Website of the Day: Geek Flirt

GeekSugar — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 13:32:19 -0800

I've been mesmerized by the online flirting destination and social network I'm in like with you since this past summer, so I was pleased to learn about another youthful community aimed at bringing the online masses together in the name of love (or at least flirting).

The newly launched Geek Flirt is attempting to bring "geeks together as only the internet could." It works the same as most other Internet dating sites and asks users to share personal details and photos to attract fellow flirters, then generates "geek matches" based on compatibility.

You can chat with other geeks in their chatrooms or privately via IM and browse geek personals or search for a single geek in your area with their zip code based locating system. The site is clean, cute and while it's still a bit sparse in terms of users, it's always fun to check out these communities when they are young so you can watch how they grow. As a special bonus the site is offering new members a complimentary GeekFlirt lip gloss - geek chic, no?

Overheard at the TechCrunch50 Party: Geekiest Pickup Lines

GeekSugar — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 04:00:49 -0700

After I chatted up Samantha Ronson about what software she runs on her MacBook Pro at the TechCrunch50/MySpace party, I made my way around the Mezzanine - okay, I'll admit it. I was looking to see if LL was hiding somewhere in the crowd – and overheard some pretty interesting (and totally geeky) pickup lines.

The party was certainly a single girl's dream - with about 95 percent of the attendees being of the male persuasion - so although I'm not surprised that there was lots of flirting going on, I was totally amused by what I heard. I don't think you need a book to figure a geek out, but some of you guys out there may want to study up on how to successfully pick up girls! I have to admit though, it was kind of endearing to see them try. Check out some of my favorite pickup lines overheard that night when you read more.

While Pop and I were checking out the pics on my digital camera, a German geek comes over to us: "Hey Ladies, would you like me to take your picture?" Groan.
While standing in line waiting to get into the venue: "Hey, haven't I seen you on ValleyWag?"
While waiting in line at the bar: "So, which start-up do you work for?"
While walking through the crowd: "I just got these glasses, so be honest: Do these make me look like a nerd?"

Have you heard some geeky pickup lines in your day? Tell us in the comments below!
