So, you assume that geeks are losers forever destined to be lonely and overworked? I resent that. I'm about as outspoken as someone can be with my geekiness, yet I have a girlfriend... Yes, I do, believe it or not.

In closing, geeks are not losers. Geeks are a superior breed of humans. Want proof?

I hate people. I'm glad I'm not a people. I'm a geek.
As a geek I'd say that was a pretty good description. I really don't get lonely, I can pretty much entertain myself for days (and I'm married). I do however get overworked, thats just because I don't want to get labeled as a loser by the other geeks I work with who put in 60 hours a week regularly. Geeks are not a superior breed of humans, we just make 3-4 times more a year than everyone else
