Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Date a Geek Girl
10. She has traumatic memories from her K-12 education, or rather, the social interactions from her years before college. Your irrational fear of public bathrooms is not so irrational to her.
9. She’s smart, maybe even smarter than you. When she sees the string of acronyms after your name in your sig file, she gets excited. Conversely, she’ll taunt you when her string is longer.
8. She won’t look at you like you have two heads when you complain about bandwidth, when you scream at your computer, when you’ve taken apart your Xbox, when you start sewing a costume to wear at GenCon…
7. She understands your nutritional needs. She bakes cookies and orders pizza for D&D nights. When you’re playing WoW, she’ll cut your dinner into bite-sized pieces so you can eat and heal the main tank simultaneously.
6. If she doesn’t share your obsession with Star Wars, she at least understands it. The idea of a room wallpapered with figurines intrigues her and she’ll pick up a lightsaber to battle you to determine who takes out the garbage.
5. Geek girls come in all shapes and sizes from pixie to Willendorf goddess. Their hair is spikey, bobbed, down to their waist, or in braids. They are not slaves to fashion, but march to the beat of their own drummer, even if that drummer demands they wear shirts with jokes about counting in binary.
4. She’ll love you for your smarts, and if those smarts net you a lot of cash, that’s just the icing on the cake. (Everyone knows a really good cake doesn’t need icing!) Her intentions are to find a lifemate, not a lifeline. Besides, she’s smart enough to make her own fortune.
3. She loves to learn about anything and everything, so life and love are never vanilla. Nuff said?
2. Her friends are other geek girls, who you can set up with your geek friends. Not only will you be a hero, all those geeks would make a great WoW guild or D&D group!
1. If you’re a geek guy, she’ll trust you. If you’re a regular guy, she has eyes and ears everywhere and when she dumps you, you’ll know why. You won’t be sure of how she figured it out, but if I told you, she wouldn’t be able to do it again. 
Happy dating, geek friends.

I was wondering about your “string of acronyms”…
If I ever found a girl who would even consider battling me with a light saber for division of house hold chores…. well, lets just say I might not just fall down and would worship at her feet, but it would be close.
Boy, I feel down now.
Are there really girls out there that have that kind of fun?
Hey E,
Found you through my buddy Yax. Nice new digs you got there!
I found my geek girl (A Speech Language Pathologist that loves computers and Heroes!) and while she’s not a gamer girl, she definitively digs me. I married her and we have nice geeky kids now!
Good post on the charms of the geek goddess!
I’d love to trade links with you if ya don’t mind… I have this little RPG blog that’s not doing too bad..
I’ll put you up on the blog roll just now.
After reading this I now know what I need in a relationship. Should have tried to date a geek girl before but they are not easy to find. Somebody should start a geek dating website. I would be the first customer.
Hi everyone!
I’m home from work and have 15 minutes to check email and do everything before I have to leave for a gig (Easter time is big business for musicians!).
Karsten, my string involves B.A. and NBCT. I’m hoping to add M.Ed. and D.M.A. in future years.
Catdragon, I’d be up for that kind of battle. Or perhaps a game of Munchkin.
Chatty - I’ll gladly linklove you as soon as I get home tonight!
Peo - There are a few out there, but honestly, your best bet is to cast your net wide on a popular service like Match.com. More people to choose from and people keep their profiles more up to date.
Thanks for all the great comments, friends!!
e.
At Origins last year there were advertisements for a geek-centric dating site (and I think one that focused on comic geeks was floating around for a while.) I’ll see if I can dig it up.
Just found you by accident, and I’m sooooo digging it! I too am a geek girl, in fact I have been dubbed Queen of the Dorks by my friends (who are fellow geeks themselves AND happen to be all male) within the last couple of weeks. I got lucky and found my geek counterpart 15 years ago. There IS hope for all the lonely geek boys and girls out there. It is nice to be able to have marathon conversations on the expansive Lucas universe, and actually have someone who understands what in the hell you’re talking about. Or, even better, someone you can argue with over which is superior: Ravenloft, Forgotten Realms, or which edition of D&D is the best to play. As far as Star Wars in the bedroom, I drew the line when he said he wanted to decorate the entire room in Star Wars, complete with Death Star pillow cases. (The life size stand up cutout of slave Leia staring at me from the corner of the room was enough. ;P) Thanks for the fun article!
Greetings fellow geek girl! Aren’t we lucky to have found our wonderful geek men?
(Two of my friends have a life sized Darth Vader cutout in their living room. Sometimes I have to double-take because I think it’s a real person!)
Very true. My wife is as big a geek as I am- we did some of our first flirting over D&D and the Buffy musical- and it’s great.
I completely agree with all of this. Now please point me in the direction of a geek girl. I’ve never met a girl as geeky as me. PS. Lightsaber battles for chores? Thats an awesome idea.
Blademaster - they’re out there!
Just gotta keep looking… I’ll give you a hint. Geek girls, like geek guys, tend to live on the internet. That’s why online dating is a great place to find them. 
Ah, as a middle-aged engineer D&Der who reads physics articles for fun, I wish I could have found an appropriate geek girl when I was young. As it is, my wife (non-geek) considers “geek” to be an insult!
