<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>As discussed in the <a href="../2009/09/21/tech-events-are-the-new-meat-market/" target="_blank">previous post,</a> geeks can be awkward when it comes to social situations, especially talking to girls.  To be fair, I have included in this post a non-geek’s approach on how to get a girl.  At the end of the day, both the geeks and non-geeks are looking to meet the right person.  We all want that best friend who we can love and who loves us back.  Courting the opposite gender and trying to date were never formally taught to any of us.  We all had to learn it through our peers and environment, which played significant roles on how we interact in the dating game today.</p>
<p>Personally, I love geeks.  There’s nothing sexier than a stimulating mind.  Ok, I have to admit, sexy abs are amazing.  A body like <a href="http://frillr.com/files/images/David-Beckham.jpg" target="_blank">David Beckham</a> is a turn-on.  For men, it could be the body of supermodel <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Marisamiller.jpg" target="_blank">Marisa Miller</a>.  Obviously, exercising, being fit, and living healthy are all important to the SV Bachelorette and most other singles.  However, a stimulating mind is much more attractive than a body made of steel and perfection.  Anyone who has discipline can work out and have a sexy body; whereas being smart requires a bit <strong>more</strong> effort.  <a href="http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/" target="_blank">Tim Ferriss</a> is a very good example of this.  He’s a geek who transformed his image in less than four weeks to <a href="http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2007/04/29/from-geek-to-freak-how-i-gained-34-lbs-of-muscle-in-4-weeks/" target="_blank">an amazing, toned body</a>.  He now has the best of both worlds – smart mind and attractive body.</p>
<p>With all that said above, it really comes down to finding that compatible person.  What one may find awkward and annoying, may be lovable and endearing to another.  How to find that compatible guy or girl is all based on timing and survival skills in the dating jungle.  Dating is tough and sometimes more of a pain than what it’s worth.  We all thought that at one point or another.  However, each person we meet that is incompatible, we learn a new lesson on what to do or not to do.  It’s just one step closer to finding your <a href="http://img.visualizeus.com/thumbs/08/08/02/black,and,white,kiss,couples,hug,love,sexy-5e74d77066176d2a010accec7a8cd902_h.jpg" target="_blank">perfect guy or girl</a>.</p>
<p>Cheer up.  The non-geeks are equally as confused as the geeks on how to get a girl.  Want to hear it straight from the non-geek himself?  Yes, he’s a San Francisco local and normally hangs out in the <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/neighborhoods/sf/marina/" target="_blank">Marina</a>.</p>
