The Oyster’s Garter

I like geek-boys. (Eric would be the first to confirm this). Being a geeky girl, nothing makes me happier than planning for the zombie invasion or speculating on BSG Season 4. But really, there’s no need to BUY nerd-love. Nonetheless, the Linux Users Group at Washington State University are auctioning themselves off. To sorority girls. In exchange for a makeover.

Now that’s just pathetic. I love me some PROUD geek boy, not some pathetic groveling sitcom-emulating geek boy. And there is nothing less attractive than the unfortunately common phenomenon of the Entitled Nerd. The Entitled Nerd feels like he deserve to date model-hot girls, regardless of his own charm or attractiveness. He ignores geeky girls with whom he actually has something in common and drools pathetically after stereotypical cheerleader types who he doesn’t even know. When he is inevitably shot down, he turns into the dread Nice Guy (sniveling about how girls just don’t LIKE nice guys) or the classic Misogynist (which I think may lead to the Women in Refrigerators phenomenom).

So, Linux lads of Washington, grow a pair. Gird your loins. Have some dignity. If you want to meet some lovely & nerd-esque ladies, I suggest you go to some fanfic conventions.
