I must disagree here. It may often be because of money, but in most of the
cases I know of, the guy is attracted to the strong independent woman who
just happens to be a geek (in the hetero relationships, obviously). Men
that were raised in a household where the mother was independent, strong,
etc look for that in a woman, and cannot abide by a woman that is a
"doormat". I know that this is the case with me.
>I disagree. I know of no female geeks not in relationship
I know of a couple, but it is by thier choice.

I think the best working relationship, and I have seen several cases, is a
geek guy and a geek girl. Non geeks have a tendency (in my experience) to
get "jealous" of the attention that we geeks lavish upon our "babies"
