Columnist Says Nerdy Guys Make Better Lovers

[matcom]

<snip>

Christina Aguilera recently traded in piercings for petticoats, apparently making the usual Marilyn Monroe morph. But there's more than meets the eye: Sure, she's blond, buxom and sweet-voiced now, but she's also emulating the classic bombshell in matters of the heart.
You see, Aguilera's fiance, like Monroe's husband, playwright Arthur Miller, is kind of a geek.

When Aguilera announced her engagement to smarty-pants music executive Jordan Bratman in February, the 24-year-old pop star demonstrated a tried-and-true dating trick. Geeks have got the goods.

Bratman, with his scrawny frame and oversize ears, has mastered the music industry at just 26 and is Romeo enough to have stolen Aguilera's heart (as well as inspired her new demure-coquette look).

"A nerd is an excellent provider and a guy who puts you first," says E. Jean Carroll, Elle magazine's love and sex advice columnist. "He'll turn out to be a great father and a great husband."

And, she insists that a woman who is willing to stick it out with a nerd and get past his quirks will be handsomely rewarded. "Don't give up on him too fast," she said. "If you stick with him, he's going to turn out to be really great."

If Hollywood is any indication, then yes, he will. This month, reality TV celebrates geek love with two shows: Ashton Kutcher's "Beauty and the Geek," which pairs braniacs with bimbos for a "social experiment," and the latest installment of "Average Joe," in which a pretty girl woos not-so-studly dudes (airing on June 22).

1. Wasn't this theory proven in "Revenge of the Nerds"?

:D

Geeks of the world, unite!

[gmoney]

5. "All jocks ever think about is football...

"...all nerds ever think about is sex." -- Robert Carradine, Revenge of the Nerds (in response to the question from Betty the cheerleader "Are all nerds as good (in bed) as you?"

[In_The_Wind]

2. sometimes they do

:evilgrin::woohoo:

[Bunny]

3. I agree with this theory.

Nerds rule!

[NewJeffCT]

4. I knew playing D&D would pay off!

And, even my ex-wife would never say I treated her badly...

[petronius]

31. Your title reminded me of some of these old

fake cybersex transcripts (Humorous text-porn at link):

...
BritneySpears14: I kiss you softly on your chest.
bloodninja: I cast Lvl. 3 Eroticism. You turn into a real beautiful woman.
BritneySpears14: Hey...
bloodninja: I meditate to regain my mana, before casting Lvl. 8 Cock of the Infinite.
BritneySpears14: Funny I still don't see it.
bloodninja: I spend my mana reserves to cast Mighty F*ck of the Beyondness.
...

[NewJeffCT]

32. I can picture a couple of guys I know as "bloodninja"

Sad, but true. At least I'm not one of them.

[VelmaD]

6. This shit cracks me up

Some of the nerdy guys I know are hot too. There's an IT guy at my agency that I'd like to throw up against a wall and molest. There are other guys in his department that I wouldn't touch with a 49 foot pole. :shrug:

Why don't I ever see anything telling hot guys how much better off that's be with a geeky girl? :eyes:

Simple, because the media doesn't go around trying to tell guys what they want and how to think all the damn time. I wish they'd leave us gals alone and let us make up our own damn minds about what we find attractive.

[Patiod]

8. Oh, sure they do

How else do you think those ugly fake-looking pneumatic breasts and the shaved-everywhere look got so popular? The media (including porn) might not tell<\i> guys what they want, but they show them what they should want.

[unsavedtrash]

7. Not sure about the guys but nerdy girls are hot and make my heart pound!!

:loveya:

[asthmaticeog]

12. I hear you.

I'm a total chump for the mousy bespectacled librarian look, even if it's totally affected.

Then again, I'm a big geek myself, so it might just be a weird form of self-flattery!

[Allenberg]

14. Knowledge is indeed very sexy.

[SarahB]

28. Someone recently called me a...

"nerdy ultra-super-vixen"

I liked that. :D

[aeolian]

34. indeed

a girl who can really work her calculator is hot!

[underpants]

9. Uh no Christina just changed her trolling area

She, seems to me, appears to be used goods in her old playground.

[Magrittes Pipe]

10. Nerdy guys need love too.

[jswordy]

11. Unanswered question: Is the author a nerd? n/t

[asthmaticeog]

13. Authors are nerds pretty much by definition.

Duh. :eyes:

[jswordy]

21. Oh I would disagree totally!

Hunter S. Thompson
Jack Kerouac
JD Salinger

...just 3 examples who come to mind right away

[SarahB]

15. Men with brains do anyway.

"Nerd" is so subjective. It may be someone who doesn't fit into some fake standard and is actually human. It may be the product of the bizarre anti-intellectualism that exists in the US. All I know is I don't like vacuous morons and have at times in my life had people say "Why are you with that nerd?".
I guess because

[Deja Q]

16. Well, my doorbell hasn't been rung yet. (or my chimes for that matter!)

:D

[eyesroll]

17. Nerds rule.

:thumbsup:

[underpants]

18. Uh ... .... .... yeah

19. "Geeks have got the goods."

Eeeeyup!

[Hugin]

20. Shameless Self-promotion Kick.

:kick:

[unsavedtrash]

22. I do prefer to be in the company of nerds. Maybe because I am one

[kmla]

23. Woo Hoo! Hear that, dudes?

I soon will be swimming in female companionship!



Envy me, loser boy!

[Orsino]

24. Is this any different from any other marriage for money?

Is she seriously patting herself on the back for not marrying the movie/pop star?

[undeterred]

25. "A nerd is an excellent provider and a guy who puts you first"

And if the nerd isn't rich is he still a better lover?

[swag]

26. Geeks read up on the yoni. All that tantric shit.

Mind-blowing orgasms at the hands, tongues, and linghams of sexually clued-in geeks.

[Blue-Jay]

27. Nerdy guys ALWAYS say that!

:freak:

[purr]

29. I've nearly always dated nerdy guys...

I even married a part-nerd :) I dated assholes and found the nerdy ones to be the best (treat you right, dont cheat on you, etc..). Not saying that EVERYONE does that, but from MY experience, nerd is the way to go.

[Mrs.Matcom]

30. Gee Matcom

I really never thought of you as a nerd, but if the shoe fits...:evilgrin:

[aeolian]

33. Now, if someone could've explained this to the girls in my high school

I would have been set.

But it's ok now. The jocks now work for me, mostly flipping my burgers and pumping my gas. And I got a hot redhead for a lover. :toast:

[Briarius]

35. kick for this important news

:evilgrin:

[KG]

36. my secret has been exposed!!!

so to speak...

[neuvocat]

37. Hm. So musicians and hairstylists are nerds according to the article.

And for that matter so are playwrights. Interesting. I guess the meaning of the word "nerd" is completely different from what it used to be.
