"A geek understands the feeling and thoughts of computer and video games characters but not always feelings of real human being."...

...was the sentence that my male friend (totally sport, plus member of Mensa) told me two days ago. then i thought that he must be a geek, who would be obssesed with IQ scores , running for miles and miles and i realized: there are normal people and geeks. i am not normal, i guess:) therefore, i am a geek. but not real one. i am fake geek. though i am not a programmer, i am not familiar with 1000 tech. issues (though some of them). people usually reffer geeeks with IT area (false). Then, the other day here's what my friend told me in girls chit-chat coversations: " I was dating a geek. Actually several geeks. Two of them - geeks on architecture (total geeks). First was arty, and the second architecture geek guy , was total nerd but kind guy, plus obssesed with video games. Then, came real geeks: computer science geeks, programmers - those are the most dangerious < i laughed when i heard this story, but i had total empathy for this>. So, i used to date, and later on, live with one so called 'shark' geek/big nerd (worked in sillicon valley, in big coorp. google, microsoft, etc.), who didn't dettached from his devices even when we would go out , either during the day or night. He had his electronica body music, whatever, which was not torelable for the ears and the great wonder was when i put him on my 'records' my french music and rock, indie, alternative and even pop. It was frustrating and when we would go everywhere (in plane, on beach, at coffie shop, in lounge bar etc) he would take his new gadget (pocket pc with phone, or gps so 'we wouldn't get lost' in 'very familiar and well-known paths and highways), and then one day i realized that i am living with a numb (and obviously dumb person, beacuse thousands diplomas and references cannot buy you brain and heart-if you don't have one). His de-bugging in front of the screen very late at night for weeks, months became obssesion - as it was a part of his lifestyle, and when 'bugs' became more important than moi, I broke up with him."
I just kept silence and drifted somewhere away without listening the rest of the post-break up story with that geek. I do not want to believe that all the geeks are like the mentioned guy, as i have few good friends who are into CS field, and know everything about computer. And when I need some expert help from them, and I am thankful for that -even they call them geeks, they are great guys. And most of them like to drink beer.
yes, one of them was my ex , and ex, and ex and ex:)
not that bad for the non-geek girl wannabe!
