I think most of us spend MOST of our time on line these days! As most of us just can not afford to go out and socialize.


basically its expensive to go out and drink, socialising is actually free....

shame that there arn't many oter options...

Unless you are not close to one...

Though I've always loved the wild moors (not that I'm close to those anymore, so the peek district will have to do)

geeks pwn.

for sure.

although where it is true that geek is the new chic, it is not that simple. it's not like if you look like a total norman you get respect. that's not true. it's a kind of cleaned up, beautified geek style, that is mainstream. you need to be wearing £100 designer glasses, have your hair eloquently styled in a boutique, to parody the common geek 'lack of effort' look, while actually putting in a whole lot of effort. also, you kind of need to wash your clothes and stuffs. yeah.

however, all geeks come with the inbuilt potential to totally pwn normal guys, with their extra intelligence, and like someone mentioned before, the ability to really think hard and try hard to please a girl, instead of just please themselves.

geek power. for sures.

all your girls are belong to us.

I believe on this occasion that would have been me. Okay. They may not all be, but from actually reading this thread, I'm bowing to the fact that the consensus seems to be that we are talking about intelligent geeks (ie. programmers, computer science graduates, as opposed to rodney from slough who collects miniature trains and still has a favourite breakfast cereal, which, if not received every morning, will reduce him to tears). If I'm wrong, my humble and deep apologies for offending you so horrifically. Smile

In a way that is the distinction I'm trying to make myself. There is a difference between being a 'geek', ie. someone who dresses in trendy geekish clothes, has a high paying job, and knows a lot about computers, or is knowledgeable in their field, and intelligent enough to excel in it, and a 'geek', ie. someone who is devoid of social skills, and obsessed with some interest that turns the very word 'interest' into a misnomer, since it is of interest to no-one else but themselves.

I think the former is more common to be honest. Most people I know who I would consider geeks, are very intelligent, caring, funny people. They just happen to have spent less time developing social skills than they did developing technical skills, or writing their own games in BASIC. Whatever.

These particular people might even write needless lengthy replies on forums, to single-sentence posts, for no reason other than because they have nothing else to do on a Thursday night.

Not that I would know.

I'd recommend Guild Wars by the way. Wink

WoW is just too good, and has completely taken over the lives of a few friends. I find that I can play Guild Wars, really enjoy myself, and then turn it off whenever I want and go out and meet people. WoW had me for a month, non-stop, until I finally deleted it, deciding I preferred having a life.

Anyway. This isn't Online Gamers Anonymous. ^^
