubitably make better lovers than non-geeks. Heaven knows we’ve spent a gazillion hours mentally practicing (they – psychiatrists and psychologists - called it daydreaming) about lovemaking techniques and reading about them beforehand, and viewing so much video do’s and don’ts from women who want to get the most out of a sexual encounter. Enough with trivialities of what to wear, when’s my birthday, are my shoes too shiny, does she wear too much blush, what show will we go to… Hey, wait a minute, we are the best show available, why go for a second rate representation that may or may not have “steamy” scenes in it. Let’s make our own, let’s be the entertainment to and for each other. Life is more about “love-making” than just loving, but expressing that immense volcano of love waiting to pour out from within us toward the other gender in this possibly exhilarating dichotomy of human existence! Let the voyage to blistering, steamy, energy releasing expression of the limitless physical love we can mount between us begin! Sorry, that’s my geek side talking, but hey, you can make any topic sexy if you know how to express it, right? Are you ready for that ultiMATE encounter that will leave you panting and exhausted with blissful orgasmic delight?
No, but maybe I’m bitter. My last two boyfriends were “geeks” and one turned out to be crazy while the other one broke my heart (probably too busy playing WoW and thinking about what kind of dragon he’d like to own to maintain a relationship).
Maybe I come off as a total crazy, but I have been disappointed. I won’t say I’m an ideal girlfriend either, but damn.
My boyfriend is a total geek. He works for a game-company.
The only bad things about him are that he flirts in-game with other players (which he swears isn’t flirting, but i’ve seen the convos) and that when the game company gets close to releasing a new game, he works overtime like crazy.
The GEEK shall inherit the Earth!
Good question, good topic.
But for truth, I get what you’re saying about geeks having the time to learn in effort to apply. But it depends how well they’re good at applying that in turn to text book to person! No stereotypical answer will fit. Some geeks geek out and can’t do a thing (American Pie?) and some will luck out and make it (Weird Science anyone?)
Well while I wouldn’t necessarily call my bf a “geek,” he is a smart-as-hell chemical engineering major who gets a little awkward in social situations. However, being good looking, he has been with a ridiculous amount of girls, which probably contributes to his wonderful qualities in the sack. The only downside to dating a guy like that is that they sometimes tend to be a little closed-off, and definitely always super busy with school.
Plus, they’ll always be smarter than you… lol.
Nice one, Cameron! You are obviously not a geek in the English language. Kudos.
Dork + poon = Off da Chain!
Totally true!LilOldEagle is sooooo on the mark. Imust say it again. I’m not a geek or a nerd. I’m an actress and model who’s dated other actors and models and they SUCK!! After being dumped by a male model I met on a shoot one day (he was bi-curious and dumped me for another male model), I’d decided enough was enough. I swallowed my pride and tried internet dating. After a couple months I found the sweetest, most loveable RPG, computer-savvy gamer “geek” with a lovely set of baby-blues.( He’s the kind of geek that always got the “just friends” line from girls, and usually got passed by… Those girls were STUPID!) And I’ve never been more in love in my entire life. He’s often told me he’s worried I might leave him for some handsome young costar, but he has no idea how wonderful he is in comparison to the typical egotistical pretty-boy trash I normally have to deal with. He tells me he feels so lucky to date someone like me, but I’M the lucky one!!
…And ooooooooh, what a lover…
Girls, take it from me, the geeks GOT IT GOIN ON!!

Coming from guys’ side I’m kind of curious to know how it goes the other way though… I mean… do geeks make good girlfriends? The subject doesn’t seem to come up much due to the ratio of male to female geeks, but I wanna know!
Yes, we do! We buy you top-of-the-line gadgetry for gifts; are pretty indepedant because we keep ourselves busy with intellectual pursuits; think hanging out with you and doing things like watching TV, discussing superficial crap, or partying is so novel because we never do it; AND we are loyal, considerate, and great in bed because we’ve had our shape of long-term relationships. The best thing of all is that we are unfailingly logical and rational and never fly off the handle.
**that last response was directed @ Genuinely Eccentric re: geeks as girlfriends. Also, I meant “share”.
