Last night I helped out at a Singles Event put on by
SweetOnGeeks.com. Where was this website 5 years ago? The event was held at a local comic shop (
Heroes Aren't Hard To Find)and despite the worries that it would be all males there were an equal number of females there. Yes! Girls can be geeks. Thankfully the stigma of geek is falling away as geeks become a bit more mainstream. Geeks are banding together thanks to the internet. Sites like
theforce.net,
theonering.com and
mugglenet.com (to mention a few) have gained popularity through their fandoms. Comic books are no longer seen as silly but are now becoming more and more popular as the movie industry turns what people have been reading into larger than life images. People are finding out that those D&D players aren't just sitting in their mother's basement munching on cheetos, drinking Mt. Dew and casting Magic Missile. These are incredibly smart folks who make a good living and have a rich imagination that often lets them become published authors.
As a person who is a product of geek love found on the internet I highly recommend to singles that you get out there and take some chances. Sign up at sweetongeeks.com and see who might match up with you. If you make a connection online find a safe place to meet up like at a Singles Night at a comic shop or a convention. Just be sure to wash the cheetos stains of your hands before you go out.
