Why Geeky Girls Make Better Lovers

It's a tough world for geeky girls, especially when it comes to finding love. Apparently, enthusiasm for shows like Battlestar Galactica are pretty lame tools of seduction (who knew?) Nevertheless, we have hope that some boys out there will understand the true value of a geeky girl. This post initially began as a pep talk to our female readers, but somewhere along the way, it turned into a letter addressed to any and all men who happen to be reading our blog. Boys, we know each of you have personal preferences regarding girls. But have you ever considered the reasons why geeky girls might make better lovers? If not, then sally forth, dear reader.

Reason #1: We're not afraid of role playing.

Yeah, we went there. Maybe you've harbored a secret desire to sleep with Princess Leia since you were 10. Don't worry: you can tell us. We're used to dressing up as our favorite character at anime or sci-fi conventions (see above), so we're going to be more open to the idea of gallivanting about the bedroom in a costume than most women. Think about it.

Reason #2: We possess the knowledge and ability to save your ass during the zombie apocalypse.

On the surface, being a geeky girl has few social advantages. But what happens when the entire fabric of society breaks down, because people start turning into zombies? That's when you'll be glad to have us around. We don't like to brag, but geeky girls are pretty well-versed in zombie movies and books. Consequently, if you're faced with a moaning horde of incoming death, we'll know (theoretically) how to handle ourselves - step 1: acquire a blunt instrument capable of bashing in heads. Plus, as Mr. Darcy found out in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, girls who boast an impressive number of zombie kills are pretty hot. So when the zombie apocalypse hits, you won't have to worry about protecting us, though we appreciate the effort. Give us a frying pan, and we'll kill the zombie for you and then make you breakfast.

Reason #3: You don't need to take us to see romantic comedies.

Don't want to see that new Kristen Bell movie, because the romantic leads have the charisma and chemistry of Wonder Bread? Well, neither do we. In fact, if you want to ogle at giant robots crashing into each other or angels wielding machine guns, we are completely down with that. We'd even prefer it (not least because sci-fi movies - with the exception of Transformers - typically boast a really hot, bad-ass leading man.)

Reason #4: We're smart.

Everyone knows that intelligent women are sexy. Geeky girls happen to be a subsection of that category. Most geeky girls tend to be avid readers, and many of us apply those skills of literary analysis to movies as well. So if you need a woman who is imaginative, curious about the world, and has the ability to bring the snark about Avatar to a tepid dinner conversation, a geeky girl is your best bet.

Reason #5: We love technology too.

We like to obsess about newfangled gadgetry as much as the next boy. In fact, Best Buy and Future Shop are like playgrounds to us. Now why can't boys view H&M in the same way?

Reason #6: Did we mention the role-playing?
