nerd dating
I have a friend who has tried online dating. It hasn’t been to no avail, her dates have given Us Bad Guys hours of entertainment, one took her out for sushi, and another cried. Yesterday she told me someone suggested she try Brainiac Dating: Where It’s Sexy To Be Smart. It’s a website where really smart people can date each other that is free and has no criteria to prove you are intelligent whatsoever. We thought we would further investigate to determine if there are any eligible bachelors for her. Here goes:
Dan, 24, Kansas City:
“My ideal first date would consist of a candid conversation over a stiff drink or hookah at the Jerusalem Cafe. Then we would proceed by walking down the street to watch a movie at the Tivoli and discuss its underlying themes and aesthetic value afterwards. Either that, or play the Wii till the break of dawn. The choice is your’s, ladies.”
Scott, 21, Indiana
“Hi smart girl : ) I might not be an Einstein, but I am a great guy. I’m open minded, but not so much I let my brains spill out.”
Actor, 42, Canada
“An ideal first date would be something spontaneous..drinking something cool or something hot, depending on the weather, preferably outdoors…somewhere green with good food…Lunch?”
Consensus: Don’t join. She will be sorely disappointed when a man picks her up for a date and says, “Would you like to drink something cool or hot? I thought the underlying theme in “The Ugly Truth” is that girls think with their brains and guys think with their dicks. Shall we?”
I think you may have forgotten some of the highlights of your friend’s experiences with online dating:
1- The man with the severed hand on his dashboard.
2- The man who suggested an Indian restaurant yet refused to eat–only watched her eat.
3- The man half way through the first glass of wine suggested walking (out on the tab) to another restaurant 1.5 miles away to a Lebanese restaurant that was cheaper. The glasses of wine were only $7 each and they were going Dutch.
4- The man who took her to a Twins game (can you say trapped for 2.5 hours?), then confessed at the end (as she had suspected 5 minutes into the date) that he was not the author of the funny/witty/intelligent email exchange of the past 2 weeks. He also told her that he was a recovering addict, therefore she could also not drink during the entire baseball game.
5- The man who suggested meeting for bubble tea (her first clue) and then was unable to make eye contact the entire 15 minutes she was there. He confessed that he was “working on being more social through his job as a phone operator.”
Maybe she should start a blog…
As the guy who recommended the site, I admit that brainiacdating.com doesn’t present the best of the best regarding guys, and I will for now on only advocate the best dating website, conjugalharmony.com.
Comment 1 person, try conjugalharmony, I think you’ll find what you’re looking for.
Maybe she should try Geek 2 Geek. http://www.gk2gk.com. The guys there aren’t any better socially, I guess, but they could be more her type.
@annebriated: how could I have forgotten all of those dates? I think you need to start a blog. now. You can start with Michael Matters.
“…drinking something cool…or something hot…”
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Let’s not get crazy.
@badguyhideout
I saw somebody with a “________ matters” Miller Lite t-shirt the other day, god I miss Michael…
