    Another good thing about dating geeks? Most of them can’t lie for beans. If you ask a geek a direct question, most of the time they will give you a direct answer before they even have a chance to think about it. A direct question triggers the “data transmission” sequence in their brain and they can’t stop themselves.

    Also, lying is a lot of work and most geeks are maybe just a little bit lazy…..or they’d rather spend the energy somewhere else. Like mastering Linux or contacting space aliens through SETI.
