Yes, there is a right way to go about it.

(*And yes, this article is aimed at straight nerdy men trying to date nerdy women.)

To some, we are a thing of legend, to others, vile thots whose only goal is to capture the hearts of men and make a pretty penny selling our bath water. To most we are fake, don’t actually like nerdy things, and are clearly trying to bid for male attention. However, we do exist, many of us are attractive, and as a whole we are largely sought after while being hideously misrepresented.

Before I can tell you where to find us or how to date us, we must first establish WHY you want to date a geek girl. After speaking to various people who are searching for their player 2, I have found that it typically boils down to 3 things.

  1. The want to be with someone that shares common interests. (Unfortunately, because video games are still largely seen by the media and many parts of society as a waste of time, the pursuit of them or other geeky interests can sometimes be detrimental to romantic relationships. Which leads me to point 2…)
  2. The belief that no one else will understand them.
  3. Entitlement.

If you’re rocking 3 as your reason, please evaluate why you feel that you are entitled to someone’s time, attention, and love. Next.
