I’m really rather geeky, you know. I read lots of scientific books about science. I like to make computer programmes. I enjoy comic books. And all of the other geeky type stuff. But you know what irritates me?
She doesn't really exist.
You know why? Because this is what happens when women enter the nerdsphere:
* You have entered #geekchat
<Darkone> no I haven’t tried the 64-bit version.
<grampy> I haven’t noticed much difference tbh
<Darkone> i guess I could always chroot it if i had any problems
<grampy> pfft, chroot jails are for girls
* Darkone is a girl
<grampy> zomg rly?
<lolohnoes> show us ur boobs lol jkz not really jkz
<somedood> hey your whois says you’re from NY, wanna hook up some time? jkz
<DeadSeven777> hey there’s a girl in here
<grampy> lol somedood. but Darkone maybe i could help you out some more if you have problems
<lolohnoes> Darkone: check pm
* Darkone has left #geekchat
<somedood> godammit
Geek women exist, sure. But let’s be honest about it. The geeksphere is almost entirely a meat-swinging contest. When I talk about geeky things, my girlfriend zones out and falls into a coma so deep that The World’s Most Bottomless Pit starts feeling threatened. My experiences are pretty much par for the course for most of us geeky males. I really should start a webcomic where the female lead isn’t some sort of idealised perfect nerd-babe who has a tedious will-they-won’t-they relationship subplot with the male lead. But would anybody read it? I think I lack the humour crystals to pull it off. OH WELL.
You has a blag! This is probably going to be the only entry I understand enough to comment on, right?
I apologise for not being a geekbabe. I only hope the size of my megazorbs make up for it. I think you could do such a comic! Just think of real conversations we’ve had, or you could include stuff like the ’sudo make me a sandwich’. And of course the ‘h8 h8 h8′ one where you have to reformat me or whatever.
You’re perfect just the way you are, toots. A web-comic might be a good idea. So long as I can learn to draw stuff with a graphics tablet that doesn’t look like it was done by a two-year-old.
