Ya ya ya mouse, I know I would be 30,000 times the geek of all of you had the ladies not been around, well except if your hardcore azn, then ya, I bow, but still, geek power.
As for girls appreciating your geekyness, its simple, put shiny blinking lights around geeky things, and they will follow the lights. (If your girlfriend lapses into epileptic shock, its not my fault)
