Why a Geek Will Steal Your Girlfriend in 2008

The rhetorical facade of these sorts of things always bugs me: the interviewer here is addressing the stereotypical jockish everyman when it's clear her audience is actually the same Geeks she's talking up. This is not a PSA designed to help anyone, its a verbal handjob that perpetuates the same geek vs. Jock stereotypes that haven't been insightful since Revenge of the Nerds.

Too bad this little geek promo is completely wrong. Chicks may get pissed at the jocks who forget their anniversary, but they'll never go for the geek unless they are money grubbing whores. They female fantasy man who is thoughtful, sensitive, and reads sex manuals is seen as "needy" in the real world, and that's never sexy. Even if she "dates" the geek, she'll be sleeping with the bastard who doesn't notice her haircut.

Revenge of the Nerds indeed.

Haha, what a load. Nothing like using sweeping generalizations to guide your life. A "geek" can be just as much of a self centered prick as a "jock" can. And as was comically pointed out people don't always go for what they say they want. I think that's part of the "grass is always greener" phenomena.
