There have been a lot of these lists lately, so I wanted to give my own top 10 reasons to date our kind of girls.

10. Geek girls know what’s going on in the world.
Politics, science, the latest gamer news — they’re on top of it. She’ll always have an opinion or some info to share on the world at large.
9. Geek girls make more money.
The smart girls can fend for themselves. They are resourceful and know more about business than your average girl (or boy).

8. Geek girls appreciate your decorating style.
Movie posters and action figures are acceptable decor.
7. Geek girls would rather go to Comic-Con than the Bahamas.
Just make sure you have your own hotel room to go to at the end of the day!
6. Geeks girls like smarts more than brawn.
She’ll be more impressed by your IQ and game stats than your sports scores.
5. Geek girls are family-friendly.
Parents love geeks. They exude an aura of responsibility, class, and general non-sluttiness that parents and grandparents enjoy.

4. Geek girls play dress-up.
Not only do they go to conventions, but a lot of the time they will be open to dressing up as things like Supergirl and Slave Leia. I’m sure you can imagine why that’s fun.
3. Geek girls are accessible.
And I mean that you will always be able to get ahold of them or know what they are up to. Email, blogging, Twitter, texting — they will be connected and reporting in at all times.

2. Geek girls will play video games with you.
Long walks in the park and dates to bad romantic comedies will be replaced with fighting game tournaments.
1. Geek girls don’t spend all their (or your) money on shoes.
More likely it will go towards comics, video games, or other things that you both can enjoy.
Do you have your own reasons to add to the list? Feel free to comment with them!
About the Author
Ginny McQueen grew up being that weird punk girl who played bass guitar and never showed up to school. She started along her geek ways when she began watching Sailor Moon at the age of 13. After that it just snowballed into making her the big geek she is today.
She’s been cosplaying (making and dressing up in costume) since 1998, winning 18 costuming awards, and now works for Cosplay.com - the world’s biggest cosplay site, and the number 1 cosplay supply store, cosworx.com. She also enjoys modeling, playing video games, watching all the best sci-fi shows, and the occasional good read. Also, bonus points for anything with British humor or dinosaurs.
Hailing from Philadelphia, PA, Ginny now lives in Las Vegas, NV with her boyfriend and their 2 cats. She’s often mistaken for a 14 year old, but she’s not complaining.
You can check out more of Ginny’s costuming, modeling, and her personal blog at GinnyMcQueen.com.

And a geek girl will help you fix your computer, car or whatever.
I can appreciate this list even from the outside, where reside the not-necessarily-geekified weird ones.
“… general non-sluttiness…” Bwaaahhhhhh
I’m going to have to re-evaluate my geek cred because I only have 4-5 of these qualities! I think I’m outside the circle with Maggie! :)
I don’t think all of them apply to everyone. Geek girls are all very different. :)
#9 definitely doesn’t apply to me. The rest are all pretty accurate, though. =)
I wish i had a geek girlfriend, mine doesn’t really give a crap about games ;_;
*laughs* Saw this from Alisa. I have to say, I love this! Though #4 and #1 contradict themselves in my case, as I spend waaaay too much money on shoes (and costume bits!) ;D
Very good list, I’d have to say every item on the list fits this Geek to a T.
Haha, awesome. I match most of the criteria. Except I’d rather go out for diner then play Soul Caliber with a date…nah, why not both? Take-out baby!
Now i want a geek girlfriend, dammit!
