Geek Love: 10 Reasons to Date a Geek.

Just recycling a post by Harry Mylonadis on “The Next Web“.

With Post Valentine Depression now well behind us, I thought it was time to cheer up and write about something more positive. A few days ago my wife turned to me, while I was brainstorming uber-geeky topics and ideas, and told me “You should write the top 10 reasons why someone should date a geek!”.

I paused for a second and with a puzzled look told her “Well, you tell me what they are…”. I’ve been with my wife for more than 10 years now and I’ve always wondered, why the *blip* did she choose me? What’s so special about me? Doesn’t my geekiness drive her mad?

After a long discussion and a bit of psychoanalysis, we managed to boil it down to the following reasons.

1. We’re Loyal
2. We’re Caring
3. We Don’t Create Problems, We Solve Them
4. We Like to Listen (even though we may drift away)
5. We’re Creative
6. We’ll Search Very Hard for Your Present
7. We Learn Everything
8. We Can Adapt
9. We Are Easy to Please
10. No Sports Night

It is a funny list, nothing more, nothing less. It is just a list, and geeks like lists, don’t they? I’m not sure if all reasons apply to me, at least some of them need some personal fine-tuning, but others may decide that for me.
