Ok! which one of you is this guy?
Can girls love geeks?
By Miriam Stoppard on Aug 4, 10 12:01 AM in Advice
Dear Miriam,

What do women look for in a man? Why do quiet, sensitive men like me always get overlooked? I'm 24 and women are a complete mystery to me.

I'm still waiting to find my first girlfriend. I realise I'm a bit geeky. I don't have a six-pack
and I'm passionate about everything to do
with computing.

Sport doesn't interest me but I can tell you everything there is to know about Monty Python and Star Trek.

I'm about to go into business with a friend and we're opening a computing shop which I'm confident will be a huge success.

I might not be the best-looking guy on the block but I'm not bad-looking either. I shower daily, clean my teeth morning and night and wear clean clothes. I have integrity, I love my dog and I care about the environment.

What do I have to do to get noticed? I worry that women think there must be something wrong with me or I'm strange.

Do you think it's because I'm boring or are women intimidated by a man who has a
high IQ?

Jeff

Asking someone to define inteligence is another good one
As is asking them wether they're aware of the various problems with the IQ test, such as the fact it doesn't translate particuarly well across cultural boundries, or the fact that the guy who drew up the first IQ tests may well have deliberately mis-interprited data that questioned the validity of the test or indeed the fact that you can actualy get better results through practice on the test.....

If the problem isn't looks, it's personality - even if they're 'reeeeally nice' (or because of that), if they're so shy they never get anywhere that's a personality trait and therefore it's their personality that's the problem.

EDIT similarly if they don't look great and still have success, that's their personality in action.
