Chasing Coffee

An interesting correlation

A perennial topic among geeks is how much dating sucks. So I thought I'd add my little bit to the topic:

In Notorious C.H.O. Margaret Cho points out an interesting correlation between the Ren Faire, Leatherfolk, and Star Trek[0].

Now, I'm not saying that every geek fits this profile (I, for example, preferred Known Space to Star Trek). But, if you're a geek who's searching for a partner, you might want to consider looking in locations that depart from the norm a bit[1]. There are girls out there who prefer geeky guys[2], and if you were a boy scout you might actually get to use some of that stuff you learned[3].

[0] It wouldn't be nearly as funny if it wasn't true.

[1] I live in Los Angeles, so "norm" is a bit of a fuzzy term, especially in West Hollywood.

[2] No, really.

[3] Bowline: rabbit comes out of the hole, goes around the tree...
