Is Your Wife a Hot Geek?

In reading ‘How to Turn a Hot Chick into a Geek,’ I realized that it’s an impossible task. Either the female was borne with a geek gene, or she’ll fight those natural geeky tendencies because of the pressures laden upon her by society.

My wife, Ponzi, is not a geek – she doesn’t want to be a geek, and no matter how many items I try to cross off my “how to get her to be a geek” list, she won’t budge. You can’t force a femme fatale to do anything. Some of my friends have had better luck:

But Chris, my hot chick is already a geek. I'm sure you can sympathize. – Spinn

Yeah – mine is too! :D Some of us are just lucky. – Tad Donaghe

I feel gifted. My gf is not only a hot chick, but an anime-loving, Japanese/Mandarin/Cantonese/Taiwanese-speaking, videogame playing (to the point of being more agressive in tactical games than I am) geek girl. It has its moments. – Alexander Williams via NoiseRiver

I can proudly say that my GF is so geeky, she is considered more manly then the guys in our office :-) – Alexander Kucera

My girlfriend can explain Microformats! :-P – Pat Hawks

Oh Hell, I think we're having a dicksize war over girlfriends. I almost think I need to Godwin myself … – Alexander Williams via NoiseRiver

the wifey is a Linux hacker, super coder/math geek… sob :) yes I know how it feels – Dave Q

I can’t get Ponzi to laugh at my Monty Python references, sit down and watch one of the original Star Wars movies, or readily admit that Captain Picard was *WAY* more awesome than Captain Kirk. All things considered, I’m happy to have a hot chick for a wife – geek or not.
