Hollywood has told women to date nerds for decades. It’s bad advice.

Earlier this week Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg made headlines for his response to commenter Darlene Hackemer Loretto who wrote that she encourages her granddaughters to “date the nerd in school [because] he may turn out to be Mark Zuckerberg.” The magnate — and new, first-time father of a daughter — deflected the supposed compliment, suggesting, “Even better would be to encourage them to *be* the nerd in school so they can be the next successful inventor.”

Hey, hey, none of that sensible talk makin’ here.

Everyone knows that around here, the true essence of male attraction is based in grunts, bodily noises (and odors) and the occasional grunting about hitting and/or guilt.

Anything less and you might as well be a brony, and you wouldn’t want to be associated with that, now would you?

Perhaps we should seek Godly counsel for a spouse rather than a tech company founder. Given his young age, he knows little of life and I see no reasons to seek or follow his advice.

A man may get to the end of his life never having to change a tire on a cold, snowy night. He won't get to the end of his life as a man however.

I'm fairly old, and I have never had a flat tire on a cold, snowy night. I have, however, changed dozens of flats that were not mine, including a couple in the snow at night. I agree with you. That's what men do.

“I’ve changed plenty of tires, but it’ll never happen in the snow because I refuse to live where white crap falls from the sky.”

For me it’s the year round boating and WaveRunning.

"Dollars per hour my nerd skills are way more valuable than my redneck skill, though I am proud to have both."

Nicely put. ; )

You are a lucky woman, for sure! Nerds are awesome.
