Via Slashdot:
The New York Daily News has a story entitled Nerds make Better Lovers.
The author looks at Courtney Cox, Tiger Woods, Rachel Bilson, and Christina Aguilera’s relationship choices. From this comes the conclusion that being a nerd is in. This article is a very poorly supported one at best.
The headline caught my eye. Despite being sorely disappointed with the article, I did find a couple of interesting quotes:
“A nerd is an excellent provider and a guy who puts you first,” says E. Jean Carroll, Elle magazine’s love and sex advice columnist. “He’ll turn out to be a great father and a great husband.”
And, she insists that a woman who is willing to stick it out with a nerd and get past his quirks will be handsomely rewarded. “Don’t give up on him too fast,” she said. “If you stick with him, he’s going to turn out to be really great.”
“Girls tend to worry about what their friends are going to think,” she said, “and you have to get over it. You can’t always be making excuses and apologies. Give him the respect he deserves, and don’t always be assuming you’re better than him.”
