11 reasons to date a female geek !

There have a been a couple of great top ten lists lately. First there was Maryamie's "In Defense of Geeks or Ten Reasons Why You Should Date a Geek" and then Sarah Blow's "10 Reasons NOT to date a Geek (unless they don't follow this pattern!)". Now Maryam uses her husband as a model, so her assumption that the geek in question is male might be forgiven. I more disappointed in Sarah, though, since she describes herself as a geek.

So, here are my 11 reasons to date a FEMALE geek [hat tip to Maryam]:

1) She can fix your computer and make a website for your new startup.
2) She has friends who can fix your computer and design a database for you.
3) She can program your mother's VCR and Tivo your favorite shows.
4) Her friends can program your mother's VCR and Tivo your favorite shows
5) She can fix your friends' computers.
6) She'll make you shine wherever you go -- how many of your friends are smart enough to date such a smart and useful woman?
7) She can pick out a the right cell phone/mp3 player/digital camera for you. Even better she can afford to buy it for you.
8) She'll be so happy that someone appreciates her for her real talents, that she'll adore you.
9) She won't cheat either. Given a choice between George Clooney and the newest tech toy, she'll take the toy.
10) Did I mention that she can fix your computer, make a website, design a database, install your cable modem and WiFi router, setup you iTunes for automatic download of your favorite artists, download your Outlook contacts onto the new cellphone/mp3 player/digital camera that she bought you?
11) And, she can cook dinner while doing all of the above.
