Also, I was talking last night with one of the sound guys in my orchestra (he's still in highschool) and he talked about both Star Trek and anime. 'Twas amusing. Either way, I loved the article, Jeff, and thanks for posting it! But it’s completely amusing.

I also don't meet the junk food factor nor the online dating factor. In fact, do people actually date online? Yeah, all stereotypes. The only thing they remotely have right is the anti-social natures, which, like Norm said, is a property of some.

The author of the geek article seems to be confused as to what a geek actually is and, instead, just furthers the basic stereotype. I consider myself a major geek, and yet I haven't seen an episode of Star Trek in years; even then, I only watched Voyager, and only for a short time. I have no trouble understanding that not everyone is a geek and that, for many people, technology and videogames just aren't important. The article would lead you to believe that girls have to put up with the anti-social nature of that particular strain of geek that makes the rest of us look bad. We don't all wear shirts with logos and most of us could care less what Star Trek extra our girlfriend is like. Definitely not.
