The rest are 20-turning-21 year old virgins who have never been kissed before.
It's an ugly situation when you realize there's no breaking out of that box coming soon. How do you meet girls when you don't go to clubs because you don't want to go alone and all of your friends are geeks too? There's a serious possibility that after university, you'll find work and keep mostly to yourself, never meeting anyone. It's going to be sort of interesting to watch.
P.S. If you're ever in the Greater Toronto Area, weezer...
That's so true. The life of a geek is truly a hard one. I think in the past, it was easier for guys to meet girls. Plus more parents were involved with fixing their kids up because *gasp* how could their kids NOT get married? Now it's becoming more common to not get married. I have a few uncles that are geeks and they are single...they've had gfs but nobody they would want to marry. they are both like 30+!! Anyways, it's easy to sit back and believe that "the right one will just magically appear" one day, but in reality, that doesnt' always happen. Especially if you spend day in and day out in front of a computer (either at work or at home). Ok, meeting girls on the 'net doens't count.
SULLY: i'm not going to be in toronto but i will be in vancouver this saturday!! hehe
I meant for my example...i don't have anything against meeting ppl over the net..

Will a geek marry a fox? Well if you aren't rich and you look like a geek propbably not. But there are plenty of women out there that would make your life complete. Just don't be caught up in Corporate America's Version of the "Perfect" wife and you surely will find someone for you.
BTW you don't have to be rich or good looking to get a fox for a girlfrienmd or wife, just take Shinerburke for example He's a chubby dorky looking dude and he has himself a fine looking girlfriend. Sure she's Bi-Polar but she looks good.

Probably will remain alone and miserable my entire life. I'm not an attractive person nor do I have a good personality. I'm here to put my 70 odd years in and to vanish without being noticed. I don't say that for pity because that would accomplish me nothing. I don't have a problem living a life of a meaningless future because what will all that we achieve be left to? It will all turn to nothing. Why not just live in the sh!t and wait to the end? When you're dead, you won't know what people will say about you nor should you care. You'll never see them again. In my opinion, I hate life and I find it ridiculously pointless. I loathe the day I was born and wish it never had came.
If I can't love myself, how can I love someone else? But what is love? An emotion that will draw us close until that godforsaken day that our partner dumps us and we're left with nothing but a not saying good bye, tear-stained eyes and a .44 magnum with a single bullet. I got nothing to lose nor gain. I'm prayin for the end.

Meeting girls on the Net definitely doesn't count. Anecdote time: A girl I know who moved out to Alberta for graduate studies at the end of last year had a guy she met and totally clicked with online fly in and stay with her for a week a few months back. When he got there...absolutely *no* chemistry. The guy was as demurring as they come - he'd answer the simplest yes or no question with "I dunno." It was hysterical to me and her other friends, but the two of them didn't even hug (much less do other things people normally do when one stays with another).
Moral of the story: You can be the world's most dashing Romeo online and probably even on the phone, but when it comes to in person...if you look - or more importantly, feel - like crap, nothing's going to happen. What a PITA all this relationship stuff is.
Well for you obviously.Originally posted by: baffled2

Same here, I consider myself a geek and im a socially active person. I get friends(males and females) easily. Maybe because I talk to much

I would have wagered a lot of money at the beginning of the summer that I'd end up being 21 (7 months away) without being kissed. I would have lost a lot of money too.
It's possible, it happens. Usually when you're not thinking about it at all. I was 20 before I had a g/f but this was worth waiting for IMO.ZV
well i guess for every single male, there's a single female (approx.). so eventually they'll be forced to seek each other out in new and inventive ways.
