        Back in my rock & roll days, my definition of the perfect girl was reasonably simple. Above and beyond the obvious desire to have her look good in high heels and a little black dress, I just wanted someone who enjoyed the creative & party lifestyle of a musician. These days, prompted in no small way by, er, lessons learned (no bunny jokes, please :)), I find that my requirements are a bit more in depth. Someone who is naturally happy and positive by nature (harder to find that it would seem), intelligent enough for deep conversation, and while she doesn't have to be a full on programmer, a little geekness would go a long way. I mention this just in case Santa is reading CP, of course. How 'bout you guys - at least the ones who are single - who's the perfect geek girl for you? You never know, you might get your wish. Never underestimate the effectiveness of bribing reindeer. :-D

        I'm quite happy with my engineering geek, retired triathlete wife. She's a techie, a killer cook, into climbing and cycling... It may have taken me three wacks at the marriage game to get it right, but third time pays for all.

                A version of Morgan Webb who is less obsessed with video games than the real one. Or maybe I should just start liking video games and settle for Morgan Webb. I knew some girls in calculus class back in high school that were pretty appealing.

                Proof once again that if you take any ordinary looking woman without a horrifying birth defect, add a talented make up artist and clothing expert you can make them look like a sex vixen. And I suspect she's really not *that* into video games. ;)

                                  Haha, I was confused there for a second. I believe Dave's honey is Michelle, and I don't think she frequents these parts. She may not even know about the affair Dave is having with us all. :~

                                    Yeah, we've been together for about 15 years now, and it truly has been the best part of my life so far. :thumbsup:

                                      Back in my rock & roll days, my definition of the perfect girl was reasonably simple. Above and beyond the obvious desire to have her look good in high heels and a little black dress, I just wanted someone who enjoyed the creative & party lifestyle of a musician. These days, prompted in no small way by, er, lessons learned (no bunny jokes, please :)), I find that my requirements are a bit more in depth. Someone who is naturally happy and positive by nature (harder to find that it would seem), intelligent enough for deep conversation, and while she doesn't have to be a full on programmer, a little geekness would go a long way. I mention this just in case Santa is reading CP, of course. How 'bout you guys - at least the ones who are single - who's the perfect geek girl for you? You never know, you might get your wish. Never underestimate the effectiveness of bribing reindeer. :-D

                                      More often than not, I just end up with the girl that loves me back. Of course I have a vision of what kind of partner I would prefer, but when you know the significant other would do anything for you, thats all it takes for me. I am sold.

                                        Well, you'd have to know some of those previous girls to understand. ;)

                                        Maybe we are off in time period, or maybe just style, but I don't really see them as being exclusive. Some of the geek girls I know and have worked with are quite into music and have dated and married successful musicians. I'm thinking of 4 separate instances offhand. Without going into detail, one example is a female project manager dating the lead of a band that would be recognizable to some of you. EDIT: I think we are probably talking about different women in your earlier view, probably based on music style. I don't see many leggy intellectually challenged women when I go to shows. I was fortunate enough to be backstage at a show last week, all of the girls looked like they could be gamers.

                                          You know, I almost put a reference in my initial post to the inevitability of you mentioning Jessica Alba. :-D

                                          I thought it was obvious that I would eventually mention Angelina Jolie, but then I realized I didn't, so that sort of invalidated my original viewpoint. Oh, wait...
