Say it with me: "Nice boots!"

As if geeks couldn't get any more pathetic.

Even the most quirky of computer nerds can learn to flirt with finesse thanks to a new "flirting course" being offered to budding IT engineers at Potsdam University south of Berlin. The 440 students enrolled in the master's degree course will learn how to write flirtatious text messages and emails, impress people at parties and cope with rejection.

This strikes me as destruction of a brand. Part of the appeal of dating geeks, for me at least, is that the male of the species is so needy for any sort of female attention that he'll do anything for a girl who so much as throws him a glance.  This desperation makes a geek an excellent boyfriend and husband.

Remember, ladies, you can teach a guy how to dress without a pocket protector and highwater pants, you can buy him glasses that aren't held together with tape and a paperclip, you can even convince him that the full-size stormtrooper needs to go in the basement.  Training a guy not to be an asshole, not so easy.
