I was going to say that. And also perhaps rephrase the last one. I do like to meet chicks and dudes but not in the way that choice is suggesting! Lol
Yeah, it sort of feels like a blend of all of those and also includes found memories of childhood, nostalgia, ect. The only one I don't relate it is the escapism one. I have never considered my love for sci-fi a means to escape reality.
:) You guys crack me up. Ok, added an All Of The Above and clarified the chicks/dudes question for Dan! :)
It's ok, Al, polls in and of themselves are dull, what's fun is the conversation they generate!
Bryan, agreed. I'm just wondering why Dan was the only one who took the chicks/dudes question as a..."romantic" one? :) Perhaps he's denying something? :):) JK.

Lol when I was single being a geek wasn't much of a plus for the ladies I'd encounter.
I cracked it eventually, come out as a geek to your significant other AFTER they're invested in you! ;)
Jamie claims I hid all my geeky stuff from her when we were dating. It's not my fault she never went up to the third floor of my house before agreeing to marry me. :)
Hey, you should put the meeting people thing back in for those that are looking for non-platonic companionship.

Rico is making some changes to the forum soon. Maybe we need a little section for this in the members section? I'm not joking :)
So, sort of a cyber-speed dating forum? Problem with that is, you could think you're flirting with some hot babe (or dude) and come to find out its someone like...ME! :)
..or worse, you fall in love with them and then find out they are HUGE "Twilight" fans... ;)
Fran hid her geekiness, how lucky did I feel when I found out my girlfriend liked Trek!

Really? Did you ever have that dream where you were standing in sort of sun-god robes on top of a pyramid, and there were hundreds of naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....no. But what concerns me now is why you would have this dream....

I can imagine the classifieds:
"Tall professional 30 something male, Klingon speaker seeks 20-30 something lady, Vulcan / Romulan appearance, for companionship, possibly romance. Pain sticks optional."
;)
wow, I would imagine disovering that they were into Twilight might really suck. ;)

And they'd bleed you dry buying all the merchandise.

I don't know. It depends how you found that out I guess...
