This was a week for decisions. Major decisions. And boy, did we make them. We elected Barack Obama as the 44^th (and first African-American) President of the United States. And though we didn’t directly choose Michelle Obama (or any of the First Ladies), we did decide who’s hot and who’s not.  We chose between working out at the gym and at home, between babes and nerds, between trendy skirts and patterned leggings. On the relationship side of things, we decided to make the jump from friends to lovers, and subsequently from lovers back to friends. We learned that guys get off on porn (really?), and girls become more fertile by watching Sex and the City. We decided that you shouldn’t spend too much money on dating, and on the proper prep work for losing your v-card.

And now that it’s Friday, take a break from all the deliberations and enjoy the weekend!

We all know that David Beckham is too. hot. for. words. And we wouldn’t turn down a romp in the sack with Brad Pitt, Will Smith or Jason Bateman. But, there is something to be said for the nerdy boys. They are sweet, smart and totally under-rated.

I have always held a soft-spot in my heart for the underdogs, and techy, nerdy boys are no exception. So, I am bringing to you the hottest nerds out there.

These boys give nerdery a verrry good name.

Nerds and Sorority girls. They go together like a John Hughes movie and the 80’s.

Which is probably why Washington State’s Linux Users Group (the university’s largest computer club) has decided put out a memo to all the sororities on campus: “Make us over, and we’ll do your homework.”

In an effort to attract more women to the computer science program (and get a free haircut), the “nerds” of WSU’s Linux Club plan to host a “nerd auction”.

“You can buy a nerd and he’ll fix your computer”, their website explains, “help you with stats homework, or if you’re really adventurous, take you to dinner!”

But before the computer loving dudes go through with the auction, they’re looking for a few good sorority girls to make them more appealing.

“If anyone’s going to bid on us, we’ll need some spicing up. And who better to help with that than sorority girls who like nothing better than a makeover?”

While the whole “Beauty and the Greek” (sound familiar to anyone?) event is still in the planning stages, WSU’s computer program has garnered national attention because of it.

Will the idea bring more chicks into the lives of these self-described nerds? Of course!

Will the girls stick around? No f*cking way. Read More »

In an effort to make it seem like all women are money hungry gold-diggers, the Internet has birthed yet another dating site for rich dudes and the greedy girls who want to use—er, I mean, date them.

Girls, are you sick of looking for a sugardaddy in all the wrong places? And rich guys, is it lonely being loaded with cash but not looks? Search no further than MillionaireMate.com.

This newest installment of shallow dating sites proclaims it’s “where wealth and beauty come together for the ultimate online dating experience”, and allows members to check availability boxes such as “casual date”, “pen pals”, “casual sex/party”, “discrete relationship”, or “travel companion”.

Although I’m not sure what the difference is between “casual sex” and “discrete relationship” (or “casual sex” and “travel companion”, for that matter), the options on MillionaireMate.com do more than enough to disgust anyone who isn’t either a) greedy or b) desperate. Read More »

It’s summertime and love is in the air. While I’m lucky enough to have an amazing long term boyfriend, most girls our age are still playing the dating game. Online dating sites like EHarmony.com and Match.com have been everywhere lately- from billboards to TV’s to your sister’s computer screen. But what happens when you don’t fit the traditional mold and would like to look for someone… a bit more unusual? Maybe you have something specific that defines your personality or a certain style of living that cannot be compromised in a romantic relationship.

Hoards of specialized dating websites have begun to crop up around the web, resulting in matchmaking opportunities for weirdos everywhere. Radar Magazine’s list of some of the most obscure dating sites inspired me to search for a few strange dating sites of my own. I figured there must be something stranger than Datemypet.com…and boy was I right.

Redneckandsingle.com- The name of the site is pretty self-explanatory. If you enjoy beer, trucks, fishing, and rodeos this is probably the place for you.

Laffpersonals.com- Been around the block one too many times? This site is for singles openly infected with herpes, HPV, or your choice of a variety of other nasty STD’s. The site argues that 1 in 4 people have an STD anyway, so it’s safer to date someone who’s up front about it…and maybe they have a point. Read More »

So we’ve got McDreamy, McSteamy and maybe a McSexy somewhere in there. But what about all the McNerdy’s out there? Ya know, the really smart TV personalities that impress us with their remarkable intelligence.

Shouldn’t we give them a little recognition for being adorable too? I think so.

Well, that’s what bestweekever.tv has done. They’ve compiled a Top 15 Sexiest Nerds list. I must say, they’ve included the best of ‘em.

There’s a little Hugh Laurie from House, some Ewan McGregor (deelish) and of course, John Krasinski from The Office.

Check out the full list here.

Who do you think is the hottest McNerdy?

See more photos after the jump.  UPDATE: Bestweekever.tv has added to their list. Be sure to check it out. Read More »
