Do geeks make better mates?

I had a read at an article in this past Sunday's Nation by Christopher Hart. [You have to regiter to read online articles and I refuse to register to read newspaper articles, hence I can't provide the link]

Anyway, it was one of those pre-valentine's type articles, but a bit more original. Here was a guy actually suggesting, and substantiating his reasons why women should look towards geeks for mates. Well. The world has indeed changed, and computing and related technologies have given geeks a real boost. Taunts at them aren't as fun anymore because their net worth would probably shame their taunters, and would cover any psychiatrist fees anyway.

The author listed quite a number of qualities of geeks that he proposed as reasons why chics should give them a second look. I found the read rather interesting, possibly because I'm somewhat of a geek myself. There is hope.
