Um, how about these three questions?

1. Who do geek girls tend to want to date?

2. Who do geek girls tend to date for short periods of time?

3. Who do geek girls tend to date for long periods of time/marry?

I ask because the geek girls I have known have not tended to like dating in the geek community, and many have tried to branch out into the athletic or military circles.

I completely misread the title!. I thought it said, "Ask a Greek girl" and for once I was happy that this was finally an "ask a ____" thread that I could enjoy.

I am slightly disappointed now, if I am honest!.

Anyhoo, now that I am here I guess I should ask a question..

..

Ah!. I got one..Have you ever lost the game?
Cuuuuuuuuuursssssseeeeeeeeeesss! I just lost the game...

I don't really consider WoW players or casual gamers "real" gamers either but just because you haven't met a "real" gamer girl doesn't mean they aren't out there.

If you have met these people on the internet, have you tried going out with them in the real world?

Also, if I were you, I'd ask myself if a deep interest in gaming is something that's absolutely crucial in the person you're looking for.

At any rate, don't give up just because you haven't succeeded yet, so to speak.

I dated a girl who was just like me, it didn't end well. Too similar means (for example) you are both too stubborn to call the other back, and so on, and so forth.
I've never met anyone who was exactly like me so I can't comment, but yeah, I've heard people say that before.

1. We(at least I, and most I know) want to date Geek Boys who we think would also make good Boyfriends, or if you're my very, very american friend, the one with the most hypnotic accent.

2. The ones who don't figure out how to treat us like a girl without insulting us. Yes, we're geeks, but once we start dating you we don't expect to continue to be treated like one of the guys. That's just a little bit weird, if you think about it. Do you want your guy friends snogging you? And suddenly pretending you're the protagonist of a Video Game out to rescue the Princess doesn't win you any points either.

3. This one is mostly a compatibility and commitment thing. We want to fall in love with and marry the guy who wants to do the same with us, and a lot of geek boys fall a bit short of this dream simply because it sometimes seems to us like while they're oodles of fun to be around they're not thinking about the future. When a Geek Girl's ready to settle down and look at you and only you for the rest of her life she wants some assurance that you've made room for her in your life between all the mass of things Geeks have to do. I think more Geeks are willing to do that than it appears, but an overabundance of communications skills are not a staple of the Geek community and I've seen many a Geek couples fade because they forgot to connect as people and not just through their interests and a mutual fascination with each other's archetype.

... are you hot? JOKE SORRY SORRY (dont answer) heh

ok seriosly this time Ive gamed (Im male) since I was about 2 years old maybe a lil younger (Im 27) my brother started about the same time as me roughly I think (he's 3 years older) we both like our games and still play to this day

my sister (a year older than me) isnt a big gamer despite me and my brother getting her to try now and then

she games a little these days but barely

and heres the question
how come my sister isnt a gamer? she had 2 readily available gamers growing up so easy access to consoles games and people to play against/with
clearly its in the dna (me and my brother) whats going on?

any take on that? are you an only child? was there any sibling influance on your life as a gamer?

(sorry for the bad grammer not my strong point)
I'm not an only child, I had a brother Gamer who was eight years older than me, and I've seen a lot of girls get discouraged by having gaming siblings because sibling rivalry is rough and they'd rather move onto something they have an easier time winning at, because it is a bit more challenging for us to invest the time and attention it needs to kick brotherly asses. And there's the whole "other girls think it's weird" thing. Never underestimate peer pressure.
I have a brother gamer too, but he's only 3 years older than me. I used to really look up to him.
I guess that's how I got into it.

We read. A lot. You know how hard we study for tests that we could fail and still get a B? Imagine how much harder we're going to study something we're seriously interested in.

...... I have difficulty myself finding other geek girls. (I've developed a radar, I can sit in a mall and rate how geeky passersby are. It's a fun game if you're bored.) On the internet, I notice a lot hide in play-by-post RP forums, and in real life try bookstores and look at local clubs. Barring that, I find it best to take mildly geeky girls and giving them gateway books and games to draw them into the fold. It's a slow process but usually worth it.
I hung up my Geek Coat a few years back, got fit, travel the world investigating castles of Europe, and dating semi-intelligent yet interesting models, but always secretly wish for a geek girl. Could you impart any 'draw them into the fold' manuevers I might try on my model girls with a super-mild geek side to turn them into the perfect woman?

High school is to be endured. My HS experience got clipped a bit when I was disemboweled senior year, but overall I got lucky in the friends department and managed to have *some* fun. And no, I don't hide my nerdy side. I'm plastered in geeky t-shirts about 80% of the time.
What do you mean by 'disemboweled'?
I had to get surgery that removed bits of internal organs. I even have a nice manly scar.
What prompted the surgery?

Perhaps i dont under you or your not understanding me but "go out with them in the real world?", i cant exactly get a plane trip to the other side of the world for the possibility they 'might' be interested in me. Not exactly an easy solution, though establishing a permanent residence in another part of the world in a few years is always an option.

You know i have already asked myself what i find to be crucial in a relationship. My conclusions, is that gaming is something i have a passion for (and since the culture i exist in seems to either find disgust or acceptance with gaming i figure that is something which would be a requirement). I have established little care for much else. I figure that in the grand scheme of existance, my part is so insignificantly minor that all that can be done is, to quote Americans, "the persuit of happyness".

Regardless of right or wrong these are the conclusions i have drawn. Hence gaming to be a necessary shared passion. There is always of course, that the possibly of someone which i am social compatible with dispite gaming being a non-issue. In my experience though people find my level of gaming (if not a plus) is a major turn-off or enough to push outright rejection. Casual gaming seems to be acceptable but not someone who shares it as a lifestyle choice, go figure.

While "giving up" is an absolute i cant see myself actually looking for someone with whom to share with but instead muddling my way through life like so many others.
