The perfect girl
-
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

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. ;)
There is no failure only feedback

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.

Whoever said that your previous perfect girl and latter perfect girl are mutually exclusive?
Well, you'd have to know some of those previous girls to understand. ;)

Good boy, Dave. You get to stay married another year. :-D [edit] Whoops. For some reason, I thought Alison was Mrs. DD's name. Bad Dave. No cookie for you. :) [/edit]

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. :~

Writing apps? Developing sites? Hate marketing? We can help.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 have NO idea how true that is. Though I've got say, once I figured out that I attract negative and depressive women, so that I can rescue them, and once I did enough therapy to at least recognize my rescuing nature and to stop it, I'm all of a sudden surrounded by healthy, happy and positive women. And while everyone goes through painful experiences, these are women that don't stay in that place and actively work on getting out of the negative space.

On that count, I'm absolutely amazed at the intelligence and wisdom of the women in my life, across a wide age range.

In all honesty, someone that really understands what freedom means, and makes choices out of freedom and in a compassionate way and honest way. But to get to that point, I, me, and myself had to do (and continue to do) a heck of a lot of inner work on being honest, open, and compassionate as well. It's been a rough road, because being compassionate toward another person means that I really know how to also be compassionate with myself. And something I'm thoroughly enjoying is having deep and meaningful relationships with women that don't tread into physical intimacy--it just keeps things so much simpler and also creates a really wonderful place of trust and safety. It's a rare and quite frankly, joyful experience. Anyways, that's my philosophizing for the day. :) Marc
