Today, my team had an offsite. We went to lunch at a pizza place and followed that up with three friendly games of laser tag. While at the laser tag place they surprised me with a birthday cake. How sweet. I think I finally narrowed down the kind of man I want. A social nerd. There are some guys on my team that aren't "hot" or even traditionally "attractive", but they have such awesome personalities. They are really funny, very smart, and super nice guys. They are also very interesting people. And guess what, I have fun with them. One of these social nerds, started talking about how he wanted to be a scientist who studied birds, and proceeded to do a "bird word" for the American Swallow. That's really interesting.
The social nerd is a creature of many diverse interests, but still recognizes common humor and also makes jokes himself. This guy is really fun and I feel like I'm starting to get it. I'm starting to understand what it is I need. Turns out its not the 6'2'' guy with the green eyes and dark skin. But its the smart guy who totally makes me laugh. And who cares if others don't think he's hot. He just has to be attractive to me. These men on my team are off limits of course, but I can see myself really starting to become attracted to them if I spent more time with them and they weren't off limits. I can't believe I didn't realize this before. I'm hopeful that there are more social nerds in silicon valley. Not to be confused with the socially-awkward nerd. Those guys are no fun. And the hot business school types need not apply, because those guys ultimately have too much confidence and think just cuz a sista makes a joke about sex, she's going to automatically give it up. Sorry honey, I'm saving myself for the social nerd of my dreams...

Woo-hoo! Now you know why I fell for my man -- the social nerd is loyal, romantic & thoughtful, as well as charming & witty.
Speaking of which, has his friend contacted you yet?
No, he hasn't...unless he works for HSBC collections...you can email him this post if you'd like.
well, im not quite sure what to say about this. im still holding out for the tall dark and handsome asshole who will treat me badly for longer than 2 weeks.
i guess we can compare notes in 10 years when you are just about to divorce your social nerd in your expensive home (still driving your '95 civic) and i am still in single bliss here in the oc.
Its a 97' jerk. Don't patronize me.
And yes, thats the upside to the social nerd, especially here in silicon valley, chances are he'll be rich. And so will I. Especially after alimony.
