Product Description
Product Description
Bill Gates. Seth Rogen (Knocked Up, Superbad). Adam Brody (The OC). There's no doubt about it. While they may be stuck inside all day playing video games, or spending their extra money on rare editions of comic books (er, graphic novels) - geeks are chic. And why shouldn't they be? Geeks (along with their close friends, dorks and nerds) run the world, they're loyal as hell, and their extreme passions are fascinating.So how can women make them as passionate for their girlfriends as they are for Star Wars? Complete with a glossary for technical jargon, helpful quotes from geek-perts, and illustrations of each nerd niche, Carrie Tucker tells of the: 'Can't I just finish this level' guy; 'This is not a kid's book' guy; and, 'I'm not a speed reader, just a speed understander' guy. With "I Love Geeks", women can bring a relationship with a geek from 'in a galaxy far, far away' into reality.

From a slightly geeky girl for not-so-geeky girls
13 April 2009
Format:Paperback
This girl definitely knows what she is talking about. At least, from the geek boyfriend's point of view. I sincerely hope her advice will help girlfriends everywhere.

A primer, not a manual
10 Feb 2009
Format:Paperback
Hey ladies, tired of meatheads? Carrie Tucker, a self-professed nerd, breaks it all down for the girl who hopes to land a geek in the wild and figure out how to deal with his obsessions (i.e. don't change him, nod politely as he cries over the possibility of a Firefly movie). After a quiz to determine the breadth (and depth) of your guy's nerdiness, and a brief history lesson - from D&D to DOS prompts - each chapter defines and addresses the mindset of various genres, from Anime to graphic novels to video games to film and television to sci-fi to...sports (90-pound weaklings need some survival tactic against guys pressing them against lockers, I suppose). The absence of information on music and literary geeks is puzzling, but this is an otherwise informative primer for women sick of waking up nude in an alley after blacking out at the local sports bar.
Terrible; Not for true girl geeks
6 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a female geek, I felt like checking this book out. I was hoping to find something that would have been amusing rather than offensive. Despite how she has little blurbs from fellow ladies dating geeks, I feel as if the majority of the book is just written off of her own experiences with dating geeks and nerds. I saw references to beloved games being called "cute" among other words that just make me cringe when I try to think of what a dating a geek guide should have. Please, if you already are a geek girl, don't pick up this book. You will cringe at many points.
