I Married a Geek

"She's a Cheerleader and you've seen StarWars 27 times. You do the math."

There is much to envy about my life. I know. But, to be sure, the best decision I ever made was to marry Justin. Yes, we are from polar opposite worlds, but what difference does that make? Yes, his parents were shocked when he announced he was engaged, but what difference does that make? Yes, it took years of "explaining him" to my family, but what difference does that make? Yes, sometimes our friends and neighbors are curious as to how we ever got together, but what difference does that make?

I love my Geek and I'm very proud of him. So, in honor of our life together, I've decided to share some insight as to why I could possibly be so happy with this man who is so seriously misunderstood by most people.

Enjoy....

WHY GEEKS MAKE SUCH GOOD HUSBANDS

1. Geeks don't sleep around.

Geeks, through their higher IQ and therefore greater understanding of the tragedy of human condition, know that the dice only seem to have more sides on the other side of the table. Hence, they instinctively stay loyal to their lovers through thick and thin. Their social skills are also not well developed enough to support an affair, and frankly, geeks generally aren’t quite sure how they ended up with the wife they have attracted. When you marry a geek, you know the geek will be yours until you are done.

2. Geeks are not interested in status.

Geeks became geeks because they chose to spend their time doing things that would not necessarily make them popular with everyone else in school, like sports and fashion. The ability to resist peer pressure is important to a geek. This means that a geek is more interested in their or your happiness than looking good to others, which will come in handy when either (a) you need attention, in any sort ranging from the nurturing to the lascivious, and also, because both of those things are not necessarily unorthagonal dimensions, any combination of the two, or (b) you need to be rescued because it is the climax of a teen 80’s movie. Or both.

3. Geeks haven't formed bad habits.

The lack of past girlfriends allows the geek to approach his wife with the zest of the neophyte. Geeks are not full of romantic confidence; however, once coaxed from their emotional holes like tame bunnies, they are eager to please and enjoy their newfound relationship.

4. Geeks have excellent finger dexterity.

Geeks roll dice. Geeks play video games. Geeks flip pages in books. Geeks type a lot, and use characters like ~ and ^ and | that no one else has any use for. Geeks use calculators in postfix notation. As a result, a geek knows how to use his or her fingers to greatest possible effect.

So there you have it. No, I'm not really this clever. This is taken from an article Justin sent me called: "Awkward things I say to girls." But, it's hilarious and absolutely fitting to my life as "wife-of-geek". A title I uphold with honor. Love you Geek-o-mine!
