<description><![CDATA[as a nerd im offened (and i know i speak for at least the D&amp;D groups im in as well and a warhammer group)
we are not so wrapped up in our computers that we would resort o that level. Yes we may be over protective of them and name them , but non of my friends would ever do that. You underestimate the primal urge of homo sapien to go and find a mate or companion of the opposite sex.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have read your blog for over a year at least and sometimes you blow me away with your humor. You managed to maintain that until today when you really went overboard with your internet fantasy. Today, I was truly baffled, but I'm sure the guys loved it. I guess I'm just a prude because there is no device out there to be 'invented' that would ever replace human touch. Sigh. 
BTW, I married a smart guy. I guess you can say, I 'married' up.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I can honestly say I prefer smart, average looking men. I always have. Not to say I can't enjoy looking at a big, dumb lug, but my real attraction has always been brains. 

My first crush from the age of about 7 was Mr. Spock - and it was in the 80s so most girls my age where into Westley Crusher if they were in Trekkie households at all. I totally wanted to grow up, marry Spock and have super smart, pointy eared babies. I also loved Dr. Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters, just to prove it's not a fluke. 

To this day, I like tall and good at math, science and spelling. My husband fits to a tee. Now if only he has pointy ears. 

Studies like this don't take the intelligence of the woman into account. I'm (not being vain) above average in the brain department myself. In relationships the benefits of being with a smart guy are obvious, but I would argue even in a strictly for fun affair. Creativity and ability to learn are traits the big hunk who cares more about building muscles then reading books.

The lesson: Look to the women as geeky and smart as you.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Don't worry Scott it won't be the lack of breeding smart people who do it. It'll be the inbreeding. You see such technology, when available would work both ways. So women would start to use it too- however as women (unlike most men) come with the need to procreate (not just do the practice) it would probably soon start to come with an injector for &quot;pre screened procreation potential&quot;. This would allow women to chose from what they want (not what they can get) The problem comes in the next generations when everybody is the offspring of random women and the two guys who managed to get a Nobel, win Mr Universe, and hold nice dinner conversation while being well groomed members of mensa. Naturally these guys would also be rich- because if nothing else there are billions a shot and you only really need one to charge a cuple of bucks per injection....]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Scientists estimate that by the end of this century, via the means of Virtual Reality, a man will be able to simulate making love to any women he wants to through his television set. You know, folks, the day an unemployed ironworker can lay in his Bark-a-lounger with a Fosters in one hand and a channel flicker in the other and virtually boink Claudia Schiffer for $19.95, itâ€™s gonna make crack look like Sanka, all right?!

<description><![CDATA[&quot;In my vast experience as an unattractive smart guy&quot;

OK, someone's gotta say it;  Scott, you are NOT unattractive.  Tom Cruise isn't feeling threatened by your looks, certainly, but that's because you're an AVERAGE-LOOKING middle aged guy, not because you scare babies.

Yes, you're balding and bespectacled, but so are the vast majority of men your age, and 10-20 years younger than you as well, so that STILL makes you average.

UNLIKE the vast majority of American men over 25, thanks to your diet and tennis playing you're neither overweight nor out of shape...  which, since bodies are important in calculating attraction, makes you ABOVE average in overall physical appeal, doubly so in your age group.  Not so far above average that bodybuilders feel inadequate next to you, but still.

It's ok to be pretty much average physically;  you're in good, not to mention plentiful, company.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I'd be more interested in a study that finally determines which band member gets the most tail ... the lead singer, the guitar player, the bass player or the drummer? Of course, the lighting guy should also be included, but we all know that's just so they don't feel left out.]]></description>

Top blogs, Costco Connection, BNet...  Crap.  You're like Full House big now.

PS: please bring Topper back, and start a bubble with something like: &quot;That's nothing, my uncle knows so and so and they hang out all the time...&quot;  It's either that or I have to punch myself in the grill the next time I hear it here.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I just wanted to comment to say  I love the blog and love your writing.  Every time I read your next entry, I feel like I need to comment, twitter, utterz or link to you in some way.  but I end up not doing it.  I guess I should let you know I *do* buy your books (often) and give them away as gifts (sometimes).

So, keep being funny or I stop paying.]]></description>
