Love... Is it bad for geeks?
When I'm alone, I can learn new technology for life, embracing total geekiness. But, sure enough, when I'm in love, I lose track of who I am as a geek, suddenly I can't program or read a book on networking and other geeky stuff. Being in love is just bad for my geek-ness.
Do you guys/gals feel that way too? Or did "Love" actually help you becoming a better GEEK?

Love just inspires me to become a better geek. Maybe its all about being able to impress the one I want to be with. Sure does put you in a state where you find yourself not being able to focus more but still its a great feeling. Plus there will be someone you can share your GEEKiness with. Spells a whole lot of fun. Yaay!

I totally agree with ya Rafael and thanks for bringing this up my friend Harold.
Love make everything in life run smoother. Not just between men and their women but with everyone. When we have love in our hearts, we can forgive, we can accomplish more, touch more lives with tenderness.
Being in love is about the most awesome feeling going when things are right. When they aren't, it will tear your heart out.
We all need to learn to forgive even if we are hurt in love. People are people. We gotta love them no matter what.
Harold, I am so delighted for you. I just hope she deserves the awesomeness of you. I just bet she does considering who you are as a man. I know that I love ya.

Well this year I have been home schooled, and basically I'm home alone all day, and by being so alone I've learned so many new things and my geeky-ness has sky-rocketed. When I actually have a social life that all dumbs down and I become more "normal". I imagine love would have that similar effect only even worse lol.

its good and bad.
at least for me it is anyways. like it has gotten me to be i guess "geekier" and get my priorities in order but it has caused me so much heartache/headaches that it will counter act whatever and instead just make me a useless mess.

Two words: Geek Girl!
When two geeks hook up - things actually get geekier. We start feeding off each other's "geek energy" - and if our particular quirks don't end up pushing the other away, then it's pure bliss.
Sadly, my last GF was just as much of a geek as I am - but a few of my little quirks didn't sit well with her (and vice versa).
But remember - if it's TRUE, then Love will find a way to make it work ;);)

That is definitely a good option! Hard to find geeks that are compatible with you though. Geeks to have their own "quirks" that are annoying. I know I have those.

Depends on the person, for me personally it has always been about sacrificing my time (precious) travel (precious) hobbies (precious) playing time (precious) and oh my freaking God taking her out tonight has cost me 300 bucks (PRECIOUS)
If you're understanding that relationships are about sacrifice, then no biggie. However that has to be one incredible woman for her to get so high on my priority list- problem is it'll usually take you weeks-months to figure that part out.

That's what I was talking about, Sacrifice. I spend my time with the person I love, because either I really do want to spend time with her, or I just feel guilty not spending my time.
300bucks! Wow, man. In the Philippines that's like 300 Hamburgers(That's my currency=) )

i couldnt live without love, but it does distract me from being geeky, for me i just need to have a balance, spend some time with my gf, but then i need some geeky time, unless my gf is geeky as well, then i dont worry about the love distract thing

Well sometimes your stuck between a rock and a hard place. If you don't hook up with a geeky person then your interests go unseen, but then its also understanding/respecting that someone elses interest will not always be the same as yours and theres nothing wrong with that. There needs to be a balance.
Also if your 2 geeks hooking up, you'll probably be too like eachother and that never works out either. U know there will always be one geek that thinks he/she is smatter than the other or one that would crack jokes and just be more dorkier (stupid) and the other person is always left to feel bad. Then being the same has just gone out the window. Pretty simple except those for who they are and find a balance and you will enjoy being the ONLY GEEK even more.
LOve? NOt bad for us at all ! i love being the only GEEK in the house!

i think people just try to hard, sometimes when you don't try, things just happen, i'm a technology geek, who married a band geek (um, and yes, she did play the flute, but didn't do what the chick in the movie did), i got married at almost 28, which is late considering most people i went to school with have done been married and divorced
