Dating a Nerd: Pros and Cons

Nice guys don’t always finish last. The nerdy, nice guy types are certainly worth dating. But of course, there are always pros and cons.

PROS CONS
Your parents will love him Your friends won’t get him
He’ll compliment you until you feel queasy At least one of your kids will look like him
You could be the next Mrs. Microsoft On your second date he’ll take you to a sci-fi convention
You will always be able to kick his ass If you’re mugged on the street he’ll say “Scottie, beam us up”
You won’t have to defrag a hard drive again He will spend more time with his USB port than you
