All because the lady loves...

And for my first trick, a piece of serious journalistic endeavour: bringing you the news we've all been waiting for: Nerds make better lovers.

A few days old and from the New York Daily News, but irresistable nonetheless.

"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."


Not quite sure their ultrasuccessful geeks (Tiger Woods, David Arquette, Adam Brody) are playing with the same deck of cards as us earthbound pointyheads, but we can all dream. Can't we?

PS: One question - does the rule count for female geeks too?
