The Geek's Guide to Love

How misogynistic! My girlfriend is an entrepreneur. She understands what I do perfectly well.

Learn to be mean. It’s not in our nature to be mean. We want to help everyone. But it’s exactly what you need when you don’t want to be pushed around. If you’re mean every once in a while, girls will stop seeing you as a usable object (see #7) and more as a potential partner that can equal them. This is the reason people tell you to learn to say no. Tip: playfully call them names every now and then.

Wtf? Why not slap her around while you're at it, I hear it teaches them females to pay proper respects and all. At least those of the author's species.

Here we go. This was ironic, firmly tongue in cheek, over the top, joking. No, I don't think "females" are "too dumb to appreciate what we do". I know plenty of women that are way smarter than I'll ever be. Most of the points in this article can be carried over to a female geek plus male non-geek relationship as well (check the comments).

FWIW, this had been given the green light and agreed with by a fair number of girls both before and after posting.

Now, everybody relax and don't panic. Don't take the ranting of a 18 year old nerdy boy as truth ;)

I have a friend, she's an MD. She once asked me to teach her programming and I said sure. Instead of starting to explain things to her I just wrote a relatively simple piece of code and asked her to tell me what it meant. I was truly surprised when the next day she did that almost perfectly. Of course she googled some basic things, yeah, but I was impressed by how a girl who had no prior training in programming figured it all out.
