However, I don't think single-minded is fair! Most "geeks" I'm acquainted with know more than technical mumbo jumbo!
I guess my question boils down to looks or brains? I am way more attracted to smart people that cute ones. NO REALLY!
The geek category of the smart people group is even better because of their perceptions of life and the world around them. Never a dull moment with a geek!! Smart guys that are geeky get that "aww how sweet" thing going for them in the looks department.
Your definiton is not clear. There are many groups that fall between your net: For example me: Most say I am a genius on that what I am doing: Programming, logical thinking and - if I am interested in the topic - Mathematics. But I do not have good marks. Because I am lazy and to apathic and the things I do not like, and I am some kind of weird ... (miaou :) )... So do not forget the default: statement in your man type switch.Quote:

So most people think you're a genius? Most people think I smile too much to have a master's degree in engineering... but I do... what do 'most people' know anyway? ;)
They know nothing. But there must be something behind it otherwise there wouldn't be any norms. To get back on the geeks: These are just fictive imaginations on how geeks should look like ... This is only prejudice and it is far away from reality. There are no geeks: There are just people with mental disseases and sometimes they are also interested in techniques. This is what a geek supposed to be. But a geek is just a look-down word that tries to catch every technique fan ... Like a base class that does not handle specified base classes. Forget the switch one... :D

BTW: How far have you gotten in the Stinkoman game?
