Kyronea just posted an article about why we haven't found advanced aliens yet. The original author speculated that it's because high-tech civilizations become so obsessed with self-entertainment, they get too much into VR sex and too little into real sex.

This warrants a poll. Do geeks (Ok let's limit to Science and Tech geeks for this one, not Comic/RPG geeks) ever get laid? I include such geeks of all ages, metal-braced teens and multibillionaire TechnoKings alike.

geeks are the ones who have the supermodel g/f's, because of all their money. so i say yes...

Does having sex with robots count?

I once had a conversation with a friend that relates to this, considering I'm a supergeek:

Friend: all of my casual sex has gone out the window
Me: All of my casual sex never existed.
Friend: Your casual sex is battery operated
Me: There is nothing casual about something that occurs every night.
Me: That... is a commitment.
Friend: HAHAHHHAHAHAAHA
Friend: god bless you

im workin on it........... o well, back to CS

Sci-geek checking in. That's affirmative, *over*.
For the thinkers, guile can get you where personality, humour, and looks have obviously failed spectacularly (probably due inadequate measure of one/most/all). Don't disregard $, though. Remember, sci can pay good.

Yes, we get married too.

Does having sex with robots count?
Depends on if you're receiving or not. Well, perhaps not.

It depends on whether or not they finish their robot. :D

Does having sex with robots count?

No.

I did, eventually. It's now been awhile since the last time I got any, but oh, well. :headbang:

Yes, we get married too.


The hell we do.

To answer the question, they do. You just don't hear about it, because like everyone else, we do it but never talk about it.

Stereotype says no, personal experience says yes...me thinks personal experience is more trustworthy.

Yea, them Science and Tech geeks do get laid, but it takes awhile...and $. Those Comic and RPG guys however might have to level up for some time.

Ani got distracted by Amidala. For the living, it was either her, his mom, or Watto. :eek:

It tends to piss her off, actually.

Deep inside every geek's heart, when we see ordinary geeks like us matched up with hot random superbabes, we think "YOU GO, TIGER! Show 'em hot mamas that geeks can hump like a stallion. YEAH!"

*Tear in my eye*

Depends on how much they work as a group, and when needed, their ability to tackle seperate tasks independently.

Do Geeks Ever Get Laid?
You've got to remember one thing: There is undoubtedly a lot more geek-on-geek action going on behind the scenes then anyone cares to admit. ;)

Really? Having a partner decreases your geekiness even if your geeky habits don't change all that much? :confused:

Don't encourage him. He might go blind someday and that will be on your hands, brother.

Whoo hoo! I've been promoted to Quite Deadly (Three Chocky Bars)!

Bill Gates is a pimp.

Lay off Bill Gates. Although he has given millions of dollars to prostitutes it generally has been so they can get some health education access to condoms.

He gives money to prostitutes instead of taking it and keeps them out of hospital instead of putting them there, which would sort of make him an anti-pimp.

I want to be as rich as Bill Gates so I can help prostitutes too.

She's 46 years old, born 29 March 1960 according to Imdb (http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0000642/) :cool:

Hmmmm. For some reason I see two geeks with braces sharing a long lascivious tongue kiss and then getting their braces accidentally hooked together until the paramedics have to come with the Jaws of Life to cut them free of each other.

Since when do glasses make you a geek? As far as I know, being a geek means being generally unattractive, socially inept and way above average in some specialized field shunned or ignored by most of society.

Now a nerd, that’s just somebody who has above average intelligence and doesn’t really have to be unattractive. Their interests and speech patterns are enough of a turn off for most of the opposite gender.

A dork is pathetic. Socially inept, unattractive, slightly above average to below average intelligence and possessing no talents whatsoever.

Muppet Show ROCKED! Still rocks. The two dudes are on a current T-shirt ("Old School") :D

You can't customize them in any fashion other than milestoning them. For example, i liked "Somewhat Deadly" just fine, but i ended up being a variety of other things instead. I might have just been "Possible SOF Spammer".

So, yeah, you'll save lives, build on the insight of life itself that will carry future generations to ever growing heights of achievement, and you'll develop your mind.

But you'll NEVER understand why a high Mythos Knowledge score is bad for your character's sanity...

Ah, a fellow "Call of Cthulhu" player!

So... You're trying to imply that you're a geek? And that you have a wife? And that you have seen the yellow sign? Tell me, have you seen the yellow sign?!

Heh...gotta love a game where a sizable faction of players belief in a strict "Don't read that, don't touch that, don't learn anything, don't look at that, I said DON'T EFFING READ THAT" policy.

I don't agree. Nice strawman, there.

What about "Flightplan"? Was he pivotal (although underplayed) in that?

I'm strained in finding many strong prominent roles for him. Could be my hind cataracts.

I'd imagine it's red, same as the Lancastrian rose.

Personal experience suggests that we live a lonely, wretched life involving nothing but the internet, and ultimately die as miserable bachelors.

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of "Old John of Gaunt, time-honour'd Lancaster, / Hast thou, according to thy oath and band, / Brought hither Henry Hereford thy bold son" from Richard II (I.i), but it's the thought that counts! :D

(oh, and mildly on topic, I'm a geek and I've never been laid. True story.)

EDIT: although I did get leid in a Hawai'ian airport once.

Not that it's a prereq measure of geekdom, but there was an extremely low probablity of me even guessing that, and that probability far overshadowed the exponentially smaller probability of me actually knowing it.
So you would be literary geek, or what? It kinda helps to know what to work with.

I'm working on it, but I can only do so much.

MMMmmmmmmmmm...geek lovin'... :P

Is that wierd?

Eh. More of a history geek, really, who appreciates Shakespeare's histories (and TOS trek). As this is more of a science geek thread, I'll just mosey along my way. *tips hat*

Are you talking about geek discrimination (never mind Gravlen - he's like that guy on Men In Black in the terminal)?
Hmmm.

I've actualy had fantasies of being a science geek. Sometimes I even tell people that history is really a [social] science in the hopes I could hang out with the Physics club. I keep Popular Science under my mattress and try to work through calculus problems under the covers.

Wait, wait, wait, hold on there a minute now, Hoss. Is that there a good thin' or a bad thin' yer sayin'? I ain't discriminatin' or nuthi'! I've even fancied geeks in the past! ;)

It's just soooo embarassing when I go to my favorite kind of parties and can't help try to replicate that gizmo Spock builds out of 1930s radio parts to view newspaper headlines from alternate futures.

Teach me the ways of the science geek, I beg of you!

As for the Spock gizmo, we're gonna have to get a fixable coordinate system for subspace before we're gonna get much of anything in that sense. But i do have an old robe i'm not using - i can tear off a strip and wear it as a headband!

That's a good start; better than my idea of saying you had an argument with some farm equipment.

Now if you can just get those colorful metaphors down, we should be set.

I better mention that said co-worker is doing a Bachelor of Science.
And she's majoring in bio-chemical engineering :fluffle:

I have parts that you can use for your system, yanked out of the hyperspace motivator using my hydrospanner while running the repulsorlift backwards.

Just give it a hard knock. It will roar to life.

A further extension of geekdom - out of Trek - is a cognitive discussion of the properties of a flux capacitor. I haven't seen a thread here yet about it.

Freddie Blassie, you ain't. :)

Can't remember seeing the green guy in my posts (- think I've avoided ever using him thus far, actually). As for the "Flake" - part, well, doesn't all generalites fall under that category? :p

Gundge domain is a skewed one, IMNSHO.

Flakes? Well, most of us. Of us who have admitted, can admit to, or should admit to NS being our social life. The rest are refined sociopaths with a cute little agenda.

Not without some Force. I have bad feeling about this.

Do Geeks Ever Get Laid?

Yes. Eventually. 69 59.48%

69, *giggle*

YES! I've finally killed a thread of my very own :D .

And with such an inappropriate comment too.

Nothin wrong with doing a geek. They can be a bit quick on the trigger, but they're enthusiastic! It's lovely.

I'm not sure if I ever fit in the realm of being a geek. Video game geek prehaps, but I degress. But, this is all to say that lames and geeks get laid. I'm living proof of that. :p

Kyronea just posted an article about why we haven't found advanced aliens yet. The original author speculated that it's because high-tech civilizations become so obsessed with self-entertainment, they get too much into VR sex and too little into real sex.

This warrants a poll. Do geeks (Ok let's limit to Science and Tech geeks for this one, not Comic/RPG geeks) ever get laid? I include such geeks of all ages, metal-braced teens and multibillionaire TechnoKings alike.
We will get laid! Eventually....

I am only turned on by geekiness, particularly in these forms:

- I.T. guys and 31337 h4X0r5
- sci fi nuts (particularly Star Trek, but I accept Stargate and Battlestar Galactica...Star Wars barely counts at all)
- math nerds are acceptable if they notice girls at all (a problem I have encountered more than once)

Ok man, lumping comic book geeks and RPGer is like lumping samurai and ninja together. While it is true that both are from Japan, and both use katana's, and both are adept fighters, the two are diametrically opposed. Ninjas are dissidents, Samurai were soldiers of the status quo. Ninjas wear black and are watching you right now, whereas samurai wore pointless bamboo armour and can't be watching you now (as they died out after the Meiji reformation).
My point is that RPGers are the superioir stealthy unconventional social rejects (with shurikens). Comic book types, however, are the institutionalised, conventional, babies of the system, variety of geek (with stupid not-shurikens kozuka things). The very idea of- ...
