Where Dayaaaat?! Nerdy Conventions Are a Rainbeau Smorgasbord

they dont have the blog conventions in Boston Ma :(

love this post! smarties FTW!

Love it!! He had me at "BULLSHIT" lol!!! My sweetie is an Engineer as well!! Nerds rock! Who needs an athlete when they have a mathlete?

Hey Chris, I could have told you to hit those nerdy conventions years ago. It's always cute, and very obvious when the white boys take notices of the few female raisins in the bowl of milk ;)

This is was a self-esteem boost interview . I like it.

I too must concur with the role-playing, D&D, sci-fi, etc. nerdy guy as husband/father material.

FYI, Christelyn I am liking the Livefyre.

Christelyn you did a fantastic interview. You hit the "main" questions head on. I loved their responses when you mentioned some people saying that BW were undesirable. One guy without hesitation said "Bullshi--." Classic. I feel the same way.

Those guys are fine! I love a hip nerd. Intelligence is sexy ;)

This is great! I need to try this!

Let me just say I am so loving this new post format this rocks!

I know this comment has nothing to do with dating, but I happen to be in L.A. and a blogger myself. I wish I had a press pass, because like you, spending 1k on that conference was NOT going to happen. Glad you had a good time!

Well, now you've happened upon something that Asian women have known since, um, forever here in the USA. Nerds, even geeks, rule the economy in many sectors. White women, as recently as 2001, used to flock to medical conventions. However, the new ethnic and gender realities of medical practice have diminished that allure. Too many women and aseptic asexual [from their viewpoint] Asians. Too bad, Becky, time to go clubbing, I guess.

As an undergraduate Biomedical Engineering major, I interned at three different medical device companies. I was struck by the number of little Asian vixens that worked at each place in support positions, looking to marry the BSxE types employed therein.

One of my medical assistants scored a fiancé, along with her sister, by hitting enough cosplay events in the LA area. They went as some sort of twin anime pair. It worked, as a double wedding, in costumes, will occur in mid-February. One of the men is an MSEE for a defence contractor and the other is a Bio-statistician, something which requires a PhD and pays pretty well.

Off main topic but covered in the threads. I am not intimidated by strong women, partly because I'm too busy being turned on by them. The other reason is that I have been surrounded by strong women like my mother, sisters and grandmothers all of my life. If the opposite of strong is weak, then weak women have no appeal to me or any other rational man, IMO.

In addition to the cute vid, this post has re-affirmed my belief that nerds are the best people ever. Not speaking out of personal bias or anything. ;D

I'm glad you addressed this, Christelyn. My husband is a nerd and proud of it. He has a Masters in Math and Computer Science. He was also a band geek in high school which translates to him playing a mean baritone horn. He's a renaissance man, well-rounded and comfortable in his own skin. He never denied his nerdiness; in fact, he revels in it. I benefit in more ways than you can imagine. I always have the latest technological marvel (computers, phones, iPad, etc) and the guy can do anything. When he and I were dating, people used to wonder what I saw in him. Well, they don't wonder any more; my GFs are jealous and the single ones want a guy just like him. I definitely did something right in another life.

wow these guys are yummy!! and i found a link hope it helps :) http://blogconferencenewbie.com/conferences/

yes i agree, you do carry yourselves well and i am a bit intimidated haha

I must agree, one of my Black girlfriends who is the cutes’ little a southern belle is married to a White male nerd/geek. She is a stay at home mom who has a home-base part-time job. They have always lived in beautiful homes in affluent areas. My single black friends secretly refer to her husband as baby Bill Gates. LOL. This brings to mind an embarssing but mind opening event. My friend invited some singles and one "DBR" couple over for dinner. Me and my single friends complimented her on their beautiful home but keep our decorum. After a surveillance of the home The "DBR" wife asked right in the middle of the room what my friends’ husband did for a living. He was vague but mentioned something in computer technology. She then gave her shady "DBR" husband a dirty look. I was so embarrassed that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, btw I'm laughing as I type this. The car ride home it was very awkward. The "DBR" wife later told her husband that she wanted a house like that. Her husband didn't even graduate high school. The nerve. Well they later divorced and know he's on to his fifth wife who has multiple college degrees, great paying job and a nice home as well. I guess he was looking for an upgrade as well. BTW, he has only married black women with education and he is not even good looking. Go figure. So in conclusion nerds/geeks make great husband and fathers.

Before i even read this, God these dudes are cute and tall drool lol.

I'd like to point out that in some cases, just because a guy knows IT or earns good money in a professional field doesn't mean they are nerds 100%. I think people are much more versatile than that.

Quick example, me and a few guys who work in the financial district here in SF play lots of pick up games, lift weights 3 times a week, and I personally do 60 min of 400 meter sprint workouts on the weekends at Kezar stadium. We all were involved in sports back in our high school days and we hang out at trendy spots and have a good time. In other words, my friends and I are social, and we involve ourselves in both athletic, social, and work related endeavors.

Personally, I suggest the ladies to seek out balance in their men. Due to social conditioning, my father was a PURE nerd. He's NOT fun to be around with as he constantly looked down on all the great outdoors and social events. Go for the Social athletic nerd, or the nerdy athlete. They're much more fun to live and be with.

Another wife of an Engineer here. Well my husband is a computer network engineer, but you get the point. He was into D&D, anime, Star Trek, Star Wars, anything sci-fi/fantasy related, and video games. I'm also into the same things except D&D (I may get started once the kids get older). So yeah, geeky guys are not only very cute, they make wonderful husbands and fathers. It's like they're hot but don't know it and they have intellectual "swag", which to me is the best kind. I love a good sense of humor and a quick wit.
