You're clean, wearing a suit. Oh, wait - you play a nerd game? Fuck you then.

Not nitpick or anything but she got nerd confused with geek. A nerd would be more along the lines of leo the robot builder. Geeks, such as myself, play Magic and are into comic books. I do, howver, have nerd-like tendencies, so I am a nerdy geek.

What is science fiction? Nerd, Geek or both?

I would call it both, yes.
The line tends to blur in a lot of places, but the naming of a nerd in the OP was clearly a geek.

Fair enough, it's a fairly substantial interest of his that she doesn't share, it would be like calling off a relationship with a girl after you found out she had a massive doll collection and went to conventions...

Agreed - 100%

Your first question answered the second.

Quote:The fact she's being harassed for it is pretty pathetic.

Disagree wholeheartedly. One does have the undeniable right to be picky about who one dates. Common ground and personal taste are very important. I certainly have no problem with that. However, where I disagree is this. If she's willing to make a big stink over this guy's "geeky" interests, and harass him, in print no less, than a pretentious bitch deserves to be called out as a pretentious bitch.

I'm not a gamer at all - I mean ... at ALL, but I find her nerve to very publicly insult and attempt to embarrass a man just because she doesn't find an interest of his to be cool or acceptable is bull shit, and she is certainly worthy of some level of harassment. Which is what I am doing. Furthermore, I think if one can dish it out - than one can certainly take it.

My opinion --- she got what was coming to her.

I don't see a difference in nerd and geek... They are just two terms for the same fantastic thing.

Hey hey now folks. This poor girl put on her helmet and pick and went mining for some "hedge fund" gold. She's a little pissed at this point, and frustrated because she can't say exactly why she's pissed without coming off like a total douche. Unfortunately, the only narrative she could come up with made her seem like just as a big a douche....but let's not judge..lol.

I read that, and suddenly the irritation I had just vanished. Instead, I merely feel disgust that she had to blame her date for being and publish an article on it.

I do think a lot of the backlash is over the perception that she is a malicious gold digger -- key term on malicious.

For the guy who she badmouthed (Jon Finkel), things appear to have gone rather well...

He did an IAMA request on Reddit - REF: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/jz..._anything/

Apparently women are sending him tweets and asking for dates (though he regretfully notes none of them seem to be in the New York area). So things went pretty damn well for him.

So I'd end this chapter with "Mr. Finkel, I salute you for your cool handling of this entire situation, given the very public nature of the entire scenario."

Wait... A genius-level world champion of tactics wanted to date her, and she turned him down!? For being too geeky!?
I can't help but lol. Based on her story, she'll never get anyone else even close to that dedicated or skilled.
