That's a puzzler PR, for sure...
If it's just men that you have trouble with,then that still leaves roughly half the planet's population wide open for success... provided you've got an open mind about that sort of thing. 
I'm teaching a human sexuality course next semester. It should prove interesting.
I'm hoping I won't have to spend most of the three hour lecture playing referee. I'm going to have to be pretty good at playing ring-master depending on who signs up. It's intended to foster discussion in a non-judgmental setting.
So far the most often asked question about it is how much work will be involved.
It's a three credit 200 level course sooo.. answer: "Some. But I'm not trying to kill anyone, including myself. The more people enrolled the lower the likelihood of term papers!"
(I am NOT reading 50 of those suckers on top of my own 14 credit course-load.)
MsA- The pics of the munchkin are sooo cuuuute. He sleeps too!

I can't explain it, but they find me, too. There is one I like in the news singles meetup group I joined, but his ex left him for another woman, so now he wants all new prosepective girlfriends to take lie detector tests just to make sure they're not going to turn out the same way...he doesn't want to be a "lesbian starter kit" for someone new...
Maybe when one gets to a certain age, damaged goods come with the dating territory...

You know I do. Sadly, I haven't had much luck with the ladies, either. It's proven quite difficult to find mutual interest. Lipstick lesbians are only a small percentage of the population. I dated one for a little while about seven years ago. She also proved to be a bit damaged.
Now, no denying that just about everyone has some baggage and issues and things, including myself. I was just hoping that as people grew and matured, it would start being less of an obstacle.
Ah well. I'm gonna try going out with this guy who seems to have a really sexy brain, even if I'm not immediately attracted to him. Sexy brain seems to be the way to go. Plus my oldest friend has been selling him to me for a few years, now; maybe she knows something I don't.
Just because something can't be explained doesn't mean it becomes yours.

I tell everyone: "Date the Geeks, they try harder."
I married an Alpha-Nerd. (I <3 my Doctroid!) 15 years of married and counting without any major complaints on either side SFAIK.
Plus one year of some really hot sex before that. 
(Nerds try harder there too..)
Everyone has baggage, it does NOT improve with time you just upgrade to bigger bags. That lie detector test guy is a little over the top though.
Avoid
1)fresh breakups
2)serial victims (fifteen boyfriends later and it was always his fault they broke up...?)
3)and prowling at support group meetings (let's play "who's more fucked up?"!).
If your friend's been after you to give him a try for years, they're probably on to something.
Looks aren't everything. You can have sex with the lights off or your eyes closed if you need to, but after things go all "Saggy-Baggy-Elephant" and the colors fade to grey you still want someone who you like/can talk to/remembers how you like your tea.
Chin up, tits out.. and remember there's nothing wrong with serial monogamy, dating around, or waiting until you're in your thirties to settle down IF EVER.

I've dated nothing but geeks since I was nineteen. It's at the very top of my criteria list; I don't know how any geeks deal with dating non-geeks.

It doesn't really come up that often, which is part of why I encourage people to Seek The Geek.

Thanks Rosie ...I think he's the cutest ever
Rose all I can say is " date grown ups" Life is too short to waste time on people who haven't worked hard on dealing with their own issues and have a decent understanding of how to be a true partner in a relationship

It's fuzzy-minded liberal thinking like that that gets you eaten.

If they had speed dating at Comic Con, I'd consider buying a ticket.
Of course, I wouldn't be wearing a cat suit or bustier, so I probably still wouldn't be anyone's geek dream.

Thirded! Don't mind a bit of milage on a man one bit as long as he's learned some common sense along the way..
