Yes it does, and if any of you happen to disagree to that sentiment, I direct you to MacGenius's Q&A - right here... IP: Logged |

I'm not disagreeing with the sentiment, just posing the question: why do you say love stinks? And why am I replying in here? Your Q and A is currently technology-themed, and it makes more sense to follow this thread in the topic of the same name and not hide it away somewhere else. - uilleann IP: Logged |

Why does love stink? Because it does. This being Geek Culture, select one: 1. Spend time with your girl/boyfreind [UGH] If you selected the former, you are probably *not* a geek. 'Nuff said. IP: Logged |

You know, that wasn't quite the response I was expecting, more of some great injustice done to you. Of course, you could just invest in a good clothes peg to put on your nose to make it more bearable until you find a better solution... Seriously, though, you're saying that all geeks want nothing more than to be superglued to their chair at their desk 24/7? And to spend all that time surfing the Web? I don't think the definition of being a geek has anywhere written that "Thou shalt spend every waking hour at thy computer." If one has a boyfriend or girlfriend, then is it not reasonable to assume that one has some feelings for them? And if so, why would you not want to spend time with them? If you would rather sit at the computer and shut them out of your life, then I suggest they pack their bags and find someone else a little more attentive. Of course, I am speaking from the perspective that I still retain a little bit of non-cynical hope in terms of having a relationship - maybe if I ever find myself in one, I'll find myself with the kind of selfish girl that seems to plague you. However, as long as you don't deliberately shut her out of your life, any decent girl you find should be accommodating to your needs, but in the same way that you would be to her - you'll need to meet this in the middle, work it out between you. It can and does work, just see how many married geeks are here in GeekCulture. It does work. Of course, it does help to find someone more suited to you as a geek - not every two people are a good match, you may have just not found your kind of girl yet. As I recall, though, you've got many years left before you die, so no need to give up hope yet. Keep looking. - uilleann IP: Logged |

Seriously, though, that's what I want - glued to the computer, 24/7. That's what being a geek is all about, might not be for some geeks, but it is for me. Why get married is beyond me. Just ask Nayt (macaddikt18)... Anyways, for me NOTHING is more boring than spending time with someone else... IP: Logged |

Seriously, though, that's what I want - glued to the computer, 24/7. Heh, now that really made me smile. Well, the choice is yours; I assume that means you sit on a commode all day long too, or have an astronaut's suit on to deal with inevitable waste? Not that there ever would be any, seeing as you never go eat either :) Why get married is beyond me. Just ask Nayt (macaddikt18)... Anyways, for me NOTHING is more boring than spending time with someone else... But anyhow, if you're content to never leave the computer, as you think you would be, then what on earth is the problem with love? You don't want or have time for love, so if girls suck, who cares? The fact that it bothers you suggests that you do want love really; come on and admit it :) (Unless you have me-like hates, and you just hate love because.) - uilleann IP: Logged |

Quoting MacGenius: Hey, I made that comic on my Mac, for god's sake. Anything I do on my Mac - even taking to other people - is interesting for me. You made it on the Mac? Wow, I'm astonished... not. Now, I do spend time chatting online, in AIM/ICQ/IRC, and personally, while it has its advantages for chatting in groups etc, I also can find it very limiting in terms of expressing myself, and interpreting other's emotions and mode of expression. Whether you use any such chat networks, I don't know. Maybe you're content with the level of interaction found in the forums, but for me, conversing IRL is better, although things haven't worked in favour of that being more present in my life than it is now. You still never answered my point from last time though - if you're not interested in other people, or love, or anything like that, why do you come here and proclaim that love (which other people do enjoy) stinks? If you can live without it, and are happy that way, what is the problem? As I said, sounds like you're not as satisfied without it as you think... ...your desktop picture is cool... - uilleann IP: Logged |

love is a wonderfull feeling IMHO...it does however suck the way it can make you feel at times...worried for no apparant reason about the person you love...worried that you may lose them, or that you won't see them again...aye, love is a wonderful thing, but it CAN indeed suck, given the right circumstances (such as being deeply in love, and then losing the person you love etc...though, to be honest, loving someone I believe that you would do anything to make them happy, and if leaving you is what makes them happy, then you've got to let them go as well..it's not exactly the most comforting thing, but, well, that's just the way I feel....

Ah, but what about having a gal attached to your network 24/7... wel 21/7, because there are a FEW, VERY few things more important than computers... Besides, I learned to night that there is definatly something sexy about a girl who knows you don't NEED a mouse... I never saw keystrokes that fast before. *sigh* *Silly grin* *double sigh* ... Point and click, HA! Why, who on earth wants to use a computer that doesn't give you access to the cammand line? IP: Logged |

Yes... I do. I feel like, I'd say "like I was 16 again" but it's worse than that... The friend from school who knows about hte crush keeps laughing at me because I begin hopping up and down when I think about the past two days... and we're not technically a couple (yet... *knocking on wood and crossing fingers*) I have always defended Love, look at the post that I wrote in responce to the other thread thta claimed that Love is not for geeks. I digress... I'll begin babeling about her, if I am not careful. I will end this post so I can continue looking for date ideas... So many ideas, but none quite seems to be "perfect yet." At least I have the florist of the Gods, but they cost an arm and a leg. ..... I'm doing it again, so I digress.... really this time. IP: Logged |

Yes, but no one has SAID it yet. Me and U have been hinting too... I think it is sorta funny that no one has said "Neo likes cornflakes with lots of sugar." I mean really how hard is it to say such a thing. Ah, well, if you all want to to keep it up, I won't say that "There are two lovers on this board with the handels Snupy and Spungo." Ummmmm...

im kinda split on the subject i agree with neo that love could be a beautiful thing(there is a first time for everything but i also agree with MacGenius that it does stink.. if you are in a great relationship that makes you happy and brings a smile to your face knowing that you have someone who you love and that loves you back can be great.. but on the other hand love can also stink if you have nobody.. as MacGenius has no doubt experienced(sorry man) and i have as well.. but you take the good with the bad and you come to the realization that spending that minute holding that person that you love is a great thing and is a better alternative(at least in my mind) to sitting around moping.. MacGenius there is hope for everybody.. even me  Mac, im sure there is a girl out there who will love you.. quote: i hate love at times too.. even hermits can find love.. i just hope thats true for me when i become one IP: Logged |

oh, aye, I'll agree that love can stink if you don't have someone, but, once you find that someone your opinion will change, I guarantee it....of course, I could argue that love stinks if it's long distance too, but, well that dosn't change how great it feels to know that I have a girl who loves me very much...*sigh*..well, I wish all of you good luck ------------------ IP: Logged |

Love is a many splended thing! You see, love is love. If it wasn't so bad to be out it, it wouldn't be nearly as good to be in it. I can't to findout how she feels about me... I have a feeling that I am not imagine the exchange of feelings. We'll see what happens. Hmmmmm.... I have the stuff for root beer floats, I am to help with her homework tomarrow... If I can help her get it done before it is too late, I might be able to invite her in for floats and conversation. We'll see what happens. IP: Logged |
