Why bother with a personals ad, when you could just be mentioned in the NY Daily News? That's what happened to blogger CGHill of Dustbury. From the article:
...more women are discovering the allure of brainy men who admit they're more experienced at computer games than the game of love.
I'd like to let the ladies know that in school, I was the kid that the geeks beat up for lunch money so they could go to Radio Shack. I expect that I shall now be inundated in the lovelies, oh yeah.

Posted by: Ted at September 5, 2005 09:33 PMAnd how effective was this little blurb in overwhelming my love life?
You'll note I have plenty of time to read this and post a comment. :)
Ted, you should have posted a "hot" photo of yourself with your Commodore 64! That would have totally brought 'em in.

Oh man, I can't wait for the flood.

Do I have you beat?
Oh, and I didn't mention the tape on my glasses too.
And the mullet.
Posted by: Oorgo at September 6, 2005 07:04 PMI only dated brainy men, geeky or not. I have a saying, "The Geeks ultimately rule the world." I prefer to be on their team.
BTW, you have a birthday coming up. ;-)
