Nerds Make Better Lovers

This article is nearly two months old. A friend linked to it from his blog. However, after the subject came up in conversation this weekend, I sought out the link to add it here.

These quote comes from Spencer Koppel, a self-proclaimed geek and creator of "Geek to Geek" dating service. "I think geeks are more successful. They're happier in the work they do. And they're pretty faithful people, because they're certainly grateful for anything they have."

E. Jean Carroll, the love and sex advice columnist of Elle magazine, adds this observation: a girl couldn't do much better than a less-than-perfect male specimen. "We've all been to bed with the guy who is worried about what he looks like, checking the mirror before he gets in bed," she said. "The nerd, gloriously, stunningly, perfectly, is into the woman. That right there is very stirring, sexually."

Truly, this claim is based solely on opinion rather than hard, scientific evidence, but I it explains some attractions of the average guy. Hey, viewers of reality TV saw Anna choose Average Joe Nathan over Jock Rocky in the most recent season.
