As it makes its way across the blogosphere, I could not resist linking to the Ten Reasons Why You Should Date a Geek. Go read it, and then come back.
My metrosexualness, though, forces me to take exception to one of the items in this list.
6. Sigh…you really want more reasons to date a geek? Fine. Here’s one for your vanity. He’ll make you shine every where you go. No matter how clumsy your sense of style, no matter how awkward your social skills, you’ll be a fashion star and a classy diplomat next to your geek. He’ll make you look so good; you’ll fall in love with yourself.
I have to admit, I normally tend to look pretty darn good. When I have to look good, I make sure I look good–suits, business casual, or when kicking it in a pair of jeans. Heck, look at my shaving ritual. Of course, that is both my ego and vanity talking. But, c’mon now, I look good

Well at least you admit to being a Metrosexual.

George, I have never denied my metrosexuality, but I must admit I never quite announced it either.
I have now done so. Happy?

I’m a Purdue grad. I have BTDT; I second everything your link said about the merits of dating geeks said, and I add my own mighty AMEN. ;o)

Great! Now could you tell Zenchick to get off my back about being metro?
Also, you’re on blogging fire!

She should, really. She was there when I received the Metro Inquisition.
As for being on fire, nothing works better than getting me riled up at the office.

Most of the geeks I know are pretty well-dressed, nice-looking people. It’s the non-geeks who tend to lean to the..well…boring side. Ahem.
Now, musicians..they don’t know how to dress. How many tour T-shirts does one need to own in one’s lifetime????
FREE TO A GOOD HOME: WAY TOO MANY REGGAE FESTIVAL TOUR SHIRTS, SIZE L/XL, GET ‘EM THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE.
Sorry…I had a “moment”.
