A nerd dating site?

[Pzzaboy]

Recently joining the realm of the single world got me thinking. Are there any singles sites that cater to the computer nerd/geek? And if not, who's with me to start one? It strikes me that elligible attractive female computer nerds are in short supply; there needs to be a network to track them down.

[Porfiry]

If I were a computer nerd (note that I'm talking hypothetically, yah), I'm pretty sure the last people I'd want to date would be other computer nerds. :)

[Stryder]

It's not female nerds/geeks you should be looking for, it's female Cyberpunks.. okay. so they can be a bit voicestrous, sometimes extremely colourful, They might be sat infront of a computer, but it doesn't inhibit them any as they are still outgoing at heart.

It's just they can't find guys that can keep them amused....

Okay... so romance is just one thought... afterall... These women only seem to exist when us guys romance about them :D

As it turns out, PB, you can turn a nerdette into a somewhat comely woman. Check it out. (http://eveander.com/nerd/)

Actually I know two of the most babalicious girls on Earth that spend hours in front of the computer at night. Don't be too quick to think that the girls on the other end of the computer screen are ugly or unnattractive.

[Chagur]

But what are they doing?

Nerdy things?

Or other things?

Take care ;)

[Porfiry]

I'm afraid I can have no respect for a girl that uses the computer as much as I. I mean, I desire a human credential -- someone who can save me from my life rather than someone who will anchor me down to this misery.


Because, as I've said before, I'd rather be hunting a buffalo than programming on the computer. I do the latter only out of boredom.

[Chagur]

Hmmm ... Never felt satisfaction after constructing a particularly elegant
algorithm? Kind of like the final brushstroke needed to make the picture
what you wanted/imagined?

Curious ;)

[Stryder]

Porfiry again has a valid point, sometimes there is a need for difference.

Personally, The time I spend on a computer is purely because the outside real real world, seems to be a cold and despicable place sometimes. I use to spend nights out at clubs and bars in the town I use to live, but I found one day after brushing aside the alcohol induced fuzzy vision, that I was surrounded by people that were undesirable (at least in the legal sense).

(For those of you that would like to image, play a game or watch a film where a hero is stranded in a bar filled with briggands.)

Okay, so I found myself getting to the point of "Merging" with the computer, well on a plain of existance that could seem imaginable... Late nights... Caffine.... Chat rooms.... and modulated frequencies atuning the humming of a hardrive and shaking of a chassis of the computer, into something almost hypnotic.

Does it make me a nerd or geek??? I say nay.... I'm just waiting.. waiting for something to happen.... Something Big... something that will probably take me by storm, and possibly change a number of things in and around my life. That something desn't necessarily have to be someone to coax me out from this pseudo-shell created by rejecting the world, but from a Mission, a TASK.

[Xelios]

I use my computer because I'm bored :p

I imagine once I get my liscence in the next couple weeks that will change, as I can actually get to places without having my parents drive me. That definatly means more skiing =)

[Pzzaboy]

I just think it would be nice to have someone aound who would understand why I do sit in front of the computer for a good portion of th day, coding surfing and playing games. It'd be nice to play a game of Unreal Tournament against someone I'm attracted to. I'm sorry if that doesn't make sense.

But basically my main interest is computers, and if I can't find someone who is also interested in computers then our interests are always going to clash.

And personally there is something alluring about a woman who can command her machine to a point that most cannot.

[KalvinB]

Meeting any type of person requires being where they are. In the long long time ago, pre AOL, hitting any chatroom online there was a pretty good chance of meeting someone who's interested in computers. Now that the typical chat room is filled with teenagers who's only question is "who wants to Cyber?" meeting computer geeks out in the open is a long shot.

Your best bet online is IRC where you need at least an inkling of intelligence to log on or specialized forums. Offline, college is a great way to meet people with similar interests just by taking classes that interest you.

For the bold and daring you could pretend to be shopping at your local computer store while secretly looking for hot young women who appear to be looking for something and unable to find it. They'd appreciate the help I'm sure. Lord knows those damn sales associates at Fry's are worthless.

Just a few suggestions.

I semiregularly have UT lans at my house and until fairly recently they were attended by blokes..

By chance, a guy that attends the lans regularly brought a family friend with him that is female and loves to play UT..

She is 17 and she became involved with a close friend of mine that always attends the lans..

I invited some more people about a month down the track and she became involved with a nerdish friend of mine that I invited from the college that I belong to..

I and a bunch of close friends have decided that she has a nerd fetish LOL...

So far, I don't think anyone has 'scored' with her, not including capture the flag of course :)

so they are out there, and if this case is anything to go bye, they can be attractive also...

[Pzzaboy]

Cliched question, but any sisters? j/k

So they DO exist?
We must ocument this case for further scientific study.

[malisha]

Well i went through a whole 3 years of CS @ uni and i did not see any women that i can classify as 'shwing' :D as well as geeky, well not even geeky but at least half decent with the computer and with more then just surface knowledge of the computer.

Most of the women @ my uni would just get guys to do their assignments for them, which for me is a total turn off, i hate users, pfffft..........

[in vivo]

I must be the only chick on this thread of extraordinary, sexy, nerdy guys. What I'm getting from some of the posts is that genetically speaking, the likelihood of finding an intelligent (nerdy/geeky), attractive female of the species is about the same as finding a gorilla with butterfly wings, reading Shakespeare in the Congo.
???

;P

[Pzzaboy]

The gorillas as you describe them are much more abundant, I have three! In 21 years I have never met a woman who is really into computers. Of course computers have only been popular for about half that. But it makes my point clear before taking that into consideration.

My theory is that as soon as it's made clear that she's into computers, the nearest nerd drops to a knee and proposes. Thus the apparent lack of them.

[malisha]

Maybe in the world ? :) , BTW how are you vivo ;) na just playing.
To tell you the truth who cares if the girl likes computers or not, not really important, its just important she respects what you do because at times it takes alot of your time, time when you could be doing other things ;)

[Pzzaboy]

Not true!

Everyone looks for something different in someone of the opposite sex. And most of the time it's a sharing of similar interests. And since there are many people like me out there who spend the majority of their waking hours at a keyboard, it would be a great boost to a relationship if she was similarly interested.

[malisha]

hey Pzzaboy,
I know what your saying, it would be a good bonus to find someone that shares similar intrests but i mean if they where nice, caring .. bla bla bla, everything besides being a computer geek but still respected what you do and why you have to spend so much time in fron of the computer, you would pass down the chance at trying to do something with this person ?

Oh and pzzaboy, im not trying to have an argument, if you still disagree then its cool :)

[Pzzaboy]

I know that you're not trying to start an argument. I spend so much time here because I don't have a life, so much knowledge on the internet and so little time. And believe me just being interested in computers isn't enough, she must be all the things you listed. And as long as she's cool with computers and she was all the other things, I'd be fine.

[Ender]

rather strange

seems to me that a lot of "cyber bunnies" don't really get any kicks out out the common techno dork. Befor we try to snag on we need to show them that there is something worth getting into. Also thanks to malisha for the advice sorta junks.

[Xerxes]

Those types of chicks do exist (computer nerds) unfortunately, the ones I know are all somewhat undesirable. Maybe Pollux finds these types of ladies 'Babelicious', but I hear on the east coast, babes arent as abundant as here, so he may be deprived enough.......

well anyway, I agree with porf on this one, I dont want a girl who's a nerd. Everyone needs contrast in their lives. I wouldnt go barhopping to find my babe, cause like stryder said, they are undesirable too.

I'd prefer one who knows how to use a computer vs one who didnt, but all the same.

BTW where do you ski xelios. Fortress is the best.

[jennywenny]

Well, I was browsing the board and decided to register and provide a point of view from a female. I am a computer nerd. I don't however spend all of my waking hours at the keyboard. I have to sit at one all week long at the "job" so on the weekends I work out, hike and of course play a few hours of computer games. My gripe is that some of you guys are saying that you cannot find a "computer babe" but in my experience the guys who want babes could make paint peel just by looking at it. I just don't think people should expect qualities in other people that they themselves cannot offer. Ok, I've made my point, I'll shut up now.

P.S. Porfiry: Don't wait for someone to change your life for you, if you do you will be waiting forever. Grow a spine and use it. :D

Great post! I hope it isn't the last time we hear from you. :)

Computers are miserable things. What could possibly interest women in them??


P.S. Porfiry: Don't wait for someone to change your life for you, if you do you will be waiting forever. Grow a spine and use it.

Wow. You were able to perceive my lack of a spine from the two posts I made in this thread. That's some penetrating insight! I'll just go crawl back under by bed where I can entertain myself...

alone...

all alone...

[Ping?]

Hi All of you,

I just discovered this thread and I'm pretty interested in the subject. See, I'm one of these rare chicks that just really go for a guy that can code and has a nerdy shynes to him.. and a brain the size of a planet.

So where are these nerdy dating sites? I use a Danish dating site normally, but all the geeks have vanished, probably annoyed by all the hip brainless guys they were competing with... so now what do I do?

[Kunax]

Maybe "geeks" (i dont like that word) strangly as it may sound, are afraid of online contact, because they fear getting burned or even worse getting toyed with, are you setting bait :)

btw. velkommet til sciforums, where selfproclaimed inteligence explores the depths of stupidity, stay a while its can be quite entertaining

[Zephyr]

Real Nerds do not want to date.

...i.e., if you want to date, you're a poser, Pzza!

That was the beauty of grunge music. Up until the cool kids made it a cool thing. We were happier being losers, dating hot chicks. Tell the "cool kids" ruined the loser life style for us. But I say we bring back grunge music, only more violently, we shun the jocks and emo kids. :D Make them feel ashamed of who they are. But it will go the same as last time.

AH, the nerds get the hot chicks. Oh boy, you never hear about the hot guys going out with nerds, do you?
Some nerds at my school are better looking then the jocks and all. So it depends. I perfer the nerds actually. I have really good conversations with a lot of them and they are really nice to me. When I date guys who are kind of more on the nerdy side, I usually have better relatioships with them. Because A) they want to be friends with you still when you break up with them. B) A lot of them are funny C) you can talk more to them and have less of a physical relationship and more of a meaningful one.
So yeah...those nerds...*sigh*

[hug-a-tree]

What! Like everyone likes to date.

[Zephyr]

Real Nerds (TM) wouldn't do anything so social! People would start talking. People would start doubting. Maybe nerds are human after all?

It would ruin everything Real Nerds have worked for these past fifty years.

[donnybrook89]

There actually is a dating site for geeks. It's called Geek 2 Geek (http://www.gk2gk.com) and it's pretty good. Also has the top ten reasons why geeks (or nerds) make the best lovers.

Well, I suppose it depends. I've heard of some jocks dating the "nerdy girls". But few and far between.

Thats cool you prefer nerds. :)

Very true as well. I guess it could be that a "nerd has a growing respect for women.

[nazsmith]

I won't let this thread die:P
Anyway, I was doing a google search to see if there are sites to find intelligent females to date*. Thanks to whoever posted the geek 2 geek link. I've found this thread interesting and a manifestation of what many of us think.
BTW, it's easy to be a cool nerd. "Cool" people have quite visible rules about what norms they expect one to have to be considered "cool." High school is the best to be a cool nerd because high schoolers are very predictable & their standards of "a cool person" change little over time.
*The difficulty is finding an intelligent attractive female. And it just hit me: if I was an intelligent attractive female, who would I date? A gazillionaire, of course, and take half of his money after the divorce. It only makes sense that intelligent attractive females can get what they want, and be smart enough to actually know what they want. Oh well, guess I'll settle with debating topics with internet folk and limiting my personal life conversations to TV programs . . .

Not True, intelligent women know that there is more to life than money and power and are rarely attracted by it. Added to which they are more than capable of making their own.

Intelligent women seek intelligent males, sensitive, charming and witty. Bank balance is only important if their own intelligence cannot meet their own needs.

[Theoryofrelativity]

Further more, what sort of relationship will you both have if you are both on pc all day/night? What about sex? romance? entertainment? Fun?

[przyk]

Cybersex.

[Theoryofrelativity]

Cybersex.

not as good as real sex...or maybe you are not aware of that diffrence yet?

[przyk]

I've never tried either, actually.

Personally, I found more success from random encounters than dedicated mating pools.

There's no need to look. Just show 'em your stuff on Tetris or Bubble Bobble, and they'll fall right into your lap.

Looks like it's in it's infancy, fred. I'll pop back though. Not bad, as spam goes.


Anyway: welcome to DateMatch! It's often been said that

Sciforums is not a dating site.
Well guess what? Now it is!

Welcome to DateMatch! Where ur the date... and we provide the match!

Who wants to go first?

[Sandoz]

To have a dating site, you need more girls than boys, or at least somewhat similar amounts. There are about 10 male geeks for every female, so a nerd dating site would be more like a pack hunt than anything else. The most awkward, unshowered, introverted pack hunt in history, but a pack hunt still. Which would turn off most women, which would drain the supply even more, which would doom the site.

I also find it hilarious that a nerd's first reaction to being single would be to find a website. How about going out of the house and meeting people? No?
