It's hip to be square?

So the front page of the Daily Commie Liberal Rag today had an article proclaiming that 'beauties seem drawn to geeks'. Their justification, which they say 'is pretty compelling', is this: Jennifer Aniston is dating Vincent Vaughn. Heather Locklear is dating David Spade. Jenny McCarthy is rumored to be dating Jim Carrey. Kirsten Dunst might sort of be dating Andy Samberg.
I've never heard of Andy Samberg. He might actually be a geek. But the other three, to whom the article refers as a 'galoot', a 'dork' and a 'knockabout funnyman', do not strike me as strong entries in the Geek category. This, of course, is secondary to the idea that four celebrity data points construe a sweeping new worldwide trend.
Now, if Salma Hayek starts dating Stephen Hawking, or Alison Hannigan were to start dating me....

Talk Geeky Yo Me

no, now I'm in SF ... but it's hard to change an LJ handle so it's just kinda stuck.

And no: actors are not geeks. necessarily. it's possible to overlap.... but unusual. more likely with the Techies. but even then, techies are techies, not necessarily geeks. I have dated about equal number of actors and geeks ... when I'm done being depressed over the big geek who just left me, maybe I'll do the numbers. I like numbers :) and glasses. and acronymys.... sigh.

Oh no, there are definitely actors who are geeks. The more I hear about Elijah Wood, the more I know he's a big geek. (:
*hugs* for being depressed and yeah, smart is way sexy.
(Actually, I've heard it's easy to change an LJ name if you want and you can find a name that's not taken. A couple of my friends have done it in the past few months. But if you like the one you've got, then hang on to it.)
