Dating sites continue to be all the rage and here’s one: Geek to Geek that will appeal to the geek side/types. Even if you are a happily married geek, this geek to geek site lets you find other geek friends, male or female. Now let’s analyze the photo above and determine its geekyness:

1. male, glasses. Where’s the freaking pocket protector?
2. female, glasses. Why is that glasses make you a geek? Is it more chic to wear contacts?
3. various top 10 lists like top ten reasons why geeks make the best lovers, top ten geek movies, well known geeks (WTF? Anthony Michael Hall is a geek?!?)

This site is well done on the outside and compelling to register. I registered just to see what was inside, and to hopefully invite some local friendly geek connections, as well as analyze their profile questions. I mean, I wouldn’t be a geek if I didn’t analyze the questions, would I?

Most the profile questions were relevant, but I was disappointed in the PC Preference question. IT only had PC or Mac. What about Linux? And why weren’t they checkboxes? It is possible for geeks to like PC, Linux and Mac … why do I have to choose between two or the ultra-lame ‘unimportant’ radio box?

And what about calculator preference? Doesn’t anybody use the Windows or Mac calculators? Why isn’t that a choice? Or, perhaps even better, how abou a calculator you wrote yourself?

These What Is Your Favorite Questions get me every time. How do you answer these questions? TV Show? Twilight Zone (the original). My favorite most well known geek is a toss-up between the legends: Isaac Asimov and Stephen Hawking.

Yikes, here I am 10 minutes later still filling out the profile! These matchmaking site profile forms can be intense. Finally, I got through it and logged in and the very first link I clicked (new matches) led to this:

Looks like they need a geek!

Update: I don’t really consider this matchmaking/dating site: “finest” as the title says. It seems to be new upstart with very few listings, so if you are looking for serious matchmaking then you might want to check one of the other major dating/matchmaking sites. However this one does have potential, once they get enough members and work out the bugs.

Did this post make you go hmm?
