I think Ms. Brown is frustrated she hasn't found a non-jerk Alpha male so she is bashing nerds worried she might have to "settle" for one. Austen seems to be for dating Regency era nerds: Darcy, Edward Ferrars, Colonel Brandon, Edmund Bertram, George Knightley, and Henry Tilney.

Very little of the advice that comes out of Hollywood is good advice.

If you saw her picture you’d likely conclude she couldn’t get a nerd if she stepped on one.

I think the article is reflective of the idea that women are getting tired of having to take charge and want real men.

You can be a nerd that works out and learns MMA...

There are non-jerk alpha males out there. I have a cousin-in-law who’s one. He jokes that he’s an alpha male everywhere but his own house.

“Dating the nerd” is not just because they are smart and will be gainfully employed, but also because they are more likely to not be used to having their gifts appreciated.

It’s sort of the guy version of “If you want to be happy for the rest of your life,[ . . . ]find an ugly girl to marry you.”

The only non-jerk Alpha male I can think of right now is Ted Cruz.

CRUZ or lose in 2016!

I’d want my daughter to date a man that can hunt, farm, split wood, and read books to children....

I'm not a nerd.

Nerds are smart.

I have been married to a programmer for 20+ years. Only marry one if you want to be a well loved wife to a man who doesn’t cheat, who is an unselfish lover, who has a six figure income, and who can fix your computer/smartphone/Network connection/Netflix remote, etc.

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.
