Steps for Nerds to get a girl.

I got some tips off of Wikipedia and would like to see if they work for gamers and they are:
1. You're not any different from anyone else in high school. Or middle school either.
2. Accept that We are all unique, even if it doesn't seem that way, and every girl has a different taste. So what if you're into video games or comics, or maybe computers and coding. Anime? That's cool too! Accept who you are and don't get yourself in the mindset that you can't get a girl because of who you are.
3. Believe in yourself. You need confidence in yourself and you need to understand that you are great. Just keep doing what you're doing in life, don't change because you think something is too nerdy.
4. Get out there and have fun. Introduce yourself to girls, or have friends introduce some to you. I know it may seem a little scary, but that's why you need confidence. Talk to girls you're friends with or girls you go to school / work with.
5. Even if these tips don't work at first, accept and embrace the fact that everything happens when you don't expect it. You'll get a girlfriend, and then smile and laugh at yourself, thinking, how did I get her? But you will, I promise, you will get to that point.
6. Just live life. This is perhaps the most important step. Just life your life.
Any comments?
 
Girl Gamer's Top Tip:

Find a nerdy girl gamer. You'll understand each other and respect the whole gaming culture.

P.S. Nerdy girl does not necessarily mean non-attractive girl. I am a nerd and I think I'm attractive :p

Hear Hear. Ultimately, just be yourself. South African society constantly tries to make us feel guilty regarding our sport and our lifestyle – especially if you're a woman. Many of the girls I attended school with had two or more mewling offspring hanging from each arm the minute they set foot out of high school. No thanks. I kill monsters. It's what I do. To reiterate powderbucket's point: If gaming's your life, it'd be beneficial to seek out a compatible partner who'll share your passion. We are indeed the minority (here in Darkest Africa ...), so it might take a bit longer, but will eventually materialise if you stay true to yourself and cultivate a bit of self confidence. The only thing I'd advise against is patriarchal behaviour. It's unnecessary and antagonistic.

I don't like the way I look at all, but recognise that my husband appreciates being married to a gamer when, for example, I'm in another room and overhear comments like:

[Party] Husband: Thanks. Nice healing. Good priest.
[Party] Random Phillipino Priest with Inflated Ego: Yes. I am God ... I know I'm awesome ...
[Party] Husband: Not as good as my wife though.
[Party] Everyone else: BWAHAHHAHA!

Also when I buy him surprise gamer swag online or pets from the Blizzard Store. :p
Most women with half a brain generally favour intelligent, interesting guys with a good sense of humour / imagination over boring, predictable jocks who's main contribution to conversation is how many people they "flattied" or "how drunk they were that one time back in 'Nam".

If you can't find a girl who's into gaming, then at least try find one with her own time-sink hobby. Otherwise all the spare time you sink into gaming will quickly become an issue.

Tell me about.

I've dated people (who were men) who got so irritated when I played games because "my gaming was stealing important time that could be spent with them." At first they found it "rad" until they discovered I was rather serious.

For people in university I guess it is easy to just join a gaming community and hook up, but in the real world it's slightly different. Unless "mygaming-dating" is established :p

LOL @ (who were men)

My wife a most definitely not a gamer, and I often have to restrain myself from sneaking off to do some virtual people killing (at least until she falls asleep), but if she settles in for the night with a bunch of Grey's Anatomy / Vampire Diaries / Top Chef / etc, then I cruise off to the lounge to get my gaming fix. Spare TV FTW!

Also, the wives / GF's of my group of friends are thankfully also good friends with each other, so sometimes they will all go out together and my buddies and I get to have a whole gaming day.

Haha now you see, I'd wanna join the guys! Provided they took my abilities seriously <_<
 
If you need to follow advice from an online source to find a girl, you're not going to find one. :p

Hey, girls love unicorns. It's just a matter of time before it lands me a girl. :(

But I stand by what I said. If you're reduced to looking for advice on getting a girl online, you're way past the point where online help is going to do you much good anyways. Then it goes into the realm of having a firmly rooted psychological issue.

What angers me more is the people who try and capitalize on people like this. I had a flatmate two years back who firmly believed that he had to be rude and insult women in order to get them interested in him, all because he bought an ebook from a dating site which told him that.
The saddest part? I firmly believe the real reason he had trouble socializing with others, not only with girls but people in general, is because his father committed suicide a few years back and he was never afforded a chance to work through it.

Ya, the internet is not exactly the best place for relationship advice, and I don't think anyone is taking this thread too seriously, although having a look through that list, it boils down to be yourself and have some confidence in yourself, which really does seem like good advice, although if you've resorted to wikipedia to get a girl, that might not be so easy to do. Sorry about you friend dude, that's rough.
